Taft To Make Trip
To Test Presiden
tial Possibilities
■
(By Jack Ball)
WASHINGTON, (/P)— Senator
Taft said today he will make a
western speaking trip to test reac-!
tion to the Republican-controlled j
Congress before he decides finally
whether to seek the 1948 GOP!
Presidential nomination.
The Ohio Senator will discuss
, Congress’ record when ' e makes
' the principal address a. a home
i coming dinner for Ohio Senate
! and House Republicans to be
given by the party’s state commit
tee at Columbus July 31.
This is looked upon in some
quarters as the start of a Taft-for
President campaign inasmuch as
a national radio hookup will be
provided.
In fact, most Ohio politicians
expect the state committee to en
dorse Taft formally as the state’s
favorite son a week or so later,
with Senator Bricker simultane
ously backing out of the race in i
favor of his senior colleagues. I
Such a committee move would put]
Taft in the Presidential contest
automatically.
Su: Taf: :o’.d a reporter that he!
io«r*.h want to make any person
xl. iecj;oo until he has gone west
September after an August va
~it.cn in Canada.
Thus far the Ohio Senator has
three definite speaking dates on
the Pacific Coast, one of them
non-political. He said he will ap
pear with some other members of
Congress on a discussion panel of
the American Bar Association
meeting in Santa Cruz, Calif.,
Sept. 12 and 13.
On Sept. 19, he will speak in
San Francisco before the Com
monwealth Club, an organizationj
the late Wendell L. Willkie used
as a springboard for his 1940
Presidential campaign.
From there Taft will go to I
Gearhart, Ore., to address the Re- i
publican clubs of that state. He
said he had received “numerous
invitations” for talks on the re
turn trip and may accept engage
ments in Idaho, Wyoming, Nebras
ka and other states.

House Bans Excise
Tax On Jewelry
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
House passed unanimously and
sent to the Senate yesterday a bill
exempting from* the 20 per cent
excise tax on jewelry any article
of jewelry selling for less than
$25.
On motion of Rep. Forand <D.
R. I.), the jewelry purchase ex
emption was written into a bill

ment by the week end, will act on
the legislation.

LONDON 0T»)—‘The government
let it be known today that Prin
cess Elizabeth and Lieut. Philip
Mountbatten will be married in a
big public ceremony after all.
Spiking speculation that the
wedding would have to be a small,
semi-private affair because of the
nation’s poverty, a high govern
ment source said it was now def
initely known that the ceremony
would be in Westminster Abbey
and “certainly won’t be on auster
ity lines.”
The source added that the royal
family and the government now
were “more strongly than ever” in
favor of October as the wedding
time.
