Taft Urges Independent Congress on Foreign Policy

Senator Robert A. Taft spoke at a Republican rally at the High School Auditorium, calling for a definite foreign policy and an independent Congress to replace the current, perceived pro Communistic drift. He accused the Truman administration of inviting war in Korea and urged expansion of the Air Force and stronger defense while praising welfare and education measures without federal overreach.

Restrictions Placed On Gas Heating In Ohio

The State Utilities Commission in Columbus placed limited restrictions on gas heating conversions, affecting Middletown area customers as Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co. is among seven major Ohio gas firms under the ruling. Only one conversion burner may be installed per new gas heating unit. Demand has far outpaced applications for the past three months, straining supply and causing refusals to guarantee service. Some areas will not face new installations until gas mains can bear the load. others will be frozen from new permits. The action follows a public hearing and aims to curb a recent gas supply crisis in Ohio.
