Senators Taft and Vandenberg
the two top Republicans in Con-
gress. say that loyal Republican
| followers should stop worrying
about their party's seeming lack
of fixed policy on controversial
domestic and foreign issues of the
day.
Senator Vandenberg. his party's
senior Senator. and Senator Taft,
chairman of the Senate Republi-
can Policy Committee, insist that
seeming policy confusion is in
herent in a minority party. Both
turn thumbs down on the idea
that the Republican National
Committee should fix party posi-
ton on top issues and crack a
financial whip to make Republican
members of Congress take note.
The problem of party in
which rank and-flle members are
confused by widely-varied stands
c of individual congressional spokes-
men was one of the few matters
on which the vast majority of
the Republican National Commit
teemen seemed to agree as they
kicked and gouged one another
here last week while firing one
national chairman and electing
a new one.

The greatest source of undeveloped power today
rests with gravity which is being used only in
connection with the water powers. The same grav-
