"I am not a candidate for any
other office," Kefauver told a news
conference. !-
DiSalle will seek the Democrat
ic nomination to run for the sen
ate seat now held by Republican
John Bricker, who comes up for
reelection this year.
DiSalle told a news conference
the date; he leaves the office of
price stabilization will be deter

cement after he had a 50-minute
conference with President Tru

his job for some time, probably
until the President names a suc

But Kefauver' plans were more
positive.
"I am going to work hard to
win. I'm in until the finish."
The Tennesseeman, who sky
rocketed to national prominence
last year as chairman of the Sen
ate Crime Investigating Commit
tee, also declared he will cam
paign for a "clean house" in gov
ernment and an end to " the un
holy alliance between the criminal
element and some men in politics."
He said he will lay stress on
developing "the positive and great
elements in our foreign policy,"
and seek to push a "policy of
strength" as a "Democratic counter-offensive
against Communism."
Kefauver already has been en
tered in the Illinois primary,
which occurs April 8. He Is pitted
there against Senator Brien Mc
Mahon of Connecticut. There have
been reports that McMahon's en
try Is part of an effort by Truman
supporters to check the Kefauver
movement.
New Hints Arise
Shortly, before Kefauver an
nounced bis candidacy, new hints
arose that President Truman may
seek re-election.
Democratic National Commit
teeman John Nangle of the Presi
dent's home state told newsmen
he has "no doubt" that Mr. Tru
man will run again. Emerging
from a White House visitf Nangle
said Mr. Truman had not disclos
ed his plans, but he commented:
"I do think President Truman
will run for the presidency again."
Elsewhere on the political scene:
1. Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illi
nois and Gov. Frank J. Lausche of
Ohio, both frequently mentioned
as optentlal "dark horse? candi
dates for the Democratic presi
dential nomination, declared them
selves out of the picture.;
2. Senator Paul Douglas (D-Hl),
often mentioned as a possible can
didate, indicated to newsmen on
Capitol Hill that he will support
Senator Kefauver for the Demo
cratic nomination.
3. Senator Robert A. Taft (R
Ohio) headed back to Washington
after a 48-hour whirl of hand
shaking and speech making in his
bid for Wisconsin's 30 delegates to

Ban on Beer for
UMT Trainees
WASHINGTON (JP) - Methodist
Bishop Wilbur E. Hammaker won
a promise Wednesday that a ban
of even 3.2 per cent beer for
trainees will be "carefully consid
ered" when the House Armed
Services Committee starts writing
a bill for universal military train
ing. The bishop made his anti-beer
plea in testimony to the commit
tee as one of a parade of witnesses
against the training plan. The op
position, with about 60 asking to
be heard, took over the witness
stand Tuesday. UMT backers had
testified earlier.
Bishop Hammaker told the com
mittee that even 3.2 beer is "not
such'an innocent little beverage as
some folks suggest and believe."
He urged thought about "the deso
lation and ruin that may come to
a soldier boy through the beer
drinking habit."
Hard liquor now is barred from
military camps but 3.2 beer is al
lowed. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the
committee told Hammaker the beer
ban proposal will be "carefully
considered."

Unknown 'Pauper' Dies
Leaving Huge Fortune
NEW YORK (JP)-A shabbily-dressed old man buried in a Brook
lyn "potter's field" last November was found Wednesday to have left
an apparent fortune in a safe deposit box.
Police said the box contained bank books, bonds and stocks show
ing a value of half a million dollars.
How he amassed them nobody knows.
He left no relatives and no will.
so far as is known.
Police identified the old man as
Harry C. Smith, 84. He lived amid
a shambles of old newspapers and
junk in a dilapidated house.
Had No Bed
, His home bad no bed. His elethee
were virtually rags. He wore two
pairs of trousers at once, held up
by pins. His socks and shoes had
holes.
He slept days and left his home
at night. Three or four times a
week he visited his safe deposit
box at the Pioneer Warehouse in
Brooklyn. Until his death, nobody
knew what he had hidden inside.
Smith had told a few neighbors
he was a newspaperman. He said
he wrote society items, financial
news and a syndicated column
but never disclosed where or
when they were published.
Employes of the warehouse said
his known history goes back to
1914 when he visited the ware
house for the first time.
Conditions Discovered
In April, 1941, Smith's visits to
the vault halted. Employes went
to his home to inquire. They
found he was ill in a hospital.
That was when they discovered
the disarray in which he lived.
He recovered that time, and
soon resumed his visits to his de
posit box.
Then, some months ago, his vis
its stopped. Two weeks ago the
warehouse people inquired again.
His neighbors hadn't seen him.
The missing persons bureau was
called in.
The bureau found that he en
tered King's County Hospital Oct.
21 and died Oct. 24.
Nobody knew him. He was bur
ied in potter's field on Nov. 5. He
took his best news story to the
grave.

Cold Follows
Blizzard Into
Northern U.S.
By The Associated Press
Bitter cold spread across upper
sections of the Midwest Wednes
day in the wake of the area's
worst blizzard of the season, while
local blizzards and moderate gales
blew in on Western New York.
At least six persons died in the
three-day snow storm in the Da
kotas and Minnesota.
In South Dakota, a stranded girl
pupil froze to death in an unheat
ed school house and the body of a
man was found near hii snow
stalled truck. Eighteen persons
listed as missing in the storm were
located Wednesday in stalled cars
or isolated farmhouses.
34 Below Zero
The surge of Arctic cold drove
the mercury to -34 in Bemidji,
Minn.; -30 at Grand Forks, N. D.;
-29 at Broadus, Mont.; -23 at
points in South Dakota and -12 in
parts of Iowa.
Snow plows worked throughout
the night at the slow task of
breaking through frozen and wind
packed drifts. The main highways
in Minnesota were open but high
way travel was nearly at a stand
still in North and South Dakota.
High Snow Drifts
Winds of 50 to 60 miles an hour
piled 10 inches of snow into moun
tainous drifts in the Dakotas Mon
day night and Tuesday. The storm
swept from the Rockies to the
Great Lakes.
Some 280 schools still were clos
ed Wednesday in Minnesota and
Western Wisconsin alone.
No immediate relief from the
cold was in sight in the Midwest.
Train service was struggling
back toward normal in the bliz
zard belt as winds diminished.
Jimmy Stewart
Gets Feet Wet
Watching Race
PORTLAND, Ore. (JP) - Movie
Actor Jimmy Stewart got his feet
wet Wednesday after watching a
steamboat race on the Columbia
River.
The 40-year-old stern wheeler
Henderson won the 34 -mile race
as expected from the 4-year-old
Portland, another sternwheeler.
But the Henderson burned out
a fuse in the process and had to
be towed to her berth.
In the towing, the Henderson
hit and broke a piling. Her prow
rammed a catwalk on which Ste
wart was standing and pushed it
under water.
Stewart shinnied up another
piling and escaped with only wet
feet.
The race between the stern
wheelers now river tugs was
part of the publicity for the mov
ing picture, "Bend of the River,"
which had its first showing here
Wednesday night. Part of the pic
ture, featuring Stewart, was film
ed in Oregon.
