a9 i 3 ( ;! si . Disagreement By PETER KNOX United Presi International London - H'PI) - One big reason why Harold Macmil lan remains Prime Minister is that his Conservative party followers can agree In no one to replace him in what may be an election year. Depuay Prime Minister Richard A. Butler has been a candidate for the top job since before Macmillan mov ed into 10 Downing street seven years ago. Science Minister Lord Hailsham is a popular favorite. Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling is waiting in the wings. But none has the grip over Tory rank and file or the okay of the party's elder statesman to bounce 69-year-old Macmillan. However, virtually all British politi cians believe one of them sooner or later will make it despite Macmillan's recently stated hope of leading the party into the general elec tion he must call before October, 1964. The recent Profumo scan dal did more than reveal some moral untidiness in high places. It showed the lack of a logical successor to Macmil lan. When some backbench conservative members o f parliament demanded Mac rnillan quit in favor of a youngor man, they won much attention until they found their colleagues could agree on no replacement. But the candidates or their backers are busy in the backrooms now. Maudling, al 46 the young est of the major.- contenders, is currently a betting favo rite. A tall easy-going father of four, he has made few enemies in the party-as has Butler whose postwar drive to liberalize party policies succeeded at the cost of earn ing him some powerful foes. Maudling proved himself a n able administrator a s President of the Board of Trade (akin to the U. S. it M . 1 ZT.

Butler, 60; Commerce department), Min ister of Colonies and Supply Minister. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, guardian of the nation's economy, he hopes to capitalize on an ex pected summer spurt of pros perity. There are some buts, however. Some MP's say Maudling is too easy going. "Dawdling Maudling" is their byword. Others say he lacks the ora torical punch that means so much in parliament. His comparative youlh is a help and a hindrance. Some say he fits neatly into the younger "Kennedy era." But others say his getting the leadership now would bar rivals from having a shot at the top for two decades or more. This of course helps Butler, who is 60. Butler has been in the core of party leadership since the late 1930's. A quiet man in public, he nevertheless has the reputation of a cracker jack administrator. And, al though his oratory rarely raises an emotional response in his audience, his church deacon and old uncle man ner find a ready response in HISTORY 5S room. ly I $9895 1 WALKEK the WEEPIK TRAILER 1243 South Riverside "Mobile MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY. JULY IS, 1963 g in Party Keeps Harold AAacmillan Prime Minister frq MS fSw Chancellor of Maudling, 46; (UPI) the conservative party. His progressive policies find youthful backing. But pos sibly, they already have cost him the Downing street ad dress. When then Sir Anthony Eden quit as Prime Minister in December, 1956, the nation went to bed thlnKIng Butler would be his successor. But Queen Elizabeth, whose choice is virtually dictated by the will of conservative party elders in such matters, cal led on Macmillan. Few doubt ed Butler's liberaitom-which Macmillan embraced to the horror of some elders-cost him the job. It may do so again. The third man in the major running is Lord Hailsham. His often angry oratory, his bluntness and his successful trouble-shooting have won him widespread support at grass roots level. But he counts for less where it really counts-among the party's M. P.'s, some of them regard him as too fiery. There is also the matter of 55-ycar-old Hailsham being a Lord.

How ever a new law -allowing Lords to renounce their titles and run for seats in the House of Commons-is expected to be written into law soon, and Hailsham is waiting. The dark horses include: -Ian MacLeod, 49, leader of the House of Commons and party chairman. Tipped as the next Prime Minister only two years ago, his chances have slumped in line with the party's standing in public opinion polls and parlia mentary by-elections. A mas ter bridge player, the little Scotsman is still regarded as a man with a future. -Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath, the same age as Maudling but often regarded as a fallen star. He held the spotlight while leading Brit ain's bid for Common Market membership. The failure of that bid became his failure too. Also Heath is a bachelor -and this is considered a handicap in the time of the Profumo scancjal. -Health Minister Enoch Powell, a 50-year-old intel lectual and man of trouble- some principle.

Nixon visited t h e American legation and tour ed Budapest's open air mar kets Wednesday. U. S. officials at the lega tion said Nixon did not visit Jozsef Cardinal Mindszcnty, who lives in political asylum in the embassy. The United States has tried to avoid ag gravating relations with Hungary over the Cardinal's presence. "A meeting between Cardi nal Mindszcnty and Nixon is out of the question," Charge d'Affaires Turner Shclton said. Hundreds of Hungarians followed the former vice pres ident on a walk through city streets, many of them step ping up to shake his hand. mired for such bursts of hon esty as quitting MacMillan's cabinet for a time to protest spending policies, he, like other intellectuals, finds little strong support in the con servative party. Although Maudling and Butler appeared to be leading Hailsham by some and the dark horses by far, belting has not been heavy. For the conservatives have their own way of picking a leader and it is not done by counting heads. The age-old system of the elders being the Kings-makers still goes. The backbench M. P. is sounded out, but only for the benefit of the Old Boys in the backroom. The backroom usually i s the lounge of one of London's more exclusive private men's clubs. The outgoing leader's cabinet is polled. No one but himself seems to know who Macmillan fa vors, if he even considers the matter. The only certainty seems to be there is no cer tain successor. 4527 "'5 " NO FAIR OFFER REFUSED OPEN 'Til 8 PM 1 U I .4!33i$ Si. ... -0 U UFa .
