(U.R) Russia proposed today that the United Nations set up an eight nation negotiating committee to draft a new treaty guaranteeing freedom of passage through the Suez Canal. Soviet Foreign Minister Dmit ri Shcpilov suggested informally that the committee should com prise Egypt, Britain, India, Rus sia, France, the United States, Yugoslavia and Iran or Indon esia and Sweden. Shcpilov's suggestion came aft er Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi rejected the proposal of Britain and France that the UN Security Council endorse the London Conference proposal to internationalize the canal. Fawzi also suggested a ne gotiating committee. Shepilov said the committee could be instructed to draft a treaty to replace the Convention of 1888 governing Suez Canal traffic and be instructed to pre pare an international conference "to be attended by all countries using the Suez Canal" to consid er and approve the new compact. Shepilov, like Fawzi, rejected the plans to internationalize the Suez and pointedly remarked the Panama Canal was controlled by one country the United States. Shepilov accused "American oil monopolies" of planning to take over -he administration of the canal under a "consortium." Accused of J5a bo tag Fawzi accused Britain . and France of acts of sabotage against the operation of the canal. These, he said, included refusing to pay tolls and instigating non-Egyptian pilots to walk off their jobs. Fawzi, presenting the Egyp tian case in the second day of the Council's Suez debate; offer ed solution but proposed a set of principles that might be consid ered by "a negotiating body of reasonable size." Britain and France last Fri day submitted a resolution ask ing the Council to endorse the London Conference proposals to Internationalize the waterway and to urge Egypt to deal with the western-formed Suez Canal Users Association while negoti ating a final settlement with the West.

Morse-McKay Feud Becomes More (Editor's note: This Is first of a series of dispatches on the most im portant and mterestinr of the election battles across the nation.) By JACK KERR United Press Correspondent Portland, Ore. (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse has described President Eisenhower as "the most, dangerous man ever to have been in the White House." Morse has charged Mr. Eisen hower with being "completely lacking in all political morality." And to back up his words with action, he has dropped the Re publican label on which he was elected six years ago ana De come an out-and-out Democrat. That is why Wayne Morse to day is the one man outside of Aa'lai Stevenson the Republi cans most want to beat in the Price 10c Tribune .

McKeon was placed in confinement today to serve a three-month sentence ap proved by the Secretary of the Navy for leading a death march on which six Marine recruits drowned, April 8. Nov. 6 election. It explains why the Oregon senatorial contest has developed into the most bit ter political campaign in the state's 97-year history. To try to beat him. President Eisenhower personally called on his secretary of interior, Ore gon's former Governor Douglas McKay, to leave the cabinet and go back to his home state to siug it out. Slugging is precisely what Morse and McKay have been doing. Old timers cannot recall a campaign marked by such a hail of personal invective. McKay has called Morse a "turncoat" and "an irresponsible egocentric." hitting at his voting with the Democrats to organize the Senate two years ago while Stevenson Appeals For Funds To Pay For TV Broadcasts 'Dollars for Memos' Day Scheduled Oct. 16 Chicago (U.R) Adlai E.

The presidential candidate took to the telephone to appeal to Democratic chairmen of the 48 states and the District of Co lumbia to drum up enthusiasm for "Dollars for Democrats Day" Oct. 16. Stevenson said the Oct. 16 door-bell-ringing drive for small contributions "is an urgent mis sion, second only to getting out the votes on election day." "I need not tell you that so far our overall campaign has been progressing well," he said. "All around us we sense a rising tide of optimism, which is com pletely justified. Says He Is Winning "We are winning the cam paign. But we must not be allow ed to run out of gas. We must continue to use this valuable, and costly, medium of television to keep talking sense to the Ameri can voter. "And right now, we are grave ly concerned over lack of funds to pay for this vital television communication," Stevenson said. Stevenson said he hoped that nearly 500,000 Democrats would take part in the fund drive work ing 24 hours "and longer if nec essary." He said money raised will be used to- buy TV time so that he and his running mate. Sen. Estes Kefauver, can carry their campaign "into 38 million television homes" before election day. Big Phone Set-up Stevenson placed the calls from his country home at Liber tyville. 111., northwest of here. Telephone company officials said more than 40,000 miles of wires, cables and microwave systems and 21 phone companies were involved in the complicated hook up.

Bulletin Washington (U.R) The Defense Department hat de cided to recommend an end to the doctors' draft next year, a representative of the Ameri can Medical Association said today. ; he was still a Republican. Morse has labelled McKay the "hand picked tool" of the White House. There are important basic is sues in the Oregon contest, the principal one being public pow er, conservation and federal aid to education. But the one over riding issue is Morse's personal hostility toward Mr. Eisenhower. Morse is one of the most color ful men in the Senate. He can be suave, articulate, urbane, the master of the well-turned phrase and the headline catching wordH He is former dean of the Univer sity of Oregon Law School. But he also can be a hot-tempered scrapper and he is the Senate's filibuster champion. McKay is a folksy, homespun politician, but he is just as tough 2-0 WIN GIVES YANKEES LEAD New York (U.R) Big Don Larsen pitched the first perfect game in World Series history today. He did not allow a single Brooklyn batter to reach base as he shut out the Dodgers 2-0 to give the New York Yankees a three game to two lead in the 1956 classic. Larsen threw only 97 pitches as he turned back 27 Dodgers in a row, seven of them on strikeouts as he made a fourth inning home run by Mickey Mantle and another Yankee run scored in the sixth inning stand up to put the Yankees ahead in the series for the first time. Brilliant Fielding Makes Win Possible So perfect was Larsen 's hurling that he threw three balls to only one batter Pee Wee Reese in the first inning. Then with a three-two count he slipped a third called strike by the Dodger shortstop. It took brilliant fielding by his teammates to make his perfect game possible. In the second inning, Jackie Robinson hit a hard ground ball to the left of third baseman Andy Carey which looked like a hit. But Carey got his glove on the ball and deflected it to shortstop Gil McDougald who threw Robinson out at first. Close Foul Ball Save Home Run In the fifth. Mantle made a diving catch in deep left centerfield to rob Gil Hodges of an extra base hit and the next batter, Sandy Amoros, then lined what looked like it might be a home run down the right field line. But at the last minute the ball curved foul by inches. Mantle's homer his third of the series and his eighth in series play was the first hit given up by Maglie, who lost a heart breaker. The 39-year-old Dodger curve ball specialist, who had won the first game of the series, gave up only five hits. But the first one would have been enough for the tall good looking Larsen. Mantle's count was two and two when he cirove a Maglie curve ball into the stands. v Insurance Run Added in Sixth Inning In the sixth, the Yankees added an insurance run when Carey led off with a single. With two strikes on him, Larsen sacrificed Carey to second, from where he scored on Hank Bauer's single. Maglie was to shut out the Yankees after that, getting the last three hitters he faced in the eighth inning on strikes. But as good as his pitching was, it was no match for Larsen's.

He resigned in 1952 to enter Ike's cabinet. : This is the toughest battle either man has ever been in. They recognize it as such.

McKay charges his opponent with complete instability, accus ing him of consistent absentee ism in the Senate and with "con stantly changing positions on any and all issues." Morse won two previous Sen ate terms as a Republican with ease. It was obvious much of his support even then came from Democrats, especially among the laboring groups. Since his break with the GOP, many of his for mer supporters, including most of the state's newspapers, have turned against him. The outcome of this race is anybody's guess but it's a cinch the whole nation will be waiting for it on a Tuesday night sbout four weeks hence.
