W) Democratic senators said today they would welcome the appointment by Secretary of State Dulles of a Democratic adviser if that action is a forerunner of increased consultation on foreign policy.

Associates of Dulles said rarlier in the day that he is prepared to name a Democratic consultant if leaders of the opposing party suggest a qualified man. Dulles himself served in such an advisory role with former Secretary of State Dean Acheson and other Democratic officials before President Eisenhower's election.

12 Chairman Langer today called a public hearing Nov. 19 by the senate judiciary committee on President Eisenhower's nomination of John Marshall Harlan to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Included in the same hearings will be 10 other nominations for judgeships, for U. S. attorney and for U.

S. marshals submitted by the President to this special session of the senate. Langer's action raised the possibility that the senate may act on Harlan's nomination in the special session if no controversy arises over it. Only yesterday, Langer had said it would be impossible for him to hold a hearing on the Harlan appointment at this session under the rules then in effect. Today, however, Republican Leader Knowland (Calif.) said the senate would meet next week at 11 a.m.

The assembly responded with a 312-272 vote of approval for his policy. Interior Minister Francois Mit- terand had announced earlier that 16 companies of armed police nn tn A nnn mrn ViaH Wn Hi.

He declined to disclose the num ber of troops there now, but tanks, planes and paratroopers are in the force that is engaged in trying to mop up the guerrillas along the Tunisian border. Some estimates place the guerrillas numbers at 3,000 but Mit- terand said it was impossible to estimate the rebel strength. Mendes-France declared France would never permit the secession of Algeria, wnich under the constitution is a part of metropolitan France.

"We will send all the forces necessary, he added. 'Even more, on our part there will be no hesitation, no half measures to assure the maintenance of order and respect for law." Ivan To Be First To Moon, Russ Journal Says MOSCOW, Nov. 12 W) A Soviet magazine predicted today the Russians would make the first successful flight to the moon somewhere around 1974. Knowledge Is Strength, a magazine of popular science for young people, devoted all the 52 pages of its current issue to the idea of Interplanetary space. The magazine predicted the de velopment of the moon by the Russians would annoy Americans, and it called the moon "our sat ellite." Has Ace Argufier BANGKOK, Saturday.

He told police he would be defended by the best lawyer he knew his wife. adviser would be a "proper step" toward cementing bipartisan cooperation on international affairs. But Fulbright and other Democrats willing to comment made it rlear that they are considerably more interested' in having members of their party consulted about controversial issues in advance of any decision upon them than they are in having a Democrat assigned to the state department.

"The real way for the administration to get co-operation is to invite the Democrats in and ask their advice before policy decisions are made, not just to notify them before it is publicly announced that a decision has been reached," Fulbright said. Eisenhower has invited Democratic and Republican leaders to a White House meeting Nov. 17, and one influential senator, who asked not to be quoted by name, said he thinks the Democrats will try to find out at that session just Where they stand. Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) of the renate foreign relations commit tee said he thought it would be an excellent idea. "The world is so small today that there is an imperative necessity to work out harmonious steps in "foreign affairs." he said.

"I think it is a good idea to have a Democrat in a key position as consultant." Dulles was pictured by associates as unlikely to take the initiative in naming an adviser. He was said to be willing to take the action, but seemed likely to await suggestions from the Democrats. Whether any such suggestion ever would be forthcoming remained doubtful, inasmuch as Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, was reported to be unenthusiastic about the idea.

Vishinsky said today Moscow would like to take part in President Eisenhower's atoms-f or-peace program but on conditions so far fought by the west. The Soviet deputy foreign minister told the UN assembly's political committee that the proposed international atomic agency suggested by the United States and its atomic allies should be inside the United Nations and subject to the security council.

The Eisenhower plan, as endorsed by Britain. France, Canada, Belgium, South Africa, and Australia, envisions the creation the international agency as a specialized agency the UN, with a loose tie to the world organization. Henry Cabot Lodge chief American delegate, replied briefly' to Vishinsky. For the first time, he told the committee that the -United States never has said the agency should not be linked to the security council. He stressed, however, that the United States was anxious to.

avoid getting the atomic agency tangled up in the veto. The tone of the one-hour-and-45-minute speech by Vishinsky and Lodge's brief reply showed that both sides are jockeying for the best position in the closed-door negotiations which appear to be in the offing. In it appeared neither side has definitely finally made up its mind. Lodge, will make a detailed reply early next week, probably Monday. Vishinsky made these points in his speech: 1.

The United States and its atomic allies want the proposed international atomic agency to be definitely within the UN and reporting to the security council. 2. The West wants the agency to be a clearing house for author izing movement of fissionable material from one plaqe to another asTieedeaV- Russia opposes this provision, claiming it is an infringement upon the sovereignty of nations and that there is no appeal from the decision of the agency. 3. There is little chance for success of the proposed agency and, in fact, the entire plan if the major powers which have the veto right in the council do not agree in advance that they would not use atomic weapons in the future.

The West has opposed Klirh a nrnvkinn hut Vicl-iinct-ir reiterated today that Russia would not insist on such a pledge as a condition on joining tne agency. ine international agency snouia be instructed to consider methods of preventing the use of atomic materials for warlike pur- poses.

Blasted By Stennis Spreader Of 'Slime', Says Mississippian WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. V-Sen. Barry Goldwater.

(R-Ariz) came swiftly to the defense of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R Wis) today after McCarthy was assailed as a spreader of "slush and slime" by Sen. Stennis (D-Miss), a member of the special committee which recommended censure for McCarthy. Stennia argued the senate must "condemn" McCarthy's conduct in order to set a standard of political honor. Republican Senator Bricker (Ohio) joined Goldwater in Mc Carthy's defense, praising him a3 the symbol of American resistance to communism and blaming Communist influence for the move to rebuke him.

Finally a second member of the censure -committee, Senator Carlson (R-Kan.) took the floor and protested sharply against McCarthy's charge that the committee members were "unwitting handmaidens" of the Communist party. Carlson declared McCarthy's accusation made in a speech he put into the Congressional Record Wednesday was untrue, was a violation of senate rules and "is therefore out of order." The Kansas lawmaker likewise protested what he called the "legalistic inquiries" with which the McCarthy side has been bombarding committee members, and declared any "rear-guard" action to delay the proceedings will not go down well with the voters back home. We can -trrrtainly solve thi problem," Carlson said, "without the sacrifice of the dignity of this chamber." Goldwater described the censure move as ''the culminating act to destroy America's foremost fighter against Communism," and accused McCarthy's foes of hyprocrisy. 'The masterminds in this fight have said one thing and meant another," Goldwater declared. Their propaganda has dripped with idealism, high-mindedness, and lofty sentiments.

Their deeds have come from the darkness. 'All the discredited and embit tered figures of the Hiss-Yalta period of American dishonor have crawled out from under their logs to join the efforts to get even Have dipped in the smut pot to discredit Senator McCarthy and his work against Communism." Goldwater, lean and prema turely gray, spoke after Ohio's veteran Bricker declared a vote to censure McCarthy would "smack of legislative tyranny" and "would reflect a vindicative passion unworthy of the world's greatest deliberative body." Bricker contended there is no precedent for punishing a sena-' tor for the acts alleged against McCarthy obstructing and abusing a senate committee, and likewise giving abusive treatment of an arrhy general who appeared before McCarthy's own investigations subcommittee. Moreover. Bricker said, censur ing McCarthy would not bar other senators from doing the very things for which McCarthy was rebuked. And so.

he de clared, the present unprecedented censure session of the senate is based on an "unparalleled ab surdity." Stennis, a former Mississippi judge, accused McCarthy of ex hibiting right up to the present a "moral contempt for the senate. Failure to rebuke McCarthy, Stennis said, will amount to en dorsing his conduct and thus tell ing the youth of the nation that McCarthy's behaviour "is the high road of which the senate approves, and upon which it likes to travel." Crowds in the gallery began to dwindle as the third day of debate neared its end. Attendance of senators dropped, too.

The agreement would replace a 1944 pact, since altered in some degree, which has come in for hot political criticism in Belgium. For one thing, critics of the government have accused it of virtually giving the uranium away, without getting help in return for Belgium's nuclear research program. The price has been kept secret.

Spaak talked to reporters today after he and Minister Sir Robert Scott of the British embassy had conferred for an hour with Undersecretary of State Her bert Hoover Jr. Spaak said the agreement would cover both the amount and price of uranium to be sold to Britain and America from the Belgian Congo fields. The foreign minister also said the agreement would include United States aid for the atomic Industrialization in Belgium." Asked to elaborate, he said this would "start with the erection of an atomic pilot plant." Spaak obviously hoped such an agreement would offset the criti cism which has been raised by a variety of Belgians, ranging from Communists to extreme right wingers. Many Belgians and newspapers have protested that the U.S. ban on the exchange of atomic information which was eased by Congress this summer handicapped Belgian -scientists.

Although the price Belgium has been getting for uranium has been a secret, an Indication of the financial return can be gained from financial statements of the Belgian uranium producers. One of the big ones declared a $29 div idend last year, as compared with $4 in 1943. Its shares rose to $722 from $370 in those years. While the United States still depends heavily on the Belgian Congo and other foreign sources, the Atomic Energy Commission has reported progress in domestic production. The commission said July 30 that domestic production of raw uranium ore and processed con centrates "attained record levels in the past six months." It said that by May 1, 430 mining opera tors were delivering uranium ore from 530 mines in the United States, with the Colorado plateau the most important source.

Jr. Dies Carpenter Fools Co-Workers With Hard-Luck Tale CAXOGA PARK, Calif, 'Sot. 12 He said his name was rani Wood and he wanted work because his wife was ill in a hospital and he needed money. So Charles E. Wright, supervisor of a construction project, hired him as a carpenter.

In a few hours Wood returned from a telephone call and reported tbat his wife had died. His fellow workers passed the hat and raised $55. Wood was thankful, and asked several workers to be pallbearers, saying he was a stranger here. Wood's co-workers called a funeral parlor to learn the woman's first name 'so they might send flowers. They learned that no funeral was scheduled.

They checked the hospital and learned, that no Mrs. Wood had died there. The carpenters are looking for Wood. So are tbe police. On other subjects the former first lady said: 1.
