Tuesday, May 14, 1W3 Willard McKinny Issues Statement Withdrawing Reinstatement Request ;..'.fjllard McKinny withdrew his request to the Klamath Union High School Board of Directors for immediate reinstatement as principal of Klamath Union High School. The surprise action came Won' day night at the regular board meeting when McKinny's attorney asked John Voth, board chair man, for time to read a pre pared statement staling the rea sons for the request withdrawal. The complete text of the state ' ment follows: ''Mr. Chairman and members of the Board: ' ' As all of you know I requested 'reinstatement as principal of Klamath Union High School at your meeting last Monday. My request was based on the fact that although my teaching certi ficate had been revoked by ac tion of the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction it was reinstated upon my filing an appeal from Wah Chang Sale Talked 4 ; ALBANY, Ore. UPII - Wall ; Chang Corp. was reported today - to be In advanced negotiations - with two New York companies to take financial interest and particl pate in Wall Chang's manage ment. Reliable sources In New York reported (hat Wall Chang's nego- ' tiations are establishing "close . cooperation" with W. R. firace ; and Co. and Ncwmont Mining ' Corp. both of New York.

Broadway's "Choice" Comedy Is On The Screen Bob HOPE Lucy BALL "CRITICS CHOICE" it his decision and there was no longer any legal imjicdiiricnt to my continuing as principal. I feel that the board's previous actions in supporting me with full knowl edge of the relevant facts indi cates their continuing support. Since my request lor reinstate ment was made, certain events have taken place which have caused me to make this addi tional statement. One considera tion is the fact that at the pres ent time your board is in a peri od of transition with two new members taking office. I cannot help but feel that I should not require them to vote on the issue of my reinstatement unless they (eel they have had an adequate opportunity to examine and be come apprised of the fads that led the former members, Mrs. Sheridan and Mr. Borsting, to support me. Secondly, and perhaps most im portant of all. is my deep and abiding concern for the welfare of my students at Klamath Union High School and for the orderly continuation of our education sys tem as a whole. I do not want to place the board in the posi tion of being unable to act in an orderly manner on the serious matters now before them and I do not want our educational sys tem to be disrupted by the ir responsible acts of a small dis cordant group. I understand that several rather radical actions have been threatened in the event I am reinstated; but I believe or at least hoie such actions will not be carried out. However, I do not want my position to become the springboard from which a vocal minority can dis rupt and attack our educational system. Based on these considerations 1 have decided to withdraw my formal request for current rein statement. I know that the board has reelected me as principal for next year with the qualification that I have a valid certificate on lile on or before July 1. As think most of you know, t have appealed the State Superintend ent's action to the State Board of Education and am confident thut at this hearing the matter can be cleared up anil that there will be no further question of my qualifications. I feel i could func lion without difficulty as princi pal in view of the strong support ol teachers, students and respon sible citizens; however if you, as a board, feel that education in our community can best be served by waiting for the decision of the Slute Board of Education be fore granting permanent reinstate ment, I am witling to accept your judgment. During the discussion of the question of my continuing principal at Klamath Union High Paroled Lifer Captured In Blazing Gun Battle ST.

State Police headquarters at Sa lem said Macomber had a long police record. He first hit the headlines in Oregon in 1950 when he hid out in the Cascade foothills for a week while being sought for burglaries in Linn County. He os eaed from officers once on a white horse, but finally was cor nered in a farmhouse. Both he and officer Kichnrd Knrtier were wounded in a gunfight before Ma cumber was arrested.

' School I have been greatly pleased and am deeply apprecia tive of the strong and continued support which I have received from members of the community including the teachers and stu dents at Klamath Union High School. I would like to take this opportunity to assure these sup porters that I appreciate their concern, and my action tonight should in no way be construed a: a withdrawal on my part. Kather it is one step toward the full reinstatement of my credentials which, I firmly believe will be the result of the State Board hearing. I would like to ask the many people who have evidenced their, willingness to support me to continue to coocrate with me and my counsel in the presenta tion of my appeal. AEC Cancels Three Tests WASHINGTON (UPII - The Atomic Energy Commission has cancelled three small nuclear tests planned for later this month at its Nevada testing grounds. It gave no reason for the action. The AEC made no mention of a Radio Moscow broadcast that hinted Russia might resume test ing if the United States followed through oi) the low-kiloton Nevada blasts. ' The cancellation announcement Monday followed White House con firmation that President Kennedy had received a letter recently from Soviet Premier Nlkila Khru shchev concerning test-ban talks in Geneva. U.S. sources said Khrushchev's letter, which also went to British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, look the test-ban issue "neither forward nor backward." Tlie Soviet leader's message re plied to one Kennedy and Macmil Ian sent last April in an effort to get the deadlocked test-ban talks moving again. They urged that discussions be intensified on the mechanics of on-site inspec tions, bypassing until later the dis pute over the specific number of inspections each year. " --r-.

Tlie department said Monday it would not opimse this year ac creditation for the Hungarian dele gation at the United Nations. The lack of credentials for tlie delega lion has left tlie Hungarians in a uncertain stale while allowing them In participate in U.N. activi ties.
