Truman plans to relax for next ten years after White House
President says after leaving office in January he will spend ten years having a good time and doing as he pleases. He will travel only where it does not embarrass the next president, and cautions that world conditions are grave. He predicts no World War II if labor disputes and budget cuts do not cripple production and if Congress restores defense and foreign aid cuts. He declines to name a Democratic nominee but says he may reveal his choice when he wishes. He hopes for a quick oil strike settlement and does not anticipate using Taft Hartley Act yet.
