GOP MAY CHANGE SETUP IN SENATE Minority Members Move To Fill Gap Left By Death Of McNary WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.— (tf—A reshuffle of the senate’s Republi can organization, with aggressive minded “young Turks ’ in control, seemed in the making today as minority members moved to fill the gap left by the death of Charles L. McNary of Oregon, their leader since 1933. Although all oi the Republicans agreed that nothing official will be done until after funeral serv ices are held in Oregon Friday for McNary, “freshmen” and “sophomore” members appeared determined to force the selection of a successor pledged to put new fight into the minority group. Many Republican and Demo cratic colleagues will attend the rites for the 69 year old Oregon senator, who died yesterday in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where he went to recuperate from a brain oper ation here last November. There was talk, meanwhile, among the more-newly elected Re publicans of casting off the re straints McNary often had im posed and of electing an official lineup which would go “all out” against the new deal. This group, representing approx imately 15 of the present 36 Re publican members, had in mind a slate like this: Senator Vandenberg of Michi gan—himself a "young Turk” dur ing the late twenties—for chair man of the minority conference, a position carrying with it the au thority to name at least six of a proposed nine ■ member steering committee which would determine the party’s stand on controversial legislation. Senator Taft of Ohio for floor leader, a job entailing active di rection of Republican maneuvers in the Senate and in committees, carrying with it the responsibility of speaking for the party on major issues. Senator White of Maine for as sistant leader, a post to which he already has been elected. Senator Wherry of Nebraska would remain as whip, charged with having members present for important roll calls, and Senator Burton of Ohio as secretary of the conference. Vandenberg was elected vice chairman of the conference, White designated acting leader, and Wherry and Burton named to the two other offices at a meeting last Thursday when McNary was reelected leader. The "young turks” were in the saddle at that meeting but Vandenberg made it plain the lineup was only tem porary until such time as McNary returned or jt became apparent that he could not do so. McNary’s death thus threw the question of the leadership wide open again. BURIAL FRIDAY FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 26.—(#)—Charles L. McNary will be buried next Friday at Sa lem, the Oregon city he left in 1917 to begin a long and distin guished career in the United States Senate. Accompanying the body on the transcontinental train trip will be the Senator’s wife, daughter and sister-in-law who were at his bed side yesterday when he died un expectedly while he seemed well on the roacj to recovery from a brain operation. Mrs. McNary was prostrated by the shock. Only a week ago Mc Nary was well enough to make a quiet automobile trip to Palm Beach, 40 miles distant from this resort where he had rested in se clusion since he left the hospital at Washington in December.

The general impression of the situation brought here by informed travelers is that the reshaping of the cabinet still is not concluded. From an analysis of often con fused reports received in Monte video the impression grows that the moving force behind Farrell's assumption of executive power as well as the previous cabinet crisis is the younger officer group in the Army. Their visible leaders are said to be Col. Filomeno Velazco, who displaced Col. Emilio Ramirez as the capital police chief just be fore Gen. Ramirez decided he “needed a rest,” and Lt. Col. Julio Lagos, an aviation officer who took charge of the post office an^ communications. These younger officers were hostile to Argentina’s rupture of relations with the Axis. They were antagonistic to Gilbert and Gonza lez because those two men spon sored the rupture. The younger officers also were alarmed by last Wednesday’s re ports that Gen. Ramirez was plan ning to bring Gilbert and Gonza lez back into the government and possibly adopt a more liberal pro gram. -V COST OF LIVING CLAIMS ASSAILED (Continued from Page One) these findings, have been fully aware of the nature of the evidence submitted, we do not believe that they would have subscribed to the report.” Unswerved, Meany and Thomas joined in a statement today chal lenging the bureau to submit to the nation’s housewives the ques tion of whose figures are right.

DESTROYERS j ATTACK KAVIENG (Continued from Page One) broadcast Saturday, American na val formations are attacking Guam, Only previous recent mention of Guam, former U. S. outpost cap tured by the Japanese in the first week of the Pacific war, was in Adm. Chester W. Nimitz’ Friday communique when he reported the island was attacked by the same carrier forces that raided strong enemy bases at Saipan and Tinian Tuesday. All three islands are in the southern Marianas, about 1,400 miles south of Tokyo. The wording of the broadcasts suggests an amphibious action, but it is similar to the vague ter minology previously used in Tokyo broadcasts to describe carrier borne air attacks and naval bom bardments. The reports wouldn’t be worth noting if it Weren’t for the sur prising succession of daring strokes by American forces in seizing the most westerly Mar shall islands, raiding Truk and bombing the Marianas. Coupled with this is Nhnitz’ re cent remark, as he looked at the Pacific islands, “I want them all.” Would King Cole Be Merry With Stomach Ulcer Pains?
