Morse's Announced Opposition
Oregon's Senator Morse, self-styled "constitutional lib
eral," now has an announced opponent in the republican
party.
For months there were undercurrent rumors that cer
tain prominent individuals in state G.O.P. circles were
planning to fight Morse's renomination this spring in the
primary. The names of Vice Admiral Tom Gatch, Dorothy
McCullough Lee and Bill Walsh were mentioned as pos
sible contenders. But, instead of any of these, a men's

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
MdcArthur Held Responsible
For Much of Formosa Furor
By DREW PEARSON
Washington Only a handful of republicans know all the de
tails, but General MacArthur had much more to do with stir

MacArthur seemed to take
pleasure in overriding the state

state department vetoed airplane

Burned Up Over Nickel Fire
Camden, N. J., Jan. 18 (A3) Bank vault attendants were
"burned up" yesterday over a fire that started In a pile of 65
canvas sacks containing $13,000 worth of nickels.
The blaze of undetermined origin burned holes In most
of the sacks in the main office of the First Camden National
Bank and Trust company, scattering the coins on the floor.
After the fire was extinguished, the vault attendants had
the job of shoveling the nickels up again, running them
through a counting machine and re-sacking them to be sent
