TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Two Policy Disputes May Cast Future Steps, of Republican Party By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Two red hot policy disputes, each fierce ly dividing the Republican Party, come up today for public discus sion. The disputed questions are "McCarthyism" and foreign policy. The depth and firmness of the Republican Party front in the new 84th Congress and in the 1956 presidential election campaign may well depend how these questions are resolved. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles will make a full-dress foreign policy statement in Chi cago tonight and the Senate to day resumed after a 10-day re cess its debate of the resolution to censure Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy (R-Wis.). . Swollen by Events National and party interest in Dulles' speech has been swollen bv events. It was preceded by Sen. William F. Knowland's bar rage of complaints that the Eis enhower administration's cold war policies . were too softly timid and needed overhaul. Then came Red China's announcement that 13 Americans, 11 of them Air Force men, had been charged, convicted and impris oned for espionage. Knowland, the Senate Republican leader promptly called for a blockade of tiie China mainland to ob tain release of those prisoners and all other Americans held by Red China. There is no doubt in Wash ington now that the young Sen ate leader from California seeks a showdown with, the adminis tration on foreign policy. Some support for that, is building up in the Senate. More may come from the conservative or so- called Taf t wing of the party where, by chance, also is found compromise with the Knowland formula is possible or whether the Senate Republican leader will be compelled to seek among the Taft conservatives a politi cal combination to put on pres- Lutherans Elect Harvey M.Brandau - Harvey M.

The transaction must still be approved by U. S. -Plywood stockholders. , Associated has fir plywood plants at Eugene and Willamina and operates seven plywood dis- mill.

These are angry disputes like ly to become more so as they proceed. Dulles' speech tonight should indicate whether some Amateur Radio Operators Sought By Army in West San Francisco The Army is seeking amateur radio operators in eight Western states for mem bership in the Military Amateur Radio System (MARS), Sixth Army Headquarters announced today. Stations in Arizona, Califor nia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, '. Utah and Washington are needed to strengthen the net work, which provides a vitally needed "in place" communica tions system for use in time of emergency. Anyone over 16 years of age (or 16, with parents' consent) who possesses a valid Federal Communications Commission (FCC) radio amateur license is eligible to join MARS, said Lieu tenant Colonel Charles J. Schau ers, MARS Director, Headquar ters Sixth Army, Presidio of San Francisco, who can provide ap plication blanks and further in formation. MARS, organized in 1948 un der Army-Air Force sponsorship, consists of military unit stations at Army and Air Force installa tions, as well as amateur stations located in private homes or. quar ters. Radio nets are established on military frequencies close to the amateur bands. ,Net drills consist of practice in operational discipline, military communica tions procedures, participation in emergency exercises and thrashing out (on the air) current MARS operations and equipment problems. Alsothrough some of its mem ber stations who belong to the Civil Defense Communications Systems, MARS effects liaison between military - commanders and civil defense organizations during emergencies. 'Joe Must Go' Club Hopes tor Success Madison, Wis. (U.R) Lead ers of the "Joe Must' Go" club still had hopes today that a suc cessful recall campaign might be launched against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. " Club officials met here Sat urday to chart the future of the movement to unseat Wisconsin's junior senator. But Leroy Gore, founder and leader of the club, said the advice of a "top consti tutional lawyer" would - be sought before a decision could be made. . Gore, a Sauk City weekly newspaper editor who led an un successful campaign to recall McCarthy earlier this year, said he was confident that enough petition signatures could be gathered to ask for an election, but that possible legal obstacles stood in the way. There has been some ques tion as to whether a state recall law could apply to a U.S.- Sen ator, a point that both Gore and State Democratic party leaders hit on recently in discussing the wisdom of a recall effort. ?

The word in Washington has been that Dulles will not offer much comfort to Knowland al though China's fake spy charges may have changed that. The secretary and President Eisen hower appear to be in a more conciliatory mood, inclining to ward a doubtfully cautious ac ceptance of the idea that peace ful coexistence with Commu nism is both possible and enorm ously preferable to any move which even remotely promised to set the A and H-bombs fly ing. ; . , ;.. ' . Dulles Thinking in Economics Dulles has - been thinking of late in terms of foreign economic policy aid-to-Asia and such more than in the terms of global military and political strategy which has been basic in his policy recommendations. But and stepped-up private invest ment in behalf of the more or less free Asians is not the kind of . thing Knowland and some others now are pressing to check Communist aggression. All out disagreement on foreign' policy plus the emotion al hangover of the angry Mc Carthy controversy could rip and tear the Republican Party front in the 84th Congress and in the presidential campaign. There has been no complaint from the administration so far against Knowland's firm chal lenge but even less has there been any. hint that Mr. Eisen hower would accept the Calif orn ian's advice. . , ,. . 'Retaliation' Ideas Shushed On the contrary, there seems now to be a tendency to shush such ideas as the "massive re taliation" with which Dulles at one time: -w a s threatening to meet any Communist aggression. Moreover, some columnists and others with friendly White House ties are beginning to spec ulate on the possibility of a top level Big Four meeting, after all the heads of state. Meantime, Sen. Milton R. Young (R-N.D.) and Sen. Frank Barrett (R-Wyo.) seconded Know land's motion for a blockade of the Chinese mainland. Young was a notable supporter of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft. Killer of Newsman .... Flees Ohio Prison Columbus, 6. (U.R) Po lice in two states today hunted the murderer ; of a crusading newspaperman who escaped prison yesterday by walking out the gate with a red-haired wo man companion. Ohio and Pennsylvania auth orities were alerted when the fugitive Patrick ; Eugene Mc Dermott, 57, wearing civilian clothes like other honor dorm itory inmates, walked past two guards and fled in a waiting car. -.

Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington (U.R) The new Congress isn't here yet, but the vanguard is. ' ' Administrative assistants, clerks, and some of the stenographers. All are look ing for a place to land. They have their own housing problems, . but the biggest job is to . anchor the boss, the man i who has Harman Nichol been elected. Lyle O. Snader, Clerk of the House, has many of the an swers for freshmen congressmen. He has put them in a little book let that can save a lot of rookies a lot of time. It is , called "in formation for representatives elect to the 84th Congress. Lyle, a helpful guy and an old house hunter himself, first describes taking of the oath of office and the duplicate filing of copies with the Clerk of the House. Explains Salary V The pamphlet informs the new- fcomers that their yearly stipend is $12,500, plus $2500 expenses per annum. ' And then Snader lets out that each lawmaker in the House is allowed 20 cents a mile each way from his home to the steps of the capitol for each session of Congress. , But what is worrying the new members is the assignment of suites in the two House office buildings, plus finding private lodging in this crowded city. The former adds up to a gamble for the neophytes. In order to get the best view and the nicest red leather chairs and the fanciest mahogany, a congressman must have senior ity.

Dec. 6, the new members or their representatives draw numbers from the hat to determine the ; order of their choice of what's left after the old-timers have had their pick. Once a new member legally and properly is settled in his quarters, he finds that he has certain privileges.

A pocket size dictionary will be furnished each member, con taining pictures of himself and other members. So until he learns his way around he can whip out his little book and tell at a glance one member from another.- Use Tribune Want Ads DR: THOMAS C. ANDERSON . .

He said he is "sure" that "some time or other . . . the good people of Russia will have a free government with which we can carry on relations and business just as we. do with England and France."

Pope Limiting Activities To Brief Meetings Vatican City "(U.R) Pope Pius XII today began limiting his activities to brief confer ences on church affairs and occa sional appearances to the public at an apartment window. For the first time in 16 years, the Pope failed last night to at tend the spiritual exercise in the chapel' which is situated more than a half-mile from his living quarters in the Vatican Palace. The spiritual exercises are held annually in the Vatican to prepare for the solemn celebra tion of the Christmas season. Spent Good Night But Vatican sources said the Pope spent , a "passably good" night and heard mass from his bed through an open door, this morning.
