STATEHOOD
 FOR HAWAII
 IS DISPUTED
By HOWARD DOBSON

oY I1oW faIO11 l1Sl1ON<4N
 WASHINGTON, Dec. Icon gressmen at opposite ends of the Capitol, and of opposite political faiths, disagreed sharply today on the prospects of Statehood for Ha- waii
 Rep Miller D-Calif) disputed a prediction by Sen Butler (R-Neb) that mo offshore area will ever get Statehood" Miller asserted the House, at least, would approve Statehood for Hawaii right now.
 T never will vote for Statehood for any offshore area" Butler had told a reporter, "at least not until the people of this country have been thoroughly educated to the responsibilities that would involve. I am expressing the opinion of every other member of Congress I ever have talked to on the subject"
 Miller replied in an interview:
 If We take seriously what the Constitution says about all men being created equal, and do take 1t seriously, do not see how We can deny Statehood to Hawaii They want it. They are ready for it."
 Buffers comment was made in connection with a visit last week by a delegation of Puerto Ricans attending the Republican National Committee meeting in Washington They said Puerto Rico would pre- fer Statehood to independence, But Ter reported.

MARINE CORPS PLANE MISSING WITH 32
Alaska Natives May Get Kuqe Land Reservations
 Under New Dept. Policy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Interior Department decided today at two groups of Alaskan h. dians and Eskimos may be entitled to considerably more land than they have been assigned.
 It set aside a land order issued last August by the Department. which allotted 750 square miles of land and 50 square miles of water for the 500 Eskimos as Barrow, and 12,800 acres for the 200 Indians at Klukwan.
 On the basis of hearings held in Alaska last October. Irwin w. Sil- verman, chief counsel of Interiors Division of Territories, recommend ed against establishment of the two reservations, and Secretary of h. terior J. A. Krug approved his re- port today.
 Silverman said the natives of Klukwan were interested not in a reservation but in government recognition of their claims to ap- proximately TOO square miles of hunting, fishing. trapping and Lerrygathering ground.
 Silverman recommended that the Department conduct hearings to determine the extent of native rights, and give the Indians chance to retain the lands or to sell the portions ss they wish.
 At Barrow, the natives said they hunted, dropped and f.shed over 30,000 square mile area, and within the limits of the proposed reservation could use little more than the shore line.
 Silverman said none of the Bar row natives favored the proposed reseEvst&on, but they do want pro- lection from liquor traffic and 4ncroachment by outside commer- cial interests.
 The report proposed that the Alaska Game Commission consider the establishment of a 30000 square mile game reserve in the Barrow sector to protect the native hunt ing and trapping rights.

Tiny Plane, win Speed
 0f1,700 Miles Per Hour,
 Given Test, High Altitude

LOS ANGELES, Dec. l1-A tiny plane with which the Army Ar Forces and Bell Aircraft Corp, it's maker, expect to delve into the un- charted realm of supersonic speed, has successfully completed its first tests.
 The XS-1, with 23-year- old Pilot Chalmers (Slick) Goodlin, New AL exandria, Pa, at the controls, was cut loose from the belly of B-29 bomber over Muroc Army Air Base Monday. Seconds after Americas first propelled plane dropped away from the big bomber, Goodlin turned on the power, and the craft darted away with a momentum which the former Navy pilot com pared to the thrust from a cata- putt aboard carrier.
 The plane is designed to fly at 1,700 miles an hour, but Goodlin made no attempt to step it up that high He loafed along at a ncere $50, using first one cylinder, then two, and finally-tor only a few seconds-s.l four
 Ine plane Wss cut loose at 25,- coo feet. Goodlin climbed under his own power to 35,000, meantime div ing, banking and climbing. He flew for 19 minutes, not quite sev- en under power, and made a per- feet landing with lis iuei.ess en- zine idle.
 The planes power is measured in terms of thrust, rather than horsepower. But R. M. Stanley, Eric, Okla, Bells chief engineer and designer of the plane, said by the only available means of com- parison, the engine could be said to develop 3O,0O0 horsepower It burns ethyl alcohol, oxidized by liquid oxygen.
 The engine is unbelievably small to generate such tremendous thrust. Without fuel it weighs only 210 pounds, and it's overall length is 56 inches. The plane itself is smaller than the average fighter, measuring 31, feet from tail to tip, with a wing span of only 28 feet.
 Army authorities emphasized at a press conference that the plane, of almost conventional design, was not designed as fighter, bomber or any other special type of craft. It's mission is purely and specifical- ly to permit investigation of the supersonic speed ranges.

UN IS GIVEN GIFTF0R NEW
 HOME IN N. Y.
Rockefeller Jr., Gives SS.- 500,0OO for Perma-
 nenf Headquarters

LAKE SUCCESS, N. r., Dec. II John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. today offered the United Nations a gift of $8,500,G00 with which to purchase a large tract of land in midtown Manhattan for permanent site.
 Rockefeller said he had already received assurances tl2e City of New York was prepared to give to the U. N. the balance of a city block on which his gift purchase included two small plots.
 He added. that he predicted his gift for the land purchase on as- surances New York City would per- nit the U. N. to use the entire area without restriction and would also turn over to U. N use all bulkheads and piers on the East River frontage between And and 18th Streets.
 The gift, he added, must be de- clared to be free of all federal and state taxes.
 Action must be taken within 30 days from Dec. 10.
 In a letter asking that the com- munication he transmitted to the site committee, Rockefeller stated that he had "ventured to locate territory on the East River in the midtown area" both because he be- lieved the people of New York City wanted the U. N. among them and because New York City af- forded the best spot for the U. N. to locate permanently.

The w ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Most important proposal for long-term settlement of any future coal crisis has come from elder statesman James M. Cox, former Governor of Ohio and candidate for President against Warren Harding in 1920.
 Cox urges an impartial body similar to the Tennessee Valley Authority to regulate the coal in- dustry. Pointing out that the min- CTS got the little end of the stick for many years, as the public re- gently got it, he proposes that it is now time to make sure that all sides get a square deal; and that the way to do it is by regu- lation of the coal industry.
 The more you study the coal cha os, the more plausible Cox's pro- posal appears to be. In the Penn sylvania anthracite regions, for ih- stance, mine operators have dug under towns to such extent that cave-ins have swallowed streets and houses.
 Another problem is the removal of wooden mine props and coal mine pillars. The removal of wooden props causes cave-ins after a mine is abandoned; the reten- ticn of coal pillars leave valuable coal underground never to be util- ized by man. Once mine is aban- doned, io is difficult, sometimes impossible, ever to bring to the surface the coal left therein.
 Another problem is conflicting

MISSING ON FLIGHT

SEATTLE, Dec. II = The Navy alerted Forest Rangers State Patrol and all of Western Washington today in search of Marine Corps transport plane missing with 32 men since 4:13 pm. yesterday.
 The search WIS handicapped by thick weather and the dark color of the plane which made visibility from the air doubly difficult The twin-engined R5C Curtis Commander was one of six which left San Diego, Calf, at l0:36 am, yesterday on a nonstop flight to transfer a Marine Corps contingent to Seattle. They encountered bad weather in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Four landed at Port land One made it safely to Sand Point Naval Air Station.
 The missing plane last was con- tacted when the pilot wirelessed the Toledo range station, a few miles south of Chehalls, and was cleared to next communicate with the powerful Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration station at Everett, said Comdr. P. D. Duke, Sar.i Point Operations Officer.
 The Toledo range statio~. repors- ed it cleared the plane tc fly high CT, due to icing conditions it was encountering at 5000 feet.
 Thereafter it was silent despite frantic efforts of Navy, Army and CAA radio stations, Commander Duke added.
 The plane was expected here at :06 pm When it finally became apparent the ship could be listed as missing" rather than merely
 overdue, the Navy appealed to newspapers, news services and ra- dio stations to ask clues from the public.
 Duke said the plane had fuel suf- ficient to keep her in the air some Az hours beyond her scheduled ar ival time
 The Navy Public Relations Of- flee at San Diego said the missing transport carried a crew of three and 28 privates and a sergeans military policeman as passengers. The men had seabags and full back packs. Their names were not divulged.

 DROPPED
Compromise Reached on
 Worldwide Troop Count al LIN Meet

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. Il. A powerful United Nations com- mittee was reported authoritatively today to have dropped a contro- versial British proposal for a world wide troops and armaments count in sudden compromise move to break jam holding up a general disarmament resolution.
 This settlement of the major diff ficulty confronting the United Ma tions assembly after last nights plenary session was understood to be conditional upon its acceptance by the United States, Great Brit ain and Soviet Russia.
 However, the representatives of those nations attending the meet ing of an 8-nation drafting com- mittee on disarmament accepted the proposal, said to have been urged by President Paul-Henri Spaak, of the Assembly, They agreed to report to their chiefs and then inform the Donation disarm- ament sub committee at D. m. to- day the result of their resolution.
 Before the meeting the United States faced the dangerous pos sibility of being forced to disclose her vital atomic secrets to, the rest of the world immediately.
 If the three great powers agree on the compromise plan, it was said, the whole resolution can be completed in ten minutes this af- ternoon and the assembly can act.

moves only a short distance through
