Role of Favorite
Son for Texans
Washington (U.P.) Senate
Democratic Leader Lindon B.
Johnson is telling friends that
he has no intention of becoming
a serious candidate for the 1956
presidential nomination, it was
disclosed today.
The report circulated here
just before Adlai E. Stevenson,
the 1952 nominee, announced in
Chicago that he is going to be a
candidate. ' -
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D.
Minn, told a Jefferson City, Mo.,
audience yesterday that Steven
son definitely would run.
Humphrey also, said . Stevenson
would enter the Minnesota presi
dential primary.
Favoiita Son Candidate
A number of conservative and
middle-of-the-r o a d Democrats,
particularly in the South, have
been -wondering , if Johnson
might be available for-the 1956
nomination even though he suf
fered a heart attack last July 2.
Friends of Johnson here said,
however, that he is telling fel
low Democrats, including back
ers of the principal contenders,
that he will not be a serious can
didate, is position presumably
would not rule out his being a
"favorite son" candidate of
Texas Democrats and receiving
first ballot votes of other dele
gates at the Chicago convention
next August.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson CD-
Wash.) said after a tour of his
home state that he thinks the
people there do not want Presi
dent Eisenhower to run again
after his recent heart attack.
"They would not vote for a
part-time president in a world
filled with 24 hour problems,"
Jackson said.
McCarthy Lists Candidates
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-
Wis.) said last night he feels that
President Eisenhower would be
unfair to himself and to the
American people if he ran for re
election despite his recent heart
attack. t
McCarthy said he considered
as "good candidates" for the Re
publicans, FBI Director J. Edgar
Hover, Sens. Styles Bridges
(N.H.) and Everett Dirksen (111.),
Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee and
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon.
He opposed Dr. Milton Eisen
hower, the President's brother,
and Harold E. Stassen on
grounds that they represent the
"extreme left wing."
In New York, Indiana Repub
lican Gov. George N. Craig de
fended the administration's farm
program against Democratic at
tacks and said it "will prove
successful if it is not sabotaged."
He said the GOP program of
flexible farm price supports
'will and should be a key issue
in 1956."
Twining Urges Close
Watch Kept on Reds
Honolulu, T. H. (U.R) Gen.
Nathan A. Twining, Air Force
chief of staff, warned yesterday
that the U. S. military must keep
a close eye on the Chinese Reds,
who he said are still expanding
their airfields, bringing in new
aircraft and generally building
up their air potential.
Twining made his remarks
upon his return from a Far East
ern inspection tour.
"I don't think the Russian lul
laby has affected the Chinese
Communist situation one damn
bit," Twining said. "Their am
bition is the same as ever."
However, the Air Force boss
said he was pleased with the
state of readiness in which he
found the U. S. Far East Air
Force, as well as the air arms
of Nationalist China and the Re
public of Korea.
"They're ready . to go," he
said. "I don't think anyone is
going to start an all-out attack"
in the face of U. S. retaliatory
power.
Tamalpais Slaying
Brings 10-Year Term
San Rafael, Calif. (U.P.)
Marin County Superior Judge
Carlos Freitas yesterday reduced
the second' degree murder con
viction of Rodney G. Sheran to
manslaughter.
At the same time, Freitas de
nied a motion for a new trial
and sentenced Sheran to San
Quentin for a term up to 10
years.
Sheran, 37, a Greenbrae ex
cavating contractor, was con
victed Oct. 17 of slaying his wife,
Esme, 42, on the slopes of Mt.
Tamalpais last spring.
Freitas said he reduced the
conviction because of a "reason
able doubt" that Sheran . bore
"malice" when he killed his
wife.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Roger Garety
indicated he will appeal the rul

For Launch Loss
Auckland, New Zealand 0J.R)
Divers found the seacock op
en in the engine room, of the
ghost launch Joyita today,
strengthening the theory that
pirates waylaid the vessel and
disposed of the 25 persons
aboard.
Eyewitnesses who boarded the
empty Joyita after it was found
half -submerged near the Fiji Is
lands said there ' was evidence
it had been systematically strip

One eyewitness reported the
ship's bell, radios and compass,
and a dinghy were missing.
When the 60-foot converted
yacht first was found last week,
it was reported that the sextant
and. some food stores had been
removed, perhaps by Japanese
island holdouts of World War
II.
The 70-ton vessel was half sub
merged and had suffered dam
age that experts said could have
resulted from a ramming by a
larger ship.
