 WAS SUCCESS
Will Confer with Aide Be- fore Announcing Future
 Political Course

ENROUTE WITH TAFT, Oct. 3 -tR-4Senator Robert A. Taft head ed home for Ohio today, satisfied he has succeeded in dramatlzlng to the west the record of the Re- publican Congress but still publicly undecided about the personal poli- tical results involved.
 Capping a l2,000-mile stumping tour with a stinging attack in Cas- per, Wyo., on President Trumans Democratic administration, Taft set cut by train for Cincinnati and conferences with Rep. Clarence Brown (R-Ohio) which will de- termine the Ohio Senator's future political course.
 Brown, as campaign manager for Taft in the latters role as Ohio s "favorite son. has been canvass ing the rest of the country while Taft was making appearances in Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Wash ington, Oregon and California.
 What Brown has to report, plus what Taft has learned at first hand, is expected to add up to a formal announcement soon that the Ohio Senator will seek the 194S Republican Presidential nomi- nation.
 With this objective obviously in mind, Taft already has laid the foundation for a vigorous attack on the Democratic administration He also has written in speeches what friends says IS the frame work of a Republican program oi his own.

ARMY DENIES CONDITIONS
 IN ITALY BAD
Admits Errors" But Lab. els Columnist Ruark's
 Charges Erroneous

w oAN, OtVs eif The Army high command today acknowledged errors" in the Ital- ian theatre command, but labeled as wholly erroneous picture a Scripps- Howard columnist's charg- es of mistreatment of enlisted men and high-living by officers under It. Gen. John c. H. Lee.
 Making public the results of an investigation touched off by writ CT Robert c. Ruark's charges, the Army released:
 CD A 12,000 word report from Maj. Gen. Ira T. Wyche, Army Inspector General, who said he found only minor discrepancies and irregularities (2) a memor- andum from Gen. Dwight D. Eis- enhower, Chief of Staff, and (3) a memorandum from Secretary of the Army Kenneth c. Royal ap- proving Wyche's report.
 Ruark, whose original articles were published last summer, is sued the following statement in New York:
 T have seen the Army's report of it's investigation of my charges against It. Gen. J. c. H. Lee, and l intend to study the report thoroughly before replying. Ill my own good time I will have the nec- essary answer to the Armys find ings in the case"
 In brief, Wyche's report was that the matters Ruark complained about were, when true, isolated instances. He said Ruark took a few facts, half facts, rumors and untruths which he accepted as facts, and nodded them into ar ticles that carry implications of gross maladministration of the theatre by General Lee and his staff."
 Eisenhower, commenting on the errors uncovered, singled out undue pressure" by commanders on subordinates to join fraternal organizations, unsatisfactory con- ditions in the disciplinary camp and "neglectful conduct" occasion- ally by some officers in requiring chauffeurs to wait unconscion- ably long hours to suit the social convenience of the officers.
 He called it serious mistake that minor offenders were locked up where they could have contact with major criminals and said "an active day of IT hours for prls- oners did not conform to his con victions of what is proper.
 Both Eisenhower and Royal agreed that no action is called for beyond what has been taken-call- ing the attention of the Command to the finding by Wyche.
 Eisenhower added:
 T am impelled to remark that, in a position of grave responslbll- ity and one in which the delicate and critical interests of the United States were involved day by day General Lee has performed a ser vice to his country which has won the appreciation of associates both civilian and military, not only ol our own country, but of those at tempting to work with us z
 Royal called Wyche's investlga- ton thorough, fair and judicial. He said the substance of the re- port is corroborated not only by the American Ambassador and the British commanders in Italy, but also generally by members of the press who for considerable per iod of time have had a wide op- portunity to otserve the condl- tions in the theatre"
 Wyche's report on his inspection of the Italian command said he found only "a few isolated cases of maladministration and probable miscarriages of justice, none Of which were condoned and foster eu by Gen. Lee"

WASHINGTON
 STATE PROBE
 GOES DEEPER
Witnesses I ell of Special Costs Necessary 10 Get
 Liquor Licenses

, SPOKANE, Oct. 3-lR-A State
 Senate Committee dug deeper to- day in it's probe of private liquor and slot machine clubs after hear
 ing witness testify yesterday that S5,000 fee for licensing a Spokane club would include a $2000 dona- i tion to the Capitol Club of Olym- ! pia.
 The witness, Horton Herman, at ! torney for the Wandermere Golf and Country Club, said that after an early application for a license was turned down because of in sufficient community necessity he was told it would be necessary to go tn tough Edward J. Reilly, Levy Johnson of Olympia or a man by the name of Heil in Seattle"
 Reilly, 8 Spokane attorney, and Johnson both are former Demo- cratic State Representatives. John son is former member of the prosecuting attorneys office in Thurston County.
 Herman said when he later saw Johnson he was told that it pro- bably would take 5000 to get a | license.
 He said I'd get $500 and he'd get $500 and $2,000 would go to the Capitol Club Herman testi- fled.
 T asked him what the Capitol Club was and how it operated. He said of course you know it costs
 money for the governor to be in Washington (D.C9 he's only al- lowed S6 a day when he's out of the state Now he's in Washington try ing to do something for the people Of this state. He's planning a gov ernors conference on Vashon Island and that costs money" Herman said Wandermere did not have that kind of money" and that later when he went to Olym- l pia and talked to member of the Liquor Control Board, it was sug- gested that he resubmit the appli- cation. It was granted, he said, without any such payment. i Capitol Club finances were the subject of a Republican-dire i probe during the legislative ses-
 sion when COP members charged i that State employees were under 1 pressure to subscribe to the club funds and that they were used for political purposes.

than adding to the intiationary
pressure"
Regarding large expenditures for
veterans, the Committee believes
that payments totalling a billion
dollars In the past year for vet.
erans' unemployment allowances at
time OF widespread labor short
ages calls for reexamination Of Leg
islation and administrative policies
under which the payments were
made. Similarly, the fact that two.
thirds Of the. cases being treated In
veterans hospitals represent non.
service disabilities raises q ques.
tion Of major policy.
Cutting the budget. the COM
mittee concludes. "is essentially
political as well as an economic
problem. Success will depend on
the reaction of the people. Every
cut in the budget hurts or incon-
veniences someone or some group.
