bri(ker
 For Taff
 He5ays

COLUMBUS, O., July 3O.-tR- Senator Bricker (R-Ohio) today came out unqualifiedly for his senior colleague, Senator Taft (R- Ohio), for the Republican presi- dential nomination in 1948.
 Bricker told a news conference he had promised Taft to do all he could in the campign for him. He said he expected Taft to win the nomination.
 Bricker's nomination was not un- expected. He said he told Taft even before Congress met last January that he did not anticipate being a candidate himself, and would be glad to give Taft his support.
 Bricker, Republican vice presi- dential nominee in 1944, was asked if his endorsement of Taft could be construed as an unqualified one.
 "Oh, sure,' he replied.
 Does this completely remove you from the picture?'
 Tt doesn't remove me, because I have never been in. I've never had any idea of being candi- date"

STASSEN WORKS UP
 CAMPAIGN
Seeks Support of Warren of California, Also
 Possible Candidate

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July 30. |-tR-Governo Earl Warren, a presidential possibility himself, re- mained silent today on Harold Stassen's expressed hope that the California chief executive would support his Republican presidential aspirations in AS.
 The former Minnesota governor and avowed candidate for the Re- publican presidential nomination, called on Warren at the stathouse yesterday-just as the late Wendell Willkie did in lining up his cam paign in 1944. They talked for two hours. When the conference broke up. Stassen told newsmen:
 T hope that when the 1948 con- vention comes I will have the sup port of Governor Warren and the California delegation. However, it is too early to discuss situation of that kind"
 Warren. just back from cruise to Honolulu, was -commital.
 We had pleasant visit" he said. He's an old friend and he drops in to visit me every time he is in California"
 Though they probably will see each other again in a few days at a vacation spot-it seemed un- likely that even a second meeting would bring any immediate state ment which would commit Warren to Stassen at the Republican con- vention.
 Stassen planned to make a quick trip by plane to Los Angeles today to confer with Raymond Haight, California Republican National Committeeman, and then return Friday to the exclusive Bohemian Grove on the Russian River where he has been vacationing. He re- turned to San Francisco last night after dining with Warren, who has arranged to spend the weekend at Bohemian Grove.

TO UTILIZE FISH WASTE
 IN ALASKA
Possibility of Establishing New Industry Now
 Indicated

SEATTLE, July 30.-R- Re- search into possibility of establish ing -miilion-dollar year-round industry for processing waste pro ducts of Alaska salmon canneries has been launched by the U. $. De- partment of Commerce.
 "The job will be done by the Alaska Fisheries Experimental Commission under a contract with the Department. acting region- al director Philip M Crawford said today.
 The Department has allotted SAT ,000 for the research program, he said. The project will determ- inc specific constituents in sal mon waste which have potential market value and the best method for storing the waste for year round processing.
 About 30 percent of the annual salmon catch of 360-million pounds now is scrap. But this waste con- tains many recoverable pharma- ceuticals such as vitamins, hor- mones and amino acids, and chem ical raw materials used as drying oils and resin bases" Crawford said.
 Recoverable material is estimated by experts to be worth up to l0- million dollars annually The waste, now being dumped into the sea or allowed to rot at canneries, 1n- cludes the head collar, tailpiece, milt, roe and other inner parts.
 With fishing Alaska's largest m- dustry, its products are valued at more than twice the total for min erals, the Territorys next most important industry. Salmon ac- counts for 90 percent of the value of fish products. About 30,00O per- sons, of whom only 1000 are resi- dents, are employed during the fishing season, he said
 The research project has receiv- ed the endorsement of Alaska's Governor, Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, Association of Pacific Fish cries, Northwest Salmon Gamers Association, Pacific American Fish cries. Inc. and National Fisheries Institute.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Sunday, in New York, I haG the privilege of help ing dedicate a veterans hospital swimming pool in memory of the four army chaplains of different faiths, who when their transport was torpedoed, gave their lifebelts to tour GIs and leaped together into the sea.
 One was Father John P. Wash ington of Newark, N. J., Catholic. One was Robbi Alexander Goode of York, Pa., a Jew. The two oth- CTS were George L. Fox of Cam bridge, Vt., and Clark V. Polling of Schenectady, N. Y, both Protest ants. Praying together, hand in hand, they went to a common grave because they had a common cause-to make world where men may live together side by side in peace, no matter what their race or creed
 So Sunday, in New York, the Bronx veterans hospital swimming pool was dedicaed to their memor- ies. a place where veterans of all races and creeds may meet and mingle, as free from prejudice as the water which flows.

JONES TE5TIFIE5 ON CONTRACT FOR
 PLANE 10 HUGHES
More Information Given Out on Deal in Which
 Kaiser Connected

WASHINGTON, July 30.-H- Jesse Jones testified today that the late President Roosevelt order ed that work continue on $20,- 100000 flying boat ordered dur ing the war from Howard Hughes
 Jones, former Secretary of Con- merce, said he talked with MT. Roosevelt following a cabinet meet ing in February, l944, and that the chief executive said he did not believe money already spent on the project should be thrown away.
 At that time, the government had spent approximately $13,500,00o on the 200-ton flying boat which has not yet been flown. Some gov- ernment production officials want ed to drop the project
 Jones told his version of the story to a Senate War Investigat- ing subcommittee inquiring into the award of about $40,000, 900 worth of wartime plane contracts to Hughes and Henry J. Kaiser.
 Jones said he had signed the original contract on direct instruc- tions from the War Production Board and without knowing the project was opposed by the Army and Navy.
 Before Jones was called to the witness chair. Glenn L. Martin, Baltimore plane builder, testified that Kaiser approached him in July, 1942. with a proposal to form a six-company combine to build 500 large cargo planes on a government order Kaiser said he alone could get.
 Kaiser acknowledged, Martin said, that the proposal was "at variance" with the approved Army Navy plane production program, but said he could get it okayed by appealing to high places"

 SITUATION
Haas Makes State m e nj Concerning Recent
 Negotiations
statement issued today b,

A statement issued today by Michael J. Haas, Territorial repre- sentative of the U. s. Department of Labor, indicates that statements appearing in Jbsterday's public notice of intent to strike by the Juneau longshoremen were mislead- ing.
 Haas recently attended meetings in Seattle between steamship op- orators and union representatives
 Juneau longshoremen yesterday said that a tentative agreement had already been reached at the Seattle meeting and "all that re- mains is that the steamship opera tors sign the contract"
 This statement, operators con- tend, is misleading in that it in- dicates that only the operators signatures is holding up the con- tract and bringing about a strike August 5. Longshoremen stated they would strike August unless the contracts are signed)
 Said Haas:
 Several meetings were held in Seattle by the Territorial repre- sentatives of the U. s. Depart ment of Labor These meetings were attended by representatives of the three Alaska steamship con- panies and the regional director ot the Longshoremen's Union.
 Most contract issues were agreed upon, with the remaining issues to be studied by the top officials oi the steamship companies who were absent from Seattle at the time of the meetings.
 The employers were to give a report to me by August l. The meetings in Seattle were carried on at a high level and it is my feeling that perhaps clarification of but a few points in the pro- posal of the ILWU contract would bring complete agreement"
 G. w. Skinner, president, and L. w. Baker, president and gen. eral manager of the Alaska Steam- ship Company have been in Alaska on company business. Local agent Horace Adams said that they were at Seward last week to confer with Alaska Railroad officials on mat ters just as vital to Alaska ship ping as the Juneau longshore problem.
 Haas said that the absence of these officials somewhat hampered negotiations at the recent meet ings and that the ILWU repre- sentative at the meetings stated he had gone as far as he would toward making concessions.
 s. J. Swanson, Alaska Trans portation Company official, said that at the recent meetings it was thoroughly understood that furth- CT discussions were to be held and operators have not been notified

 Queen, a purebred Holstein- Fresian COW, was an all-time all breed champion for milk pro- duction. Her official record to- tailed 267,3O4 pounds of milk. That total, translated into terms of bottles on the doorstep every morning, means that Queen pro- duced milk enough to supply a family with two quarts of milk daily for 170 years, three months and 23 days.

of adequate kitchen facilities. To
overcome this a very compact and

devised and is available now. 1t
occupies space of only eight square
feet, and if it can be recessed into
the wall it will, of course, require
still less room.
The assembly is made of steel and
has all the needed units for cook

is shipped complete, ready for the
necessary connections to be made.

The principle of jet-propulsion can
be used to heat houses.
A heating unit using this principle
called the Jet-Heet furnace, at
tracted a lot of attention at 7th In
ternational Heating and Ventilating
Exposition in Cleveland this week.
1t has a pint-size combustion
chamber and white enamel jacket,
making it look like home appliance.
Its makers, Kerns q McCracken,
claim it is SO to 95 per cent efficient;
burns fuel SO completely that no
SCOT, smoke or dirt result.
1t can be placed in a kitchen, ga
rage, large closet or any spare space,
requiring no chimney or cellar. It
has a two-inch diameter exhaust.
It's warm air distribution ducts are
the same size and can be run through
walls, floors and ceilings easily.
Installation costs are low, its
makers say, and it will be on the
market in quantity soon.

U. 5. Grants S65,9OO
For Standardization

The Producers Council said today
the Commerce Department had con-
tributed $65,900 to the campaign to
standardize building parts.
The campaign, a growing thing, Is
aimed at taking the hand-talloring,
and hence lot of the cost, out OF
building.
The grant has been made to the
Modular Service Association. This
group Is trying to set up industry
wide standards for building prod
ucts. Under the standards every
manufacturer of window frames, for
instance, would make the same sizes
and shapes. Time now spent cut
ting and fitting materials at build
ing sites would be eliminated. The
same would ge for doors and other
building parts.
The Producers Council and the
American Institute of Architects
both are backing the drive.
The Standardization plan would
use a 4-inch "module" approved by
the American Standards Association.
The scheme would be extended TO
masonry materials and metal parts
as we'll as doors and windows.
The program has been financed
to date largely with bequest OF the
late Albert Farwel Benis, pioneer
in the field of co-ordinated dimen-
