Sees Socialist Leader ! The 30 -year -old monarch conferred unexpectedly Wed nesday night with Socialist party President Leo Collard at Iacken Palace, just outside Brussels. No one would say which one asked for the meeting but it was their second talk since the King returned from a shortened honeymoon last week. Baudouin also has met with Eyskens twice, ; Although life in this coun try of 9 million people re mained half-crippled by left ist-led strikes, it was clear Eyskens' govern ment had enough support to hang on. i Government Trump Card The refusal of Catholic la bor unions to Join the walk outs was a major, trump card for the government. The Cath olic unions claim about 730, 000 members, slightly more than the Socialist unions. The government's forceful security action, including sa ber charges by mounted gen darmes, has succeeded in blunting mass leftwing dem onstrations and marches in Brussels and other leading cities. j Regional Edition Medford, Page 2A MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1061 Deal Sought To Head Off Purge Of Southerners Washington (UPI Moderate House Democrats searched to day for a compromise that would !ead off a bruising battle by SpeakereSum Ray burn to purge party-bolting Mississippi Democrats from posts of congressional power. Informed sources said Ray burn already has been offered some concessions but has re ectcd thorn because they fell short of the price the power ful Texas Democrat wants for a peaceable settlement. The real issue is whether Rayburn, leader of the Demo cratic party in the House; or Rep. Howard W. Smith (D Va.), a leader of the biparti san coservative coalition, is going to control the House Rules Committee for the next two years. Smith is chairman of the committee. War of Nerves Rayburn has passed the word he will lead a liberal drive to purge Rep. William M. Colmer (D-Miss.), a Smith ally, from the committee un less the strangle-hold over liberal legislation held by Smith, in the last Congress, is broken through a less pain ful method. The rules commit tee controls the flow of bills to the House floor and can pigeon-hole measures it does not like. ' . Keeping his own counsel in the "war of nerves" with Smith, Rayburn announced no time-table for threatened purge but let it be known that it would not be launched before next week. In the meantime, the organization of House committees was at a standstill. The proposed compromise. which Rayburn was said to have rejected, was put for ward by an intermediary anxious to avoid the party splitting battle. The purge once started is likely to en compass three other Missis sippi Democrats who, with Colmer, fought the national party ticket in the November e 1 e c 1 1 o n Reps. Jaime L. Whittcn, Arthur Winstead and John Bell Williams. The rejected compromise believed acceptable to Smith and Colmer would have kept the conservative coalition in control of the rules committee with thesei two concessions: No Pigeon-Hole Pledge A pledge that the com mittee would not pigeon-hole any of the five-point legisla tive program to which President-elect John F. Kennedy has assigned . top priority. These measures would in clude federal aid for educa tion and for communities with chronic unemployment, medi cal care for the elderly, libe ralization of the minimum wage law and expanded out lays for slum clearance. A change in rules that would strip the rules commit tee of any power to block leg islation after it has passed both the House and Senate. At present, approval of the rules committee is necessary before a majority of the House can arrange for Senate-House negotiations to iron out differ ences between bills approved by the two chambers. The committee used this power, in the last Congress, to scuttle a new federal aid for education program.

Kennedy today summoned his top economic advisers and farm experts to draft plans to pep up the na tional economy on the farm and factory fronts. His first major conference of the day was with nine farm organization leaders in his Carlyle hotel suite. Vice President-elect Lyndon B. Johnson, Agriculture Secretary-designate Orville Free man, af)d the chairmen of the House and Senate agriculture committees, Rep. Harold Coo ley (D-Nj C), and Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), joined the talks.

Samuelson has been directing a task force study for Kenne dy on economic problems that will face the new administra tion. A report being assembled by Samuelson will be an im portant key to early economic planning by the new administration. Th agriculture meeting dealt with what Kennedy re garded as a continuing farm crisis involving a painful cost price squeeze on the consum ers as well as the producers of the nation's food and fiber. Khrushchev Calls For German Treaty Bonn, Germany-fUPD-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Wednesday renewed his call for "neighborly" coexistence with West Germany and a German peace treaty. In a reply to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's New Year's greeting, Khrushchev sajd a peace treaty would "have a particularly fruitful effect on relations between our states." Wost fiermanv maintains that a peace treaty can only be signed by a freely-elected all-German government. SEAPLANE PATfR)L Miami-IUPll-The U.S. Coaij Guard said Wednesday it had begun daily seaplane patrols off the 'Florida Keys as far south as Dry Tortugas to watch for Cuban refugee ves sels in distress. Press Secretary Pierre Sa linger said Kennedy wbj "mystified" by reports that "the pressure" had been brought upon him by south ern Democrats to appoint Gov, Ernest Vandiver of Georgia to the post of secretary of the Army. Salinger said Vandiver was one of the men still under consideration. Kennedy and Secretary of Defense - desig nate Robert McNamara dis cussed this at their meeting Wednesday night but no an nouncement was expected un til nejt week. 0 Vaiimver said in Atlanta today that he is too busy in Georgia, where his "first duty" lines, to consider the Army job.
