The President added that he'd

Truman was told at his news

himself.
Thin he denied and said such
charges usually originated m warp

Of Wednesday's statement by
Gen. Eisenhower that the Demo

Truman replied It Is up to the
people to decide that.
NO COMMENT
He declined further comment on

interested in the Republican pre
convention race.
Asked if he thought Eisenhower
spelled out the Issues of the cam

Likewise, Truman declined to get
inio the controversy between El
senhower and Sen. Taft over El
senhower's air power views.
He said with a grin that the
GOP's quarrels please him very
much but he's not going to get
mixed up in them.
Taft said last sunaay mai a

On other matters. Truman said:
1 He does not plan to send Con
gress any legislation dealing With
the steel strike, and he won't com

the Talt-Hattley act. -
2 He has no comment, and nev
er will have a comment, on the Su
preme Court's ruling that his seiz
ure .of the steel industry was Ille
gal. A reporter recalled his previ
ous statement that nobody can
take away his powers of seizure In
an emergency, and asked if he
would elucidate. Truman said he
would at a later date.
3 He doesn't expect war to
break out in Europe this summer.
If he did. the President said, he
wouldn't let his daughter Margaret
and a friend go through with their
proposed European tour in uie
summer.
