o o Gaitskeii Seeks To Delay Eden's U.S. Trip To Debate Arms Matter London (U.R) Laborite , wav for Britain to interfere with leader Hugh Gaitskeii said today Belgium trade. Eden has prom he will try to force Prime Minis- ised that future exports of sur- ter Anthonv Eden to rjostDone i Plus arms wlU be banned unless his trip to Washington unless he calls a special session of Parli , ament to debate arms shipments to Egypt. 3 Eden promised yesterday his government will publish "ah the facts" about the arms shipments, but he refused to consider the idea of a parliamentary debate before his planned departure for the United States Jan. 24 or 25. "The Prime Minister's reply la most unsatisfactory" Gaitskeii said angrily last night. "There must be a debate at the earliest possible moment, before the Prime Minister and foreign sec retary (Selwyn Lloyd) go to America. "The matter cannot be left like this. I shall consider with my colleagues what further ac tion to take." Eden Might Yield Eden has a big enough major ity in Parliament to ignore po litical sniping by the opposition, but there is about an even chance he will knuckle under to Gait skell's demands either by call ing a special session or by de laying his trip. Lloyd was busy today confer ring with British ambassadors to Tialf a dozen Mideastern coun tries, who were summoned home to report on the arms situation and other current problems in the perenially troubled area. The arms furor, which is being exploited to the utmost by the Laborites, began when it was discovered that war surplus weapons purchased in Britain were- being shipped from Bel gium to Egypt. Violates Regulation! ' The shipments violated British regulations, but there was no the government of the country receiving them promises they will not be re-exported Gaitskeii is demanding, how ever, that Britain halt all arms shipments to Egypt because that country is receiving military aid from the Communists.

McCarthy Offers To Assist Candidates Washington (U.R) Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.), who sat out the 1954 election, said to day he will campaign this year for any hard-pressed Republican Senate candidate who asks his help; McCarthy, whose terms runs until 1958, told newsmen that he will "take part ... in any state where these is a close contest aud the Republican senator j wants me to come in." So far, he said, he has re quests from candidates or their backers in "at least eight states!" But he would not specify the candidates. No Committee Request The Wisconsin Republican said he has no requests from the GOP National Committee or the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, though the Senate group has relayed some individ ual requests to him. McCarthy took no part in the last election beyond expressing his distaste for Sen. Clifford P Case (R-N.J.), who was then a candidate and had made state ments against McCarthy. This year, McCarthy said, he will stress his Communists-in-government theme in opposing Democratic candidates. But he indicated tnat if he campaigns. on the record of the Eisenhow er administration, he will do so because he considers it "much better than the previous Demo cratic administration if that could be called campaigning on the record." Record Would Be Belter McCarthy,- a frequent critic of the GOP 'administration, said: "If they (the administration) could get rid of the Paul Hoff mans and the Harold Stassens and the Milton Eisenhowers, the record would be much better." The three have been frequent McCarthy targets. Hoffman, board chairman of Studebaker-Packard Co. and an early 1952 Eisenhower backer, was once head of the foreign aid program. Stassen, presidential assistant on disarmament, also once headed foreign aid and clashed often with McCarthy. Milton Eisenhower is the President's youngest brother and ene of his closest advisers.

High Steak Prices Due To Light Fail Beef Market Chicago (U.R) - If you've ever wondered why prime sir loin steak costs more in the fall than in the spring, here's the answer. It's simply that more prime and choice cattle come to mar ket in the spring than in the fall, according to the National Live Stock Producer, a live stock publication. The magazine said spring is when farmers sell the cattle they have been fattening with corn all winter. The bigger supply of top grade cattle means the price will be lower. There's a comparative short age of prime cattle in the fall because cattle sold at that time of the year have been fed on grass all summer and are not as fat as spring cattle. Wednesday, January 4, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Josephine Groups Seek Flood Control Grants Pass A resolution seeking an early detailed survey of the Rogue "River basin for making plans for flood control was passed by a group of inter ested parties here late last week. " Representatives of the Grants Pass and Josephine County Chamber of Commerce, .sports men's and civic organizations, city officials of Grants Pass and officials of Josephine county adopted the resolution. They asked .that Army en gineers conduct a comprehensive survey for flood control pro grams in the Rogue basin and that the survey and planning be made in cooperation with the bureau of reclamation and other interested agencies, including the Oregon State Game commis sion' and the State water re sources board. The resolution asked - that planning take into consideration alternate methods of flood con trol, particularly whether it can be accomplished by dams on tributary streams or must be done by one high dam. Earlier last week, county courts of Jackson and Josephine counties adopted a resolution seeking information from Army engineers concerning flood con trol possibilities in the Rogue River basin. The resoliftions were forward ed to interested congressmen and government officials in Washington. The golden eagle has a range from the Arctic regions to south ern Mexico.
