It's too bad that Senator Hugh
A. Buffers flying trip through
Latin America was made IN SUCH
hurry. and that his report was
so hastily and carelessly pre-
pared that il can be shot full OF
holes. For the senator from Ne
braska was on hot trail that
would have led TO many L. >.
government expenditures that
might not bear close scrutiny.
Exaggerating them by big fig
ures and duplicated items, lump
ing authorizations and credits
and unexpended balances in
with actual expenditures was
not necessary and did no good.
Furthermore, Senator Butler
hurt his own cause by submitting
his report direct to the Senate
instead of through the commit
tees on appropriations or nom
essential federal expenditures.
This reused the ire Of Senator
Kenneth Mcclellan Of Tennessee,
ranking member Of both COM
mitteeS. and gave the Nebraskan
a powerful opponent TO defeat
his purpose.
Senator Butler spent 50-odd
DAYS on his 20,000-mile trip TO
20 countries. That gave him
two and a half days per country,
and his average travel had to be
400 miles day. 10 boot. In
some places he spent only a few
hours. The senator frankly ad-
mits he did not come back an
expert on South America, but a
little more careful digging would
have shown what was really
wrong and what was construc-
lively right and necessary.

To Wilson
Revue
BY CHARLES GENTRY

WE HAD the crazleSt dream
last night
We went back 10 the Wilson 20
re-review that "Merry-Go-ROund-
erS' variety revue and found II
more dcliriouS and delightful than
ever. Then, after il was over, we
woke up TO find that il was really
true
The reason for returning, out
side of the fact, that we were low
on laughs and needed some fresh
kicks, was 10 observe the changes
which have been made since Pro-
duccr Henry Duffy opened II here
four weeks ago.
First of all there's a new pass
enger riding high on this revue,
named Susan Miller. whom you
may have seen on the screen or
heard on Broadway.
Even if YOU have co and catch
this appealing apparition before
she VaniSheS like a vision. For
that's Just what she is, and she
can sing, too.
OF TWO VOICES
A curious thing about Susan is
that she seems TO have two voices.
When she's giving out with a
rhythm routine like whats Cook
in " she has short of metallic
blatant quality on the order of
Ethel Norman, although its not
as big voice
Then she turns around and
makes you misty eyed over a
ballad like I've Heard That Song
Before in a very restrained voice
of an entirely different quality
She altcrnates her manner of sell
ing it TO you. if you have 10 be
sold. be being saucy then soft;
provocative then persuasive. The
girl has a lot 10 offer and gives
the show a decided lift

Alaska Statehood Explained By Lyng

recently at Salt Lake City, Utah, where Republican delegates from Il western states assembled in convention, one of the resolutions formulated urged the immediate granting of statehood for Alaska. Other representative groups up and down the Pacific Coast are actively pressing for statehood for Alaska, and their represen- tatives in the national Congress have evidenced sympathetic and cooperative concern in the matter.
 It would seem then, that the time has come for the residents of the Territory to give to this question of statehood the serious thought that it deserves, for no matter how many enthusiastic and well meaning advocates in the states espouse the cause of statehood for Alaska, in the final
