Duff Declines to Run For President in '52

In an informal "off the cuff" talk yesterday to the Young Republicans Club, Senator James H. Duff of Pennsylvania repeated a promise he made that morning to reporters not to be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1952. He spoke to 50 H.Y.R.C. members at a Kaffeklatch in the Dunster Junior Common Room.

Duff, who recently broke the Republican party "machine" in Pennsylvania to become a promising new member of the Senate, was in town for the Middlesex Club's annual Lincoln Day dinner at the Hotel Statler last night.
