Mckay Will Strike Balance
Between Conserving and
Exploiting Our Resources

WASHINGTON, Up - Douglas
Mckay, in his first formal speech
as Secretary of the Interior, said
today the nation should preserve
it's natural resources as much as
it exploits them.
The new cabinet officer said he
hopes to- strike a balance between
the views Of:
l. Those who would keep the
country nearer its natural state,
with public recreation parks and
fish and game preserves.
2. Those who would build pow
er dams, drainage and irrigation
projects and oil and gas develop
ments.
He said he feels strongly about
preserving wildlife and recrea-
tional resources, adding: 81 almost
wish in some ways that the Sec
rotary Of the Interior had no other
responsibilities"
However, he said, he recognizes
"the equally heavy obligation" Of
developing water resources for ir-
rigation and power, grazing, tim
Der and mineral industries, as
well as administering the trustee
ship Of Indian resources.
"In the exercise of these re-
sponsibilities," he said, II shall
attempt to maintain balance be-
tween the developmental and the
protective concept"

Opposition To.
Hawaii Statehood
Expected in House

WASHINGTON, RLThe House
picked up the Hawaii statehood
bill today for the third time in
six years-and still opposition is
expected again.
Bills to- make Hawaii a state
passed the House twice-in 1947
and in 1950-but died both times
in the Senate. The proposal now
has the endorsement of both the
Democratic and Republican par
ties and the blessing of President
Eisenhower.
But growing Democratic resent
men Of a snub of Alaska statehood
by the Eisenhower administration,
added to hard core of opposition
from the large states and the
south, makes close vote appear
likely tomorrow.
Democrats, who fought unsuc-
cessfully to shepherd both Hawaii
and Alaska into the union in the
last two congresses, say the Re-
publicans are playing politics with
the two bills this year.
Democrats favoring statehood
for both territories maintain it is
unfair for Republican leaders to
single out Hawaii in any hope Of
getting two more Republican
senators and leave Alaska by the
wayside. The COP holds the
slightest margin over the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate-48 to AZ with
one Independent.

SPRING VALLEY, NY, Up -
The brutal Sayings of two small

The bodies of the two girls, who
lived at a school for underpriv-
