on the selection, however.
Would Leave Out Vandenburg.
This leaves Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan without Office in the
organization-although he is a dom
inant figure in Republican foreign
policy. Originally 1t had been
planned to elect him to the post
he held in the 10Th Congress
chairman of the Republican Con-
ference-and to make Senator Mil
likin floor leader, leaving the whip
job to Senator Wherry.
The first round. in the fight will
be fought over the proposal to
change the rules of the conference
to make Senator Taft eligible for
continued membership in the Policy
Committee so he could remain as
chairman. A Senator Is limited
under present rules to four years
continuous service on the committee.
Senators Brewster of Maine,
Bricker of Ohio and Butler of Ne
braska will sponsor an amendment
eliminating that limit and calling
for the election of the chairman of
the Policy Committee by all the
members of the conference instead
of by the members of the committee
itself.
The strategy of the insurgents
is to propose an amendment to this
amendment, calling for the election
of the policy chairman by the whole
conference, but retaining the four
year service limit and permit re-
election to the Policy Committee

DR.. Douglas Dies;
.Ex-House Member
BY the Associated Press

UTICA, N. Y, Jan. DIR. Fred
]. Douglas, 70, noted Utica surgeon
who represented the $50 congress
sional district for four terms, died
at his home here today after a long
illness.
DR.. Douglas, a Republican. was
elected to Congress in 1887. In 1915
when Oneida County was merged
with Oswego County to form the
35th district he was defeated for
denomination by Representative
Hadwen c. Fuller Of Parish.
DR.. Douglas began his political
career as Utica city health officer
from. which post he was elected
mayor in 1922 and served two years
He later was public safety COM
missioner.
In 1894 he was the unsuccessful
candidate for lieutenant governor
on a Republican ticket headed by
Robert Moses of New York.
DR.. Douglas joined the staff OF
Paxton Hospital in Utica in 1893
and from 1921 until 1882 was SUR
geon-in- chief of the hospital. Case
records of the hospital show that
he performed more than $4,000
operations.
Until his recent illness he con-
tinued In private practice with his
son, Or. James G. Douglas.
He Is survived by his widow, the
former Katherine~%M cGrath; two
sons, James and Fred 4, Douglas,
jr., Of Cleveland, and a daughter,

after q two-year interval. This
would eliminate Senator Taft from
the Craftsmanship race.
Ives to Nominate Lodge.
OF the nine New England Re-
publican Senators, six appear to be
favorable of the Lodge candidacy
and three to Senator Taft's. It is
now expected that Senators Brew
ster and Smith of Maine, and
Bridges of New Hampshire will go
down the line for Taft, with the
others supporting Senator Lodge.
According to present plans, Sena-
tor Ives Of New York, who has been
leading spirit in the revolt against
the old guard, will place Senator
Lodges name in nomination for
the craftsmanship. Senator Ives will
make the point that Senator Lodge
represents the present-day thinking
Of tie Republican Party-that he
was chairman of the platform COM
mtttee of the last Republican Ma
tional Convention.
He will say, too, that the proposal
to displace Senator Taft as chairman
of the policy committee is not per-
sonal, that he fully recognizes the
qualities of Senator Taft and ad-
mires him. At the same time Sena-
tor Ives will insist that Senator
Taft has had a conservative label
tied to him in an unacceptable way.
Senator Bridges may be selected
by the Taft group to nominate
the Ohioan.
Considerable Cleavage Seen.
Although the younger Republicans
insist there is no plan and no desire
to split the Republicans wide open,
1t is likely that in the future there
may be considerable cleavage in the
Republican ranks over progressive
measures which come before the
Senate for consideration. The
younger group includes some of the
ablest Republican Senators.
Had the young Turks" stuck to
their original intention of nominal
ing Senator Lodge for floor leader,
they might have beaten Senator
Wherry for that Office. They pre-
ferred, however, to attack the prob
lem from the top down, since the
chairman of the Policy Committee
has the major Office.
The size of the Policy Committee
may be increased from to II men,
bers, and in the new men selected
there will be a chance to give the
younger group further recognition.
The insurgents have not yet said
what they intend to do about the
post of floor leader, If Senator Taft
wins the battle for the Policy Com
mittee Craftsmanship. They could
put up q candidate against Senator
Wherry. They might even try to

Half Million SteeIWOrkers Out On Strike

PITTSBURGH, (P)-A strike by a half-million CIO United Steel workers Saturday shut down iron and steel mills from coast to coast.
 The free pension and insurance walkout dealt a crippling blow to American industry. Coupled with the two week-old coal mine strike, it threatens to disrupt American economy.
 Picket lines at mill gates in 27 states generally weer small and quiet in the first nationwide steel strike since 1946. Plant gates in Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cleveland were circled by picket lines which dWindled to mere handfuls several hours after the strike began at 12:01 am.
 A restaurant man in Lorain, O., whose establishment is near a giant plant of the National Tube company, posted this sign in a window:
 Large bowl of soup, for dura- tion of strike, one cent"
 Supervisory workers and fore men passed through picket lines without incident. They are allow ed free entrance to kep mill equip ment in good shape to resume work whenever the strike ends. No violence was reported anywhere.

Pair Land Plane In
 Alders; Are Unhurt

PALMER, Alaska, (P) - Two Matanuska Valley men survived an emergency landing of their small plane in Alaska's wilderness Thursday by using alder trees to cushion the jolt.
 The pair, Dr. R. E. Garrett and l.. C. Stock, a restaurant owner, returned here unhurt Friday.
 They were on a bear hunting and picture outing in a rented plane when the engine conked out. Finding the plane without appar- ent damage, they decided to cut a clearing through the alder grove for takeoff strip. They had slash ed brush most of the day with a knit and hammer when Pilot Bob Totten discovered them at 3:30 pm. He instructed them to go to the bank of the nearby Knik River for a pickup at an impro- vised strip.
 They were unable to cross the stream, however, so food and bed rolls were dropped for their one night outing. A helicopter of the 10th Resceu Squadron at Fort Richardson picked them up.
 pr. Garrett was the only casual ty. He was suffering from blister ed hands and feet and exhaustion from the alder-clearing ordeal.
 Stock, president of a sports mems organization, commented:
 "We made a better let-down in those alders than lots of airport landings I've seen."
