Truman May Quit If War Soon Ended
In Key West Florida Democratic National Chairman Frank E. McKinney said Truman’s re election chances would be lessened if the Korean war ends satisfactorily. He cited the Korea situation as a paramount factor in the President’s thinking and noted Truman may support an open convention if he does not run. He planned to announce intentions well before the July convention, possibly after the May 13 Democratic Executive Committee meeting in Chicago, with ongoing uncertainty about a Korean truce and strategy. McKinney also said Truman has begun taking personal charge of political strategy and ordered California officials to withdraw the President’s name from the June 3 primary.
