Knight Seeks Unity For GOP; Sen. Morse Sees Fate of Whigs Washington U.R) Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of California stepped forward today with plea for his Republican party to "heal its wounds" quickly in order to remain in power in 1956. The heir to Earl Warren's noli' tical mantle admitted frankly mat tne uup is divided between right wine and liberal factions But he said, "I think it can be healed. "I think the division has been unduly . emphasized bv small groups who do not really rep resent the great thinking and the great convictions of the large groups of Republicans and the large mass of Republicans," he said. Must Face Responsibilities Knight said the divisions can jbe erased if the GOP faces up to "international responsibilities as well as national responsibilities , and if that is accepted as the ; policy of the party ..." He spoke as Sen. Wayne Morse, i Oregon Independent who bolted the Republican party in 1952, charged that the GOP is so split ! into "various congolmerations of discord and hisharmony" that it Fugitives Found In Old Mine Tunnel By Cop, Newsman Las Vesas (U.R) Three Clark county jail fugitives, in cluding one murder suspect, were captured early today in an abandoned mine tunnel by a po lice detective and a reporter.

The trio which escaped yester day after overpowering a jailer was identified as Walter Sefton, 32, who was to go on trial today on charges of murdering a wo man, J. D. Tucker, 33, and Clif ford F. Lair, 31, held on forg ery charges. Police said a wo : man identified as Deborah Faye i Vassar, 22, was with the men . and was believed partly respon '; sible for the escape.

Morse made the statement in commenting on the condemna tion of Sen. 'Joseph R. McCarthy in which 22 Republicans voted for and 22 Republicans voted against the resolution to con demn the Wisconsin Republican "The McCarthy debate served clear notice on the country that one can no longer speak of a single united Republican party but must now speak in terms of tne spvpra I Bpnnhliran norlioe " Morse said.

"We now have the Eisenhowpr Republican cartv. the Knowland Republican party, the McCarthy neDUDllcan nartv. the .Tenner Republican party and Remibli- can parties with various con golmerations of discord anrt rtie harmony," he added.

The Whig party elected presi dents in isu and 1848 but tore itself to pieces in the middle 1850's in the controversy over slavery.
