r if BIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE U.S. Foreign Policy, Defense Seen as Top Issues for Congress Washington U.R) Senate Democrats Saturday tied their hopes for preserving their newly-found party unity to the be lief that Foreign and Defense .policies will be the overriding issues in the new Congress. On those issues, it can be re- ' ported, they view themselves as a united party confronting deeply-split Republican opposition. On foreign policy at least, they Autopsy Ordered in Death of Wealthy Florida Resident Marathon, Fla. (U.B An au topsy has been ordered into the death of millionaire Harold A. Clark whose body was found Friday floating in a muddy pool on his estate. Coroner R. D. Zetterower said Clark's body showed no indica- the autopsy to determine the cause of death. The body was taken to Key West for examina tion. Mrs. Clark said her 59-year old husband wandered from a party at their estate Thursday. She said she presumed he went to a nearby lodge house to sleep, as he had done frequently in the past, and no alarm was given until Friday morning. The estate caretaker, John Zivin, found Clark's body lying face down in a shallow pool near a boat dock. The clark estate fronts the Gulf of Mexico. Clark, a millionaire hotel owner with widespread real es tate holdings in south Florida, accumulated an independent for tune through several inventions - before he was 30. His chief in ' vention was an oil seal for auto motive engines. Owned Race Horses He was one of the original di rectors of Gulfstream Park Race Track and had his own string of horses which he raced under the name of the Louisiana Farm ; Stables. He recently completed plans for the Tranquil Key Cemetery at Marathon, and his funeral . will be the first held there. Besides his wife, Charlotte, . gurvivors include a son, Harold '. A.

PATRONIZE expect to provide a greater measure of support for Presi dent Eisenhower than the GOP will. Regain Unity After 15 years of internal quarreling, the Democrats re gained a high degree of unity while they spent two years in a minority role. Having recap tured control of the House and Senate in the Nov. 2 elections, they will have their new unity put to a more severe test because they must take responsibility for the Congressional program. Many believe, however, that Foreign and Defense policies will so overshadow other issues that any revival of their old divi sions will seem insignificant. The Democrats regard Presi dent Eisenhower's foreign trade program as the major piece of unfinished business to be han dled next year. On this issue, too, they see themselves as large ly united in support of the ad ministration while the GOP is divided. , Policy of Caution With Senate Democratic Lead er Lyndon B. Johnson calling the signals, they can be expected to follow a policy of great cau tion in drawing the issues dur ing the next two years. John son's battle plans call for de veloping them in a way that Democrats can unite and win. For example, Democratic Sen ators voted unanimously last year to send the administration's Taf t - Hartley amendment bill back to the Labor Committee. This vote saw friends and foes of the law joining to vote for re commital for different reasons. The Democrats would appear to be facing a much tougher job if they try to pass a labor bill of their own during the next two years. To present a united front then, they would have to find a formula to bring labor partisans together with those conservative Democrats who believe tne i.aii- Hartley law is too easy on unions.

THE DEALER WHO PROVIDES Sunday, December 28. 1954 Society Debs Make Bows in Washington By' HELEN THOMAS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The "deb" season is in full swing in the nation's capital. With finishing school behind them and their parents proudly watching, the younger beauties most. of them in their late teens are in the midst of bow ing formally to society. A girl doesn't nave to "come out" to be "in"" Washington's young social whirl. But it helps. And senators, diplomats, cabi net members and moneyed local residents like to give their young daughters that social stamp of approval. Senators' Daughters on List Among those bowing to so ciety before the end of the year are: ; Imelda Chavez Miller, blonde granddaughter of Sen. Dennis Chavez (D.-N. Mex.); Marie Abell Butler, daughter of Sen. John Butler, (R.-Md.); . Lee Slingluff Symington, cousin of Sen. Stuart Symington, (D.-Mo.). The capital has no junior edi tion of Perle Mesta, but there's plenty,' of professional assistance when a girl is ready for her debut. Typical of the party planners is 31-year-old Mary Stuart Mon tague Price, once a "deb'-' her self. Miss Price said a debutante party no longer announces that a girl is on the marriage block. Nowadays, it is just a round of fun before the girls settle down to the grind of a college career. apa Pays Bill For papa, it's sometimes a big price to pay. But for the "debt" life is one big whirl. She is squired about town maybe by a handsome aide from the White House or a Navy midshipman from Annapolis. She is cut in on by a stag line a mile long. And all she has to do is mind her manners and look her prettiest. Miss Price and other social experts do the rest. They plan the party to the penny . . . make all the arrangements . . . and permit the anxious parents to come as guests. When a "deb" reaches the ripe old age of 19 or 20 and is call ed a "post-deb," Miss Price makes sure she doesn't go out of circulation. She keeps these girls on her list, and carefully provides escorts if necessary. ' Miami Beach, Fla., has 580 parking places for every 1,000 cars registered, highest in the na tion.

Many go no further than two blessed events. It may be this fact has prevented many couples from having a remark able child. Caruso was the 18th child of his parents, John Wes ley, the 15th.

Roland Harriman Queen Elizabeth Says Commonwealth Ties Transcend London (U.R) Queen Eliza beth II said Saturday the world is enveloped in "the darkness of uncertainty and doubt" but that family ties and the bond of the British Commonwealth helped to transcend "the storm which sometimes seems to be brewing outside." ' The Queen was making her an nual Christmas broadcast to the British Commonwealth from her country home at Sandringham. She spoke, in simple phrases and a calm clear voice, from the tiny study where her father, King George VI used to . make his broadcasts to the nation during the war. The Queen noted that this was the first time in two years that she and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, had been able to spend Christmas with their children. She recalled the "kindness and friendship" with which she was surrounded last Christmas at Auckland, N. Z., during her world-circling tour, but added: "Nevertheless, to all of us there is nothing quite like the family gathering in familiar, sur roundings centered on the chil dren whose festival this truly is, in the traditional atmosphere of love and happiness that springs from the enjoyment of simple well-tried things." Most of her broadcast was a tribute to the little man "You 117 S. T ftf said the largest single expense was $37,183,381 for services to members of . the armed forces and veterans. He said loans and grants to servicemen overseas were up 95 per cent over the previous year. In addition to financial help, the program for present and for mer members of the armed forces includes aid in solving family problems, assistance in applying for government benefits and recreation in military hospitals. Difficulty whose lot is cast in dull and un envied surroundings." "Perhaps one of the most striking facts of our time," she said, "is that in this anxious and active world many people are leading uneventful, lonely lives. "To them dreariness, not dis aster, is the enemy. They seldom realize that on their steadfast ness, on their ability to with stand the fatigue of dull repeti tive work and on their courage in meeting constant small ad versities depend in great meas ure the happiness and prosperity of the community as a whole.
