US. GUNS ES[00T FlYIN6 ARROW 10
 TSlNGTk0 SAFETY
By Wayne Richardson

ABOARD FLYING ARROW EN- ROUTE to Tsingtao, Jan li--iR- Escorted by the U. s. destroyer Baussen, this shot riddled Ameri- can frsighter headed tonight for the mine free Chinese Communist port of Tsingtao on Shantung Pen insula.
 Apparently the destroyer was going all the way to Chinese territ- orlal waters with the Flying Arrow for five hours after the anchor was hoisted she steamed alongside the freishter on a $50 mile cruise to the former base of the United States Far Eastern Fleet.
 The Flying Arrow. blasted by many Nationalist gunboat shells had to get underway from her anchorage off Shanghai. Captain David Jcnes feared her No 5 hold would explode.
 Water used to oXtinguish fire in the hold caused expansion ot the cargo of jute, taled cotton and caustic soda. Tier master said the danger of an explosion was so pres sing he considered it dangerous to wait and try to get into Chinese Nationalist blockaded and mined Red Shanghai.
 The ships owners, the Isbrandt- sen Line Of New York, also ordered the vessel to Tingtao.
 The Flying Arrow was hit by some 10 Nationalist gunboat shells Monday on the high seas off Shanghai, her destination from IIong Kong. She is carrying a cargo valued at $l0,000,00o for the Communists.

The Navy said today the des- troycr Baussell is escorting the Flying Arrow to Tsingtao in order to provide protection" for the shell-riddled merchant ship.
 There was no elaboration, but presumably this means that the destroyer will intervene if the Chinese Nationalist warships again attempt to attack the Flying Ar row in international waters.

The Nurses Home

After witnessing a very good
minstrel, we toured the nurses
home. We visited some Of the bed
rooms, which were beautifully furn-
ished. Each girl has her own pri-
vate room where she spends her
leisure hours. Next We visited the
library which contained books on
nursing and there was also a large
selection of books of fiction, poems,
ETC., for the nurses enjoyment.
Upon leaving the library We visited
two classrooms; in the first we saw
"Jimmey" the skeleton, who has
every bone in his body labeled so
the nurses might learn the names
of his bones. In the other classroom
students learn how to make hos
pital bed, and it was in this room
we met Mrs. Chase" the dummy
they use in their practice. We also
visited the "play ROOM, a we'll
equipped room with table tennis
and other games. We were i'm
pressed by the small modern kitch-
ems; adjoining the kitchens was
living room which was very beau
tifully furnished.

rty-eight people recently spent the greater part of week in Washington, D. C., talking to a handful of United States Senators. Some of them talked a few min utes and some talked for several hours, but the talk was mainly all on one ubject-statehood for AL aska.
 Forty-four of those people spoke in favor of statehood This group outnumbered what has been called the "anti-statehood' group by el- even to one That is a big per- centage increase over the pro- statehood vote of four years ago. It may show that a large number of Alaskans have changed their minds about statehood On the other hand, it may only show what cheap transportation can do.
 Neglect Is Stressed
 The people who were all out for statehood told about the long neg lect of Alaska by the Federal gov ernment. They told about Alaska's many resources and the great de- velopment and growth they expect when Alaska becomes state. They talked about statehood as an aid to national defense; about the right of Alaska to have state hood; about the burning desire of Alaskans for statehood, and about the blessings that will come with statehood.
 Sometimes, when the Senators could pin them down to it, they talked about the specific provisions of the statehood bill the Senators were working on. Most of them didn't show much interest in that kind of talk. Except when the Senators called on them to get down to cases, they stuck to the broader generalities where they were less likely to run head-on into an embarrassing question. The "anti" people, on the other hand, talked mainly about the bill itself, H. R. 331. They did not offer any opposition to statehood for Alaska, but they did find a lot of things in the enabling bill that they said were faulty. And the Senators found many more faults | in it.
 Written Statements In addition to the people who made personal appearances in Washington, a number of people sent letters, telegrams or other written statements on statehood. The record shows that 136 people offered some kind of testimony some of them as individuals and some as representatives of organ 1 nations. Of this total, 93 were for statehood; 38 were against the particular statehood bill under con-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-07

sideration. Not one of the 136 argued against the general ques- tion of statehood for Alaska.
 To carry the box score along a little further. Of the 98 people in the pro-statehood camp, 27 were not residents of Alaska and II were government officials. Twenty-six of them said definitely that they were in favor of H. R. 3S1; the others merely favored the general proposition of statehood for Alaska or wanted statehood with some changes in the enabling bill.
 Over on the other side, four of the 38 who expressed themselves as opposed to H. R. 331 were non residents. None of them were -n government service although some of them had been in the past.
 The entire weeks talk about statehood for Alaska, as it ap- pears in the official record, div- ides itself into few broad class ifications. They are:
 l. The right, need and desire for statehood and the benefits it will bring Alaska.
 9 The bearing of Alaska state hood on national defense.
 3. The iand grants provided by H. R. 331.
 4. The provisions for the fish cries and other Alaskan resources under H. R. 331
 g.. Indian reservations and other special reservations in Alaska.
 6. The cost of statehood.

The Senate Committee

The Senators who listened to t,e testimony on statehood for Alaska are members of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs.
 Senator Joseph O'Mahoney of Wyoming, the chairman of the committee, was not able to take in most of the hearing because of illness. In his absence, the hear ing was conducted by Senator Clin- ton P. Anderson of New Mexico.
 Senator Anderson asked most of the questions, and some of his questions were very sharp. He was assisted a good deal in the qL,s- tioning by Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska. Other Senators Who took some part in the hearing included Glen H. Taylor of Idaho, Herbert H. Lehman of New York Guy Gordon of Oregon, Zales N. Ecton of Montana and Ernest w. Mcfarland of Arizona.
 The testimony, oral and written, presented to these Senators totals something more than a quarter of

COME car makers say springs O make the ride-and so we give every Buick four of the soft, gentle coil springs practically all cars use on front wheels only. Some say the drive IS important how power is transmitted to the rear wheels.
 We agree-and use torque-tube drive, that takes up all the thrust, freeing rear springs of driving pulsation.
 Dome stress tires-so you'll find low pressure castings on every Buick, mounted on our own kind of Safety-Ride rims. Some play up shock absorbers we make ours fast, soft and sure in action, to wash out all "after bounce"
