Ike Urged To Avenge Attack - Los Angeles (U.PJ The heads of the CIO, President Walter P. Reuther and Secretary treasurer James B. Carey, today called on President Eisenhower to avenge the denunciation he received from Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. Reuther and Carey issued statements yesterday saying Mc Carthy's denunciation should lead the- President to "reject the McCarthy cult before they de nounce him." Reuther and Carey interrupted the CIO's 16th annual conven tion to give their views on Mc Carthy's attack on the President. Carey expressed the hope that the President would "belatedly reject McCarthy's support which he cultivated in 'his 1952 hunt for votes. "Maybe the President" also will belatedly defend a great American, Gen. George Marshall, whom he abandoned in order to remain in McCarthy's good graces," he added. Reuther said yesterday's at tack by McCarthy was "further proof" that the Republican party was seriously and deeply di vided. He said, "It is a tragedy that is incapable of effective leadership in this period of world crisis."

Wednesday, December 8, 1934 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Geary Doubts Gas Tax Hike Portland U.R) Rep. Ed Geary, Klamath Falls, chairman of the State Legislative High way Interim committee, said here yesterday his committee probably will refuse to recom mend a two-cent increase, in the state gas tax to the next session of the legislature. , . Geary told members of the Oregon Trucking association, however, that the highway com mission's case for the 'increase to bolster the highway building program, was a strong one. Geary said President Eisen hower's national highway pro gram is not yet - sufficiently evolved for the states to plan their parts in it or their need for additional funds. He indicat ed that Oregon may find it nec essary in the future to increase its tax on gasoline even more than the two cents recommend ed by the highway commission. The truckers also heard Sen. John Hounsell, Hood River, and Sen. Phil Brady, Portland, speaking as panel members at the association's three-day con vention here.
