bring to the Territory would be those met by the federal government-the cost of judiciary, police system of the insane and the conservation of fish, fur and game.
 The Territory is expecting influx of peoplC who wish settle in Alaska, and the proponents say that it would be easier for State to control the incom ing residents than for the Territory to do it. They point out that the Territory has 85O00 residents and that before the it's exports amounted to 900 nually.
 The proponents charge that the proposed Statehood is being fought by absentee interests which they have fought every extension of self government to Alaska"
 They assert that such interests center in Washington State and Seattle.
 Secretary Krug during his recent trip to Alaska asked at each of many meetings if those in his audience favor ed Statehood In ech instance there affirmative replies and opposition until finally Texan said he against statehood for the Territory.
 Texas would oppose Statehood for Alaska, he said because it would give the Union a State bigger than Texas Make it two three States and will favor it.
 The proponents assert that Statehood will immedi- aely attract settlers to the State that will give it opportunity to develop it's agriculture and pro- duce incentive for the population to develop it's great natural resources.
 In Congress does approve Statehood for Alaska anC Hawaii they will be the first States since 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona became States.

been dDdnQOIleu were uldue Oy members of the Senate War In- vestigating Committee this week in concluding hearings on the oil project.
 Files previously marked secret were opened for the hearings. One fact revealed that in October, l943, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, composed of Admiral Ernest King, Admiral William D. Leahy, Gen. eral George C. Marshall and Gen. eral H. H. Arnold, ruled for com pletion of the project at the qost of an additional 30 million dolla2, when in September, one month before, it had been decided by the same men ito withdraw all pos sible forces from Alaska and con- centrate them elsewhere"
 Admiral King, until December, l945, member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was the only witness in the recent hearings before the Senate committee. His appearance was made principally to ask re- traction by the committee of crit icism directed at him as mem-~ Der of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ln' a report printed by the committee early in September. The Admiral particularly took exception to what he termed an inference that he knowingly went against the views of the then-NaVy Secretary Frank Knox, in joining with other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in agreeing to completion og hte Canol project. Admiral King testified he never knew Secretary Knox had, in company with Don aid M Nelson, then head of the War Production Board, and liar old l.. IckeS, then Petroleum Ad- ministrator for War, condemned completion of Canol
 In cross examination, the Ad- miral denied ever seeing a report filed in February, l943, by the UN s. naval attaChe at Ottawa stress ing that leading geologists regard ed Canol as completely unjusti- fled" and doomed to fail"
 The concluding hearings fol- lowed a committee report filed in which embraced the opinion of committee members that Canol was "glaring exam pie" of enormous waste of man. power and critically short materi- als" and was waste of type that if accomplished by sabotedr would have resulted in execu- tion."
 The September report contin- ued, in part, as follows:
 ultimately more than Si33,-  000,000 were spent; thousands of tons of materials and large num- bers of items of construction equipment, most of which were needed elsewhere, were used; and the work of a consider able labor force over a period of two years was utilized.
 Procurement of additional funds for the Canol project was by the War Department by incorporating such funds as part of general item in an ap- act for military ex- penditures. Even the clerk of the Senate AppropriatiOnS CorpOit

Alaska Statehood Election Caps 3O-Year Debate Tuesday

IapS 0U- ear DcDate tuesday
 (By C. D. WATKINS)
 Alaska purchased from Russia in 1867 and made a Territory in 1912, will vote Tuesday whether it wants to enter the Union the 18th 50th state.
 The voters will the question: Are you in fa- of Statehood for Alaska "
 The question has been on Alaskan tongues for thirty years During those years the proposal has gradually been gaining adhcrents from the ranks of those who be- lieved statehood would prove too costly for the Terri tory.
 Alaska is now operated by the Federal Government with Legislature to local laws and meet local problems but always subject to the approval of Con- gress. It is represented in Congress by nonvotng Delegate.
 territories subcommittee of the House visited Ha- waii and Alaska last summer and recommended ap- proval of Statehood for Hawaii but withheld approval of similar step for Alaska
 But the full committee did not act the report and when the Congress opens bills will be introduced to provide Statehood for Alaska if the approve it. Hawaii voted overwhelmingly in 1940 in favor of Statehood and bills will be introduced to give State hood regardless of how Alaska votes.
 Even in such bills enacted by Congress- it is a slow process to get states admitted It would take probably three years for each Territory to adopt pro- posed state constitution It would then have be ap proved by the voters
 Aaskans in favor of Statehood have carried on an tensve campaign and have received the support of Sec retary Krug of the Interior Department.
 President Truman last year urged Statehood for Ha- wali and said he would be glad to welcome Alaska into the Union.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska and former Delegate Wickersham and Dimond waged unceasing fight for Statehood.
 All it would take in my opinion to convert the most uncompromsng foe of Statehood into an enthusiastic supporter would be for him to come to Washington and take over the Delegates job for week. Bartlett said
 Tt is nconcevabe to me that any area and particu- larly one which is than twice the size of Texas and which is possessed of wealth of resources should remain permanently under the Stars and Stripes in condition of political servitude."
 Proponents of Statehood for Alaska say the addition al cost of Statehood for the Territory would amount only between $1 100000 and $2OOOOOO annually They declare that State Alaska would get at least $1O 900 in roads funds under the federal highway aid law, have much public land turned over to the new State, have control of it's fisheries which furnish millions of dollars worth of canned fish each year, it's
 mining some of its forests and sole its transporta hon problems.
 In addition Alaska State would share in all fed- era fad progrems enjoyed by the States but denied in full to the territories

Department of Utter Amusement:
| was astounded last week, in chat
ting with a local politician, to have
him tell me that he constantly hears
bitter complaints from customers in
his store, over the fact that the send
ing of food overseas to starving mil
lions, is responsible for the shortages
that they are experiencing. "There
is" he said, "a very steady resent
ment building up" l do not question
for a split second that this gentle
man runs into his share of chronic
grumblers and complainers, as well
as the greedy, who cause more
shortages than any underfed peoples
of the world We all know that type.
But / find it impossible to believe
that any sort of representative ma
jority of Hagerstown people could
be so classified. In observing this
community through the war years
have been impressed as who hasn't
over the warm and immediate re-
spouse of its citizens to any and all
deserving causes. If any drive has
ever been conducted here that was
not oversubscribed | haven't heard
about it. This fact seems to me to be
representative of the majority of
Hagerstonians, rather than the NUT
terings of few people whose COM
prehension of their own good fortune
in being citizens of this land of great
plenty must be as dulled as their
sense of humanity.

The lady | encountered downtown
today with two cute little boys in
tow They were not only dressed
identically, but each had clutched
firmly in his plump paw of all
things, a hammer. They were not,
as l had imagined, twins, but uncle
and nephew-one two years old, the
other three. Uncle was appropriately
enough, the senior member After a
short conversation l ambled on, re-
fecting that it takes a high degree of
either courage or trust in your own
disciplinary methods, to convoy two
little boys complete with hammers
among acres of plate glass. l wouldn't
trust myself with an opportunity
like that.

Leonore Hohl of the University of
California, who has been expert
menting in different varieties of
peaches for freezing. Before the
war there was great demand for
clings for canning but they were
considered unfit for freezing, she
says. Recently there has been an
increase in the demand for canned
freestones in preference to clings,
DR.. Hohl points out. This, together
with the shortage of tin for canning
during the war years, has led to the
freezing of clings. Experiments at
the university show that most free
stones tend to become mushy when
frozen, and the white kinds darken
markedly.

honor, was gowned in pale green
eyelet embroidery, fashioned in the
same medieval pattern, with a low
neck. She wore a close-fitting cap

Use Sets Room Pattern

Cater to the needs of the family
in furnishing a room, and you will
accomplish more than any conven-
tional plan of decoration will as
sure, says Miss Florence Mason,
home furnishing specialist of the
Extension Service of the Univer-
sity of Maryland. For children,
plan for study center in the home,
to encourage them in thinking of
schooling as a definite part of their
family life School and behavior
problems are often eased when par
ents show this respect for the needs
of the child.
Give each child a comfortable
chair. roomy table space, a good
light, waste basket, and convenient
storage space not only for study
equipment, but also for hobbies. Ar
range it so that the child can work
without disturbance. If more than
one study center is needed a row
of tables along a. wall of books, or
corner arrangement may work
well. Shelves, maps, bulletin board,
desk boxes, and pictures are all
good accessories If the child can
help in picking and arranging these
items, he learns design and color
harmony and also will probably
keep the place in better order
This item should prove interest
ing to those of you who are planning
to conserve your peaches with the
frozen method.
Frozen ClingS
Cling peaches keep well when
frozen; their tough texture prevents
them from becoming mushy and al

serve their bright color, says DR.
