McKay Home to Plan Strategy for Election By THOMAS G. WRIGHT Staff Writer, The Statesman . Groundwork for his primary campaign for the Republican nomina tion for U. S. Senate will be laid Interior Douglas McKay. McKay flew home last night to give his endorsement to preliminary plans and a nucleus organization, and to attempt to patch up some party difficulties which were a result of his unexpected entry in the race. He ll confer here today with Wil liam L. Phillips Sr. of Salem, state manager of his campaign, and others, and will probably spend Friday and Saturday in Portland working on campaign preparations before flying back to Washington Sunday. Statement Today Phillips said McKay would have a statement, probably this morn ing, but did not indicate its nature. It was believed likely that it might be an explanation of his unexpect ed filing for the Senate nomination March 9, a few hour) before the deadline for the May 18 primary election. His unheralded return to the Oregon political scene has appar ently produced a sizable split in the Republican Party, principally PORTLAND (f-SecreUry of the Interior Douglas McKay flew to Portland from Washington Wednesday night to begin pre ilmlnary work for his campaign for Repiiblicaa nomlaatloa to the U. 8. Senate. McKay said be would Issne a statement at aooa Thursday. He declined to dlscass the campaign on his arrival. Shortly after his arrival, Mc Kay left for Ms home at Salem. v 1 between McKay supporters and those of Philip Hitchcock who is considered his most serious rival for the nomination. There were strong rumors that the Young Republican Clubs, led by its college federation member ship, plan to endorse Hitchcock for the nomination at their con vention April 13 and 14 in Eugene. To Wind Up Duties McKay hopes to wind up his Interior Department duties in time to address the Young Republican session, Phillips said Wednesday. He would like very much to make it," he stated. If he does it will mean moving up his resignation from the Cabinet . ahead of the April IS date announced earlier, for McKay has said he will do no campaigning until he has resigned. 'He still has to clear his desk," Phillips reported, but as soon as that is done he will return to get his campaign underway at the earliest possible date. McKay had earlier announced he would not campaign for the primary, but Hitchcock's decision to remain in the race apparently led to a change of plans.

PEACE EFFORT URGED UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-WI - The United States Wednesdar called on U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to undertake new and urgent effort to bring peace to the Middle East. Sales Tax, Unification Seen As Solution to Sales taxes! school 'unification! and eligible bachelors were seen as solutions to some of Marion County's education problems in a follow-up session Wednesday night for last winter's White House Con- erence on Education. The problems, discussed in the ory by the best minds in the VS. at the Washington, D. C, confer ence, were brought back to the local level in a meeting of educa tors and the interested public at South Salem High School. Conferees decided some $7,000,000 would be needed in the next five years in the county for school buildings alone; decided that if at all possible financing and controls should be kept at the local level; and decided that the most likely answer to the problem of footing the bill was a sales tax. With some apparent reluctance Veto Awaits i Senate's Farm BUI, Ike Hints WASHINGTON V - President Eisenhower intimated Wednesday he will veto any farm bill resem bling the legislation passed by the Senate Monday night. "I don't think it is a good bill,' he said of the Senate version, which was amended about 40 times before the senators got through with it. "I don't think it is workable." Eisenhower told his news con ference he thought the bill would bury farmers unfcer their own crop surpluses and "break the prices still further." But there is still hope for a bill "which can really be helpful to the. farmer," the President said, if Senate and House conferees look at the thing "sensibly" and rewrite the legislation. The House has voted for gov ernment price supports at 90 per cent of parity, which the admin istration opposes. The Senate didn't go along with this, but wrote into its version other fea tures which would have much the same effect of boosting support levels.

School Woes the group decided also that unifi cation was the best way to or ganize schools more efficiently and economically. Areas of discussion, handled by separate groups and then briefed for reports tor the general assem bly, covered school organization, teacher supply, public Interest, building needs and finances. Scholarships, the security of ex tended contracts and tenure, en vironment and, advert Isemfnt of a substantial list of eligible bachelors in the county area were cited, as answers 14 the problems of secur ing and keeping good teachers. Lack of public interest, indicated in the fact that only about 50 per sons turned out for the session, is a problem of education and inlor mation, conferees decided. , " (Additional details on pagl 2, sec L) Adlai 'To Run Harder9 Stevenson Says He's 'No Longer Front-Runner' CHICAGO m - Adlai E.

Arms Inspection Devised by U.St By ARTHUR GAVSHON ' LONDON (APV-The United States proposed Wednesday nicht nrwninff tin of .lOftX) square miles of Russian and American territories for a test of disarmament controls. ' A few hours later, the British and American governments an nounced tnat tht Russians have started a new series of nuclear tests. The new blasts presumably were carried out in a Siberian) . wilderness. Tner coincided with a meetin here of the 8-power V. N. sub committee on disarmament and a high pressure Soviet campaign for friendship with Britain. The dramatic American nrnrvn. al for an Immediate experimental . arms control project was present ed at Wednesday night's subcom mittee session by Harold Stassen. President Eisenhowers special assistant on disarmament. Plaa to Cat Arms It was offered after Western uitavsiieabsa vutmsw vci lilo) v& am cautious S-stage British-French plan to cut the world's arms and armies and eventually to ban nu clear warfare. In Washington, Chairman Lewis L. Strausa of the U. S. atomle Energy Commission said the Rus sians exploded a nuclear device "within the past few days." He Mid this was "the fifth U. S. an nouncement of , Soviet nuclear weapon tests la the past eight months." Mlaas Saf egnards East-West negotiations oo dis armament long have been sty mied over Russia's demands for an immediate ban on nuclear weapons without safeguards against violations. The Russians recently nave been pushing a campaign to baa even the tests of nuclear weap ons. Stassen's offer of a pilot experi ment in International disarma ment and inspection was designed ' to replace apparently endless talk ing on the subject with concrete actions. . Chaiks of Territory The proposal envisages that be- tween 20,000. and 30,000 square mile chunks of American and So viet territory should be opened it Inspection teams comprising rep resentatives of the five powers on the U.N. subcommittee. They are the United States, Russia, Britain, France and Canada. Stassen suggested the demon stration areas Include at least one seaport, an airfield, a railroad terminal and some nonsecret mil itary installations, facilities and Units. The I-power teams would be empowered to carry out tests of port control, make aerial pictures and various forms of ground in spection and then would report back their findings to the subcom mittee. Vblt Each Nation . .1 . Stassen also proposed the five subcommittee countries exchange technical missions to study dis armament control and inspection methods. Under the plan the 5 power teams would visit each country with the aim of devising an effective system of checking disarmament processes.
