KnowIond Appears to Hold
Edqe for Senate Leadership

some Ohio Republicans want to
change State law to require q
special election to fill such con-
gresSional vacancies. The elec-
ton would have to be held within
100 days after the vacancy oc-
ours.
Chance for Republican.
Under this suggestion, q Re-
publican would have a chance to
take Senator Taft's seat. The
Ohio Legislature was in session
when Senator Taft died. Out Of
respect to the Senator, the Legis-
lature recessed until August Z
but that means it will have q
chance to act on any succession
bill that might be introduced.
Senator Bricker, Republican,
of Ohio, was reported to be ono
of the men backing the change
in succession procedure.
Gov. Lausche declined to dis
cuss any possible appointee until
after the Taft funeral.
The Governors aides, however,
insist that he does not want to
be in the position Of upsetting
Republican control Of the SEN
ate. Although a Democrat, Gov.
Lausche has widespread Repub-
lican support in Ohio and often
follows an independent course.
Democrat Likely Choice.
Gov. Lausche is expected TO
name a Democrat to the post
unless the State law is changed
but may exact a promise that
the appointee refrain from vot-
ing in any Democratic attempt
to reorganize the Senate.
Republicans already appeared
assured of continued control Of
the upper chamber. Senator
Morse. independent, of Oregon
promised yesterday to vote for
continued G. o. P. control. He
said the American people last
November indicated they wanted
Republicans to be responsible for
running the Senate. He said
he would let the G. o. p. carry
out this responsibility until the
people turned the Republicans
out of off1ce-which he said they
should do.

Senator Taft sank into a coma
late Thursday and died about 13
hours later.
The hospital announcement
said:
Senator Taft's life came to
an end quietly without pain at
1870 am, July 81. 1858.
Death Caused by TumOrs.
"His death was the result of
widespread. highly malignant.
rapidly growing tumors, the first
symptoms of which were pains
in the legs, later localized in the
left hip.
These symptoms had their
onset in the latter part of April,
1853, and in the beginning were
very obscure.
1.-The disorder was accompa-
MED by a severe anemia requir-
ing many transfusions. Some Of
the areas of involvement were
benefited by treatment and there
were brief periods of general i'm
provement.
However, the disease could
not be controlled and eventually
progressed relentlessly despite
the application of all therapeu-
tic weapons available to modern
science"
The announcement was the
first official confirmation that
Senator Taft suffered from can
cers Previous vague reports on
the Senator's illness, however
had led many friends to conclude
that he had the dread disease.
There were published reports
that Senator Taft knew the ma
ture of his ailment long before
his death. However, confirma-
ton could not be obtained from
! the family or hospital.
