Veto Rigid
Crop Pegs
Cotton, Corn and
Peanut Supports
Rejected
WASHINGTON WV-An clcclion
year farm bill already stripped
of rigid price supports for cotton,
corn and peanuts faced further
rewriting in the Senate today.
Democratic proposals to return
to higher support levels for wheat
and dairy products also were
threatened by the 54-41 vote mus
tered by administration support
err on the initial test.
Charges of "deals" and "lobby
ing" interspersed debate as the
senators worked until 10:16 p.m.
before recessing in a confused
tangle over government payments
to corn farmers.
They had completed action on
only two of more than 70 pending
amendments, and appeared un
next week.
The vole on price supports was
a major victory for President Ei
senhower, who contended the
higher supports would offset any
gains from the billion-dollar soil
bank proposals also included in
the bill.
Thirteen Democrats joined 41
Republicans in voting down higher
supports, with 35 Democrats and
6 Republicans on the other side.
For the first time since 1936 not
a single senator was absent for
the roll call. Ailing Sen. Millikin
(R-Colo) arrived in a wheel chair
to vote with the administration.
Eisenhower 'vas described at
the White House as "delighted"
by the vote, and Secretary of Agri
culture Benson said he wanted to
"commend the Senate highly."
In Chicago, President Charles
B. Shuman of the American Farm
Bureau Federation said the action

Heart Surgery
Steven Kelly, nine-year-old Sa
lem boy who Thursday under
went a rare type of heart sur
gery at Mayo Clinic with the op
eration reported successful, died
early Friday morning. Word of

Thursday the grandmother of
the little boy, Mrs. Alice Penix

gram reporting the success of the
operation and stating that his
post-operative condition was "crit
ical". It was indicated however
that patients normally are re
garded as "critical" immediately
following major surgery.
The operation was to correct a
defect between the ventrical open
ing of the heart wall from which
Steven had suffered since birth.
Friends and neighbors had re
cently donated 69 pints of blood
to aid the boy in his fight.
Steven, who was born in Port
land and moved to Salem from
there, is survived besides, his par
ents by two brothers, Michael and
Timothy Kelly; a sister, Gail Kel

Dangerous Arson-

Break Out
By STEPHEN A. STONE
Escape of an inmate said "to be
dangerous" from the criminal
ward at Oregon State Hospital just
after midnight Friday morning,
and a life-termer from the State
Prison Thursday afternoon bring
to four the number of escapes
from the two institutions since last
Sunday.
At large are Richard R. Kidd,
21. arsonist from Multnomah Coun

state hospital early today, ana
Ralph John Hulls, 56, convicted
for rape in Marion County and do
ing a life rap in the penitentiary.
The third and fourth were Rob
ert James Van Landingham, 22,
and Jack Gordon, 35, who escaped
last Sunday from the hospital. Van
Landingham was there under ob
servation after a robbery charge
in Portland. Both men are back in
custody. Gordon in the hospital
and Van Landingham in Multno
mah County after he had given
Lane County officers a lot ot trou
ble. His observation period at the
hospital had been completed, but
he had not yet been released.
Except for a string of stolen
cars, officers were without a clue
Friday to the whereabouts of Kidd.
A car stolen near Salem, another
at Stayton and a third at Detroit
are believed to indicate that Kidd
may have fled over the mountains
to eastern Oregon. Kidd is believed
to be armed with a knife.
was later found near Detroit where
theft of a panel truck was report
ed. When Stayton officers found
the Salem car there its owner in
Salem did not yet know it had been
stolen. His name was not immed
iately known to the local police.
Kidd was committed directly to
the state hospital about 13 months
ago after a series of arson cases
attributed to him in Portland.
State police are now investigat
ing to find out how a hacksaw was
smuggled to him some time re
cently in the criminal ward. With
the saw last night he first cut
through the hasp of a window lock.
Then he sawed through one end of
a window bar, bent the bar back
and lowered himself with the bed

Huge Crowd
When the Salem Y.M.C.A. book

morning hundreds were making se
lections of volumes old and new,
some battered and some in mint
condition, in categories of fiction,
non-fiction, texts, . history, poetry,
music, juvenile and religious.
There had not been much time
for precise classification: Boccac
cio s Decameron was in the his
tory section, Virgil's Aeneid got
mixed with non-fiction and the La
dies Repository for 1874 landed
among the texts. But bargain hunt
ers, collectors, librarians and pos
sibly dealers were not at all con
cerned about misplaced volumes.
They were eager to fill their re
quirements with volumes selling
for 10 cents each.
Don the Newsboy, Horatio Al

ago; the 1923 Book of Etiquette
and the Pastoral Theology for 1877

Norblad Gets
Clear Field
For Race
By JAMES D. OLSON
Bruce Williams, Salem attorney.
Friday withdrew from the First
District congressional race, while
William E. Hcaly, former assist
ant secretary of state, switched
back into the race for the Republi
can nomination for Secretary of
State on the final day for filing
for the May 18th primary election.
This leaves Congressman Walter
Norblad with but one opponent, W.
F. Cook of Silverton, for the Re
publican nomination for represen
tative in Congress Irom the f irst
District. Jayson Lee, Salem at
torney, Is the only Democratic
candidate thus far for Congress.
Williams in a brief statement
said that when he first announced
his candidacy for Congress, Nor
blcd was in the race for Governor.
T have given the matter serious
consideration and feel that with
Congressman Norblad back in the
race for re-election, I should take
myself out of the race," Williams
said. "I want to express my deep
appreciation to the many persons
who offered to assist me in the
campaign.
Healy, who originally announced
his candidacy for Secretary of
State and switched to Congress
after Norblad had declared him
self for Governor, declared that
he had always been a loyal sup
porter of Norblad s and did not
desire to oppose him. -
"Whcn Norblad recently filed as
a candidate fof.-Govcrnor of Ore
gon, I pursued "a long time am
bition to serve my district in uon
gross by filing as a candidate to
fill the vacancy Healy said.
"Knowing that the seniority of
Congressman Norblad is important
to the people of the First dis
trict, I have decided to seek the
Republican nomination as Secre
tary of State," Hcaly Continued.
"Believing that experience and
integrity are still valuable assets
to anyone seeking a position of
public trust, I now offer to the
people of Oregon my more than
eight years of experience as assist
ant secretary of state.
I have unlimited confidence in
the Republican party and its de
sire to strive endlessly for the
well being and freedom of the in
dividual. I believe this effort can
be best served by constantly striv
ing for unity within the party,"
he concluded.
State Senator Mark Hatfield,
who announced his candidacy for
Secretary of State some weeks
ago, filed for the Republican nom
ination Thursday.
Democratic State Senator Mon
roe Swectland, who also is Demo
cratic National Committeeman in
Oregon, has filed for the Demo
cratic' nomination for Secretary of
Stale. No other Democrat had
filed for this office up to noon

Doug Decides
To Oppose
Morse
PORTLAND m Interior Secre
tary Douglas McKay said Friday
he will run for the Republican
nomination for the U. S. Senate
in a contest with Democrat Wayno
Morse.
He said In a statement handed
out as he headed for Salem, the
capital, he would run in a "show
down" on the Eisenhower policies.
He said that in conferring with
President Eisenhower Thursday he ,
told the President he might run.
The decision by McKay, lormer
Oregon governor, camo on the ,
final day for filing.
He said he was going to run
chiefly because of his admiration
for President Eisenhower.
"I am coming back home," he
said, "to bring to a showdown In
Oregon tho question of whether
the President's program Is to be
jeopardized in the future, as it has
in the past, by those seeking per
sonal gratification and notoriety at
tho expense of the national wel
fare.
Morse, a one-time Republican
who joined the Democratic Party
last year, has been ono of the
sharpest critics of the administra
tion policies directed by McKny,
especially thoso on hydro-electric
power and other resource develop
ment.
In Washington Morse said when
told McKay planned to run against
him, "I would love it."
And Oregon's other senator,'
Democrat Richard L. Neubergcr,
said it would "be fitting" to "put
to the test In his home state the
policies which have resulted in
such disaster for the natural re
sources of our country.'.'
McKay said earlier, before an
nouncing his decision, that if he
entered the primory election he
would resign about Juno 1 from
the cabinet. Ho said he had too
many commitments to quit earlier,
and thus could make no primary
election campaign.
It was believed the other candi
dates in the Republican primary
would withdraw in McKay's favor.
They have until Monday to do
that. The two leading candidates
got Into the contest only after Gov. .
Paul Patterson, who was going to
run, dropped dead of a heart
attack.
McKay made mention of this,
too, as one of tht factors influenc
ing his decision. He said he had
been "moved in making my deci
sion by the example of the late
Paul Patterson."
It was generally believed Patter
son did not want to run but did
so because he was his party's best
vote winner and the one with the
best chance of unseating Morse.
After his death, Portland attor
ney Lamar Tooze and Portland
college aide Philip Hitchcock filed.
lie general view wns that Morse
had the edgo on cither.
Tuesday, McKay said, the Repub
lican National Committee asked
him to run. He said he came here
to think it over and to talk with
local party leaders.
After a morning of conferences
behind closed doors he issued his -
statement and left for Salem to
file.
McKay had a long political
career in Oregon before joining
President Eisenhower's cabinet.
He was mayor of Salem for two
terms, served in the state senate
representing Marion county for
several terms, although a portion
of the time he was serving in the
armed services
He was elected governor of
Oregon in ID-Ill and re-elected in
1950. He resigned In 1052 as
chief executive to become. Sec- ,
rotary of tho Interior, and was
succeeded by Paul Patterson.
then president of tho senate.
Willi the possible exception ot
Secretary of Agriculture Benson, '
McKay ' has taken the greatest ,
amount of criticism from tho
Democrats. . '
McKay has been charged with
give-away" of public lands, and
tho administration "partnership
nlan" for binltiing hydro jelcctrie
dams, has brought heaps of coal
on McKay's head by both Sena
tors Morse and Richard Neuber
gcr, as well as other Democratic
senators.
