Keep the Bills Separate

The prospect Of early action on the long
dormant Sasscer bill for joint commission study
Of interjurisdictional problems in the Washington
Metropolitan Area is highly encouraging There
is need for such study as q preliminary step
toward better coordination of District, State
and Federal governmental activities in Greater
Washington 1t would be unfortunate, however
if legislation to reorganize the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission were to be con-
fused with the survey bill. The planning reform
measure deserves to stand on its own feet, for
it is an entirely separate proposal.
The creation of new Regional Planning
Council consisting of representatives of Virginia,
Maryland and the District of Columbia, would
in no wise be in conflict with Mr.. Sasscers plan
for joint commission to study means OF bringing
about more effective cooperation among Fed
eral, District, county and State authorities in
this area. Whether or not the Sasscer-bin
survey Of public utility control. public safety,
public works financing and similar mutual
problems Of the region is approved by Congress
and the Virginia and Maryland Legislatures, the
reorganization of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is necessary. Hearings on
the NCPPC bfll ought to be held independently
of the hearings on the broader Sasscer bill.
The planning measure drawn up in an
effort to give Virginia and Maryland greater
voice in the planning of the Metropolitan Area,
has the Endorsement Of virtually every govern
mental and planning agency IN the counties
adjacent to Washington. It would set up an
overall council to coordinate highway, bridge
and park planning within the whole area. The
council would take the place Of the present loose
arrangement for teamwork among the various
planning groups relationship so loose, In fact,
that conflict and confusion are inevitable. The
proposed dispersal Of more Federal Offices around
the borders of the District makes even more
urgent a better understanding among the various
planning agencies in the nearby communities.
The need for such an integration Is too pressing
to permit of postponement pending congressional
consideration Of the Sasscer proposal for =
commission to conduct . comprehensive inquiry
and to report its findings to Congress and the
State Legislatures. That sweeping study shouid
be made eventually, but IL would probably
take several years to, complete the task. Mean
while interjurisdicticnal highway, bridge and
park planning must 80 right ahead.

Not a Proper Political Issue

II the question Of statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii could be settled on the basis of what Is
best for the Nations interests, and not on what
Is best for partisan interests, the chances are
that Congress long ago would have passed the
statehood legislation. Unfortunately, political
considerations always have played . prominent
part in congressional deliberations on the sub
1ect, with disastrous results for statehood plans
This year it looks as though it Is the same old
story all over again.
The Senate always has proved to be q
stumbling block. The House has approved
statehood bills by substantial majorities in the
past The threadbare arguments invariably
trotted out against the legislation have to do
more with what political effects it would have
than with the paramount fact that justice
requires favorable action. The Territories have
earned the right to full representation In Senate
and House, whatever changes in the political
lineup Of Congress would be entailed. Actually,
under present circumstances, there probably
would be little or no change If both Territories
were given equal representation, since Alaska
generally votes Democratic while Hawaii votes
Republican.
& Chairman -O'Mahoney OF the Senate Com
nitttee on Interior and Insular Affairs stated
the case for fair. play adequately when he said:
vt don't care whether the Senators to be elected
from Alaska and Hawaii are Democrats or Re-
publicans I am willing to trust the people to
select their Representatives" Aside from the
fightness Of the plan to grant full citizenship
TO Territory residents is the military advantage
OF tying Alaska and Hawaii more closely to the
mainland in defense partnership. 4t would

New School Given Official OK

Juneau-AWard of contract to build a new grade school building at Kodiak at a con struction cost of $566. 902 was given this week in an official notification from Alaska Pub lie Works to Sam Bergesen, Tacoma, Wash, contractor.
 Bergesen's bid was low in competition with four other bids. The award includes masonry partitions which con- tribute fire proof and accousti- cal qualities to the structure. The 11~classroom school as awarded remains essentially as designed with the excep- tion of kitchen equipment which was deleted in order to reduce costs.
 Kodiak's need for a new school has been described by authorities as the most desper- ate in the Territory of Alaska.
 The present facilities are poorly heated and lighted be- sides being extremely over- crowded, school officials re- port. The prospect of a sudden burgeoning of Kodiak's popu- lation with the completion of a proposed housing construction adds to the sense of urgency. they said.
 The construction of a road from Mill Bay road to the to the school site is now un- derway by city workmen. The road follows the route shown on the city plat as Sixth Street.

President Is Keeping
Hands Off Of Primary
In New Hampshire
By Joseph A. Fox

UNITED STATES NAVAL BASE
KEY WEST, Fla. Mar. 8.-Presi-
dent Truman is keeping hands of
of New Hampshire's presidential
primary in which he was an un-
willing entrant. it was indicated
today as the Chief Executive
started his late-winter holiday
here.
Press Secretary Joseph Short
said that the President had no
plans to send message to sup
porters in his contest for conven-
ton delegates with Senator Ke-
fauver Of Tennessee, and in re-
SponSe to another question Mr..
Short said that he knew of no
appeal from New Hampshire for
q word from the White House.
The Presidents name was put in
the New Hampshire lists without
his consent. He had not intended
to go through with test with Sem
ator Kefauver, characterizing
presidential primaries as "eye-
wash," and stressing that they ac-
tually had no part in the selection
OF the party'S nominee.
Takes Short Swim.
He reversed himself, however,
at the urging of National Chair
man Frank Mckinney who point
ed out that Truman supporters
could not take part IN the conven-
tion If the President stayed out of
the primary.
The President didn't see much
sun today. but he got in a short
swim. Rain forced him to cover
however. after about a Quarter of
an hour in the water in mid morn
ing. Earlier, he had taken a brisk
walk about the base, and had put
in about an hour on correspond
ence.
Secretary Short told reporters
that the President was following
precedent" in denying official files
to Representative Chelf, Demo-
crat, Kentucky, head of a House
subcommittee investigating cor
ruption. Stressing that the Presi-
dent had opened departmental
records to Congress in specific
Mr.. Short said that Mr..
Chelf was seeking a carte blanche
grant, and that the President
didn't intend to write any blank
checks" in this connection.

Reporters pointed out that all
agencies had been instructed to
give priority to requests for in
formation from Newbold Morris,

wanted to know if Mr.. Short as
Sumed that Mr.. Morris could get
information from the Justice De-
partment that had been denied to
the Chelf inquiry.
~'I can't assume anything" the
secretary responded.
He said also that he did not
know if a request comparable to
that of Representative Chelf had
been made by Mr.. Morris.
