Taft To Discuss
U. S. Foreign And
Domestic Issues
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
Taft of Ohio called yesterday for
a “frank discussion” by his fellow
Republicans of domestic and for
eign issues.
The Ohio Senator, scheduled to
receive his state’s “favorite son”
endorsement for the GOP Presi
dential nomination at Columbus
Thursday, said lie plans to gear
down during his western trip in
September on issues likely to
arise before the next session of
Congress.
“I plan to talk about the issues
before the country,” including the
Marshall plan for economic aid for
Europe,” Taft told a reporter.
“Before Congress meets again
(in January*, I think all of these
matters should be freely discussed
throughout the country, particu
larly by Republicans.”
Although they declined to link
it in any way to any other poten
tial Presidential candidate*' his
statement was interpreted imme
diately as a challenge to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
to speak out.
On his own western trip Dewey
remained silent on major politi
cal development. He declined to
discuss his views on the new Taft
Hartley labor act and refused to
comment on the Marshall .plan
after secretary of state Marshall
explained it to the governors con
ference at Salt Lake City.
Friends said Taft hopes to em
phasize on a tour of California,
Neva da, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and possibly Wyoming, that
he is willing to state his stand on
every domestic and international
issue of importance.

dent Roosevelt caused top navy
officials to “reverse” themselves.
“It got an order for one hun
dred air carriers,” he said. “All
hell broke loose. They did not
want aircraft carriers. They want
ed destroyers. I told them I could
not build destroyers. Finally they
cancelled orders for fifty.”
Kaiser said the navy did not
want to call his ships “aircraft
carriers” and at first “wanted to
give them to the British” but fi
nally “turned the heat of Hell on
us to produce more of them.”
“The navy reversed itself,” he
continued. “It was wonderful. Ad
miral King came in and said he
wanted to help.”
Admiral Ernest King was chief
of naval operations and command
er in chief of the navy at the time.
At the outset of the hearing,
Kaiser protested there has been a
“smear campaign’ against him.
