Truman Asks Senate
To Grant Statehood
To Alaska and Hawai-
By the Asseeietsd Press

Saying These are troubled
times" President Truman urged
the Senate yesterday to strength
en- the security of our Nation" by
granting statehood to Alaska and
Hawaii.
Il know Of few better ways in
which we can demonstrate to the
world our deep faith in democracy
and the principle Of self govern
ment." the President added.
MFR. Truman made this plea in
Ia letter to Chairman O'Mahoney
of the Senate Interior Committee
which is considering the two state
hood measures the House passed
some weeks ago.
Noting the contention of oppo-
sition forces that admission of the
two territories would give them the
same representation in the Senate
as the most populus states, the
President said:
This argument is not only en-
tirely without merit, but also di-
rectly attacks a basic tenet of the
constitutional system under which
this Nation has grown and pros
pered.
Without the provision for equal
representation in the Senate for
all states. both great and small,
regardless of population, there
probably would have been no
United States"
Mr.. Truman then added:
There is no justification for
denying statehood to Alaska and
Hawaii on the basis of an issue
which was resolved by the Consti-
tutional Convention in 1897"
Delegate Bartlett, Democrat, of
Alaska, figures Alaska now has a
population of $4,000, a jump of
86 per cent over the 72,54 shown
by the 9140 census.
This is probably the fastest
rate of growth in the Nation" he
told reporters. He said he thought
such growth would strengthen the
territory's case for Statehood.
Hawaii's population, 423, 1880 in
1910, was estimated at $4,000 in
1948.

troubles, occupation officials say
They explain that the whole
government structure could be
brought crashing down by failure
to solve the mounting unemploy-
ment, the big trade deficit" and
the problem of the millions of
refugees pouring from the East
into tightly-packed Western Ger
many.
Settlement of the Saar problem,
say these officials, will solve none
of these domestic troubles nor
have any decisive effect on Ger
many's immediate future.
Chancellor Adenauer indicated
yesterday that the West German
government may ask for a refer
endum in the Saar on the future
control of that border region.
The Saar's population is pre-
dominantly German. Its economy
based on rich coal deposits, is
linked with that of France.
DR.. Adenauer told American
High Commissioner John j. Nc
Cloy at luncheon, it was learned
authoritatively. that the will of
the Saarlanders must be taken into
consideration in solving French
German differences over the
region.
Mr.. McCloy is leaving for the
United States today to confer with
resident Truman and State De-
partment officials.

Allies Fear Germans
Neglect Threatening
Domestic Problems
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Jan. 20.-Top
Allied officials are deeply con-
cerned because the West German
government is neglecting threat
ening domestic problems for
preoccupation with international
affairs.
Latest thorn in the Allied flesh
is the Bonn governments bitter
attacks on French refusal to give
Germany back the Saar Valley
and it's rich coal mines.
The Saar now has an autono-
nous domestic government under
French control. The French early
this week said final action on the
valleys status would not be taken
before the German peace treaty
is written.
American, British and French
officials don't want to criticize
openly the West German regime
they helped create. But privately
they say they feel West German
politicians are hurting their own
cause by not buckling down to
the problems gnawing at the
areas vitals.
They point out there is no pos
sibility of settling the Saar prob
lem now. The Allies have agreed
that any change in the valleys
status must await the peace
treaty.
The Saar dispute is not the first
instance of what the Allies con-
slider undue attention to interna-
tional relations. Before this arose,
the Adenauer governments main
efforts were directed toward halt
ing factory dismantling and inter-
naturalization of the Ruhr VAL
ley's important industrial install
lations.
Not only the government, but
opposition parties as well have
joined in these attacks. They
make popular reading in the Ger
man press and draw attention

Supreme Court Asked
To Grant New Trial for
Judith CopIon Here

The Supreme CourG was asked
yesterday to order new trial for
Judith Coplon on the ground thN
the Government used illegally OBJ
tanned evidence to convict her in
District Court last June of giving
secret documents to Russian.
A petition filed by Archibald
Palmer, counsel for the former
Justice Department employe, con-
tended that the Government re-
lied on information wrongfully OBJ
tained by tapping her telephone
and intercepting her mail.
Miss Coplon is under sentence
of 40 months to 10 years as re-
suit of the District Court jury ver-
dict. She also is awaiting trial
with Valentin A. Gubitchev, Rus
sian engineer, in New York on
espionage conspiracy charges.
The request to the Supreme
Court applies only to Miss Coplon
and the conviction here. She and
Gubitchev. a former United Ma
tions employe, were arrested by
FBI agents in New York City last
March.
Earlier last week Mr.. Palmer
asked the United States Court
of Appeals to send the case back
to District Court here on the
basis of newly discovered evidence.
He also contended that the prose-
cution had presented evidence
obtained by wire tapping. That
issue came up and is still under
consideration at hearings on pre-
liminary motions at the scheduled
trial of Miss Coplon and Gubit-
chev in. New York Federal Court.
The Supreme Court petition
asked also that the Government
concede wrongful use of evidence
and that it join in the request
for a writ of mandamus to force
the District Court to try Miss
Coplon again.
