Takes on Appearance
OF Candidate Tour
Senator's Friends, Foes
Are Convinced He Is
Presidential Aspiront
By Gould Lincoln

Senator Taft's coming invasion
of the Pacific Coast and Noun
tain States, starting September
IL, is taking on all the accoutre-
ments and semblance of presi-
Dental candidates tour.
The Ohio Senator said in Colum-
bus few weeks ago he would re-
serve any definite declaration re-
garding his political plans until
after he had made this Western trip.
That he not only will be a candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, but is today a candi-
date, is the firm opinion of both his
friends and his opponents,
Republican members OF Congress
who have returned to Washington
from the West since the vacation
period began for the legislators
Yesterday expressed confidence that
Senator Taft would receive consider
able support from that section Of
the country. His projected tour, 1t
is believed, will do much to increase
and cement sentiment favorable to
his candidacy.
Senator Taft's first address will
be at Santa Cruz. Calf, to the Cali
fornis Bar Association on Septem-
Der. IL. On September Is he will
visit an aunt in San Diego. and on
September is, he will speak in Los
Angeles.
September II and 10 will be spent
visiting Hoover Dam and other
power projects. and on September
10 he will speak to the Common
wealth Club in San Francisco.
The Ohio Senator and his party
will be in Reno, New, September 20,
where he will make speech. and
the 21st he will visit Lake Tahoe on
the border of Nevada and Califor-
MIA.
His next address will be before the
Rotary Club in Seattle, Wash. An
important address, dealing with
American foreign policy, is scheduled
for September Is, in Tacoma, Wash,
before the World Affairs Council.
He is to speak to gathering of
Republican clubs in Gearhart. Greg,
September 26, and he will visit
Portland the next day. He will go
to Moscow, Idaho. Sept. % and will
be in Boise, September %. Octo-
Der l. he is slated to deliver an
address in Cheyenne. Wyo., and in
Omaha Neb. October q He returns
to his home, Cincinnati. October 3.
Accompanying Mr.. Taft on his
travels will be about IS newspaper,
press association and magazine writ
ers. This is almost as large a num-
Der of correspondents as ordinarily
travels with presidential candidate
after he has been nominated.
Senator Taft, who is now vacation
ing at Murray Bay. Quebec, will 60
to California direct from there,
travelling through Canada.

British Still Hope 10 Get
SIayers Of I Sergeants


JERUSALEM, Aug. 23-W. N
Gray, Palestine's police inspector
general, told a news conference to-
day that a number of persons
had been arrested in connection
with the reprisal executions" OF
British Sergts. Clifford Martin and
Mervyn PAIGE but that little progress
had been made in solving the case.
Sergts Martin and PAIGE were
kidnapped as hostages by Irgun zvai
Leumi, Jewish underground resist
ance group, for three Irgun men,
bers who were executed. The bodies
were found swinging at the end OF
nooses in a grove near Natanya
three weeks ago and were mangled
by the explosion of a BOBBY trap
when they were cut down.
The efforts of police are much
hampered by lack of assistance from
the public" Inspector Gray said
However, the police hope to be
able yet to bring the perpetrators OF
this crime to book"

In many states, such offenses against
children are considered felonies
punished by long prison terms.
Arrest Is Difficult.
Capt. Milliken said she believed
all indecent acts jepordizing chill
dren should come under a basic
statute, which also would contain
a provision enabling the court to
require psychiatric treatment.
1t. Murphy emphasized the diff
ficuity of arresting offenders as long
as they can be charged with nothing
more than a misdemeanor. Unless
police witness an offense of this
kind, they cannot make an arrest
without warrant.
The statute Mr.. Fay is preparing
would make these offenses felony
and enable policemen to make ar
rests on probable grounds that a
felony has been committed.
DR.. Overholser, who also favors
strong statute accompanied by pro-
vision for psychiatric examinations,
has emphasized that many of these
offenders are potentially dangerous
persons who should not be permitted
to remain at large where they can
prey on children.
Judge Denies Probati
Judge John P. Mcmahon ex-
pressed the same view in Municipal
Court yesterday when he refused
to grant probation for a convicted
sex offender with the comment, Il
don't believe in that kind of ham
ding for cases like these"
James Luther Tinsley, 81, Public
Health Service clerk, was refused
probation after he was found guilty
of indecent exposure. Bond was set
at 5000 pending sentencing tomor-
row.
Judge Mcmahon later told re-
porters he feels the second chance
which probation provides an Of

the offender remains at large.

No Official Comment.
There was no official comment
on the Athens governments crisis.
Lacking official reporrs\ of the
Greek developments and uncertain
over its immediate impact on the
guerrilla warfare there, State De-
partment officials adopted formal
wait-and-see attitude.
But. privately, those directly con-
cerned with administering the
Greek relief and economic aid pro-
gram found considerable grounds
for qualified optimism based chiefly
on the possibility of obtaining
sounder Greek government economy
This much appeared certain:
/. The United States will take nc
direct hand in the formation of the
new government beyond insisting
that it have broad representative
base
The hope in official quarters is
that the new government will not
be so preponderantly conservative
as the past government. This hope
is based upon belief shat only by
giving left wing elements greater
say in government affairs can the
civil strife be ended.
Assistance Will Continue.
2. American assistance - barring
some unanticipated Development
will continue under the Greek
Turkish aid program. The State
Department announced Friday that
s18.000,000 worth of supplies are en-
route to Greece Gin line with the
