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ficate had been revoked by ac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

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.

question of my continuing

Allen, 41, was reported in flood

Longvicw, Wash. He was shot in
the neck when lie surprised a
man and a woman in a Rainier
tavern.
Arrested at (load h lock
Macomber and Donna Hedges,
27. Portland, were arrested by St.
Helens police at a roadblock a
few minutes after the gunfire
erupted.
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.
Macoml)cr was sentenced to life
in prison for assault with intent
to kill, hut in September of
he escaped.
Bullrt Near Heart
After dodging Oregon and Cali
fornia police for six weeks, he
was downed by three bullets and
aken hack to prison. A (.rants
Pass physician left one of the
bullets in Macomher's body, say
ing it was too close to the heart
to be removed safetly.
Macomber then resorted to lc
,il moves in an attempt to gain
his freedom. His last appeal was
turned down IVc. lit. i;;a. Peni
tentiary records show he was pa
roled Oct. 19.
Columbia County Sheriff Hny
ilburn said Macomber will Ik
ransferred to Multnomah Con fl
y's Rocky Butte Jail as soon as
his condition permits. The sheriff
said Columbia County has no fa
cilities for treating wounded pris
oners. '
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.

day of relaxing its diplomatic
pressure against Hungary begun
after the attempted Budapest rev
olution of 1956.
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.
Officials said the action would
still leave tlie United Stales Iree
to oppose Hungarian membership
it there were strong congressional
opposition. '
Stale Department spokesman
Joseph W. Reap said further U.S.
policy changes towards the' Red
sutellite. such as full diplomatic
relations, would depend on "fur
Iher developments." The present
U.S. delegation to Hungary is
headed by a charge d'affaires
rather than an ambassador.
