which has taken 268 lives in two
weeks.
Schools and universities in Cairo

several persons to jump aboard.
The United States Embassy for
warded to Washington an Egyptian

TOKYO, Sunday, Oct. 5.-The
British occupation force newspaper
Boom" said today that 900 corpses
the last of thousands to die from
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
two years ago-had been located on
the small island of Nino in Hiro-
shima harbor.
Although thousands of Hiroshima
victims. including many injured, are
known to have fled to Nino Island.
the bodies were not found until last
week, when Japanese officials visited
the tiny island seeking a suitable
spot for memorial to Hiroshima's
dead, the paper said
1t reported the odor Of death
was still so heavy over the open
graves that visitors were sickened.
There was no immediate confir-
nation from other sources. The
story was given some credence, how
ever, because it was known that
thousands of japanese streamed out
of Hiroshima in few hours after
the bomb dropped, some fleeing to
the mountains and others to the
nearby islands.

Taft Predicts Victory
For 6. 0.P., Will State
Own Stand This Month
Plans to Answer Demand
He Run for President
About October a.
BY Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 4. - Senator
Taft of Ohio today predicted the
election of a Republican Presi-
dent in 1948 and announced he
would make his reply to the Ohio
Republican Central Committees
demand that he become candi-
date "about October a."
Senator Taft based his prediction
of Republican victory on his OBJ
servations in the six states of the
Far West in which he has been
campaigning during the last three
weeks, California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Nevada and Wyo-
ming.
The principal conclusion I have
formed is that the Republicans viii.
carry these six states in 1948, fol
Congress and for President" Taft
said. These states went Republi-
can in 1916 and the prevailing opin-
ion is the Republicans will be even
stronger in 1948.
with regard to the Republican
(PresidentiaD nomination, I will
compare the conclusions I have
formed with other information from
the East, and make my reply to the
Ohio Central Committee about Oc-
tober "a.
whatever I may decide about
becoming a candidate, there is nc
doubt in my mind that the Repub-
licans will elect President In
le48."
Senator Taft, accompanied by
Mrs. Taft, left Chicago early today
to return to his home in Cincinnati
Monday night he is to debate with
Democratic Senator OMahoney OF
Wyoming the question WHO'S
to Blame for High Prices? The
Ohio. Senator, during his Western
tour. has laid the responsibility upon
the White House doorstep. The de-
bate will be conducted over the
radio. with Senator Taft speaking
from Cincinnati and Senator O'Ma-
honey from Denver.
To Confer with Advisers.
During the next few days, Senator
Taft will consult with Representative
Clarence j. Brown and other ad-
visers about his own political plans
Mr.. Brown, who is in charge OF the
Taft preconvention campaign, has
been gathering information regard
ing-Senator Taft's availability and
his chances of nomination and cleo
ton from the North, East and South
while Senator Taft has been making
samples of his own in the West, on
a 10,0O0-mile' swing.
While Senator Taft still delays
making announcement of his can
didacy, it is regarded as certain he
will throw his hat In the ring. There
are several reasons for this belief.
First, Senator Taft has been def
nitely encouraged by his reception
in the West and by promises of sup
port given him by some of the key
men in the Republican organizations
of at least half of the six States he
visited. He is also encouraged by
reports made to him in wyoming
by leading Republicans in Utah and
Colorado who came to meet him.
Taft First Choice in Ohio.
Secondhand this is violent as
sumption-should Senator Taft an
nounce he would not become can
didate, where would it leave the Re-
publicans of Ohio, and where would
it leave the race for the Republican
presidential nomination?

Angered House Group
Summons ; Civil
Service Commissioners
By Joseph Young

The House Executive Expendi-
lures Committee has subpoenaed
the three Civil Service Commits
sioners to determine whether
the commission is keeping the
names of some members of
Congress in a special loyalty in
vestigation lead" file, it was
learned last night.
It is understood that the commit
tee is angry over reports that the
names and records of some members
of Congress are contained in the
file, in which information is held
for possible future use in loyalty
and character Investigations
Some committee members are
reported to have taken the stand
that. If this were true, it was not
only an insult to Congress but that
the commission had no legal author
ity to keep such records.
Committee Chairman Hoffman
was not available for comment.
Those subpoenied were Harry B.
Mitchell, president of the Civil
Service Commission, and his two
associates, Commissioners Arthur
S. Flemming and Frances Perkins.
Also subpoenaed with the commits
sioners, who will appear before the
committee tomorrow morning, were
the commissions files.
The so-called lead" file is dos
sier kept by the commissions inves-
tigators apart from their regular
files in compiling loyalty and other
Investigations on Federal job appli-
cants and Government employees.
The Information in the lead" file IS
usually about persons not now en-
ployed in the Government. which
was picked up incidentally in the
Investigators inquiry into other
matters.
Any information, derogatory or
otherwise, that might be useful
should the person involved apply for
a Federal job, is placed in the file
for future use. Records are kept on
persons suspected being Communist
or affiliated with Communlst-front
organizations. and persons suspected
of being involved in American Fas-
cist organizations.
It could not be determined last
night whether the names of any
members of Congress were in the
file, but in the event there are, the
commission is expected to bow to
the committees demand that the
names be removed
