Republicans Urged
Bring Candidates
c1
Out In Open
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Pressure
built up behind potential Repub
lican presidential -aspirants, to
bring their candidacy out into the
open.
Friends were reported urging
Harold E. Stassen, former gover
nor of Minnesota and now presi
dent of the University of Pennsyl
vania, to announce his candidacy
before Jan. 1.
Senator Morse (R-Ore) said if
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is
going to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination he should
say so immediately.
Politicians generally credited
the early entry of Senator Robert
A. Taft of Ohio into the Republi
can race with the early pressure
being brought to bear on other
potential candidates. Thus far,
only Gov. Earl Warren of Cali
fornia, the 1948 vice presidential
nominee, officially had entered
the list against Taft.

However, associates saiu uie.y
believed Stassen soon will throw
his hat into the ring, without re
gard to any decision that may be
made by Eisenhower. Eisenhower
has not publicly said whether he
would be availabe for any presi
dential nomination.
Morse told reporters he couldn’t
say now whether he would sup
f port either Taft or Stassen if
Eisenhower isn’t available for the
GOP nomination. The Oregon sen
ator said he backs the general for
the party’s standard bearer.
Asked if he would support any
Republican nominee, whomever
he might be, the Oregon senator
answered:
“Oh no. I’m not an intellectual
crook.”
Despite his obvious opposition
to Taft, Morse said he thinks the
Ohio senator has a “very good”
chance of getting the Republican
nomination.
Admitted to the hospital: M.
Matongock, Aurora Escholtz, and
Ed Kunoktock.
Discharged: Andrew Milligruk
and Joe Roth.

Hours, Frees Self
Using Auto Jacks
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P)—Trap
ped almost five hours in icy ocean
waters, William Wood directed his
own rescue from one of his closest
scrapes in years of deepsea diving.
The 43-year-old Wood worked
t
i two ordinary auto jacks to lift
iron bars that pinned him to the
wreckage of a sunken barge near
the Golden Gate.
Searchlights were played on the
scene and scores watched from
shore as Weed was lifted aboard
his ship, the Salvager.
He was found suffering only
from shock and exposure.
He told reporters he had started
salvage operations he thought
might net him “some money for
Christmas” for his wife and two
! daughters in Santa Barbara, Cal.
I He was seeking to recover brass
and copper from a barge that sank
i years ago.
About 2:30 p.m., the tide pushed
iron bars over him and pinned his
legs and feet. Wood was wearing
full divers’ equipment. He was 25
feet below the surface.
After an hour’s struggle, he
phoned the Salvager crew to send
distress signals.
The Coast Guard brought the
eight-pound jacks. They were
lowered according to instructions
I from Wood. After hours of care
ful .maneuvering, Wood dislodged
the bars.
“This is one of the closest
scrapes I’ve ever had,” he said
afterwards.
