The 61-year-old Cincinnati lawyer and frequent White House caller, Sawyer, was at his Cincinnati home last night and declined comment on the President’s offer. Officials expect he will accept. Sawyer served as lieutenant governor in 1938 and as Democratic national committeeman from 1936 to 1944, and was ambassador to Belgium in 1944 and 1945. He met Truman in Antwerp in 1945 on the way to the Potsdam conference. Observers say the choice aims to bolster the cabinet before the 1948 campaign.
