Statehood

o1d1enOOo
 By a vote of 8 to 2, the Senate Comittee on Interior and Insular Affairs this week adopted mo- tion by Senator Anderson of New Mexico to add Alaska statehood as an amendment to the House-pass- ed Hawaii statehood bill and to hold hearings on such measure.
 Senator Malone, R) of Nevada, and southern Democrats Senators Long of Louisiana and Smathers of Florida, who have been known previously to be opposed to state hood for both territories, joined Senators Murray, Anderson, Gle ments, Jackson and Daniel to vote for the motion. The seven votes against the motion were cast by the seven remaining Sen ators, all Republicans, Senators Butler, Millikin, Gordon, Watkins, DWorshak, Kuchel and Barrett.
 The proposition of Hawaii state hood has been approved three times by the House, the first time in 1947, the second in 1850 and the third on March 10 of this year. Hawaii statehood bills have been reported favorably to the Senate twice once in 1850 and again in 1851. Although state hood bill for Alaska was reported favorably in 1948, the first pass age of bill for Alaska was not approved by the lower house un- til 1850. The Senate committee, in 1850 and again in 1851, approved statehood. During the re- cent April hearings before the territories subcommittee of the House Interior and Insu1ar Ali fairs Committee, 14 Alaskans were heard, all of whom urged immediate statehood.

WASHINGTON NEWSLETTER
 By MARY LEE COUNCIL. Secretary E. Bob Bartlett Aaskas Delegate Congres

$3,834, 200 has been allocated to Alaska for the program. As orig inally passed in the 81st Con gress, the Veterans Administra- ton was authorized to make di- rect loans to veterans and $15C million was made available for the purpose. The 82nd Congress extended this program until June 30, 1853, and made the direct loan fund into a revolving fund, permitting the amounts received from prepayments, repayments, and the sale of mortgages to pri- vate lenders to be used to make additional loans.
 The new bill seeking to extend the program for two more years would increase the direct loan interest allowed to AZ percent from the present 4 percent rate.
 Rivers and Harbors
 Delegate Bartlett is scheduled to appear this week before the House subcommittee considering appropriations for the Army En- gineers to urge appropriations for river and harbor projects in AL aSka.
 The possibility for any money for any of the Alaska projects, however, is remote since the new has not asked for a single dollar for the start of authorized flood control and river and harbor projects anywhere in

Canadian PriVates
And Top Brass Now
Hiuhest Paid in World
BY the Asseeio'ed Press

OTTAWA, Nov. 21.-Canada' S
brass hats and buck privates
are about to become the highest
paid fighting men of their rank
in the world
Effective December / the top
senior and the low junior ranks
in the three Canadian services
will take over the pay check
lead from their counterparts in
the United States forces.
In the middle. however
Junior officers and senior nom
commissioned officers the
Americans retain their lead.
This is the first time in two
years that Canadian service
men have received a raise. It
ranges from SIS to $100 a month
and will bring the military pay
roll total to more than $500
million, a boost Of some $27
million.
For officers, it will amount to
about 10-per-cent hike, for
men. about 812 per cent.
A new recruit in the Army,
Navy, or Air Force will receive
$92 a month. At present, the
figure is $87.
In the case of Rear Admirals,
Major-Generals and Air Vice
Marshals, the boost is from 1881
to 1891.
Based on figures obtained
from the United States EN-
baSsy, here is a comparison of

may still be needed, but declared
that the severe restrictions of the
Whitten rider were excessive. He
declared that repeal of the rider
would give the administration
the f1eXibility needed in deter
mining just how many indefinite
employees should be given per-
manent status.
Declaring that since 1850 when
the Whitten rider went into
effect, new agencies have been
created and others have taken
on additional duties. Mr.. Rees
said he felt the permanent per-
sonnel ceilings of the Whitten
rider "were no longer realistic :"
The original Whitten rider en-
acted by Congress after the out
break of the Korean war barred
any future permanent appoint
ments in Government. Conse-
quently. employees entering the
Government after September,
1850, were given only indefinite
appointments, even though they
may have passed civil service
exams.
However, a White House exec
utive order issued shortly after
the original Written rider and
designed to carry out it's provi-
sions, is still in effect. Conse-
quently. permanent appoint
ments of any kind are still
barred.
Civil Service Commission Off
cialS declare that complete re-
peal of the Written amendment
is needed. rather than new
executive rider allowing perma-
nent appointments up to the
September /. 1850 level. They
contend that allowing permanent
appointments up to the 1850
level-which would provide for
about 100000 such appointments
would present an administra-
tive headache in trying to decide
which of the 100000 indefinite
workers should be given the
100000 status appointments
available.
The administration has gone
on record in favor of outright
repeal of the Whitten rider, so
that it can have the administra-
tive discretion it feels necessary
in determining how many en-
ployes should be given permanent
status.
The large employe turnover
each year as a result of resigna-
tionS, separations, retirements
and other factors, is the cause
of the A per cent drop in the
number of Government per-
manent jobs since 1850, even
though total Federal employ
ment has increased consider
ably since then.
csc officials declare that un-
less permanent appointments
are once again authorized, the
concept of a Federal career Serv-
ice will be jeopardized as the

make the Democrats play pol
itics. On the other hand, Dem
ocrats have declared that they
saved Gen. Eisenhower on a
number of important votes in
the last session of Congress
seeking to convince the inde-
pendent voters who f1ocked to
Gen. Eisenhower's support in
1852 that they should vote for
Democratic candidates for Con-
gress if they really want the
hands of the President upheld.
The Demo ocratS laid the
groundwork for their campaign
against the Republicans earlier
in the year. They placed parti-
cular emphasis on the fact that
President Eisenhower has ap-
pointed many representatives OF
business-big business-to high
governmental position. Adlai
Stevenson, for example, sug-
gested that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration might eventually be
known as the Big Deal" Falling
farm prices-although they be-
gan in the Truman adminiStra-
tion-have been seized upon as
a vehicle of attack by the Demo-
Gratis. They are planning to make
"McCarthyiSm" an issue, as a
kind of offset to the Republican
attack on Democratic handling
of Communist inflltration into
government.
While the Democrats are
planning to make hay in the
farm districts, the Republicans
are organizing to go after Dem
ocratic House seats in the indus
trial areas and big cities and
also in the South. The Repub-
licans will use their plea for up
holding President Eisenhower as
a major battlecry. Since Gen.
Eisenhower actually carried 295
congressional districts in the
1852 election, although Repub-
licans elected their candidates
for the House in only 221 dis
tricts, it is obvious why the
Republicans should make the
most of the Eisenhower issue.

| Republicans Facing
Struggle 10 Control
Both Houses in 81
By Gould Lincoln

AS the Republicans prepare
for the second and vital session
of the 83rd Congress, opening in
January, their thoughts turn
bleakly to death and resignation
Should the Republicans lose
three more House members and
their places be filled by Demo-
Gratis at special elections, ma
jority control of that body would
shift to the Democrats, terrific
handicap for the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration.
Two designations and one
death of Republican House mem
bers already have resulted in
narrowing the gap between the
Republicans and Democrats in
the House. The Republicans now
have 219 House members, the
Democrats 215, and there is one
independent. When the elections
were held last year, the RepIb-
licans had 221 House seats, the
Democrats 213, and l independ-
ent.
The Republicans lost two seats
in special elections this fall
and retained one. The Demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, elected
party members to fill vacancies
in five special elections and lost
none.
Raises 6. o. p. Hopes.
Congressional elections in
1880, in the middle of former
President Hoover's term, re-
suited in the election of 218
Republicans, ZIG Democrats and
l Farmer-Labor member of the
House. The new 72d Congress
did not meet until December,
1881. During that interval, the
Republicans lost their House
majority because Democrats won
four special elections to fill seats
held by Republicans which had
become vacant.
The most recent special elec-
tion-that in the oath Cali
fornia district-haS given the
Republicans hope. It's -candi-
date, Glenard P. Lipscomb, won
there, ending a run of seven
Democratic victories in elections
to fill vacant House seats. The
Republicans had been shaken by
defeats of their candidates in
the 9th Wisconsin and 9Th New
Jersey districts.
Death of Senator Taft of Ohio
already has given the Democrats
the lead in number of Senate
seats. In the upper house, the
Republicans now have At seats,
the Democrats 48 and l indie
pendent-Morse of Oregon. If
Senator Morse at any time de-
cided to vote with the Demo-
Gratis on organization of the
Senate. the Republicans would
be out so far as committee chair
manships and the president pro
tempore of the Senate are con-
cerned
Congressional Quarterly has
canvassed the ages of House
members and finds that "a Re-
publicans and IS Democrats will
be over IS years of age at the
end of this year.
Counting On Exposes.
Whatever happens in the mat
ter of vacancies and special elec-
tions during the next year, the
Republicans are faced with a
struggle to hold control of the
House and Senate in the 1854
elections.
It is clear they are counting
on exposes of laxity on the part
of the Truman Democrats in
dealing with Communist inflltra-
ton into the Government. Re-
publican National Chairman
Leonard w. Hall has said that
the Harry Dexter White case
gives the Republicans a great
lift" for the coming campaign.

as much as they can of the

time immunity results from VAGINA
ton.
Another factor is that one disease
may be caused by a bacteria of sew
eral types or species. Each of the
species of the bacteria is equally cap
able of causing the one disease. A
vaccine made from the one species
of the bacteria will not protect the
animal from the other species. The
dis Ease hemorrhagic septicemia
(stockyards fever, shipping fever,
pasteurellosis) is an example. There
are three types of the bacteria in
volved in this disease. Each causes
the same symptoms. Bacterins made
from the one type will not protect
the animal from hemorrhagic septi-
cenia caused by the other two types.
| The most effective bacterin should
contain all three types.
Sanitation Plus Vaccination
Still another important factor to
keep in mind is the following: A lot

cloud of false security after they
have vaccinated their animals. They
think that the animal just could not
get that disease because it was
vaccinated. 1t must be re-emphasized
that the immunity produced in the
animal is variable. This immunity
may be overcome by disease organ
isms of exceptionally high virulence
(often called a particularly shot
bug').
The immunity may be overcome
by massive amounts of the disease
agent descending upon the animal
at one time. The immunity can also
be overcome by permitting the ami
mails natural resistance to become
lowered by poor nutrition and en-
vironment. In other words a rancher
who has vaccinated against disease
has not done all he can to prevent
that disease. 1t is absolutely essential
that good management and santa
ton be used along with vaccination
if disease control is to be successful.
Vaccines Perishable
Storing the vaccine on the shelf
behind the clubhouse stove where
it remains cool in the summer and
cooks in the winter, or leaving the
vaccine in the jeep to freeze for a
week makes a lot of vaccine alb
solutely worthless. Vaccines, bac-
terms and antiserums are produced
under the supervision and given a
veterinary license by the federal gov
eminent. This assures that these
products were good when they left
the laboratory. The laboratories also
place an expiration date on each vial
because these products deteriorate
with age. Don't use them after the
expiration date. All bacterins, vac
cines and antiserums must be stored
under refrigeration until used to
avoid using worthless product.
To insure the maximum benefits
from vaccines, bacterins and anti
serums they must be properly han
died and administered.

Alexandria S School Head -,
T.c. Williams, 10 Be Feted

A testimonial dinner honoring
Alexandria School Supt. T. c.
williams will be given by the
Alexandria Education Associa-
ton at 7 pm. Saturday in the
cafeteria of George Washington
High School.
Mr.. Williams is completing his
goth year as superintendent OF
the Alexandria school system,
and recently was reaopointed to
a new four-year term.
When Mr.. Williams came to
Alexandria in 1888. the school
system had l34 teachers, 5,094
students and schools and grounds
valued at $666,000. This year, the
Alexandria school system has a
faculty of 405, an enrolment of
9,778 and buildings and grounds
valued at $50 million.
In announcing the testimonial
dinner. the education association
pointed to AleXandria's unique"
position among Northern Vir-
ginia's school systems. The city
has no double shifts with half
day sessions, and overcrowding
is rare.
