Party Leader Quote Shakes Ohio Demos COLUMBUS. O- June 20-MV Ohio democrats were stunned to day by a hint that their party leader Gov. Frank J. Lausche might vote for the republican sen ator, Robert A. Taft. Lausche in a shockingly frank statement didn't say he would; but he didn't say he wouldn't He told newsmen in White sul phur Spring, W. Va., that "my o on oral rfisnfttition would be to vote for the democratic candidate for U. S. senator," Joseph T. Fer guson. Then he added: "I yrfu vote, when I determine the issues, for the candidate I be lieve will serve the nation nest. If I decide that candidate is Fer guson. I will vote for him. If I belive it is Taft, I will vote for him. I will not allow my parry interest to overcome my interest In ttit country " . Everybody granted that Gover nor Lausche is privileged to vote for whom he pleases. But in the ooinion of democra tie nartv workers, striving to elect 11 their candidates, Lausche's position amounted to sheer poll tical heresy. And fnr such words to come from their titular state leader, who nsldnff them to eive him a third term as governor why it is Just unthinkable! At White Sulphur Springs, T-ancrhp tonight shrueeed off thin ly-veiled democratic criticism of his hint that he mignt support Taft for re-eiecnon. At the same time. Lausche made it plain in remarks to a reporter that he intends to keep comusea for some time to come everybody in Dhin and elsewhere who is in terested in his unorthodox state ment that he might not vote for Veriisnn. Th Tjuisrhe statement droDDed like a bomb on a conference of national and state democratic leaders in Columbus. The meet tntf wax called for the exDress purpose of helping Ferguson beat Taft in the wov. i election. Ferguson himself, the fiery state auditor whn is noted for sizzling political potshots, for once had no comeoacK at least not zor jau Vfa .ist declared; "I'm still e ey ing to beat Taft by 250,000 votes." Labor leaders, meeting witn tne "democrats to help drive the Taft Hartlev ct co-author out of the senate, tersely remarked: "No comment" They included Jack Kroll, national chairman of the cm TVditirvnl action committee. Today, Taft was asked in Wash ington how he interpreted Lau sche's White Sulphur Springs srtaterhent- The senator grinned and re plied: "I'm not interpreting, mat s the newspapers' job."

Scudder (R-Calif ) urged Un ited States trade treaty negotiators today to maintain present tariff evels on plywood imports. Plywood manufacturing has be come an important industry in California, Oregon and Washing ton, Scudder said in a statement submitted to the committee for reciprocity information. United States production costs are 41 per cent higher than in Canada, the chief competitor of the American plywood industry, he said. Without tariff protection, he said, foreign producers could un dersell American plywood plants and force them to reduce or halt their operations, throwing thou sands of men out of work. The American douglas fir ply wood industry, he added, has the capacity to produce far in excess of American requirements.
