Taft Looking
Like a Candidate
Takes Labor Post In New Senate
By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec, 24.—Despite disclaimers, Senator Robert A. Taft (R, O.) looked more and more today like a man who had an eye on the 1948 Republican presidential nomination. His decision to take the chairmanship of the senate labor committee in, the new congress, rather than the senate finance committee, contributed to the belief that Mr. Taft had given more than passing thought to presidential politics, Mr, Taft further bolstered that belief last night when he said the time was near for a decision on whom Ohio Republicans will support for the 1948 nomination. The favorite sons are Mr, Taft and Sen-ator-Elect John W, Bricker, Although he refrained from calling himself a candidate, Mr. Taft said he and Mr. Bricker would “sit down and decide this matter.” Ohio at Disadvantage Ohio Republicans are no less anxious than Mr. Taft or Mr. Bricker to decide the 1948 candidate. There is an old political saying that you can’t beat somebody with nobody. The backers of Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York can go to

Destructive waves of this kind
are always started by submarine earthquakes. However, not all such earth-
quakes start waves. Just what kind of sea-bottom disturbances needed to start one is still a matter of debate among scientists. Many of them hold that a vertical drop of a considerable sector of crustal rock is involved, rather than the grinding sidewise shear and shift of rocks past each other, such as was the cause of the San
party leaders in other states and seek delegate support for their candidate. The supporters of former Governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota can do the same. But as of now when Ohio politicians talk to Republicans in other states all they can say is that Ohio will have a candidate for the nomination, but has not decided just who it will be, That is pretty poor bait,
Franc earthquake of 1906. The force reported for thisearthquake puts it in a class with the biggest. Only two of similar force have been reported in recent years: One in mid-Atlantic in 1941, the other in Peru in 1942, Seismologists of the U, 8 coast and geodetic survey here , however, reserving judgment ‘on the claim that this is the worst earthquake in recorded history, at least until more data come in. They do state that the present quake and the sea waves it generated seem to be similar to the disaster that struck Japan in 1943. Waves of this kind are familiar enough to the Japanese to be given a special name: “Tsunami.” There is no good English equiva~lent. The most frequently used name, tidal wave, is a misnomer, because these earthquake-gefierated waves have nothing to do with the

British Propose Malay Federation
SINGAPORE, Dec. 24 (U, P.).—~ British officials revealed prdbosals today to replace the Malayan union —a league of native sultanates governing the Malay peninsulg—with a new “Federation of Malaya.” The federation would include nine Malay states and the settlements at Penang and Malacca, but would not affect Singapore, they said. A working committee of Malayan sultans, Malayan nationals and British governmental representatives drafted plans for the new federation. They met in response to bitter opposition to the Malayan union from the sultans, who claimed they had been strong-armed into joining it. Opposition also is expected from the Chinese who comprise more than half of Malaya's population, but who would get only six of 23 seats in the federal legislative coun= cil.
