CThis is the secoiIG of q series of four articles on possible Repub- lican nominees for President) WASHINGTON. = Ohio's unspec- tacular Senator Robert A Taft broke into the select circle of lead ing presidential prospects by steady hammering at New Deal "extrava- gance," a fortnight stand on ma jor issues and a systematic drive for delegates to the Philadelphia convention, June 24.
 Neutral political observers in Washington figure the hard-plug- ging Cincinnati lawyer would make a formidabie-if not flashy-Re- publican standard-bearer.
 Here's a rough appraisal by these observers of Tafts political assets and liabilities:
 Pro-Reputation with business men, big and little, for "sound and sensible" approch to economic problems.
 Con-Attacks on New Deal measures may have alienated large sections of labor vote. (This, of course, probably would apply to other COP. candi- dates9
 Pro-Speciaiist in government finance and tax matters and their effect on business.
 Con Newcomer m national politics; not rated canny poli- tician.
 PrO-PIain common sense" style of speaking that appeals to sober judgment voters.
 Con-Personality lacks glam- our; is no silver-tongued plead- CT.
 PrO--A convention asset will be his good standing with old heads of the party, plus large block of delegates.
 Con If convention decides DeWey's vote-catching ability is indispensable to COP. vic- tory, Taft is out.
 Some liberals in the party re- portedly regard Taft as a little toe conservative and fear Democrat.

 He added that the AFL union, now strengthened by air base con- tracts, now threatens to spread into CIO fisheries. He said that strike of the Maritime Cooks and Stew ards will be called if employers do not sign contracts by June 3O

GUNNERY, NOT POETRY
 If the order comes down to strcamline the academy training, it wont be the first time During the World War, Annapolis was on such schedule, turning out classes at midyear, the classes be- ing known as 1917-A, 1917-B and SO on.
 Army officials say that plans for army expansion will not necessitate any changes at West Point. There, during the World War, however, the officers training course was virtually blitzkrieged; classes being graduated not only at the end of three years, but at the end of two, and one class, pushed out in Mo- vembcr, 1918, had oniy little more than years concentrated school ing. These youngsters, however were returned to the academy later for further training
 Present army increase plans will create a demand for more officers. but reserve officers may be taken on for extended service of from six months to one year.

 the Annapolis post graduate school also have been ordered back to ac- tive duty. A third measure to fill the gaps was taken recently when many officers retired from active duty for physical disability or some such cause were called to the aca- demy to become instructors, re- leasing abler officers for fleet duty.
 One factor which has created the demand has been recondition- ing of a large number of World War destroyers. These are little disparagingly referred to by some of the young navy boys as d bunch of old cans and they arc not to be used for anything at the moment but Atlantic patrol duty, but they have to be officered and manned just as well as the crack ships in the Pacific battle fleet.

the Diesel engine. The tric k is
that Colored Firemen ri not pro-
notable because they cannot be-
come engineers.
Since the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Enginemen and Firemen,
which controls the bargaining
rights on most railway properties
by virtue of the possession of the
majority of the Firemen in the
employ of the carriers, will not ac-
cept Colored Firemen as members
and hence they r deprived of
representation before federal agen
cies regulating the relationships
between carriers and their employ
ees, Colored Firemen face the nee
essity of devising some program
to meet this situation.
To this end, the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, States A.
Philip Randolph, international
President, plans to call a national
conference of Colored Firemen ON
all the railroads throughout the
country that employ them for the
-
purpose of formulating a long
range program of organization
and legislation in the interest of
the relief of this class of Colored
railroad workers from their pres
ent state of job insecurity.
At this conference, Colored Fire
men will tell their own story about
their problems and representative
es of various national organizat-
ions will come to bring their mes
sages of greeting and cooperation
in the fight to save the jobs for
Colored Firemen.
The conference will be held in
Washington, D. C. IL the month of
March, declared Mr.. Randolph at
the headquarters of the Brother
hood in New York City. The spec
ific date and program will be ann

TO HOLD NATL CONFERENCE
OF COLORED FIREMEN

Reports from Colored Firemcn
on railroads in the southeast and
southwest reveal an alarming and
serious state of affairs with res
pect to the continuance of the Col
cred Firemen in the engine cabin.
Many are losing their right of
seniority and are being bumped
and displaced by White Firemen
despite the fact that Colored Fire
men may have 10 or 20 years of
service above that of the White
Firemen.
Regulations by the Interstate
Commerce Commission require
that in the next few years coal
burning engines be equipped with
stokers or replaced by Diesel pow
err. As a result of this change,
and through the organized streng-
tn of the White Firemen definite
confidential understandings have.
and are being developed that pro-
vide for the elimination of the Gel
ored Firemen by various subtle
and devious means-one of which
is that railway carriers shall not
hire firemen to fill vacancies caus

The U-boat can injure shipping and
try to strangle England by cutting
of supplies. But the U-boat can
not challenge the British naval su-
premacy. The undecided question is
whether the Germans yet will OBJ
tain the use of the usable French
fleet.
British shipbuilding plants have
been able to care for the British
naval needs. But British ways cam
not make up the loss of cargo ships
used for Britain. So the British
Ministry OF Shipping has turned to
this country, bringing plan for the
construction of 100 vessels here. The
difficulties in the way of going
ahead with the shipbuilding pro-
gram may be ended by some form
of direct cooperation between the
Federal and the British govern
ments.

Red Cross Withdrawing
Most of Stuff in France
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
American Red Cross officials said
yesterday that most of the organi-
zation's personnel was being with
drawn from France because of the
difficulty of getting supplies.
The original staff of about 80 will
be reduced to three or four, officials
said. Those remaining will be con-
cerned primarily with handling Sc
runs and other medical supplies
which can be procured.
The Red Cross distributed about
s1.000000 worth of food in addition
to clothing and hospital supplies in
France before the British blockade
shut off shipments of food into the
country. With such supplies now
cut off, it is no longer necessary to
maintain a distributing organization
in France, Red Cross spokesmen
said.
Hospital supplies. however, are
passing the blockade and therefore
sufficient personnel to handle these
materials is being retained.

trial as we'll as a military helper to
England. Germany has available not
only the French output, which once
was devoted to helping the Franco
British cause, but also the steel out
put of France. Belgium, Luxem-
bourg. Czecho-Slovakia, Italy and
Poland.
The production of these countries,
plus Germany's own. amounted be-
fore September. 1889. to 42,000,000
ingot tons a year Britain's before
September. 1889, was 100000 ingot
tons a year.
In these simple statistics lies the
story of why England is looking.
overseas. in this direction, for fac
tory help. The steel potential of
the United States is greater even
than Germany's, $4,000 900 to Co.
100000 ingot tons year.
Blockade Halts Supplies.
The German war strength cam
not be measured entirely in terms
of steel. because the subject peo-
pies are not perfect laborers and
blockade of the European continent
conducted by the British Navy keeps
at a low rate of flow the influx of
complementary supplies needed for
into modern battle with full
strength. Some of these goods are
ferro alloys, tin, rubber and oil.
Germany is cut off not only from
many of the world sources of gas
oline, but from lubricating oil as
well. The mechanical legions need
fabrication. 1t is. understood here
that all used lubricating oil in Ger
many is carefully collected and
cleansed for second use.
But the blockade takes ships, and
English ships are subjected to con-
slant danger from mines, torpedoes.
air bombs and enemy ships shells.
England needs steel in quantities to
keep its naval strength supreme in
large ships. in order to keep the
German naval action under water.
