One of the organizations which
mailed these reprints was the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, headed by DR.. Edward Rum
ely, an ex-convict, jailed during
World War I for being the agent
of the Kaiser. Many reprints were
mailed under the frank of Con-
gresham Ralph w. Gwinn, New
York Republican, friend of General
Eisenhower, and who has loaned
his frank to almost every pro-Fas-
cist organization in the United
States.
On top of this, Republicans clev-
erly concocted negro endorsements
of Graham under the phony title
of the National Society for ADJ
vancement of Colored People"
There is no such society. But there
is National ASSOCIATION for
Advancement OF Colored People, -
headed by Walter White.
BY changing the word "associa-
ton" to society" however, and
signing the letters White in
stead of White" Graham's enemies
succeeded in fooling thousands of
North Carolina voters. Copies of
these phony endorsements were
mailed from New York to North
Carolina boXholders. AS a result,
thousands of voters who had been
for Graham in the first primary
stayed away from the polls in the
runoff.

IT WILL BE TOO LATE

When the original Alaska Statehood Bill, HR 331,
after having passed the House, to the Senate
and a hearing was had before the Senate Committee
on Territorial and Insular Affairs, it was brought to
the attention of the committee that this bill had not
been given any circulation in the Territory so that
very few persons were familiar with its contents.
1t was also pointed out that the provisions of the
bill relating the transfer of public lands to the new
State were wholly inadequate Apparently most of the
proponents of statehood agreed to that and did the
members of the committee, for the bill has been
amended in the Senate Committee and the chief
amendments deal with Section S. relating to the
transfer of public lands to the new State We have
received copy OF the bill it stands and as it
was amended by the committee on June 81 and % Sec
ton sob of the latest bill reads as follows:
After five years from the admission OF Alaska
into the Union, the State, in addition to any other
grants made in this section shall be entitled to select
not to exceed twenty million acres from the vacant
unapproprated and unreserved public lands in the
State Such selections shall be made in reasonably
compact tracts Provided That valid, existing rights
shall not be affected by any such selections or grants
Where the lands desired unsurveyed at the time
selection the Secretary of the Interior shall survey
the exterior boundaries OF the area requested without
any subdivision thereof and shall issue patent for
such selected in terms of the exterior boundary
survey Such lands may be granted or sold by the
State in tracts of not than $40 acres for any
purpose but with a reservation to the State OF a
ROYALTY of not more than 1872 per centum on all
mine1als produced therefrom, The lands granted 70
the State Alaska pursuant to this subsection ana
income thererom and the proceeds thereof when said
lands are Sold shall be held by said State public
trust for the support public schools and other public
educational institutions"
In the first amendment made by the committee, the
provision that valid existing rights shall not be af-
fected by any such selections grants not in
Guided However, the inclusion of that in Section sob
would seem add very little protection for the new
State in acquiring public lands.
rs the section reads the State shall be entitled
after five years select not to exceed 100000 acres
from unappropriated and unreserved lands in
the State AS the tracts selected the Secretary
of the Interior shall survey the exterior boundaries
of the areas requested and shall issue patent for
such selected area in terms of the exterior boundary
survey
Now let suppose that the new State after live
years begins select be transferred to it by
patent from the United States Let us say it selects
an area containing three four thousand acres IN
one locality. The State is not likely to select
mountain peaks tundra, but it may be assumed
