Taft GiUen Clear

toontinued from lnss pagsl
KnoWland (R-CaIif) that they
were not seeking it.
Unanimous Choice FOreseen
This left Taft with no known
rivals for the post, and Senator
Watkins (R-Utah) promptly said
it looked as though Taft would be
chosen unanimously by Republican
senators before the new Congress
meets January 3rd.
AT his home in Oakland, Calf,
knoWland said that "in the inter-
ests Of having a United Republican
Party, I am not going to be a
candidate for floor leader. He pre-
viousiy had said he was a candi-
date unless Bridges wished to con
tinue in the post.
Bridges, senior to all Republi-
cans in Senate service, took the Job
last year to avert a clash between
supporters of Taft and Eisenhower
for the presidential nomination.
Bridges has said all along, how
ever, that he did not wish to keep
the floor leadership, that he would
be willing to do so only if neces-
sary to prevent a rough and tufn-
ble'' party fight.
His preference, he said, was to be
chairman Of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee and Temporary
president of the Senate-a post in
which he would preside over the
Senate in the absence Of the vice
president.
In bowling out Of the race for
floor leader, Knowland said he
would be a candidate for chair
man of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee. Taft now is
chairman of the Policy Committee
but Knowland said the OhiOan
would vacate it to become the floor
leader.

himself to saying only that he was

OVERLOOK

A very beautiful wedding took
place in Whites Chapel Church on
Saturday afternoon when Miss Vic
toria Davidson, only daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Uland Davidson, be-
came the bride of Robert Locker
man, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Leighton
LOckerman, at the Drawbridge.
The groom is serving in the u. S.
Navy and is now stationed at Nor
folk, Va. The bride is employed in
the Office at Lewes School. They
expect to make their home i'm
Lewes after a short honeymoon
out of the state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Campbell
of Media, Pa, visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Campbell on Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy EllingswOrth
attended the golden wedding anni-
.versary Of their uncle and aunt. Mr..

December Is, near Milton. The oc-
.casion was held in the VFW Build
ing. 1T was given to them by their
children. The evening was spent
by recitations and singing and mu-
sic, Later ice cream and cake were
served. The wedding cake was
beautiful They received beautiful
gifts, each having something of
gold.

Taft, of course, could have con-
tinued as chairman Of the Senate
COP Policy Committee but it
would have a less important role
with a Republican administration
in office in shaping the overall
direction of party affairs.
Taft is the top-ranking RepubH-
can on the Senate Labor Commit
tee, but whether he will take the
committee Craftsmanship in addi-
ton to serving as floor leader is
uncertain.
In Cincinnati he said that he had
not considered the matter, but that
if he relinquished the committee
chairmanship it probably would go
to Senator H. Alexander Smith
(R-NJ).
The principal job of the Labor
Committee in the coming session
will be to deal with proposals for
revising the Taft-Hartley labor act.
Taft, co-author Of the measure, has
emphasized his desire to preserve
it's basic principles.
Milford chronicle., 1952-12-26

decision to announce as a candi-
date, he said, was made only after
receiving assurances that Bridges
and Knowland we're not in the
race.
Another factor that undoubtedly
figured in the picture was a remark
earlier in the week by Senator
Carlson (R-Kan). After a talk with
Eisenhower in New York, Carlson
told reporters chat if Taft wanted
the post, he presumed that he
would get it and that he would be
for him.
Carlson was one of Eisenhower's s
top advisers during the election
campaign, and senators regarded
his statement as a clear signal that
the president-elect was not oppos-
ed to Taft for floor leader. Some
doubts had prevailed on this score
they had welIed up more strong
ly after Taft's sharp protest
against Eisenhower's selection Of
Martin P. Durkin, Chicago Demo-
cTat and union official. to be his
secretary Of labor.
Taft called it an incredible ap-
pointment." He described Durkin
as a partisan Truman Democrat"
who had fought Eisenhower's elec-
ton and advocated repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Act.
Friends Of Taft have said that
one reason he decided to seek the
floor leadership was his belief that
it would give him a chance to
thrash out any differences with
Eisenhower privately before policy
decisions we're announced.
Could Offset Dewey Influence
The Ohio senator also may have
been induced to go after the post
to put himself in a better position
to match the influence in the in
coming administration of officials
long associated with Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey Of New York, Taft's arch
rival in the party.

Mr. Milbouer stated. These groups
include the self-employed, regular

workers, and others.
To get payments based solely on
work brought under the law as OF
January, 1851, these wage earners
and self-employed persons must be
covered by social security for at
least six calendar quarters about
year and half after 1850. The
size Of their monthly benefit win
depend on the average monthly
wage from employment or income
from self-smployment after 1850.
Benefit payments to a retired
worker viii range from SIS to S85

tired worker and his wife would
range from $3.50 to S127.5O
monthly.
Mr.. MilbOuer suggested that per-
