Other Bills Delay .COnsideratiOnOf
 Statehood Bills
(By Charles D. Watkins)

(BY Charles D. Watk1nS)
 GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate probably won't be able to con- sider Statehood bills for Alaska and Hawaii until some time, next week, at the earliest.
 "I want to see both statehood bills become law," Senator Mag nuson D.-Wash0 said today, "but I don't see how we can possibly ge to them before some time next week." ...
 Bills to admit both Territories to the Union have been passed by the House and approved by the Senate insular committee.
 Magnuson told reporter he be- lieved the appropriation bill now before the Senate can be disposed of by today. Then, he said, Presi- dent Truman's emergency powers bill probably will be given the right-of-way, after which at least one day will be devoted to bills concerning the maritime industry.
 "And if the Presidents tax bill is received before that time it probably will again delay calling up the statehood bills," Magnu- son added.
 Seantor O'Mahoney O.-Wyo0, chairman of the insular commit tee agreed that the tax bill could

Korean Situation
 At A Glance -..
Tuesday. August l. 1850
CBy The Associated Press)


 The North Koreans punched to within 40 miles of Pusan today while a steady stream of Ameri- can army endorsements poured ashore.
 A front line dispatch. said the Reds made 10-nile advance fol- lowing their capture of Chingju near the souht coast on Monday, and were within Is miles of Ma san, small port.
 Two more U. s. army units de- parked at a South Korean port, probably Pusan, following the ar rival of the Second Infantry Divi- sion Monday. Advance "office force elements of the First Ma rine Division arrived by air. The fighting men of the Marines were expected almost any time.
 The First Cavalry and 25th In- fantry Divisions on the central and northwestern fronts made short withdrawals. The enemy's lancing columns were poised at 32, B and 52 miles northwest, southwest and north of Taegu, provisional South Korean capital on the MacArthur supply line to Pusan. The enemy was shifting forces for new and stronger push eS.
 But the American withdrawals were described in a communique as a smoothing and consolidation of the lines: A headquar CT S spokesman said the time was not far off when the tide would begin to turn. He said he believed the phase in which things kept getting worse is about over.
 The Red advance on the north, a pilot reported, appeared to have been stopped when the commun- ists got into Andong and were met by street battlers.
 American and Australian Air Forces flew from dawn hunting crawling columns of North Korean Infantry in mountain passes.
 The spearhead of probing North Korean column, which ap- peared to be in division strength or greater, was turned back by 24th Division troops and South Koreans outside Kochang on the western front where one thrust was aimed at Taegu.
 An American colonel said mor- tar fire chased the communists in to the hills and "Our South Kore- ans took off right after them"
 President Truman asked Con- gress to vote s4,OOO,OOo,OOO for rearming anti-communist nations quickly, declaring world peace was endangered by the Korean crisis.
 Representatives of four of the Brussels Pact nations - Britain, Holland, France and Luxembourg met at the Hague and decided to urge their parliaments to fall in with increased tempo of Euro pean rearmament and defense.
 Western nations appeared as sured of enough votes to overrule the Soiets in the United Nations Security Council, meeting at Lake Success today, in the communist effort to take up the question of China's representation ahead of Korean discussions. Soviet deputy

as method of providing direct
popular vote, in lieu of the cleo
toral college method, and it has
also been claimed that under it a
President could not be elected un-
less he has at least a plurality of
the popular vote. AS a matter of
fact, neither of these claims is cor
rect. Under present conditions with
the even division between the par
ties in the north, a President is
very likely to be elected under the
Lodge proposal when his opponent
gets a majority of the popular
vote.
The fallacy in the plan is that
it gives a tremendous advan-
tage to One-party states, and
particularly to the IL southern
states, in which there S an over
wheIming Democratic majority.
Thus, if the Republicans carried
Ohio by 125,000 votes, which
would be fairly good majority.
the 25 electoral votes of Ohio
would be divided 13 to the Repub-
licans and IL to the Democrats.
On the other hand, in Georgia,
which has less than half the popu-
lation of Ohio and II electoral
votes, the probability is that the
Democrats would get about nine
and the Republicans three. Thus,
Georgia would give the Demo-
Gratis six net votes in the calcula-
ton against one for the Repubii-
cans in Ohio.
THE application of the Lodge
amendment to past elections
proves this point. Bryan would
have beaten Mckinley both in
1896 and 1900, although in 1900
NJ :Kinley received 52.8 per cent of
the popular vote and one of the
largest possible majorities can
didate had had up to that time.
The reason is that the II southern

SUNLIGHT ON SUN

Continuing it's persecution of big Business in Janu
ary the Department of Justice entered action against the
Sun Oil Company of Philadelphia, Pa. charging among
other things that this company is using coercion to compe
dealers to handle it's products exclusively.
Once again the Justice Department is off base
It's getting to be habit Sun Oil admits that at time
it did have exclusive dealing contracts with its service

business without proddng by government Sun voluntarily
abandoned this type of dealer contract

states gave Bryan a larger major
ity of the electoral vote than all
the other states gave Mckinley. In
1908, though Taft received 54.5 per
cent of'the popular vote, he would
only have had a three. vote lead
under the Lodge amendment. II
we take the election of 1914 and
increase Dewey's vote by 10 per
cent in every state, giving him
majority of 100000 over Roose-
welt, ne would still have lost under
the Lodge amendment. A Repub-
licar candidate probably will have
to get about SO per cent of the
popular vote or a majority of 2
million votes before he can win.
These figures cannot be disputed
The argument of the proponents is
that the Republicans would go into
the southern states and campaign
vigorously, spending a lot of money
for that purpose. Undoubtedly the
amendment would produce a much
more lively campaign in the south
and bring out much larger vote
than at present. The percentage
of eligible voters voting, however,
because of many restrictive laws,
would still be much smaller than
in the north. Every vote in the
south would still weigh twice as
NOR is there the slightest evil
y dexce that the Republicans
could successfully increase the
percentage of their vote in the
south, because of course the DEM
ocrats would campaign as vigor-
ously as the Republicans. 1t is not
easy to change the voting habits
of one-party state. All the young
people join the majority party be-
cause that is the way to success,
business and professional, as we'll
as political. Republicans also have
tC overcome the prejudice against
them in the south The amend
ment therefore MAKES the election
of a President with a minority of
the popular vote infinitely more
probable. A Republican candidate
would probably have to have
plurality of million, or So per
cent of the total vote, to win.
Of course, If the Republicans
can secure a large majority of
the popular vote, then they
would win under any system.
But / cannot understand Repub-
licans voting for a system which
is unsound in theory and fatal
to the hopes of Republican sue
cess in any close election.
