OPPOSITION
FAILS; WHY
IS QUESTION
Unanimous Action Comes
as Surprising Climax
in Controversy
BY JAMES HUTCHINSON


Unanimous U. S. Senate confirms
alton Of Governor Gruening for a
third term at Juneau had observers
asking the question today. What
happened to the opposition?
The Senate action came yesterday,
only a day after its Interior At
fairs had made a unanimous recon- !
mendation for confirmation.
1t came as surprising climax to
the confirmation controversy that
led the Senate committee to delay
action for nearly two months.
Alaskans who participated in the
eleventh hour campaign against
the confirmation had expected the
vote to be close on the committee,
and possibly in the Senate, al
though not many of them had much
hope of actually blocking the SEN
ate's approval.
But the unanimous action hit
them like bolt out OF the blue.
Butler Absent
The Republican Senator who had
been expected by the Gruening foes
to lead the opposition on the COM
mittee was Sen. Hugh Butler, tR-
Neb> But he was not present
when the committee voted. Neither
was Senator Gordon tR-Orel..
After conclusion OF the Senate
hearing, which drew groups OF pro
and anti-Gruening Alaskans to
washington, one 81 the anti oruen-
ng witnesses said in Seattle that
ne felt there was 4 good chance
of committee vote against the
governor He also predicted Senator
Cain tR-Wash) would take up TIE
fight against Governor Gruenilsy
IN the floor.
How Come?
The governors supporters, like
wise, figured they had built a
strong case for the confirmation
during the Senate committee hear
ng.
What factors led to the complete
erumbling of the Senate opposition
remained clouded today, pending
more details from Washington.
What does the unanimous con-
firmation mean to the governors
Alaska administration?
One thing for certain: He is more
strongly seated in the administra-
tive saddle than at shy time in
MS nine years as Alaska's CHIEF
executive.
Drive For Statehood
The new triumph follows the
legislative session that saw many of
ais long standing proposals enacted
into law. They were topped by
what he has long described as "a
basic tax program" embracing the
Territory's first income and general
property taxes and an extension OF
the general business licenses taxes.
His confirmation probably will
bring an intensification OF the drive
iof Alaskan statehood. DR.. Gruen-
ing's supporters contended at the
Washington hearing that the vocal
opposition was coming from the
opponents OF immediate statehood.
They linked the two issues.
Any rejection of the confirmation
certainly would have been inter-
preted as setback to the state
hood campaign. Likewise. the unani-
nous confirmation certainly will be
hailed by the proponents of state
hood as a boost for their cause.

intellectual Man Commits Suicide
IfHe Weds q Dull or Stupid Woman

DEAR MISS DIX: I have be-
come attached to a certain young
lady, who has good looks, won-
derful disposition, charm and fine
sincerity Of character. She is
frugal, interested in housekeeping.
loves children and would no doubt
make a good wife and mother.
But I am a college man, profess
sional man, interested in and fond
of discussing intellectual subjects.
This girl has little education,
makes many mistakes in writing
and is not the least interested in
anything intellectual. I have subj
scribed to magazines for her and
she claims to read them, but she
hasn't the faculty of understand
ing things intelligently and is de-
fclent in original ideas. Would
I make a mistake to marry a girl
of her type? Should I say: well,
she has IS per cent of all the
qualifications for making good
wife. Better take IS per cent
than to look unsuceSsfully for a

Answer: You have your ratio
wrong, Robert. A dumb woman
has only 10 per cent of the quail
ties that go to make a good wife
for an intellectual man and she
lacks the 80 per cent essential
