Senators Tangle Over Labor BHI Marshfield, Wis. -OB- Tw Democratic senators - Wayne Morse of Oregon and William Proxmire of Wisconsin - tan gled Monday over the labor reform bill. The Wisconsin legislator ac cused Morse of "unbalanced arrogant extremism." Morse countered by saying he would answer Pro xm ire's "personal attack" in .Wisconsin "in the reasonably foreseeable fu ture." . . 'Proxmire said he will de mand equal time if Morse car ries out his plan. Morse apparently kicked off the controversy during an Oct. 14 , speech "in which " he blamed ' Sen. John . Kennedy (D-Mass.) for passage of the bill Morse called the "Ken-nedy-Landrum-Griffin law." Proxmire, who Toted for the compromise measure, said the words of Morse and cer tain -labor leaders "speak elo quently" for the need of the labor reform bill. , I Washlngton-fflFD - The Fed eral Housing and Home Fi nance agency Monday grant ed a $119,000 loan to the Hol-comb-Outlook water district or Clackamas county, Ore., for construction of water distribu tion facilities.

GRIGG United Press International London-OIPB-The shattered British Labor party, trying to pick up the pieces after its third straight pasting by the Conservatives in . a general election,- is deep in an "agon izing reappraisal" of its fu ture. ; - The first formal party soul- searching begins at a meeting of the Labor party's: national executive committee today and will be resumed at an abbreviated annual confer ence soon. The exact date has not been announced. One thing, however, is re garded as certain no matter what the outcome of the in quest, party chief Hugh Gait- skell even in defeat will re main Labor's unchallenged leader. Draws Large Crowds ' .

" ; However, within a week of the election the extreme left ist wing opened a campaign aimed at pushing the Labor party, sharply to the left. The weekly magaine "Trib une," organ of the Labor party's extreme leftists, sharp iy criticized Gaitskell's mod erating influence of socialist thinking. The magazine ; an nounced it was sending its "brain trust" into action again to take the message of true socialism to the public. . Brain's TrusV ,r The "brain's trust" was forced to suspend operations "several months ago because it flouted official Labor party policy. ' ' One of Tribune's editors is left-winger Jennie Lee, wife of one-time laborite firebrand Aneurin Bevan. The Tribune outburst touched off reports that Bevan is preparing to lead a "back-to-the left" re volt . against Gaitskell ,. and other Labor party moderates. However, political experts forsee no early split in the party's ranks or sudden swing to the left or right. Any' such development, they believe, will - be a long-time process that may take several years.- Within days 'after the gen eral . election Gaitskell and other top-flight laborites launched a behind-the-scenes Xl ' '- SUT GEE, FELLOWS Net result of a raid on a -Los Angeles garage apartment was 17 persons, two dope peddlers, 70 capsules of heroin and one small puppy which is shown as police "attempt" to handcuff him.

Already, a "great debate" has boiled up inside the party's ranks ,- on such questions as: - Is the labor party finished and doomed to extinction,' as some observers predicted im mediately after the election? Will it swing to the left or to the jright, or split? . Will it link up with the resurgent liberals to form a new left-of-center but non Marxist British radical party? Idea of Link-Up : . The idea of a link-up be tween the liberals and labor's right wing has been widely discussed. . , ' . , Liberal party chief Jo, Gri mond; without waiting for the dust of the Oct. 8 general elec tion to subside, rushed in with a bid for a merger. He. called for a "new progressive move ment," stripped of the taint of socialism, that might replace the labor party as the main opposition group and ulti mately might become Brit ain's future government. ' - Gaitskell and the party's of ficial leaders have ignored the proposal, which even the lib er a 1 Manchester Guardian said sounded like a "shot-gun marriage." - , But it is being tossed around actively by labor, rank-and-filers. - Paul Johnson, . a young la borite writer and intellectual, argued in. the Evening Stand ard and in a televised panel discussion that labor's defeat at the polls was due to the fact that its - non-Socialist right wing, ..' which , can not stomach nationalization of key industries, deserted to the liberals and even to the "con servatives. Achieving Office "If the Socialists are ever again to achieve office," he asserted, "the right wing will have to be recovered, no mat ter what the price in terms of policy and personalities."" But Arthur Bottomley, a former Laborite backbencher who lost his House of Com mons seat in the election bliz zard, took ;the opposite line that it would be "disastrous'' for the labor party to aban don socialism or its trades union support in order to win back the middle-class voters. The suggestion also was re jected sharply, by Bevan, the once fiery left-winger who, at 62, has settled down to ,a calmer "elder -statesman's" role in the labor party. Bevan blamed the "Ameri canization" of the three mil lion . voters aged between ,21 and 30 for labor's debacle but insisted the party must stick to its principles even at the risk of losing the younger voters permanently. - By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter Washington - (UPD - Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower amazed his staff by talking at such length in Augusta, Ga., last week about his chronic bronchitis, his acute cold and what he tolds report ers had been a "flu attack" which sent him to California in late September. There were several reasons behind the surprise of those who know the President well: They knew he had been feeling badly before he went to ;Palm Springs, but there was nothing about his beha vior and appearance to indi cate the broad range of ail ments he described in a press conference. His associates were . not alarmed, but amused. . One man who has been close to the President for years laughed and said, "I can just -imagine the howls that would have gone up from the President, and Mamie, , too, if some newspaper had come out and stated on its own au thority that the President was suffering from the, ailments he ticked off, himself, so gaily. in public." Eisenhower in the past year or two has almost never men tioned his 1955 heart attack. Those Who know him well say he doesn't even think of his coronary condition with any frequency as so many heart patients are prone to do. Thus these people were surprised to hear him talking about his cold with the pride of a gabby housewife with a fresh surgi cal incision. Eisenhower was sad enough about the miserable weather he encountered in Georgia last week, but not nearly as miserable about it as his pi lot and Air Force aide, Col. William Draper. Draper was the man who relayed to the President the Start Your Christmas gift shopping early at HAPCO!

Weather Bureau fore cast that outside of one cloudy and " possibly damp day, most of the period from the time of the President's arrival last Wednesday until his r departure from .Georgia promised to be - warm and sunny. What undid Draper and the feather forecasters was an ir ritatingly unpredictable low pressure area that pressed up against the East Coast and kept Augusta well " supplied with rain most of- the time Eisenhower was there. . There was only one consola tion for Eisenhower. The wea ther in Washington during the same period .'was even worse. . Someone reported, from the rain-soaked Augusta National Golf club where Eisenhower stayed, that the weather was so wet that ; the golfers stopped calling "fore'.' from the tee. They shouted "ahoy" instead. ' ' ' ' - Someone also asked Jim Hagerty whether Draper had been demoted from the rank of colonel because of the lousy weather.
