TO REMOVE GREASE SPOTS?
TO WHITEN PILLOW CASES?
From Z. B. S., WashingtonJ
Could any of your readers sug-
gest any way to remove large
grease spots from wallpaper? Our
2 21a-year-old daughter went on a
spree the other day and spread
the contents of full jar of baby
cream over bureau, radiator, door,
bed, bedspread and wallpaper.
She was helping Mommy with
the cleaning" I have tried hot
iron over blotters and paper
toweling with no luck. I doubt
that the paper is washable as I
was unsuccessful in removing
fingerprints around a light switch.
Also, I have watched for
answers to a question sent in
several months ago on how to
whiten pillowslips which have be-
come yellowed. Did I miss them
(the answers. I should appre-
ciate help on both these problems.

HITCHCOCK BOOK?

(FTonl d. T., ChurChtOTl.J
Do any Of you know where I
could get Alfred Hitchcock's first
collection of suspense stories? This

ago by the Dell Publishing Co.,
and is not the new one, No. 367,
they've recently published. though

COLLARS AND CUFFS?

from Mrs. G. w.. WastingtonJ
The collars and cuffs OF my
husbands shirts are a problem.
Before real laundering I usually
scrub them first with soap and q
soft brush, then place them in
bleach. However, there still re-
mains a dark ridge that I cannot
remove. Does any one know what
the laundries use? will be CRATE

We think that Mr. Bartlett has lost sight OLA
few things however One of them is the fact that
he was sent to Washington to represent all the people
of Alaska not just the group with which he has so
patiently aligned himself. Another is the fact that
statehoods greatest support from outside the
Territory Witness the impressive roster of members
of the National Statehood Committee-amost hun
dred names and not an Alaskan in the lot.
We've been subjected to lot of criticism for our
stand against Alaskan statehood. We've been called
the tool of the vested interests the mouthpiece of
the canned salmon industry the axis press.
We've been told that stand in the way of progress
and development and all the good things that will
come with statehood
We want to know what these good things are.
We want to know how statehood will benefit Alaska
and to date the statehood people haven't been able
to give us more than number of widely divergent
guesses
We're curious about what statehood is going to
cost And estimates of it's leading proponents vary by
millions of dollars per year The spread between the
high and low estimates is more than eight million
dollars.
AS long as such questions remain unanswered, we
will oppose Alaskan statehood Until Alaskans know
the answers and approve them, statehood will remain
a dangerous step into the unknown And we're buying
no pigs in pokes today.

Seating Red China

British Foreign Minister Bevin
has been nursing a plan to get
Communist China admitted to the
United Nations through action by
the General Assembly
Bevin has worked out his strategy
with midas Premier Pandit Nehru.
Both are convinced that, although
Russia has been agitating for the
Chinese Communists to be admitted
to the UN, actually, Russia is dead
against Red China joining the
world organization. According to
British Intelligence, Russia hopes
that by keeping China out, she
can remain as China's spokesman
and appear to the Chinese people to
be their one real friend.
Bevin and Nehru are also con-
WINGED that Mao tse-Tung and the
Kremlin are not getting along well.
They hope Mao will become Chin
csc Tito"
Therefore, Bevin and Nehru plan
to bring the question of seating
the Chinese to a vote before the
General Assembly where the Veto
cannot be used. However, it will
probably require two-thirds vote
to seat the Red Chinese and exclude
the Nationalist. The British think
they can muster the required vote
to break the deadlock.

MR.. BARTLETT KNOWS BETTER

The attempt to identify all opposition to state
hood with the canned salmon industry is dishonest
and unfair Thousands of Alaskans of diverse inter-
ests are unanimous in their opposition to statehood
And no one knows that any better than does Dele
gate Bartlett
We take exception to the delegates statement to
the press reported in yesterdays Associated Press
dispatch from Washington Mr.. Bartlett told capital
reporters that several telephone calls made from
Seattle by persons identified being connected with
Alaskan fishing interests He went to say that the
calls were made to Senators asking that they vote
against the statehood bill Bartlett declined to identify
the Senators who received the calls.
Of the phone calls, MI. Bartlett said, they) seem
to be last desperate effort to block statehood for the
Territory. I think that it will help the of
statehood because again brings out that the salmon
fishing industry is doing everything in its power to
block statehood"
Mr.. Bartlett should realize, and we're willing to
wager that he does, that there a great many
Alaskans opposed to statehood. And we think Mr.
Bartlett is also that high percentage Of
these people interests whatever in the salmon
fishing industry, which, by the way, is the
greatest source of tax revenue in the Territory.

Johnson's Exit

Secretary of Defense johnson
took the news of his dismissal as II
he had been struck by lightning.
On the morning he was fired, he
was cheerfully planning speeches for
the American Bar Association, Am
rican Federation of Labor and Am
erican Legion.
On the morning after he was fir
ed, he put in routine appearance
at his staff conference. General
McNarney opened the meeting by
saying how shocked they all were
at the new development.
But Johnson held up his hand
and mumbled: mo, no. Not now"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and
McNarney sat down.
Assistant Secretary of Defense
Mcneil also tried to say something
appropriate. But again johnson held
up his hand. So everyone present
stood up, announced there was
nothing to report, and solemnly fill
ed out of the room.
