Because of this the Massachusetts senator Is expected to make wide ranging forays into presidential primaries. He has been unable to lure any of his prospective opponents into his New England stronghold and apparently will run alone on the Democratic ticket in New Hampshires March 8 Democratic primary. Unless there are unforeseen developments he will take on Hum in Wisconsins April 5 voting. The whole field of aspirants and some who claim they are not apparently will be entered in Oregons May 20 free-for-all, where a mans name can be enteied without his consent. Kennedy also may enter Ohios May 3 primary, despite the current opposition of Gov.

Michael V. DiSalle, himself a Catholic, who wants Ohios favorite son designation. Sen. Frank Lausche (D-Ohio) also may seek favorite son status in the Ohio balloting. "For it is in the executive branch that the most crucial decisions of this century must be made in the next four years," Kennedy said.

Arms Race Solution He said these decisions Involve how to end or alter the burdensome arms race, where Soviet gains already threaten our very existence." Other decisions, Kennedy said, will involve maintaining the freedom and order in newly emerging nations, rebuilding the stature of American science and education, and how to prevent the collapse of our farm economy and the decay of our cities. Also involved, Kennedy said, are decisions on how to achieve, without further infla-t i or unemployment, expanded economic growdh benefiting all Americans and how to give direction to our traditional moral purpose, awakening every American to the dangers and opportunities that confront us. Kennedy, the first Roman Catholic to bid seriously for his partys nomination since A1 Smith was defeated in 1928, said he will campaign on those issues in the drive for the nomination. Reflecting the political necessities of his position as a front-runner without sufficient votes now to win the nomination, Kennedy said he will submit his name in several primaries.

Nixon disclosed recently that they had been holding a series of meetings with both union and company officials as part of the administrations behind-the-scenes effort to find agreement. Nixon was expected to join in the conferences again after he returns from the West Coast, where he attended the New Years Day Rose Bowl football game.

According to Nixon, President Eisenhower is being kept fully informed of so far it appears there has been little to report. Chances are remote that the controversy will be set til'd before the Steelworkers vote Jan. 11-13 on the companys final contract offer. McDonald has predicted the 200,000 Steelworkers will vote overwhelmingly to reject It. The balloting is required by the Taft-IIartley law before an 80-day back-to-work order expires Jan.
