Taft Announces
Himself Candidate
GOP Nomination
WASHINGTON, (/P)— Senator
Taft announced Tuesday he is a
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
“I am going to run because I
believe I can conduct the only
kind of campaign which will elect
a Republican to office,” the sen
ator told a crowded press con
ference.
Taft issued three carefully pre
pared statements to more than
100 newsmen, photographers and
others who filled the large com
mittee room used by Republican
senators.
The longest statement said he
would enter the Wisconsin presi
dential primary and also accept
the bid of Ohio delegates to the
nominating convention next year.
Senator Bricker, Taft’s Repub
lican colleague from Ohio, said
that the announcement would
give him a definite advantage.
►
Ready to take issue with Taft
supporters on that point were
backers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower, who so far has kept pub
licly silent on whether he will
seek the GOP nomination next
I
year.
But his supporters say they
have no doubt he will be avail
able and will make his announce
ment when he completes his in
definite assignment as supreme
commander of the North Atlantic
defense forces in Europe.
No other candidate of either
major party has thrown his hat
in the 1952 presidential ring. The
Democrats are expected to remain
silent until President Truman
makes known his decision.
Taft yesterday announced that
he would not comment “on other
possible candidates for the Re
publican nomination.”
He hit at ‘‘smearing tactics” of
some organizations and singled
out one in California for ‘‘making
wholly unjustified attacks on
Governor Warren and General
Eisenhower.”
Wind can blow the path of a
continuing electrical discharge as
much as 30 feet under certain
conditions.

Boycott Unloading

NEW YORK, (JF) — The AFL j
International Longshoremen’s As
sociation (ILA> has warned ship
ping companies that their vessels
will be delayed for long periods ;
if stevedores detect Russian car
* I
goes.
ILA president Joseph P. Ryan j
says the shippers must clearly
label the country of origin on all j
packages, or longshoremen will I
insist that the parcels be opened. I
He adds that unlabelled pack
ages coming from Sweden will be
viewed suspiciously.
Ryan acted Friday -after the
ILA claimed that it had uncov
ered a large amount of Russian j
goods, especially furs, slipping
through the union’s boycott here
and in other Atlantic ports.
Goods from Russia are shipped
to Sweden, Ryan s-aid, and then
are re-wrapped before being
loaded on America-bound vessels.
The ILA voted its ban on handl
ing Soviet goods a year ago, but
there is no legal United States
government restriction against im
porting such merchandise.
