Asks Ex-Presidents Be Made Senators
. WASHINGTON, July 14 (U, P)).— Senator Owen Brewster (R. Me.) said” today that he will introduce a bill today to make ex-presidents of the United States senators-at-large. He said the act would apply to all former and future presidents who had left office “gther than by impeachment.” Such senators would have all the rights, privileges and allowances as other senate members, except the right to vote. Herbert Hoover, a. Republican, is

But he gave a pretty good summary of his own tax views late yesterday at & press conference. Urges Tax ‘Horsetrade’ Governor Dewey” then suggested that the federal government take over exclusive control of personal income taxes and leave the socalled “nuisance” taxes to the states.
‘Nuisance taxes are the ones like {
those imposed on theater and prize fight tickets, = = The New York executive saitl such
o revision might take some “horse:
trading.” But he said it was necessary because the present federalstate taxation systems are in such a muddle that they're “nearly chaotic.”
Governor Dewey said, he'd be against giving the states back any of this revenue. He explained that he’s. “opposed to making one government the collection agency and the other the spending agency—it only leads to greater irresponsibility snd corruption.” Seek Dewey Slowdown
A move to slow down Governor Dewey's drive for the Republican tial nomination popped up unexpectedly today at ‘the confer-
ence.
The surprise move was instigated by supporters of various “favorite candidates, with Governor James Duff of Pennsylvania taking the lead. Governor Duff warned Republican “leaders - against selectfrig a presidential nominee “so far in advance of our national conven-
son”
tion.”
* “We don't want the party’s mind
made up before the convention,”
the Pennsylvania governor said. “We
want a wide open field at that time
We will do everything to keep -it
open.”
Pennsylvania, with 77 convention votes, is reportedly ready to advance U. 8. Senator Edward Martin as its “favorite son,” although there has been talk of Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower. Some Talk of Eisenhowl
Governor Thomas J.- Herbert of
Ohio indicated he supported Duff’
thinking. He said no one candi-|-date “has a commanding lead at this time and there will be many favorite son candidates presented
at the convention.” X “Ohio will be for Senator (Rob
ert) Taft,” Governor Herbert said. “He has been agreed on as our fa-
vorite son.” Illinois ‘Wide Open’
Governor Dwight Green of Illinois, another prospective “favorite son” candidate, said his state was wide open. Most Republican lead-
ers give Taft an edge in Illinois,
Governor Alfred J. Driscoll of
New Jersey, said “we are too bus;
with loca) issues to talk presidential
candidates.”
Governor Earl Warren of California, continued to play a “mys-
terious” role. Mr. Warren has bee
