MCKAY TO LEAVE INTERIOR POST
TO SEEK MORSE'S SENATE SEAT
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, .R-Secretary
of the Interior Mckay announced
Friday he will leave the Cabinet
post about June to seek the us.
Senate seat for Oregon now held
by Sen. Morse. Morse, elected as
a Republican, is seeking re-elec-
ton as a Democrat.
The former governor of Color
ado, Dan Thornton, was reported
to be under White House consid-
Grafton to replace Mckay.
Thornton, one of EisenhoWer's
preconvention supporters in 1852,
was said to be only one of several
westerners being discussed after
Mckay was reported to have been
personally nudged into the Oregon
race by the President.
Thornton has been a strong
supporter and a frequent golfing
companion of the President, and
there were indications that he had
something of an inside track for
the post.
Thornton's Opposition
However, he has opposition from
some Republicans who didn't rel
ish his refusal to run for the Sen
ate from his home state in 1854
Sen. Allott (R-Colo), then lieuten-
ant governor, made successful
race after Thornton bowed out
to return to private business.
Along with others whose names
didn't Immediately come to the
surface, Asst. Secretary of the In
terror Wesley A. D'Ewart was be-
ing mentioned as a possibility.
Like Mckay, D'Ewart, a former
Montana congressman, has been
under fire from Democrats, but
not to the same extent as Mckay.
likes Influence Seen
Mckay bowed out of what most
Republicans regarded as the rela-
tive security of a Cabinet post,
good for four more years, to enter
a Senate campaign where the out
come is uncertain.
Informed COP officials here
credited Eisenhower personally
with swaying McKay's unexpect-
ed decision to enter the lists
against Morse, although Mckay
said in Salem, Ore, Friday that
Eisenhower had not asked him
to run.
For a COP Senate
Some Republicans said the Sc
quence of events disclosed the
Presidents intense interest in re-
gaining control of the Senate for
the Republicans. A one-vote COP
gain in the new Senate could
change that control, with the help
of a tie-ibreaking vote by the

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-It's odd
that when you try to think back
over the year in sports the pic
ture suddenly becomes jumbled
and blurred and lacking in con-
,tinuity, as if all the events had
been dumped willy-nilly into a
hamper and shaken up and you
were looking at them through
the wrong part Of your bifocals.
And it's also odd that most of
the items that do emerge fairly
clearly are minor in nature;
sidelights of the great pano-
rama - a facial expression, a
poignant scene. a casual remark.
Naturally a few major events
stand out. Nobody who saw it
ever can forget Don Larsen's per-
feet World Series game, drama
without parallel for sustained
and growing tension. But when
we think Of Larsen we also think
Of him standing alone In front
Of his locker the next day. ig-
nored as interest centered on
Bob Turley. who was fresh news
rs he had pitched that day.
And you can't forget Cary
Middlecoff's victory in the Ma
1ional Open. But again another
picture intrudes. this time of a
dog-tired Ben Hogan. a little
man so alone in a crowd. trudg-
ing to the list green. And his
stoicism on missing a 30-inch
putt although he knew 1t had
cost him the chance to at least
tie for the championship.
You think of the surprising
showing Of the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates over the season. But the
more vivid picture is that Of
Bobby Bragan at Fort Myers
and his wide-eyed establishment
that reporters would take the
trouble to make the trip down
there to see a new manager Of
q last-place club.
It's not hard to call back the
fairly recent picture of Archie
Moore going down from the
sharp. clean left uppercut de-
livered by Floyd Patterson. but
even clearer is the image Of the
tired. worried expression on
Moore's face as he went to his
corner after the preceding round I:
a flabby, detected man suddenly
turning old.
