Ciy ..A Wisconsin (Political Leaders Prepare to Scrap Over Vacancy By GEORGE ARMOUR United Press Correspondent Madison, Wis. OI.PJ Wis consin political leaders Saturday prepared to scrap over the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's va cant seat in the U. S. Senate. The controversial senator's un expected death Thursday had brought leaders of both parties to a point they hadn't expected to arrive at until 1958. Candi dates were caught with their plans either unmade or half- formed. Republican Gov. Vernon Thomson was expected to order a special election, but not until some time after McCarthy's bur ial Tuesday and after a caucus with Wisconsin GOP Chairman Philip Kuehn on Thursday. Fall Election Seen An election date early next fall has been most frequently mentioned. Under state law, tha governor can not order in move than 70 days in advance. A rumor scurried about the legislature Friday that a special election would not be held, but that a measure would be intro duced to empower Thomson to appoint a successor to McCarthy. Other states have statutes simi lar to this. There is no shortage of exper ienced, but young, candidates in either party. The top Republican names are former Gov. Walter Kohler, former Rep. Glenn Davis and Lt. Gov. Warren Knowles. Kohler is considered an "Eis- 143 Motorists Have Hubcaps Marked About 143 . county motorists had hubcaps marked yesterday in a "hubcap identification pro gram" being held by the Med ford police department in co operation with the Southern Oregon Wheelers, a hot rod club.

Purpose of the program is to reduce the increased number of hubcap thefts in Medford, ac cording to city police.. Engraved hubcaps are permanent and do not detract from the beauty of the hubcap, they said. No charge is made for marking them. Obituaries MRS. ALICE R.

Davis is fully in tune with the party, but its endorsement last year failed to carry him to victory over veteran Sen. Alex ander Wiley " in the GOP pri mary. Davis served 10 years in Congress before taking on Wiley. Knowles also is popular with the state organization, although he is not as conservative as Dav is and has kept his name before the public with a tireless speak ing campaign. Thomson is Popular Thomson has been mentioned as a possible candidate by some on the ground that he is disen chanted with his administrative position and would like to be rid of the state's financial prob lems. Thomson was extremely popular as a legislator, but his standing has dropped somewhat with state GOP leaders since he has become governor. The Democrats, who have not elected a senator in Wisconsin since 1932, also have three top candidates. They are oft-beaten' Unemployment in Stale Listed at 36,400 by Group Salem (U.R) About 11,700 Oregon workers found jobs last month but 36,400 members of the labor force still were unem ployed May 1, the State Unem ployment Compensation commis sion said Saturday. More settled weather that brought wider farm activity and some seasonal expansion in con struction, lumber and logging was given as the main cause fo: the delayed spring pickup. Most . of the April improve ment came in downstate timber areas. Nearly 8,000 new jobs were reported from the Willam ette valley and other points west of the cascades. In eastern Ore gon, the best showing cams from Bend, Baker, Ontario, Kla math Falls and The Dalles. A Year Ago A year ago 28,000 persons were - estimated to have been seeking jobs. While the number of weekly claims from insured workers dropped nearly a third during the month, payments to eligible workers passed $2,900,000 for the highest April in the history of the commission. More than 20,000 continuations were re ceived last week at local offices many of which reported little demand for skilled workers in construction and lumber oper ations. ' A sluggish demand for wood products and delayed logging ac tivities in some sections because of continuing damp weathe' held back the usual pickup in seasonal operations. Some 3,000 persons found work in the Port land four-county area, but the number of jobseekers was 3,200 higher than a year ago.
