Gov.

Harry Lee Waterfield formally entered the gubernatorial derby today and pledged himself to the "goals of our present programs of state government." Waterfield, an unannounced candidate for the Democratic nomination since election to his present position, in 1955, said he would pursue his own Inde pendent course. He said he was naturally pleased that Governor Chan dler Is for him, just as he was glad "to have the assurances of other fine Kentuckians that I will have tiieir support." He prefaced the Chandler reference with this statement: "No single man or group of men has motivated my decision to run. I am grateful for the response from citizens of the state to my statement of inten tions to announce." FORMAL announcements were made earlier by Wilson W. Wyatt of Louisville and Bert T. Combs of Prestonburg, each as an anti-admmistration candi date.

Waterfield said his intention was to deal with essentials. "As my opponents and their forces in the campaign engage in personal mudslinging, he added, "I ask yorr tolerance, for we as Kentuckians have more important decisions to make about our future." Declaring that "state govern ment is bigger than personal! ties," he continued: 'My opponents, and the forces behind them, choose to devote their full energies to bickering and intrigues for personal and factional achievement. Of this, I will have no part" Little People's World Larry Smith and his friends: Strange little creatures people the world of a puppeteer, "Purple People Eaters" and all! Gosh, It's Strange World the particular ambitions of par-! ticular men," he said. "As far as I am concerned, this campaign will not be based on personalities or biased emotionalism. The people have the final say as to which man's character, experience and sin cerity of purpose suit them best." I WATERFIELD said he be lieves sincerely the state is poised at the crossroads of political decision.

We can develop our re sources and devote our energies to continuation of improved standards in education, health, agriculture, highways and a better business climate. For this I ask the opportunity of leader ship. "More ii at stake than test ing the prevailing political winds. Public trust is nothing less than moral character plus the competency to go ahead. There can be no neutrality on whether Kentucky will make the most of its finest hour.

"I believe In the goals of our present programs of state gov ernment. They must be expanded. Your expressions and your actions Indicate that these also are the objectives sought by the majority of Kentuckians. "My fervent prayer is that I may merit your active support and good will for the program I will propose in the course of of my campaign. I will be responsive always to your call He spoke at the Kentucky shorthorn field day at the University of Kentucky's Coldstream Farm.

In a serious vein, Water-field said research at Coldstream will benefit the state's entire economy, but particularly that of farmers. DR. WILLIAM SEAY, vice director of the UK Experiment Station, said increasing population will raise the demand for Houses Out Of Reach WASHINGTON. June 28 LT) The National Housing Conference said today fewer than SO per cent of American families, can afford to buy and maintain a new house at today's prices. It made this estimate on the basis of a survey of 29 cities and on the assumption that a family should not spend more than one-fifth of its Income for housing.

The conference Is a private group which has plugged for Federal public housing programs since 1931. Its survey showed that the range In minimum prices for new three-bedroom houses was from $8295 In Phoenix, and $8990 in a New York City suburb to $15,000 In Rochester, N. Y. It said the lowest possible Income for carrying a new house ranged from $4864 in Norfolk, to $9564 In Erie, Pa. To Television Puppeteer Letters Help Waterfield They Find Bull Park Business Is Are Up $104,2 11 LEXINGTON, June 28 UP) Lt.

Gov. Harry Lee Waterfield said today the 75,000 letters he recently sent to voters have accomplished at least one thing: He's sold all the shorthorn bulls available from hit herd. Waterfield noted the letters, seeking political views of the( public, were written on his farm stationary carrying the picture of a bull. His day-to-day companions inculde a "Purple People Eater," a scholarly mouse named Teaser, a rooster named Rudy and a mean old named Hattie. Larry is the puppeteer for WCPO's morning television shows for children.

His cloth and clay creations cavort in fantasyland situations that rival Walt Disney's. And judging from Larry's fan mail, a vast army of Cincinnati children are caught up in the situations he creates. Right now, for instance, there's a tense one going on Harry's first morning show, "Willie Wonderful Time," from 8 to 9 a. m. Rudy and Teaser have got to rescue Hattie the Witch's cat from the Land Behind the Moon, where she (the cat) was dispatched in a space rocket.

Some 60 letters a day are pouring in. The childish scrawls are full of suggestions on how to achieve this difficult engineering feat. Most of the mail contains illustrative drawings, and some rather harsh suggestions aimed at removing the troublesome Hattie for good. One child wants Teaser and Rudy, the show's heroes, to pour a bottle of liquid detergent on both Hattie and the Steelers-Oertel's Clash Groundhog, who sells underground real estate to the other puppet-animals during the winter season. Larry's television day is just getting a good start with the close of the Willie Wonderful show at 9 a.

m. He and his puppets move then to the stage of the "Uncle Al Lewis Show," where they work until 10 a. m. Larry also serves as Mr. Scarecrow there, pantomiming song.

From 11 a. m. to noon, he and the puppets are part of the "Al and Wanda Lewis Show," where Larry dons another costume and stomps about the stage as Roger the Robot while march music plays. When the camera day ends at noon, Larry usually spends several hours working up new situations for the puppets, many of them inspired by the letters and the children who visit the shows. Larry gets as animated as any of the toddler audience when discussing problems of his Fantasy Forest.

"There are always new. ideas to work with and new puppets to make," he says, pointing to a cluttered work-table in a small trailer parked beside the TV station. If he makes many more, he'll have to find a new home for them. His puppet family now numbers more than 100, many of them born during the three years he worked in puppetry for WHIO-TV in his home town, Dayton, Ohio, before coming here. Some of the puppets date from when Larry was just six years old.

"That was when I first got Interested in puppets," Larry says. "I made my first marionettes then, using pop-side sticks for the controls. I hauled them around the neighborhood in a wagon, giving shows wherever there was a crowd of kids." Receipts By Sam V.
