Bark- ley In offering himself to Kentucky as a candidate for Congress this fall. The 76-year-old former vice president opened his campaign for the U. 8. Senate last night with an acid attack on the Elsenhower administration, concentrating on Its farm, foreign aid and labor programs. 8,000 On Hand An estimated 8,000 persons gathered in this agricultural center also heard the seasoned campaigner from Paducah challenge his opponent Senator John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky), 53, on the authorship of tobacco price supports.

Noting that Cooper has taken "sole credit" for the 1948 act setting price supports at 90 per cent of parity, Barkley said 'he took the amendment to Cooper for Introduction. "I did so after the late Senator Virgil Chapman (D-Ky), then a representative, said he could not secure Its adoption In the predominantly Republican House," Barkley asserted. Cooper Replies In Ashland, after hearing a tape recording of Berkley's address, Cooper insisted he alone was responsible for the amendment. Barkley asserted that the Democrats "enacted such an enormous program of constructive and far reaching legislation" during their 20 years' control of this nation's government "that even the Ineptitude of the present regime has been able to escape a major depression.1' In bis prepared speech, Bark- Lower Freight Rates On Coal Cooper's Aim A HUNTINQTON, W.

Described as a "droo in the bucket" the foreign aid program under which 10 million tons of coal will be produced and exported, Senator Cooper said the long-range plan eventually will call for the marketing of 200 million tons. Cooper again criticized the Democrats for their, "tragic record ot neglect," accusing the Roosevelt and Truman administrations of failing to achieve any real Drmrress in the canalization of the Bin Sandy and Kentucky Rivers, Proposed UNITED NATIONS.

N. Oct, 1 Wi Andrei Vlshlnsky called last night for a program of arms re duction with nuclear weap ons to be eliminated at the half-way mark. The western Big Three cautiously termed the Soviet proposal a move in the right direction. Winding up a policy speech of an hour and 40 minutes to the UN General Assembly, the chief. our ict acirgatc suomiiiea a long resolution containing the most detailed and complex disarmament program his government has offered in the UN's nine-year history.

Vlshinskv brushed over Prati. dent Elsenhower's proposal' of an atomu pool lor peaceful purposes. He said the United States so far has failed to come up with any concreU idea on atomlo weapon controL Treaty Resjuested The Soviet delegate asked the Assembly to have the UN Dis armament Commission prepare a treaty for the Security Council providing for this program of arms reduction and elimination of nu clear weapons: 1. Agreement by the nations on total cuts they would make in their arms, troops and military appropriations and the accomplishment of 50 per cent of these reductions within 6 to 12 months; 2. Creation of a temporary in ternatlonsJ control commission under the Security Council to find out whether the nations are complying with the treaty; 8.

The remain cent reduction in conventional arms to be made within Jo 12 months after completion oT the first disarmament phase: 4. Manufacture of hydrogen and atomic weapons to cease as soon as the second period for arms reduction begins; 5. During this second period, the nations also would carry out "complete prohibition of atomic, hydrogen and other types of weapons of mass destruction and their complete elimination from the armaments of states." Thereafter "all existing atomic materials are used for peaceful purposes only." Check Proposed 6. Creation of a permanent international control organ to check on continued observance of the treaty. In contrast to his dismissal of the U.

Three foreign ministers met on the sovereignty question.

The full rearmament conference met to complete agreement on a for controlling European armaments, including those of a sovereign West Germany. The Big declaration of Intent was said to stipulate the Allied alms on giving the federal republic sovereignty. It will produce an "Immediate effect" by preventing certain Allied measures now being taken under the occupation statute from being carried out without prior German con- sept, the sources predicted. Cooperative Spirit They Said the ministers worked in an "extremely cooperative spirit" The new formula controlling European armaments was expected to be approved by the full conference within the next 48 hours, authoritative sources said. Under the formula the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's military commander in.

chief, now U. Oen. Alfred M. would have police powers over armies of the nations signing the IMS Brussels pact This pact would be extended to include West Germany and Italy, The sources said that armament controls will be dictated under- the Brussels treaty, but enforced by NATO. Strict Control Of Troops New powers planned fcjjOruen-ther would include- strict control In peace as well as war over the movement of troop units, 'the sources said.

For example they said, Italy could never again move her troops to the border of Yugoslavia as she did last fall during the Trieste crisis unless the shift was cleared by the Allied supreme commander. Likewise Oerman troops would need such clearance to shift to the French border. The nine-powers, who already have agreed in principle to let Germany's initial rearmament total 600,000 men, are thrashing out other details before the control agreement is sent to experts for drafting.
