Kay, state treasurer, in Portland Wednesday afternoon, that he will not be a candidate for the republican followed a few hoars later by an Neuner, United States attorney enter the race. He will not relinquish his present office dur ing the campaign. Mr. Neuner had assured Mr. he would not run if Mr. KayO did, believing that their strength would be drawn from the same group of vot ers and that each would veaken the other's chances If both were in the contest. Physicians Advise Against Campaign Mr. Kay's decision to remain out of the race was the result of final conferences with physicians whom he had consulted several times recently, resulting in the conclusloiuthat he had not yet re covered sufficiently from his re cent illness to undertake a vigor ous political campaign. In a statement made by Mr. Kay in Portland and received by The Statesman through the Asso ciated Press, he said: "I have long cherished the thought that I should Uke to oc cupy the office of governor, that I might thereby gratify a person al ambition and also extend to the people still further he bene fit of my 27 years' experience In pubUc office, as well as my ex perience, in private business and as a member of several legisla tive assemblies. "It is thus with sincere regret that I announce that I have de cided not to run for the office. Recovery Is Found Slower Than Hoped For "I base this decision upon the fact that my progress toward ab solute recovery from my recent illness has been somewhat slower during the past month than my physicians and I had expected.

With navy tonnage systems, battleships and cruisers already under discussion, the conference thus by next week will extend its work over the whole range of war craft. Great Britain, supported by the United States, will seek total abolition of submarines. Ranged against these powers will be France and Japan, champions of undersea craft as "the poor man's battleship." France will likely counter the Anglo-American stand with new texts for a treaty humanising submarine warfare, the essence of which Is the proposed banning of their use against merchant men, food ships and other son combatants. Conference Committee To Be Given Problem After Tuesday's discussion, which will be mainly academic, placing each of the five powers on record regarding submarines, the problem will be turned over to a conference committee for definite action. The American and British del egations scarcely hope to abolish submarines at this conference, but they will set themselves to driving for the most rigid code possible for "humanizing" un dersea warfare. Tomorrow will be "ladies' day" at the conference. Prime Minister MacDonald will be at St. James' palace at 10 a. m., to receive a deputation from the Women's TeaW Crnsads"peartng a memor ial with the signatures of 30,000 American women who claim to represent 6,000,000 of their sis ters in the United States, and 180,000 Japanese women. The memorial will plead for destruc tion of armaments and an end to war.

(AP) The sum of 1552,172.213 would be set aside for 28 independent offices and agencies of govern ment under provisions of the an nual supply bill for 1931 reported today to the bouse by the appro priations committee. The measure shows a decrease of $141,687,627 under the cur rent appropriations. It also is $1.- 611,825 below the budget esti mates. The decrease resulted in failure for the farm board to ask for an appropriation towards its revolving fund. Last year a revolving fund of $150,000,000 to make loans to co operative marketing associations was provided for the board. No additional appropriation was re quested by the board In view oi the fact that less than $67,000,000 haa been loaned from the $150, 000,000 appropriated under the S500.000.000 authorization for farm relief. Under action by the committee, however. $1,900,000 was set aside for -administrative and cooperative marketing expenses. The veterans bureau received $511,225,000, an increase of $11,250,000 over the appropriations for this year. Addi tional hosnital personnel, com- nenaation to emergency naval ana army officers Injured in the World war and the settling of insurance elaims took up the bulk of the increase. The bureau also received ita nerminent annroDrlatlon of $78,530,000. BUREAU BUYS GRAIN ST. PAUL. Minn.. Feb. S.

MOTORLESS PLANE IS HELD FEASIBLE Lindbergh Tests Gliders in Effort to Determine Their Value LINDBERGH CAMP, Tehacha- pi Mountains, Calif., Feb. 6. (AP) The popular use of mo- torless airplanes because of their safety features was forseen here today by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who with Hawley Bowlus, of San Diego, Cal., cham pion American glider pilot, has established a camp in this rug ged mountain range to experi ment with them. In testing this flight theory, Lindbergh explained that he and Bosrlus has chosen this spot for their experiments because it pre sented the greatest difficulties for successful flight. He said he believed that if gliders could fly safely under the conditions here, "then they can fly anywhere." Lindbergh said he hoped to demonstrate the ease of piloting a glider and prove that this type of ship Is far less hazardous than flying powered airplanes. The em bryo pilot, Lindbergh also said, probably can learn to fly much easier in a glider than in a mo tor ship. The noted flier believes that within the next two years there will be an important increase of interest 1 n gliding throughout the country and that people when they become actively interested in it for nothing more than the pleasure they could derive. Lindbergh advocated practice in piloting gliders as the founds tion for the final teaching o f flight In powered planes and ex pressed the opinion that every pi lot should first Qualify as a gli der operator. These possibilities of the gli der, Lindbergh said, interested him more than the proposed at tempt to set a new world record for gliding here. The present rec ord is 14 hours, 45 minutes made by Lieutenant Dinort in Ger many. By the experiments here, Lind bergh said, he hoped to determine the capacity of the glider for sus tained soaring. Lindbergh made one flight In the uowius airplane today, re maining, aloft for nine and one half minutes. He said, however. that winds were not strong en ough to provide thorough tests and that the experiments would continue for two or three days. Lindbergh and his wife and Bowlus returned to the camp to day after spending Tuesday, Lindbergh's birthday in Los An geles while they awaited the ar rival of a new aileron, the orig inal control having fallen off while Lindbergh was making test flight Monday. He landed the plane safely and told newspaper men that there was nothing to be feared in such a situation. DEATH CERTIFICATE PORTLAND, Ore.. Feb. 5.

Dr. Strieker explained' that physicians were compelled to re port such deaths under state law and that they should know this. The new certificate, he aald. could have no effect upon this statutory duty. Dr. Strieker, said he was willing to cooperate with the coroners and district attor neys, but objected to changing the form of the new certificates. The certificates are of a uniform nature- and correspond to those in use in many other states, he said It was suggested by Dr. Striek er that -a coroner's certificate might be included with the new certificate. The new form, he said was. very valuable to his office as it calls for such Information not obtained from the old certificates, 1 ARGUED III CONTr CLERK FACING TRIAL AT Political Activities Are Laid To A.
