Boyd Promises 'Fight' In Race for Governor
TOPEKA — (UPI) — McDill (Huck) Boyd of Phillipsburg, a newspaper publisher and editor, announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor today and promised a "fighting campaign."
Boyd, 52, paid his $165 filing fee in the Secretary of State's office.
"I have been in each congressional district and I have seen personally as many people as possible." he said.
He goes into the campaign with two already-announced opponents—Atty. Gen. John Anderson, Jr., and State Rep. William H. Addington of Elkhart.
"I feel that certain impressions about the present Democratic administration have been created that need to be corrected." he said.
Boyd said he based his decision to seek the nomination on a recent survey of the state.
"The response has been overwhelming and has surpassed my expectations. Citizens in all parts of the state have assured me of their complete support. They like my approach to this campaign and the philosophy of government I have expressed."
Boyd said he would start immediately to discuss the issues of the general election.
"This will be a fighting campaign. Issues will be discussed in complete frankness and in plain language. I intend to direct much of my campaign against that small group of ill-tempered Democrats
who show more inclination to quibble among themselves than to give Kansas stable government."
Boyd's announcement came only a day after two who had been considered contenders for the GOP nomination announced they would not be candidates. They were Gale Moss of Wichita, general manager of the Kansas Turnpike Authority, and Glenn Cogswell of Topeka, former candidate for lieutenant governor.
He worked in national Republican headquarters in Chicago when Alf Landon ran for president in the late 1930's.
Boyd is editor of the Phillips County Review. He and his family own that paper and the Jewell County Record, both weeklies.
Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1960
Boyd served one term on the State Board of Regents and was chairman during his last year in office. He was not reappointed by Gov. George Docking in 1958.
Boyd served as executive secretary to former Gov. Ed Arn in 1953-54. He was executive secretary of the Republican party in Kansas in 1952.

Kansas State's 'Nasty Nine' Will Entertain at Rock Chalk
The between-the-skits-act of the 1960 Rock Chalk Revue will include a newly initiated feature.
A singing group from Kansas State University, known as the "Nasty Nine" has been chosen as one of the in-between acts. In past years all the entertainment has been from the KU students.
The idea will work as an exchange program between the two schools. One of the entertainers from KU for Rock Chalk will be chosen later to perform at K-State's Y-Orpheum, a production similar to Rock Chalk.
Members of the Rock Chalk staff said this idea will help to promote better relationships between the two schools and this is one of the main reasons for the program. The K-State group was chosen through audition.
According to Roger Stanton, Maryville senior and producer of Rock Chalk, exchanges between schools in the Big Eight has been contemplated in previous years.
KU students will get an opportunity to hear the singing group before Rock Chalk on March 18 and 19. The "Nasty Nine" will sing several numbers at half-time of the KU-Colorado basketball game on Feb. 20.
"The Nasty Nine" are well known on the K-State campus and are made up of boys from Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The group plays bongo drums, guitars and sings. The music resembles that of the Kingston Trio.
The meeting of the Humanities Forum, originally scheduled for 7:30 tonight, has been postponed until 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17.
Humanities Forum Meeting Postponed
CIO Leader to Speak At Faculty Forum
N. J. Yount, vice-president of the Committee on Political Education for the Kansas CIO, will speak tomorrow at the Faculty Forum luncheon in the English Room of the Kansas Union. Mr. Yount's topic will be "The Legislative Program of Labor in Kansas."
The luncheon will start at noon and there will be a discussion period held at 1 P.M.
Will a printing error give Gov. George Docking a chance to pocket veto the $3.9 million school construction bill which would provide $1,430,000 for a unit of an engineering building at the University?
The Chicago Tribune's Latin American correspondent, Jules Dubois, will give the 11th annual William Allen White lecture at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser Theater.
Dubois to Give White Lecture Tomorrow at 3
Before he delivers his talk, Mr. Dubois will receive the William Allen White Foundation's 1960 national citation for journalistic merit.
The Legislature last week rushed through the $3.9 appropriation. It was hurriedly passed so that the governor would not have a chance to use his pocket veto. The printing error which delayed the bill has given him that chance.
He will speak at 4 p.m. today at the Spanish Club in 11 Fraser.
In recent years Mr. Dubois has been known for his coverage of the Fidel Castro revolt against the Bastia government in Cuba.
The faculty group going to Costa Rica will meet with Mr. Dubois at a luncheon Thursday. At 2 p.m. Thursday, he will meet with the journalism class, editorial problems and policies.
The veteran correspondent will take part in a question-answer session at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union at a dinner sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, and Theta Sigma Phi, women's professional journalism fraternity.
Today, everyone concerned with the measure is wondering whether the governor will take advantage of the delay or will act on the bill. If Docking so desires, he can hold the bill until after the Legislature adiours Wednesday.
Had Been Hurried
Yesterday the Democrat-managed state printing plant was a day late in delivering the bill to Docking because of a printing error.
KU's Engineering Unit Near a Veto
Since Castro's victory, he has stayed close to Cuban developments. In recent months he has been under severe attack by the Castro regime because of his revelations as to methods and policies of the governments.
Recently Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan was given a close look at the land reform cornerstone of Castro's regime and praised it highly.
Mikoyan hinted that his Cuban journey might be the beginning of a trade agreement between Russia and Cuba.
When the suggestion of a pineapple-for-tractor swap came up, Mikoyan enthusiastically replied, "Deal made."
This excursion by Russia into Latin America has been a diplomatic one, but a number of U.S. Officials have become concerned over growing Soviet influence in this area which, they charge, is of a subversive nature.
Jules Dubois
The United States has 9 million dollars invested in Latin America.
Since 1951 Mr. Dubois has been chairman of the freedom of the press committee of the Inter-American Assn. In that capacity he has conducted crusades for freedom of the press.
McCarthyism Began Decade Ago
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Ten years ago tonight a fairly obscure Republican senator made a Lincoln Day speech to the Ohio County Women's Republician Club in Wheeling, W. Va.
"I have here in my hand," he was quoted as saying, "a list of 205 State Department employees known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department."
Before his death a little more than seven years later, McCarthy had given his name to an era, clashed with presidents, cabinet members and Communists and had been censured by the Senate with headline repercussions throughout the world.
Without advance fanfare, the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin had plunged into a stormy personal career unparalleled in American political history.
McCarthy's charges made only a minor immediate ripple.
Accusation Repeated
Accusation Repeated On the next two nights in Salt
A week later, McCarthy held the Senate floor from mid-afternoon until nearly midnight, citing his case in detail. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee directed Sen. Millard Tydings (D-Md) to hold hearings on the charges. From that point on, McCarthy held the center of the political stage.
Lake City and Reno, McCarthy repeated his general accusation and the story began to snowball. Deputy Undersecretary of State John Peurifoy held a special press conference to counter the charges on Feb. 13.
He accused a Johns Hopkins University professor, Owen Lattimore, of being "the top Russian espionage agent" in this country. He helped defeat Tydings for reelection and was a potent political factor in 1952 when the Republicans won the Senate and Dwight D. Eisenhower swept to the presidency.
As chairman of the Senate Investigations Committee, McCarthy presided over a series of explosive hearings into Communism both at home and abroad. The names of
two of his key assistants — Roy Cohn and David Schine — became familiar to millions at home and abroad.
Antagonized Pentagon
McCarthy antagonized the Pentagon when he told Brig. Gen. Ralph Zwicker, commanding officer at Ft. Monmouth, N. J., he was "A disgrace to the uniform." At issue was the fact that a New York dentist, Irving Peres, had been promoted to Major before his discharge even though he had been accused of Communist leanings.
The army accused Cohn of trying to coerce favored treatment for Schine who was drafted as a private. McCarthy countered Schine was being held "hostage" by the army to cut off his investigations. Ray Jenkins, a Knoxville, Tenn. attorney entered the scene as counsel for the special Senate investigation that ensued and a Boston attorney, Joseph Welch dueled with McCarthy as Army counsel.
The Senator's impact on the national scene has diminished since his censure by the Senate and his death in 1957. But most of
those who came into the spotlight with him are still around.
Zwicker is now commanding general of the XX (20) Corps of the Army Reserve at Fort Hayes in Columbus, Ohio. Last December, he suffered a heart attack and is convalescing.
"That case has all been forgotten," General Zwicker comments. "It is water over the dam. I'm not at all interested in discussing it or anything about it."
Lattimore Still Teaching
Lattimore is still teaching at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and shuns publicity.
Cohn, now in private law practice in New York, is an organizer of a group that has the inside track on staging the return heavyweight title bout between champion Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson.
"McCarthy contributed more than any other man toward awakening the United States to the peril of international Communism," Cohn says.
"In retrospect, McCarthy and

The United Press International reports Republicans in the Legislature were quick yesterday to seize the political advantage offered them by the error.
A Deliberate Delay
The Senate approved, 31-4, a resolution calling for a legislative council study to determine whether the state printing plant should continue to print enrolled bills. The House failed to corner the number of votes the Speaker Jess Taylor (R-Tribune) ruled was necessary to put the measure to immediate debate.
Docking said he didn't "even want to hear" what Wunsch had to say.
If Docking vetoes the measure, the Legislature can attempt to override him.
Senate President Pro Tem Paul R. Wunsch (R-Kingman) said that if Docking "doesn't sign or veto this bill, the people of Kansas will interpret this as a deliberate attempt to delay the bill — and they would have every right to do so. I have confidence the governor will do what is right and sign or veto the bill."
Resolution Condemns Plant
"It was my original intent to veto or sign this bill," Docking said. "But I am not going to take lessons in morality from Paul Wunsch."
Sen. F. O. Doty (D-Pittsburg) said no such resolution had been presented when previous printing errors had been made.
The resolution said the state printing plant "has already shown that it is not efficient in producing the completed printed enrolled bills and that it "might be advisable to either repeal...or amend" the law directing state printing of the bills and substitute printing at private plants or by typewriter.
Sen. Worden Howat (D-Wakeeney) said that "the main object of this resolution is strictly political. This session is the biggest political convention the people of Kansas have ever paid for."
Anderson to Go to N.J.
KU will be well represented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Assn., Monday through Wednesday of next week in Atlantic City, N. J.
