Believe Truman To Run For Reelection Belief Expressed By Top Democrats AV’ashingtoii. Jan. 17 Some highly-placed Democrats, who formerly had their doubts about it, were convinced today that President Truman intends to tun for reelection. They did not claim to have "the word”, direct from the White House. But they thought they could .=ee enough straws'.in the wind To know which way it Is blow ing. Sen. Hubert 11. Humpnrey (D---?.l|nn.) Faid after a White House v’uit earlier this week he doesn’t believe Mr. v Truman has made up his mind what he will do. But most other are taking the pre.-iden’; s word for it that he kimw •• >what he is going to do hu: it ::’t rea !y to say yet. : • One prominent party stirategist predicted that Mr.. Truman’s decision to seek another term will become manifest in a few weelts in his attitude tthtard the various state presidential. primaries. ‘ Another, wiio was guessing only few dhy, ago thai Mr. ’lkumati would not rub. ,-aid he nov. expects rto-Truman U?f<'es to work- in the spring' Democratic primaries -for slates of convention delegates pie;lgf|d to th. president, Or at least pledged to friendly “favorite son’’ Candidates.

Sen. Brien McMahon said; last night he did not helteve Mr. Truman would run “'if it were up to his personal preference.” But the Connecticut Democrat added that ♦he president may be forced to tuu to support his foreign and do-me-tic poli'ies.

British Irked At Japan's decision ! Charge U. S. With Influencing Japan , L, London. Jan. 17.—(UP)—British officials accused the United States todky of influencing Japan's decision io riecognizp Nationalist China, and the foreign office deplored .the use of “pressure” on ■ British informants said Japanese recognition of the Chinese Nationalists would block all prospects of an armistice in Korea and a general settlement in the Far East because it would enrage the Chinese Communists, j Japanese Premier Shigeru Yoshida's letter to John Foster Dulles, state department treaty expert, announcing that Japan will not recognize the Chinese Reds but hopes to conclude a separate lieace treaty with the Nationalists was an unpleasant surprise to the British foreign office. The Yoshida letter was regarded as a sharp rebufjf to British Far Eastern policy. ; The La,bor government recognized the Chinese Communists ind Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s government has not cancelled the recognition. \ \> Though the foreign office did not mention the United States, officials privately made it clear they believe Yoshida acted under American pressure. Japan is authorized, under the peace treaty, to whether she will recognize the Nationalists or the Comihunists. But the British view is that Japan cannot act until the treaty has been ratified by a majority of the 14 countries represented on the Far Eastern control commission.
