Britain Will Not Devalue Pound

LONDON. (P) - Sir Stafford Cripps declared today Britain does not contemplate devauling the pound despite French action in cutting the value of the franc.
 We do not believe this will be rendered necessary or advisable, y the chancellor of the eXchequer advised the House of Commons. Earlier government securities had dipped on the stock exchange, re- flecting investors fears that Frances action will damage the pound sterling.
 France had overridden objec- tions of both Britain and the in- ternational monetary fund in re- vauling her money. The devalua- ton gave French manufacturers chance to cut their prices as much as one-half in world mar kets and consequently threatened British markets abroad.
 Sir Stafford did not disclose what steps would be taken to pro tect the pound.
 Consultations are continui n g with the French, he disclosed.
 "In any action that we are com pelled to take" he declared, i've shall, of course, exercise the greatest care not to add to the diff faculties of our French friends more than might prove absolutely inevitable"
 Sir Stafford pointed out that Britain is responsible to the whole of the sterling area for measures to be taken.
 "We must, therefore, maintain our freedom to take any action which may be found necessary" !" he asserted.

Bradley to Become Chief Of Staff

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman formally nominated Gen. Omar Bradley as army chief of staff to succeed Gen. Dwight Ei- SenhoWer.
 He sent the nomination to the Senate which must approve it be- fore Bradley can take the army's top post.
 The White House did not speci- fly the date on which Bradley will take over the duties. The nomina- ton was made effective simply on the date of his being sworn in.
 There have been reports that Eisenhower wanted to leave about Feb. Is.
 Now 54, Bradley has been chief of the veterans administration but left that post two months ago. During the war, he commanded the 18th army group in Europe.
 Bradley has been a longtime advocate of universal military training and one of his jobs as chief of staff is expected to be that of selling this idea to Congress. Il is among the legislation President Truman asked in his state-of-the union message.

(By Jack Bell)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Gen. Ei- senhoWer's abrupt exit from the field of Republican Presidential hopefuls started new talk of Sen ator Vandenberg R.-MichD as a potential dark horse nominee Sat urday.
 Senator Sparkman D.-La.) told a reporter:
 ''It looks like EisenhoWer's withdrawal clears the way for Taft and Dewey to run a dead heat and for some third man to capture the Republican nomina- ton. My guess is that the third man will be Vandenberg, if he will take it."
 The Michigan Senator has gone a long way toward removing him. self from consideration. He has said that he is convinced no man ever is drafted for the nomination without his connivance and that he won't connive.
 Vandenberg has observed how ever that no man could decline the nomination if it actually were thrust upon him.
 The Senator smilingly declined comment Saturday on the state ment by Eisenhower that "I could not accept the nomination even under the remote circumstances that it were rendered me"
 Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio former Gov. Harold E. Stassen ot Minnesota and Gov. Thomas E Dewey of New York, announced candidates, were similarly silent
