o O O EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, January 24, 195S Ike, George Fail To Heal Breach On Aspects of Foreign Policy Washington U.R) Demo crats and Republicans remained split over some aspects of for eign policy today despite the President's effort Xo heal the breech at a meeting with Sen. "Walter F. George. The influential Georgia Dem ocrat, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, de clined to discuss details of his one-hour talk late Monday with Mr. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who was present most of the time. Opposition Not Softened But observers gained the im pression that George, chief Dem ocratic foreign policy spokes man in Congress, had not soften ed in his determined opposition to the President's proposal for putting foreign aid on a basis of long-term commitments. Reporters planned to question Dulles about the White House meeting at the secretary's news conference today. George said he was only pay ing a "private, social call" on the President and that any com ment on what they discussed would have to come from Mr. Eisenhower. But it was obvious in advance that the goodwill visit was aim ed at trying to enlist George's support of a long-term foreign aid commitments and at soft ening Democratic criticism - of Dulles' "brink of war" state ments.

International) Primaries Not To Be Accurate Indication Of Knowland Strength Washington (u.R) Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland was edging into state presidential primaries today but under conditions which provid ed no accurate measure of his strength. If President Eisenhower de cides to run again, Knowland will support him. If the Presi dent declines because of his heart attack, Knowland's early showing will offer no gauge of his strength in relation to other possible candidates. Entered in Two Primaries The California senator's name was entered Monday in the Il linois GOP presidential primary April 10 and in the Alaska pri mary April 24. Gov. William G. Stratton previously had entered Mr. Eisenhower in Illinois. In neither Illinois nor Alaska is a candidate's consent required nor are the votes binding on the delegates. Knowland's name was entered in both without any advance declaration of candidacy although he has long been known to be a candidate if Mr. Eisen hower should decide to retire. Knowland responded by an nouncing that he would not ask that his name be withdrawn. He cited "uncertainties" about Mr. Eisenhower's intentions and the fact that the President had in vited other possible candidates to enter state primaries. No Other Intentions Known No other potential Republican candidates have shown Know- Really Board Leaders Take Office Tonight Seven officers of the Medford Realty board will be installed at a dinner meeting at 7:30 p.m. to day in the Medford hotel.

" The number of telephones in the U. S. has grown phenome nally from about 21,000,000 in 1940 to something more than 53,000,000 during 1955. Use Tribune Want Ads land's willingness to enter pres idential primaries, and none is expected to do so while Mr. Eis-: enhower's plans remain un known. Hence, until Mr. Eisenhower announces his plans, there is little chance of getting a vote on a number of candidates in the primaries. Both the Presi dent and Knowland have pro fessed to want such a vote. The Knowland vote in Illinois would have to be regarded in part as a measure of dissatisfac tion with Mr. Eisenhower's pol icies rather ' than '-a test of his strength against other potential candidates.
