Democrats. The junior senator
said he will seek reelection to
the Senate.
Some Republicans are leaving the door open for Morton
to change his mind. Just after
the senator's announcement,
Glasgow attorney Louie Nunn
said he will withhold disclosure
of his plans until other GOP
leaders can try to persuade Morton to make the race.
Sen. Morton's announcement
held the political spotlight today,
but the Democrats were not idle.
State Attorney General Robert
Matthews disclosed he will be a
candidate for lieutenant governor
in the May primary, and as yet
is not a part of any slate.
Matthews said he will "run on
his record," stressing the need
to improve the quality of education in Kentucky.
And former Attorney General
John Breckinridge was expected
to announce this afternoon that
he has not changed his mind
about running for governor.
Breckinridge, a Lexington lawyer, said last month he would
run regardless of any new developments. He is pinning his
hopes on dissatisfaction he says
the people have for Frankfort
bossism and factionalism.
Morton said he had given his
decision a lot of serious consideration and was most grateful
for telegrams from supporters urging him to run. He said, however, he is physically unable to
seek the nomination and then the
governorship, noting he had made
some 150 speeches on behalf of

Congressional candidates in the
recent campaign.
He had been seen as the man
to prevent a bitter struggle between Nunn and Jefferson County
Judge Marlowe Cooke for the
Republican nomination, up for
grabs in next May's primary.

Cook has scheduled a formal press
conference Wednesday night. He
has already said informally he
plans to run.
Asked if he would support a
Nunn-Coo- k
combination, Morton
said yes, but qualified his answer
by saying he would support any

candidates the party supported.
Morton plans to stay in Kentucky a few days to give other
GOP leaders who are members
of a "draft Morton" committee
their say, but the senator said
his decision is final.
Attorney General Matthews
told the Kernel he is "vitally
interested" in education, perhaps
to the extent of revising the state's
Minimum Foundation Program
to make it more simple while
protecting the interests of the
teaching profession. . . "we need
improvement leading to quality,"
he said.
Asked about possible running
mates or supporters, Matthews
said "I have many friends in
the Breathitt-Comb- s
faction, but
as far as I'm concerned, I can't
speak for them." He said his
record during his 10 years in the
attorney general's office, three of
them as attorney general, and
experience

as commissioner

finance give him the necessary
background for the governorship.
It was expected that Matthews might seek the nomination
for governor as both he and Ward
had been wooing the Breathitt
Administration for its blessing.
Breckinridge waited until now
to make his announcement, believing the governors contest
should be spearated from the

First Indonesian Students Here Since '65 Ban
By HOWARD KERCHEVAL

Assistant Managing Editor
The University and two Indonesian
schools have renewed contracts bringing
the first group of Indonesian students to
the U.S. in almost two years.
The two Indonesian schools involved
in the UK exchange program are the
Institute of Technology in Bandung and
the Agriculture Institute in Bogor.
Nicholas Rice of the Department of
Developmental Change said the program
between UK and the two schools had
been going on for about ten years when
in 1964 then Foreign Minister Subandrio

"placed a ban on any students going
to study in the West."
The group now on campus is the
first here since the
Indonesian
Communist Party under the aegis of Dr.
Subandrio was crushed in the governmental shake up of 1965.
There were some Indonesians at UK
before the ban. These were joined by the
24 students who arrived last week. Six
more are expected.
All the students from Indonesia involved in the exchange are graduate students. Most of them left faculty positions
at their schools and will return to those
position after completion of their studies.

Upon arrival at UK the students underan extensive program in English
language and general orientation.
Dr. John Wier of the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan conducts this program. Dr. Wier
said they make the mistakes any student
would make in a strange country and,
"if we can waste it (mistakes) on us,
then we've saved them some trouble."

change, "it is not happening just here,
but is a renewal of educational cooperation" between Indonesia and the West.

After completion of the
orientation program some of the students will
leave UK and go on to other schools in
the U.S. Rice said usually about half
remain here.
The newly arrived students have been

Rice said.

During the ban many students who
wished to come to the U.S. and other
western nations were told they could go
to alternate countries such as Yugoslavia,
China, and Japan. Several of the group
now at UK refused such alternates.
