Can anyone confirm whether my last two are correct please?

54a Dogmatic type thought record should be broadcast (9)
Ideologue or idealogue

38d Rules accepted by dramatist, soldier and diplomat(1,1,8)
T E Lawrence

IdeOlogue
T E Lawrence

54a IDEALOGUE

thought=IDEA + LOGUE, 'sounds like' log, record

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/ideologue

ideAlogue would fit the clue better......
Chambers has "ideAlogue" as a misspelling of "ideOlogue"!

https://wikidiff.com/idealogue/ideologue

I cannot say for sure, but two sites show the O spelling as the answer

Thanks,but still not clear whether it's idealogue or ideologue.


I've also found another one I can't do.

29a Seaman beginning to appreciate northern vale (2-2)

T?-R?

Ta-Ra - Tar+A. vale, pronounced valley, I think. = goodbye

Maybe 54a is a setter's error, if 'idea' fits the clue?

38d T E LAWRENCE, soldier and diplomat

rules = LAW, in TERENCE, dramatist
