Mike Monroney tugged back and forth yesterday in a tight race for Oklahoma's Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.

If neither wins a majority of votes cast in the seven-man race 1 a July 25 run-off race will be necessary. Prime issues in the Senate race have been farm price supports and public power policies.

This extension of the original plan for a limited degree of eco- nomic unity was made as dele- gates of six Western European nations began drafting details of the revolutionary treaty to pool coal and steel production under a supra-national authority. * * * THE SIX countries - France, Western Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxem- bourg - have agreed on princi- ples for such union. They set up five working committees today to hammer out the details. These committees will work in strictest secrecy. None of their decisions will be made pub- lic until they are ready to re- port to a general plenary ses- sion. The new agricultural plan, drawn up by officers and experts from the farm organizations of France and Germany, will be pre- sented to government officials of the two countries.

New French Cabinet Fills On First Test PARIS - (P) - Premier Henri Queuille's new government was toppled by the votes of Socialists, Communists and De Gaullists on its first test in the National As- sembly yesterday, 336 to 221. The vote came on a point of procedure. Two questions had been placed before the House by opposition deputies on the make- up of the cabinet and the policy it intended to follow. Queuille asked that the questions be pig- eon-holed. The Assembly rejected his request. People were being killed in ac- tivities associated with the holi- day observance slightly faster than at a rate of one every ten minutes. Last year, only 296 were killed in traffic accidents during the three-day Fourth of July obser- vance. The postwar record for holi- day traffic fatalities was set dur- ing last year's three-day Labor Day week end - 410. The all time record ,was set in Christmas week 1936 when 761 met, violent death - 55 in traffic ac- cidents. There was not a single fire- works fatality.

AT VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Gen- eral of the Army Dwight D. Eisen- hower told the National Boy Scout Jamboree that the U.S. decision to aid the South Koreans was "ines- capable." Speaking at an Independence Day rally of 47,000 Boy Scouts attending the second national Jamboree, General Eisenhower said the South Koreans' only "crime" has been "the desire to live their own lives as they chose, at peace with the rest of the world." "Now," he added, "our decision must be carried to its conclusion by whatever means are necessary. The end is difficult to see. But for us in Valley Forge,, where every field and hill and stream reminds us of George Washington, how can we doubt eventual success if we meet these issues firmly?" * * * IN WASHINGTON, John Foster Dulles warned the nation that it faces a heavy task in its struggle with Communism and "before it is finished we shall all of us have to pay a price."

Douglas MacArthur probably will be named United Nations com- mander for the Korean.police ac- tion and the forces under him will be given the right to fly the United Nations flag. Diplomats said today those two steps are included in a formula being considered here as a means of solving the Korean command' problems. The problems arise from the fact that the United Nations has never been able to form police forces of its own and must now rely in Korea on forces sent in by member nations under last wee's Security Council resolution. MEANWHILE, in Reykjavik, Iceland, the government notified UN Secretary General Trygve Lie that it approves the Security Council's decision on Korea. And the Israeli Parliament ap- proved the govenment's action backing up the United Nations Security Council's resolution call- ing for aid to South Korea. * *-* IN WASHINGTON, the Army discounted any immediate pros- pect of mobilizing reserves or us- ing the draft to marshal new man- power in conneetion with the Ko- rean war crisis.

'U' Operations Budgret OK'd By Regents A University budget for 1950-51 current operations of $18,364,747- less than last year's by $410,000- has been approved by the Board of Regents. "The reduction has been made in such a way as to minimize its adverse effect upon the teaching programs"-so far as possible, Pro- vyost James P. Adams said in an- nouncing the budget. However, the University will have 30 fewer teachers next year. A LOSS OF more than half a million dollars from an expected reduction in revenue from student fees was a major factor in the reduced budget, Provost Adams said. This came mainly from a reductionin the number of vet- erans attending school under the GI Bill.
