Taft Announces His Candidacy For President

WASHlNGION, (HD - senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio formally announced his candidacy today for the l948 Republican Presiden- tial nomination, describing the race as wide open"
 Taft'S long-expected formal en- try was contained in a letter to Fred H Johnson, chairman of the Ohio Republican state committee. The committee and other Ohio COP groups had urged him 20 make the race last July 3l.
 The letter was written before President Truman's announce ment to Taft and other Congress sional leaders that he was calling a special session of Congress No vember IF.
 Taft wrote Johnson that ha would keep speaking engagements already lined up but that after the Senate met he would be too busy here to make a personal campaign for the nomination.
 The Senator hurried from yes terday's White House conference to catch a plane for Cincinnati where he delivered an off the record talk at the Commonwealth Club last night. It was not learned immediately whether the special 1 session call might cause any change in his speaking plans.
 These have yet to be announced But Taft has been considering a trip through Missouri, Kansas ! Oklahoma, Arkansas and possibly Texas. His September-Octo sentiment-testing journey took him 12,000 miles through Califor- mia and the Northwest states. 1 The Senator designated Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Ohio's Repub- I lican national committeeman, as his pre-conventiOn campaign man. ager.
 Taft told Johnson he has no "present intention" of entering any other state primaries because, he said, that would require an ac- tive personal campaign and more time and money than are avail able"

There was discussion concern ing a concentration of power in our federal government to such an extent that people practically ad- dressed their prayers to Washing ton instead of to God. But after all the dark touches had been add ed to the picture it was obvious that they are waiting for George to solve the problem.

Britain Welcomes Tourists

Britain. In fact, they are exceed

obviously these visitors do not
expect to be greeted with orchids
and champagne. II they merely
wanted a good time, they would re-
main in the States. A great many
are coming because this is their
first opportunity in seven years of
seeing friends and relations In
Britain.
THE State Department of the
United States has agreed not to
grant the necessary passport to
any one who has not first booked
accommodation and got a return
ticket. Some will be staying with
friends in private houses. Hotel res
ervations for the others were mostly
booked months ago. So that vision
of thousands OF disconsolate Ameri-
cans camping on Margate sands or
Victoria Station waiting-room must
remain a vision. It will not become
a reality.
Most of our visitors this year
have such a fund of goodwill for
Britain that they are unlikely to be
severely critical of their reception
But since the reports they carry
home will influence thousands of
Americans who we hope will visit
us in the future, 1t Is up to us to see
that they enjoy themselves as much
as possible.
Customs Made Easier.
Some steps in this direction have
already been taken. For instance,
many thousands of hotel proprietors
have agreed to give foreign visitors
a special reception and to place
special facilities at their disposal.
Again, the custom authorities, real
izing the Importance OF first impress
sions, are stretching their limited
personnel to the utmost in order to
reduce inconvenience to the mini
mum. On the big ships, inamigra-
ton officers are on board and the
examination now takes place before
the passengers come ashore-a great
improvement indeed.
Whatever we do let us have a
satisfied customer"

LONDON, June THE British
tempest about welcoming American
tourists this year seems to have been
stilled.
The British Caterers Association,
which objected to the government
policy of encouring 75,000 American
visitors to Britain during 1947 be-
cause Of rationing restrictions and
reduced lodging facilities, has been
shouted down by the press and
official announcement.
One result Of the now historic
battle Of opinions has been to con-
centrate British effort on the en-
tertainment of overseas visitors.
Boards View Explained.
In connection with the tourist
situation, Sir Alexander Maxwell,
chairman of the Government
Tourist and Holiday Board, made
the following declaration:
1.-THE Tourist Board is fully rep
resentative of tourist, catering,
home holidays and hotel interests,
together with the wider national
interests, and in pursuance of the
policy of the Government has al
ready taken many steps calculated
to assist those interests catering
both for home holiday makers and
overseas visitors.
an that work it is receiving the
full cooperation of the hotels asso-
Citations, who have recently recon-
mended to their members that some
Is per cent of available accommoda-
ton should be earmarked for over
seas visitors, notwithstanding the
heavy home demands which are
being made of them.
I'm the opinion of the board there
is no justification for the suggestion
that overseas visitors can only visit
this country to the disadvantage of
our own holiday makers.
Varied Accommodations.
TYPES of accommodation are
wide and varied. From past ex-
perience there need be no conflict
of interests. Places of particular
appeal to overseas visitors are not
necessarily those which attract the
of home holiday-makers."
The Right Hon. Lord Hacking,
chairman of the Travel Associa-
ton of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, recently made a 10000
mile tour of the United States to
acquaint Americans with tourist
conditions in Britain. On his re-
turn to London, his report declared:
"And do they still want to Gomez"
people ask me.
oddly enough, they do. After
all, the Americans are not under
the illusion that Britain is an island
paradise. They know quite well all
about our difficulties.
They also have first-hand re-
ports from millions of ex-GI's who
passed through here during the war,
as well as letters from friends In

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, N. j.,
June THE greatest influx of va
cationists since the war is travelling
over the Ocean drive on the jersey
Cape.
The Government-built bridges
span five inlets to give the motorist
a trip for so miles along the South
Jersey coast, always within sight or
sound Of the Atlantic Ocean The
drive begins at Atlantic City and
terminates at Cape May, but may be
entered from any Of the 10 resorts
through which it passes.
All Of the resorts on the Ocean
drive are on islands and are linked
by the $4,000, 900 bridge highway.
The beaches of Cape May County
stretching south from Atlantic
City to the Cape May Peninsula
offer fndividualized vacation spots
which are best described as family
resorts" For the most part they
serve summer residents rather than
summer visitors.
Although the resorts Of Cape May
County afford adequate hotel &C
cpmmodations for their needs, none
can be- classified with the metro
politan" resorts which emphasize
skyscraper hotels and smart shop
ping districts.
Family Type Entertainment.
A great many OF the summer resi-
dents Of these resorts have been
summer citizens for many years.
They either own their own cottages
or rent dwellings by the month or
season. Other families patronize
the informaSsmaller hotels or ROOM
ing houses.
In keeping with their tradition as
family resorts" these municipal
tiles take pride in the family type Of
entertainment afforded. All have
excellent beaches and swimming
and beach games are popular. Most
have large and active yacht or boat
clubs, which hold frequent races in
the popular star and moth classes
as well as for cupboard and inboard
motor boats.
Surf fishing is a popular pastime
at these resorts and the fleets of
party boats for deep sea fishing
enjoy an active patronage.
Virtually all of the Cape May
County resorts provide special activ-
tiles for young people. There are
open air band, concerts, free dane
ing, fishing contests, marble tourna-
ments, quot and horseshoe pitching
tournaments and baby parades.
These resorts have been adopted
by many of the younger persons in
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
tinore as summer vacation rendez-
vous. Numerous college and high
school fraternities and sororities
maintain summer houses in the
Bounty. Another favorite plan with
young persons is to form con-
genial group to pool resources and
rent a cottage for all or part of a
season.
Students Find Employment.
Many high school and college
students from the nearby metro
poltan cities find summer employ
ment at these. resorts, especially as
ifeguards.
Northermost of the Cape May
County resorts is Ocean City, d.
rectly across the bay from Atlantic
City and long known as a summer
play spot. Ocean City has excellent
hotels The city also has numerous
boarding and rooming houses and
a great many cottages for rent by
the season. Reservations for this
type of accommodation should be
made in person or through a local
real estate agent.
South of Ocean City are Strath-

FREDERICK, Md, Sept. 29.-With
the largest number of exhibits in
many years and a varied program
of entertainment planned, the stage
was set today for opening of the
o5th Frederick Fair, which will be
held for four days beginning to-
morrow.
The prospect of favorable weather
at the start prompted officials to
predict a record attendance for the
1947 fair. Guy K. Motter, secretary,
said an indication of public interest
was to be found in the heavy ad-
vance sale of grandstand reserva-

Judging of exhibits will start at
10 am. tomorrow. The compete
ton is especially keen in the live
stock department, with many prize
beef and dairy cattle entered.
Gov. Lane has accepted an invita-
ton to attend the fair Wednesday,
which is set aside as Governor S
day. Tuesday is Children's day
and Thursday Farmers day.
Harness racing is scheduled on
the afternoon programs, both We'd

Buying Of Surplus Potatoes
Discontinued in MARYLAND

Joseph H. Blandford, Maryland
production and marketing admin
istrator, announced yesterday that
purchase of surplus potatoes has
been ordered discontinued.
Mr.. Blandford said President
Truman's concern about the food
situation, foreign and domestic, had
spurred his department to find
measures to conserve foodstuffs for
human consumption. especially
grains and their substitutes.
Surplus low-grade potatoes have
been purchased by the State from
growers. since July Is. They have
been resold to farmers for livestock
feed, chiefly as a substitute for corn.
The order to discontinue pur-
chases was issued, Mr.. Blandford
said, after 1.l00 carloads had been
bought and resold. He added that
orders from livestock men in all
sections Of the State were on fils
when the program ended.

Bread waste in the past has been

Washington housewives can help
by seeing that children eat their

Indictment Of Realtors

The Prince Georges County Real

against Federal indictment of the

Estate Board on charges of con-
spring to violate the antitrust laws
by fixing brokers commissions in
the District.
Robert NJ. Watkins, president,
said the Prince Georges group will
inform the Maryland Congressional
delegation of the boards "indigna-

The Prince Georges board" he
said, although not named in the

it believes there is no sound basis of
fact upon which to brand the men

"It would be equally intelligent
similarly to brand all other sales
groups which try to standardize the
