Composition To
 Alaska Statehood Will Defeat Hawaii

HONOLULU, (R - Statehood for Hawaii faces possible defeat because of opposition to Alaskan statehood, Hawaii's Delegate to Congress said Saturday.
 Delegate Joseph R. Harrington told news conference that an in formal survey showed a majority of the Senate plans to vote for Hawaii's admission to statehood but less than majority has pledged their votes for Alaska's admission.
 eff the Alaska bill is defeated then there is more than an even chance that the Hawaii bill will lose too," Harrington said.
 Both bills have passed the House and are before the Senate. The Alaska bill is due to be taken up first. Both bills have been linked together.
 Harrington charged that the principal opposition to both bills is base on racial prejudice and that it is mostly in the form of cloakroom gossip. ....

Truman Moves To Speed War Effort

WASHINGTON (P)-With Con- gress concentrating on U. s. strength, Senator Connally O. Tex0 predicted a delay in any Presidential request for more funds to arm the anti-communist nations.
 Connally told reporters he does not expect any immediate appeal from the Presiednt for funds be- yond the $1,222,5O0,0O0 Congress has authorized for foreign military assistance.
 They'll have the billion to start on and that should take care of the problem for while" the Texas Senator said.
 President Truman has indicated he will seek more funds -possi- bly, up to five billions to equip friendly countries with the mod ern arms they would need to counter communist military thrust that might be made else where while the fighting is going on in Korea.
 The Senate acted quickly last week to approve bill giving the President power to extend for one year the enlistment period of men now in the armed forces. It would apply also to the national guard, some of whose smaller units were called into federal service Friday.
 In other moves to speed the war effort, MT. Truman ordered IA major federal agencies to curb construction, tighten credit and hold down their buying of items made of critical materials. He called for tight screening of all public works deemed non-essen- tial to defense.
 The government ordered 12 troop ships taken out of the Pa cific coast stmothball" fleet and turned over to the military serv- ices. The ships can carry at least 35,000 men, two full army divi- sions.

Korean Situation At A Glance -.
Saturday. July 22. 1850 (By The Associated PreSs)

(By The Associated Press)
 American forces pushed on after busting North Koreans from stra- tegic towns on the east coast and in the central front today but fell back further in the Taejon sector to avoid a communist encirc1e- ment.
 A navy communique announced the recapture of Yongdok on the east coast and an Eighth army headquarters spokesman said the advancing American troops, after entering the badly shelled town pushed a short distance north ward to favorable terrain.
 Capture of Yongdok anchors the north corner of the southeast area of Korea American troops are lightly fiercely to hold while masses of men and equipment are being assembled. Its capture was hailed as a major Allied victory.
 After 16 hours of artillery att tack and house to house fighting, Negro troops of the 25th Infantry division routed the northern in- vaders from Yechon Friday. This victory blunted the north ern end of vast communist pin car movement that threatened to pocket units that withdrew from Taejon and are now holding line in the hills a few miles south of the smouldering rail and road communications center.
 Communist regiments moved southward on the other end of their pincer movement to reach down into Chongup and Imsil, SO adn 60 miles southwest of Taejon.
 General MacArthur's commun- ique said both che Americans and South Koreans on their right flank withdrew to stronger de- fense lines in the foothills Friday but the communists maintained heavy pressure on the Taejon hinge of their encirclement att tempt.
 Associated Press correspondent Jeff Erickson said communist forces did not attack immediately but appeared to be regrouping for a major thrust. He said it was felt at Eighth Army headquarters that the solidly reinforced U. S. forces could now hold the newly strengthened lines.
 In Tokyo the American Far East air force reported heavy B-29 raids on Wonsan, North Korea's major deep water port on the east coast had reduced but not halted the trans-shipment of war mate rial vital to Red Forces. Analyz- ing results of the first massed su- perfort attack by 50 bombers, the air force said 400 tons of bombs struck more than 50 per cent of the warehouse and dock area. Nineteen warehouses were de- stroyed, the communique said.
 There was still no word as to the whereabouts of Maj. Gen. Wh. F. Dean, commander of the 24th Division, unreported for two days on the Taejon front. He was last seen in the thick of battle feeding ammunition to a super-bazooka squad. The army finally listed him officially as missing in action.

IMPORTANT WEEKS

IMPORTANT WEEKS
WEARE IN THE midst of one of the fullest weeks in
the calendar year. On the continent people everywhere cele-
brated the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and devoted an entire
week to honoring and perpetuating the ideals for which he
stood. Then this is National Brotherhood Week, and also Ma
tonal History Week. And all of this comes on the exit of Ma
tional Boy Scout Week.
IN THE. FACE OF atomic threats, made more APPALLING
by the threats of the hydrogen bomb, it is comforting to real
ize that people set aside their fears long enough to concen-
trate upon brotherhood, and think in terms of the sanctity and
dignity Of the individual, for only in this way can men save
themselves from slavery to sheer power and might. There can
be no question but that over emphasis upon power might well
result in self-desruction. Brotherhood Week, therefore car
ries significance which should stand out in bold relief against
the background Of a troubled world.
COMING ALSO with Brotherhood Week is National
Negro History Week, a period during which all men turn their
attention to the accomplishment, and the place of the Negro
in American life. Leaders and people who stop long enough
to give serious thought to progress, have acknowledged the
change which has come upon us with almost startling sudden
ness. No longer can America and the world be divided into
camps OF differing ~idealogies based upon race, creed or color
In this day and time what counts is humanity, and if demo-
cracy IS to work successfully, and progress to be made, then
the words Of the Bible, that allmen were created to live peace
ably upon the face of the earth, must come true.
YET, UNTIL THIS utopian dream comes true, we can
help bring it to fruition as we know more about what has been
done as a basis for future accomplishment. Because the world
still insists upon drawing lines, there is yet no way Of speak
ing in general terms Of mankind, SO we still turn to. history.
Realizing that men Of color have held their own and made
tremendous contributions to the fields Of science. music, liter
ature, and the arts we turn to demand and acknowledge that
these accomplishments have been made not Of color, but in
spite Of it, and that what was done fitted into the pattern Of
improved human life. The day is coming however, when ac-
complshmens will not be known by the color Of the men who
made them.
