Admiral 7oussig Dies at 10;
Rebuked on War Prediction
Outstanding Officer
Censured by Navy
After Warning of Jops

Vice Admiral Joseph Knefier
Taussig, sr., 10, who predicted the
war with Japan but was rebuked by
the Navy because of it, died late
yesterday at the Bethesda Naval
Hospital Of heart ailment.
Admiral Taussig, son of a naval
oficer and father of another, entered
the hospital October IL. He had
also been patient there q month
earlier.
Sometimes referred to as "the
Navy's Billy Mitchell" he was round
ly censured by Navy officials and
Senators alike in 1910 when he told
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
We need be under no illusions as
to the aims and policies Of Japan"
Rebuked by Stark.
After advocating at the same
hearing the continual presence of a
strong scouting feet in the Philip
pines and the strong fortification of
Guam. he was criticized by Admiral
Harold r. Stark, then chief of naval
operations, for stating ideas con
trary" to the Navy Departments
views.
AT the conclusion OF Admiral
Taussig's testimony, Senator Ben
nett Champ Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri called for a court martial
OF the Navy veteran, but it was
never convened.
Although his long career in the
Navy was studded with commenda-
tions and decorations, Admiral
laussig, who retired early in 194l.
was not recalled to duty after Pearl
Harbor. In 1943, he was called to
serve as head of the Navy's Glenn
ency Board here. He retired
second time in April.
Born in Germany.
Born in Dresden, Germany, the
son OF the late Admiral Edward
David Taussig, who was stationed
there, and the late Ellen Knefler
Tausslg, he attended Western High
School and entered the Naval
Academy In 1895. Graduated
year early because OF the Spanish
American War, he was sent to
Cuban waters and participated in
the battle of Santiago.
In that war, Admiral Taussig's
father rounded out a naval career
which started when he entered the
academy at the age of IS. The de-
stroyer Taussig, launched in 1914,
was named for Admiral Edward
Taussig, who claimed Wake Island
for the United States in 1899.
Sent to China in 1900, Admiral
Taussig was commended and ad-
vanced four numbers in grade for
conspicuous conduct in battle" dur
ing the Boxer Rebellion. 1t was
here he suffered a fractured right
thigh bone, the same type of wound
received by his son, Ensign Joseph
K. Taussig, jr.. at Pearl Harbor.
Was Friend of Jellicoe.
While recuperating in China, Ad-
miral Taussig became a good friend
of a wounded captain in the British
Navy named Jellicoe. The two met
again during World War I, when

FAIR ACTION BY SENATORS

majority of 10 Territorial Senators acted yes terday in all fairness in granting Senator Engebreth the right to reconsider his vote the administrator general bill The trouble began last Friday when Senator Engebreth violated the rules of the Senate by giving notice of his intention to reconsider his vote on the bill before making motion to ask the House. which already had the measure, to return It.
 Obviously Senator Engebreth lacked enough votes to carry such motion and would have been denied his usual right of reconsideration However yesterday the ma ory of the Senate declined to deny the junior Senator from the Third Division that righ thereby sacrificing the emergency clause on the bill
 Should the bill pass the House and receive the approval of the Governor, the emergency clause, which would have made the bill law upon approval, probably would have resulted in great deal of con- fusion If the bill does become law now it will only become law 90 days after has been signed by the Governor allowing a period for establishing the changes which proposed.

 Within three years the German people should become economically unified and self sui ficient, requiring no more loans or food from the USA
 Palestine - The Onited States must be more cautious regarding Palestine now that Britain has agreed to lay this problem in the United Nations lap Instead of giving advice regarding Palestine, the USA will now have to act.
 European Relief Food continues to be the greatest stabilizing in- fluence in the world and the United States must continue to feed the world-perhaps for scme years to come.
 China-"I am somewhat Gisil- lusioned about the Chinese situa- tion,' Marshall commented. He spent more time on this subject than any other, remarking with a laugh that he felt more at home when talking about China. His off the-record discussion, however, in- cluded little he had not already stated publicly.

nous plea for economy with cautious T don't know whether believe they're right not
 Nobody is better acquainted with the makeup of
 the defense budget ill general or in particular than members of Congress the appropriations commit tees of the two houses. Nobody has better oppor- tuny study with intelligence the detailed figures provided by the budget in distinction to the budget message It is the counsel of tnidity for such men, with their years of experience with budget making, to lean on the word of those who for obvious cannot back up their assertions with their names. It may be that the merger of the armed forces will provide opportunity to save important amount of money and that other economies be effected but it will be done by those who accept manfully the re- sponsbiiity that falls upon the majority party in Congress.

 On top of this the two Nevada Senators are trying to go even fur ther, and lift export controls on hides altogether. If this is done the price of some types of shoes will go even higher than the pre- sent record level.
 Note-It was heavy contributions by Nevada cattle ranchers which largely helped elect McCarran in the Nevada primary two years ago And it was similar contributions which put Republican Senator Ma lone ahead of Democratic Con gressman Berkeley Bunker last November.

Allen Dulles and his brother, John Foster Dulles, of the New York law firm of Sulli- van and Cromwell, have been re- tained by Eric Johnston's Motion Picture Association as advisers for the Geneva International Trade Conference in April. The Ma tional Gallery of Art is due for a going by the House Commit tee on Expenditures. The Con gressmen want to know why 119 guards, 53 laborers, 27 electricians and engineers and 10 secretaries and clerks are needed Major reason would-be purchasers can not get l6-mm. movie projectors is that the Army Signal Corps is still buying all it can find The Signal Corps bought 25,000 of these projectors during the war but now, 19 months later, still has 5000 on order and is preparing to ask for bids on another 1900 So lar no full accounting of enemy oc- cupation costs has yet been made available. by the Army, Brass hats are trembling for fear economy minded Republicans will demand a full accounting.

 Jonkman said he and several oth- CT Committee members planned a showdown with PeurLoy on the Red issue.
 New Works former Comm.rtee Chairman Sol Bloom then showed several questions at the Secretary of State on Palestine. but Mar shall backed away He said he would stand on what he had al ready said. .Minnesota's Walter Judd, himself an expert on China, then prepared to level a barage at Marshall on Far Eastern mat ters, but was frustrated as the bell called Congressmen to their noon day session.
 During his talk, Marshall re- marked that boning up on Ameri- cas- foreign policy was the tough est job he'd had in years The min- ute you think you know situa- tion cold, he explained, something else is added, thereby changing the situation completely. He said he still didn't know all the an- swers, but would continue study ing until he learned them.
 AS the meeting broke up Com mittee Chairman Eaton of New Jersey pointed out that many Con- gressmen still had unanswered questions, and asked the Secretary of State if he would return for a further discussion. Marshall said he would try to make it, but care fully leit himself a loophole by pointing out the pressure he's un- der to prepare for the German treaty negotiations in Moscow

New Uses For
Farm Products
Sought By Negro

John e. Hodge, research chem
list, Is making a significant con-
tribution to the intensive search
for new industrial uses for farm
products which is being carried
out at the U. s. Department of
Agriculture's Northern Regional
Research Laboratory, Peoria, H.,
says DR.. l.. B. Howard, chief of
the Bureau of Agricultural and
Industrial Chemistry.
Mr.. Hodge who has been en-
ployed in the laboratory since
1871, Is engaged in starch re.
search which may lead to the de-
yelopment of more durable lac
Quers and yarnishes, synthetic fl
hers, and products similar to
celophane.
c. p. Rist acting head Of the
Starch and DcXtrose division OF
the BAlC laboratory, reports that
Mr. Hodge has made major con
tributions to the knowledge OF
the preparation Of complex starch
derivatives. He points ont that
the young chemist has developed
procedure for preparing these de-
rivatiyes which has enabled him
to succeed in solving the diff.
cult problem OF separating the
constituents OF trimethyl starch
something that had never been
achieved before. The results Of
this research will be published in
scientific journals.
Mr.. Rist explains that thor.
ough knowledge Of the chemical
structure Of starch, such as Mr.
Hodges work has made avail.
able, is necessary in order to dc.
termine the Industrial uses that
may be made OF IT, He says that
the new lacquers and yarnishes
that may probably be developed
from starch offer the possibility
OF increasing considerably the
life OF furniture coated with
them.
Mr. Hodge. who Is considered
one Of the most valuable research
chemists In his division, received
his A. r and bis NJ. 9. degree
from the University Of Kansas.
