to get talks started as quickly as possible on how the canaRis to be opeiated once it is reopened Face to Face Later The United States would stay out of the talks to be held in New York but would be ready to use its influence with both sides in order to speed a settlement The British and French governments by going along with objections to direct talks in the initial stages hope it will be possible to arrange face to face meetings later to settle the six-month-old Suez deadlock Under the plan now being worked officials said Hammarskjold would meet with the British and French to hear their views then relay these views to the Egyptians who would be in another room Previous Principles After meeting separately with the Egyptians Hammarskjold would on their reaction to the British and

been generally successful in efforts to maintain orderly marketing conditions They also expressed be-hef that dairymen involved should everything they can to run then- own rather than asking for

Col Reds Promise Aid ToEastGermany Californian Seen Maneuvering for '60 Presidential Ticket By JACK BELL WASHINGTON UR Sen Know-land (R-Calif) appears to be moving himself toward a position where he can challenge Vice President Nixon and all other comers tor the 1960 GOP presidential nomination Knowland the Republican leader announced Monday a carefully considered decision not to seek re-election to the Senate next year His term expires in January 1959 But he declined to eliminate himself as a possible contender for the Republican nomination for the California governorship 1958 And neither would he close the door against another -bid for the Republican presidential nomination Significantly Knowland said he has to relinquish his position as Republican leader during the two years remaining in his term That job keeps him prominently in the public eje In Senate Since 1945 Knowland 48 was appointed to the Senate by then Gov Earl Warren in August 1945 He be-carpg'lSenate GOP Leader in 1953 after the death of Sen Robert Taft Of Ohio Aftei first informing President Eisenhower and his GOP colleagues of his intentions Know-land told a news conference he is quitting the Senate to spend more time in California with his wife three children five grandchildren and 'elderly father He said he wants to become moie active as assistant publisher of The Oakland Tribune of which his father is publisher lie replied only "no to questions about whether he will seek the California governorship in 1958 or the presidential nomination in 1960 Switch With Knight? But politicians probed -behind reasons he gave and many of them thought they came up with a carefully drawn plan for Know-land to seek the California- gov-ernorship as stepping stone for a renewed bid for the presidency To get the GOP nomination for governor Knowland probably would have to convince Republican Gov Goodwin Knight that his best chance for political advancement lay in seeking to fill the Senate seat Knotfland is vacating If Knight declined to be convinced Knowland would have to face a primary battle with Knight if the senator chose to seek the nomination announcement apparently caught Knight by surprise He told newsmen In Sacramento Calif he know what to make of it He said he has no intention of running for the Sen ate but declined to say whether he would seek renominationn for governor Some Knowland associates in Washington said they believed the senator had decided that if he wants to be president he will have to break the threeway knot that now exists over potential control of the hefty California delegation to the Republican convention four years from now Everybody Surprised As senator he would have to deal with Knight or Nixon with the prospect that the delegation would be split two or possibly three ways-But as governor he would have disposed of Knight and probably could wrest the delegation away from Nixon leav-'ing the latter without a "home In California Republican leaders were surprised and Democrats talked with- some glee of decision to leave the Senate The Democratic Atty Geb Edmund Brown predicted that Republicans will have a good tussle aipong themselves during the net couple of years and it will be good for the Within two hours of announcement California Controller Robert Kirkwood sent around a news release saying he will

declared the state should start at once on a highway tunnel through the Continental Divide An increase in pay for state workers also was asked But nowhere in his 24-page prepared speech did the new governor say flatly whether he wants the present income tax level retained as suggested Friday by retiring £lov Johnsoij 6i whether he wants it to go back to the old levels His go-slow policy hinfed at retention of the" present level however He Indicated to a reporter the subject may be treated later In a special budget message McNlchols called for 19 state agencies which he said are concerned
