TrumanKeepsMumonLushJobOffers
Washington — (U.P.) — President Truman has a briefcase full of offers of lucrative jobs after he leaves the White House next Jan. 20. But so far he has given no indication whether he will accept any of them, White House sources said today.
They said he probably will not announce any decision on his future until at least Jan. 20, and maybe not for several months later.
Roger Tubby, acting White House Press secretary, said that all Mr. Truman will tell his aides now about his future plans is that he is not yet ready to talk about them.
Some of Mr. Truman's White House staff have gotten the impression, however, that he intends to go back to his home at Independence, Mo., for a few months after leaving office before deciding what non-government job, if any, he will accept.
Recent White House visitors have related that Mr. Truman expressed interest in taking a world trip and in lecturing and writing about world government in an effort to advance the cause of world peace. But his spokesmen repeatedly have said that there was nothing definite about his plans for either venture.
Augusta, Ga—(U.P.) —A general strike threatened today to halt operations completely for the second time this week at the Atomic Energy commission's huge hydrogen bomb plant at nearby Aiken, S. C.
Mr. Truman began to receive job offers from private concerns shortly after he announced last March he
Strike Threatens H-Bomb Plant
Management officials indicated last night they could not accept a union proposal to solve the labor dispute which kept some 29,000 workers from their jobs at the government project Monday.
Union heads have threatened to reinstate picket lines if the company does not accept the union's settlement proposal.
The strike-threatened plant, a billion-dollar government defense project, is located just 20 miles from the National Golf club here where President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower is spending a post-election vacation.
The dispute arose when the Miller Electric company, of Jacksonville, Fla., sub-contractor at the plant, discharged six employees recently, all members of the American Federation of Technical Engineers (AFL).
The union claimed they were fired for union organizing activity. The company said it was a routine reduction in force.
would not accept nomination for re-election.
White House aides said all the letters have been acknowledged. The replies uniformly thanked the job-offersers for their interest and told them that Mr. Truman would not make up his mind until he left office.
The White House would not divulge details of any of the job offers.
However, the highest offer, salary-
wise, was believed to have come from the Resistol Hat company, of Garland, Tex. Its president, Harry Rollnick, has told reporters that he offered Mr. Truman a salary of $250,000 a year, plus travel expenses, to serve as the firm's vice president in charge of road sales.
The President is also reported to have received several job offers from newspaper publishers and syndicates, either for his memoirs or for a syndicated column.

Two GOP Senators Predict Unchanged Aid, Defense
Washington—(U.P.)Two Republican senators predicted today the 83rd Congress will support present U.S. defense and foreign aid programs.
But they agreed, in separate interviews, that the GOP-controlled House and Senate will take a "hard look" at the cost of these programs, and try to effect economies.
Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), a ranking member of the foreign relations and atomic energy committees, put it this way:
"The two major problems which the new Republican majority in Congress will face are those of the military budget and foreign aid. I doubt that there will be much questioning on such basic issues as building up American military strength, participation in the North Atlantic pact, or military aid for allies abroad.
"But there will be plenty of questions as to whether we are getting our money's worth in our own rearmament and our efforts to aid others. The extent to which our allies are producing, the extent of their cooperation and determination will be important. Likewise, possible savings in our own military program will be uppermost in our minds."
Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky), beginning a second term in the senate, admitted that there "prob-degree" of foreign aid spending ably" will be a good many differences among Republicans on the But, like Sen. Hickenlooper, he predicted Republican unity in support of "basic programs."
Sen. Cooper emphasized that one new factor will tend to hold Republican together on foreign policy matters—the presence of a Republican President in the White House.
"The President wields an influence or unity which just isn't felt by a political party when it is in a minority," he said.
Fuehrer' Scares U.S. Embassy
