amount spent in the first five
months of 1852. In May alone the
estimated expenditure was S52,-
900, 900, % percent higher than the
total for May, 1852.
Public school construction be-
tween the same five-month periods
rose only 3.5 per cent. The total
amounts spent, however, were
much greater: S683, 900, 900 through
May, 1858, compared to 60,000,-

Church building by all denomin-
ations has also risen sharply from
last year, increasing by l4.9 per
cent.
Total new construction through
out the country rose less than SIX
per cent over last year in the Jan
uary-May period.
A part of the increase in these
categories over last year can be
explained by the removal of con
trolls from building materials in the
summer of 1882. Since that time il
has been possible to buy building
materials for school and church
construction on the open market

Eisenhower Asks Speed
On Hawaii Statehood
BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower said
today in his stat e of the
Union message that Statehood
should be ''ganted promptly" to
Hawaii. Gen. Eisenhower made
no reference to Alaska, which is
normally Democratic while Ha-
wall votes Republican. The
President said:
THE platforms of both politi-
cal parties promised immediate
Statehood to Hawaii. The people
of that territory have earned
that status. Statehood should
be granted promptly with the
first election scheduled for 1854. "
Former President Truman re-
peatedly in the past recommend
ed Statehood for both Hawaii
and Alaska.
The platform adopted by the
Republican National Convention
at Chicago last summer said:
1--WE favor immediate State
hood for Hawaii.
1--WE favor Statehood for
Alaska under an equitable en-
abling act"

he wanted to study the message

The present members of the
Board of Commissioners have
come out against increasing the
size of the board.
Gen. Eisenhower did not speci-
fly at this time what steps he
proposes to take to eliminate
segregation in the District nor
did he detail what he had in
mind as to local self-govern-
ment."
Suffrage Advocates Cheered.
His declaration on the suf-
frage issue, however, cheered
advocates of Washington home
rule and will spur the drive for
an elected form of city govern
ment.
The Presidents remarks fol-
lowed in general the tenor of the
Republican Party platform which
said:

This has been construed as
calling both for District repre-

some kind of an elected city gov

U.S.. Would Do Better
With Taft President,
Senator Morse Says
By the Associated Press


Senator Morse, Independent,
of Oregon believes 1.-The coun-
try today would be better off
with Bob Taft as President than
Eisenhower"
"Why?" he was asked yester-
day on a discussion panel tele-
vised by CHS.
Because think Bob Taft
would stand for exactly what he
believes in the White House, Z"
Senator Morse replied. land he
wouldn't be tied up with the kind
of compromise I believe Eisen-
hower's tied up with"
Supported Stevenson.
Gen. Eisenhower beat out Sem
ator Robert A. Taft of Ohio for
the presidential nomination in
Chicago last summer At that
time Senator Morse said if Sen
ator Taft were nominated he
would take a walk" and would
neither support Senator Taft nor
oppose him.
A few months later Senator
Morse walked right out of the
Republican Party. labeled him
self an independent and cam
paigned for Adlai Stevenson, the
Democratic presidential nominee.
It was during a discussion of
his bolt that Senator Morse said
he thought the country would
be better off with Senator Taft
in the White House.
II stayed with Eisenhower as
long as I had any confidence in
his political morality" Senator
Morse said.
Sources of Support Hit.
He added that he bolted when
he came to the conclusion that
Gen. Eisenhower was running
a military campaign, not po-
litical campaign, that he was
willing to accept support from
any source he could get it, that
he was willing to say whatever
needed to be said for votes"
The Eisenhower administra-
ton already has made clear that
it is going to follow the Repub-
lican platform, Senator Morse
went on. and he said the Repub-
lican platform makes Mckinley
look like a liberal"
Senator Morse criticized Gen.
Eisenhower for backing the
nomination of former Senator
Richard M. Nixon of California
as Vice President. There should
have been at least three men
nominated so a choice could
have been made on the conven-
ton floor, he said.

CoWart also talked to him about

the company to see what could

He said Cowart, Motley, Foster

time he knew Cowart had such
an interest in the affair. He said
Cowart took part in the discus

The warehouse eventually was
