Mrs. lait received a vacuum cleaner as a Mtt. The administratioa will quake in its boots when it sees Bob and ii. coining back to Washington uitli this," she quipped. Everybody roared. Her senator-husband got up and made a carefully studied speech demanding heavy cuts in federal spending and taxes. He too was applauded. That's a glimpse of the sijtrfoot, Jul). pound former Cincinnati law. ver who seeks the Republican i pi evidential nomination. Martha Taft. necessarily, is part I Hie picture, because when he unpawns, she battles right along liiin, speech for speech. Both, seemingly, are untiring on the vote-trail. Martha's now-famous witticisms, like "to err is Tru man ' balance the heavy array of lads delivered bluntly by the senator. When Taft first came to Wash ington in 1938, one home state paper in Ohio started oil its story: "Martha and Bob Taft were elect ed tu the Senate yesterday." Now a leading Republican figure, it is only 10 years ago that Taft till was tagged "the son of the late president." He lias gained tremendously in stature in the last decade. After being his state's "favorite son" candidate for President in lir.Mi. strictly a local political maneuver, Taft stepped out in 1940 to make a serious bid for the job. He wound up second to Wendell L. W illkie. In '44, when another Oilman, .John Itricker. won the number two spot on the ballot with Thomas Is Dewey, Taft as chairman of the resolutions committee helped draft I lie Republican platform. He was now a power in party councils. (fcziiZlk If fcT ::s"-. 5a ROBERT A. TAFT a poser or backslapper. He's not too good at remembering names.

I Hard work, intelligence and a vast capacity for absorbing facts are credited with bringing Taft to the lore ill the Senate in 1945 as chairman of the GOP minority eeiing committee. The next year's Republican vic tory put him in a key position. He became chairman of the party's i .Senate policy committee on do mestic issues, i He put his name on the Taft- Hartley labor law, and is willing ; to stake his political fortune on i thai act.

Here he began a saga in : .scholarship. He finished first in his class and later was first at Yale and at Harvard law school.

He is candid and not hesitant about giving his opinion after he's carefully studied the problem. He is blunt and clear in debate. His voice is flat and somewhat sarcastic, especially over the radio. Taft walks fast and talks de liberately!. Invariably, he is calm and self-controlled. Taft's adherence to principles has sometimes made him a lone wolf. He was widely criticized, for example, for declaring that the Nuremberg trials violated funda mental principles of American law and that the hanging of the 11. Nari big shots would be "a blot on the American record." The Tafts mix in Washington ' social life but they're not "regu lars" at all the partiPR. Taft works too hard for that.
