No Cabinet Change Expected Truman Informs Conference
President Truman said he would not change his cabinet at this time and could shuffle later, reserving the right to adjust cabinet membership. The first White House news conference since the election drew 225 reporters, the largest crowd since 1945. He defended his NY electoral votes and dismissed adding southern votes to his total, and he declined to speculate on talks with Madame Chiang Kai-shek.
