Waiver Granted for Shipment of Wheat WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Maritime Administration has granted a partial waiver of the "50 per cent American vessels" requirement for a shipment of U S. wheat to Communist Hun gary. But officials emphasized to day that the action, taken be cause not enough U. S. mer chant ships were available, did not change the rule that 50 per cent of the surplus wheat sold to Soviet bloc countries must be carried in American vessels "if available." There was no immediate indi cation whether the waiver would have any effect on pres ently deadlocked negotiations tor wncai sales to itussia. The Maritime Administration action took the form of a waiver granted to Cargill Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. Cargill negotiated a sale of 100,000 tons of wheat to Hungary, and stated in a waiver application Nov; 22 that it could not find enough American ships. The waiver applies only to the one sale. Cargill said later it would enable the firm to keep its Dec. 10 deadline. JT PATIO PACrt aj 1 2 pc. tub Chickn I Potato Salad I & all the trimmingi I 1 Gal.

Robert Taft Jr., R-Ohio, seeking to follow his father's footsteps, today announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. The 46-year-old congressman-at-large, serving his first term in Congress, said he would seek the seat currently held by Dem ocratic Sen. Stephen M. Young, who is completing his initial term. Young, who ousted U.S. Sen. John W. Bricker in 1958, was expected to announce his re election plans in the near fu ture. Taft defeated Richard D. Kennedy of Cleveland in 1962 by more than 600,000 votes to win the congressman-at-largc seat. The Republican hopeful is the fourth consecutive generation of his family to be active on the national political scene. First to enter the political arena was his great-grandfather, Alphonso Taft, who served as secretary of war and then U.S. attorney general in the 1070's. His grandfather, William Howard Taft, served as Presi dent and chief justice and his father, Robert A. Taft, was elected to the U.S. Senate for three terms and twice was a contender for the Republican nomination for president, losing to Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.
