Ford of Michigan, center, talks with news men after he was voted chairman of the House GOP Caucus by a vote of 88 to 78. Ford replaces Rep. Charles B. Hoeven of Iowa. Ford's backers said the GOP "image" was in need of improvement. At lower left is House Minority Leader Charles Halleck of Indiana. (UPI) House Republicans Get New Leader; Other Changes Seen Washington - OJPI) - House Republicans went into the new session today with one "new image" leader in the saddle and the oldtimcr he un seated warning of more po litical bloodshed to come. The House Republican Con crence, a caucus of all GOP members, Tuesday ousted 67-year-old Rep. Charles B. Hoe ven of Iowa as its chairman. It gave the job to 40-year-old Kep. Gerald R. Ford of Michi gan, a House member since 1949. The vole was 88-78. Two members voted present and 10 of the 178 House Republicans were absent. Hocven's downfall after six years as conference chairman and 20 years in the House came suddenly and for rca sons subject to widely differ ing explanations. Deny Revolt The relatively junior Re- publicans who engineered it said the change was made to put "a little bit more aggres sive, dynamic leadership" in the GOP. They insisted it was an attempt to strengthen, rather than undercut, House GOP Leader Charles A. Hal leck of Indiana and Whip Les lie Arcnds of Illinois. Hoeven said it was a lot more than that. "I was picked as the lamb for the slaughter," he told newsmen.

Forestry Board To Ask Fund for Fire Protection Portland - Writ - The Stale Board of Forestry will ask the 1963 legislature for about $750,000 for fire protection on privately-owned lands in Ore gon, Slate Forester Dwight Phipps told the Oregon and California Grant Lands Advis ory Board here Tuesday. Phipps said the bill author izing the money will be intro duced later this month. It would provide slate protec tion in recognition of the ben efits the stale and the public derive from private forests. In the past, the landowners have paid the bill for forest fire protection. Critical Areas Mappod Phipps said limber knocked down by the Columbus Day windstorm could contribute to catastrophic fires this sum mer unless all forests in the slate are protected. He said (he State Departmenl of For estry has mapped the critical areas where protection is most needed. He said the maps also will be used to determine where public entry will be limited during the critical ire sea son from July through Sep tember. Rod Fcty, forest operations manager lor the U S. Bureau of Land Management, told the O&C panel that the HLM will sell l.;tlUUI(H.000 board feet of storm-fallen timber in the Inst 1R months alter the storm. "Snunpagc prices have held up remarkably well," be said, adding that the bulk of the salvage timber has yet to reach the market.

Move To Prevent Siphoning Power Out of Northwest Washington -WPH- Washing ton members of Congress fired their first shot today in a renewed battle to prevent needed electric power from being siphoned out of the Pa cific Northwest. Rep. Julia Butler Hansen KD-Wash.) introduced revised legislation to guarantee the Pacific Northwest first call on firm power produced at fed eral hydroelectric plants on the Columbia river. Mrs. Hansen was joined by a Republican colleague, Rep. Jack Westland, also of Wash ington, in sponsoring North west power preference legisla tion. The bill, Introduced shortly after Congress convened, dif fered only slightly from legis lation offered in the last Con gress. It is designed to pave the way for a power intertie that would carry power from Columbia , river dams as far south as Los Angeles. Mrs. Hansen and Westland said the measure was intend ed to protect firm power be ing delivered to Pacific North west industries by the Bonne ville Power Administration. Under present law, public power agencies in California would have priority over pri vate industry to firm power in the BPA system if it could be delivered to California. Mrs. Hansen said the legis lation would be among the most vital issues to come up in the new Congress from the viewpoint of the Pacific Northwest. She noted that California Democrats, with one excep tion, had supported legislation designed to allay fears that Northwest industry would be deprived of needed firm power. "We trust that we will again have the support of oth er westerners," Mrs. Hansen said. The new bill differed only slightly from the earlier ver sion. It would apply only to hydroelectric power and also would provide for 30-day no tice by the BPA to its custom ers when surplus power is to be sold outside the area. Sponsorship of the bill by Westland marked an attempt to overcome opposition by some California Republicans. Last year the bill was spon sored by Mrs. Hansen and Rep. Gracie Pfost, an Idaho Democrat who lost in a bid for a Senate scat. Intertie Inevitable Westland said it was "in evitable" that a power inter tie would be built between the Northwest and California, whether by the federal gov ernment or by private enter prise. If it is built wc vc got to find some way of protecting industry which has made big investments in the Pacific Northwest," he said. The Washington Republi can said he had talked with some Californians. He ex pressed belief that opposition from that state would be less ened this time. ' Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall already has announc ed that he will seek funds from Congress to begin con struction of an cxtra-bigh-voltagc direct current inter tie from the Columbia river to California.

PRINCE CARLOS, WIFE ATTEND ANNIVERSARY Atheni-a'PU-Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife. Princess Sophie, attended the silver wedding anniversary of King Paul and Queen Frederika of Greece today. Court circles said the prince and princess would return to Spain to settle their "for good." ARABIAN TROOPS TO LEAVE KUWAIT Damascus, Syri.-41IPII-S.udi Arabian troops will be with drawn from Arab league forces stationed in the oil-rich Sheikdom of Kuwait, according to a Saudi defense ministry communique broadcast by Mecca radio Tuesday night. The broadcast, monitored here, said the troops will be pulled out under an agreement with Kuwait. It did not say when. BRITISH LABOR LEADER SAID IMPROVING London-Wli-British Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell, 56, was reported slightly improved Tuesday night from a virus attack that has affected his lungs and heart. Gaitskell was hospitalised last Friday. A hospital state ment said signs of pleurisy and pericarditis were were still present in his condition, but that Gaitskell spent a "more restful" day Tuesday. through the House Ways and Means Committee. Jennings is one of three Democrats who arc competing for two vacant Democratic seats on the powerful commit tee. The new assignments - to be decided by House Demo crats at a caucus later this month - could determine the fate of Kennedy's medicare program in the 88th Congress. Medicare sponsors were un able to line up enough votes to squeeze even a skeletonized version through the commit tee in the last Congress. BOUND OVER Warren James Davis, 86 Vashti Way, Medford, was bound over to the grand jury after appearing in Jackson county district court yester day on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He waived right to an attor ney and posted $500 bail. Kennedy aides believe it is almost essential that the two new committee Democrats be supporters of the controver sial program if it is to be en acted by this Congress. "I generally favor some kind of medicare for the aged," Jennings said in an interview. He said that if such a program is enacted, he would favor financing it through new Social Security taxes. Although Jennings empha sized that he would not neces sarily support other features of the President's proposal, his statement aligned him closer to Kennedy's approach than the public position taken previously by the two other candidates for the committee posts. Rep. Ross Bass (D-Tenn.) has confined himself to say ing that he feels there is an unfilled need in this area. However, Democratic liberals and labor union lobbyists are fairly confident he would line up with the administration on a showdown vote. The third candidate, Rep. Phil Landrum (D-Ga.) has given no indication whether he would support or oppose new legislation in this field. For this reason, Democratic liberals and labor lobbyists have feared that Landrum, as a member of the Ways and Means Committee, might join in blocking action on medicare.

Meredith was greeted with jeers and catcalls for the second succes sive night at the University of Mississippi cafeteria Tues day night. About 25 of 100 students walked out after the 29-year-old Air Force veteran arrived at the cafeteria, focal point of rowdy demonstrations against Meredith last fall un til the university threatened stern disciplinary action.
