Knight Says
He'll Run
For Senate
WASHINGTON () - GOP Gov.
Goodwin J. Knight of California
abandoned his campaign for re-
election to bid for a Senate seat
yesterday.
Vice President Richard M. Nix-
on promptly wheeled out a glow-
ing endorsement of a Knowland-
Knight ticket for governor and
senator.
After conferences with Presi-
dent. Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Vice-President Nixon4 Knight said
he is yielding the field to Sen.
William Knowland (R-Calif.) in
the race for the 1958 Republican
nomination for governor.
Gov. Knight said he will bid
for the seat wrhich Sen. Knowland
will vacate in January 1959 In
what is regarded as a possible pre-
liminary move for Knowland to
seek the GOP presidential nomi-
nation in 1960 or later.
Gov. Knight said President
Eisenhower was "pleased to -know
we w o u l d n't have a bitter
struggle" in the governorship pri-
mary which might split the Re-
publican party in California and
possibly pave the way to election
of a Democrat as governor next
year.
Gov. Knight also told a news
conference he' had the' "unquali-
fied endorsement and approval"
of Nixon.
Vice-President Nixon backed
this up with a statement pledging
"my full support" to the nomina-
tion of Sen. Knowland as governor
and Gov. Knight as senator.
Gov. Knight's decision appar-
ently cleared the way for . Sen.
Knowland to get the nomination
for governor without a fight.
Vice-President Nixon, an ob-
vious candidate for the 1960 presi-
dential nomination, said Sen.
Knowland has "superb, qualifica-
tions" for the office of governor.
He said he is confident Gov.
Knight "will prove to be one of
the most articulate anc effectivp
supporters of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration in the Senate."
Along with Vice-President Nix-
on, President Eisenhower, was
quoted as expressing Measure that
California Republicans had out-
wardly patched up their differ-
ences.

Gaillard Gets
24th Postwar,
Premiership
PARIS (IP)-Felix Gaillard last
night won approval as France's
24th postwar premier.
. The victory came on Gaillard's
38th birthday and gives him the
distinction of being the youngest
premier in French Republican his-
tory.
The official result of the vote in
the National Assembly was an-
nounced as 337 for Gaillard, 173
against.
Assembly acceptance of Gaillard
has been virtually certain since
Sunday when the Socialists , and
right-wing independent Republi-
cans decided to give him their
.votes and join his government.
All parties of the Assembly had
become weary of the Cabinetcrisis.
It had dragged on for 36 days
because of bitter political squab-
bling among the deputies.
The 36-day life of the crisis
equalled the post-war record for
intervals between governments.
Wayne State
Seeks Funds
For Expansion'
Wayne State University an-
nounced yesterday that legislative,
funds will be sought to expand its
medical school and the labor-man-
agement relations program ad-
ministered jointly with the Uni-'
versity.
The Legislature will be asked for
$585,000,,of which $285,000 will be
earmarked to increase the capacity
of the medical school, ;Clarence B.
Hilberry, President of Wayne State
University said.
Wayne's medical school, the only
one in Michigan besides the Uni-
versity's, would increase the fresh-
man class from 75 to 125. The
amount of supporting funds need-
ed would eventually rise to nearly
a million dollars a year as the
upper classes increase in size.
The University's medical school
in Ann Arbor has a freshman class
of 200 and tentative plans to es-
tablish a third state medical school
in Grand Rapids were revealed at
a Regents meeting last May.
University President Harlan
Hatcher has gone an record in
support of expanding Wayne's
facilities before any other schools
are built.:

by Britain and seconded by Russia
and Yugoslavia.
If Russia succeeds in hitting the
moon first, she would establish
symbolic right to its possession
under existing internal law, Haley
said.
"Anyone who, controls the moon,
controls the earth and becomes
capable of destroying anything on
it."
He said he would not be sur-
prised if a Russian rocket was al-
ready heading to the moon.:,
Speaking under the auspices of
the Law School Student Bar Asso-
ciation and the Engineering Re-
search Institute, Haley 'suggested
the United States take the lead in
calling a world-wide conference
to internationalize out space in-
cluding the moon. j
"No single nation has a para-
mount claim to outer space nor a
monopoly on the scientific genius
which will soo make its explora-
tion and exploitation a reality.
The field of astronautics (space
travel) will progress only as Inter-,
national cooperation in this field is
achieved."
Haley said Russia would par-
tiqipate in such a conference, even
in view of its apparent lead in
satellite and rocket development.
"I've always found their scien-
tists in this particular field quite
cooperative'."
He noted that a "valid and bind-
ing world pact emerged from the
acts of agreement and coopera-
tion" which preceded the first
satellite. launching for scientific
purposes during the International
Geophysical Year.
U.S. Economyv
Less Stable
The director of the National
Planning Association yesterday
said the United States economy,
because of excess productive ca-
pacity, is in a more precarious:po-
sition than it was in either 1949
or 1953.
Speaking before the closing
session of the Conference' on
Economic Outlook, Gerhard Colm
criticized both those who view
the present economic picture with
complacency and those who fatal-
istically predict a major depres-
sion.
