Truman to Attend Demo
Convention in Chicago.
After Candidate is Chosen
• AP Special Washington Service)
Many of the reporters at Abi
lene, Kansas, covering Eisenhow
er’s speech were those who cus
tomarily cover President Tru
man’s news conferences. Truman
held one Thursday, in which ~he
said definitely for the first time
that he will attend the Demo
cratic convention in Chicago. He
had previosly talked somewhat
vaguely of going.
Truman repeated he won’t be
the nominee, however, and said
he wouldn’t show up until the
Democrats have made their choice
of the man to succeed him. '
Asked whether he thought the
victory of Republican Sen. Know
land -in California’s Democratic
primary meant that the people
there are against Democratic for
eign policies, Truman said he was
n’t disturbed. He said the Dem
! ocratic Party overcame difficul
ties in 1948 and he expects it will
do so again.
CAB Decides Against
Civil Airlines’ Conversion
j Knots and Nautical Miles
WASHINGTON, (£>)—'The Civil
Aeronautics Board decided Wed
nesday against ordering civil avi
ation to change over to the meas
urement of speed and distance in
knots and nautical miles.
The board said many elements
of the aviation industry strongly
opposed abandonment of the stat
ute' mile system, to which they
had long been accustomed.
It added that opponents of the
change also held conversion would
be an unnecessary burden and
l would introduce some hazard into
private and commercial air oper
ations.
*
The board had circulated among
the aviation industry for comment
on its April 1 proposal that civil
aviation convert to nautical mile
measurements July 1.
The board based its proposal
on studies conducted by the fed
eral government’s Inter - Agency
Air Coordinating Committee.

ets and thin spots were numerous.
