week non-credit course on Real
Estate Principles and Practices. |"
with the Endorsement of the

need for more and better infor-
nation on the part of real estate

sions, will attempt to satisfy this
need in part.
The sessions will be given

cities as New Orleans. Dallas,
Houston. Los Angeles. San Fran
cisco, Cincinnati. Columbus and
Buffalo.
At these sessions, each broker
received the Ray Smith Co. pol
icy book, outlining his policies
that were developed over many
years and tested by day-to-day
use. The policy book is designed
to serve as a real estate text
book on the practical and ethi-
cal problems Of the business and
how they are met in practice.
No Room for Coercion.
It is interesting to note that
this successful broker says:
Zone firm, underlying policy of
the Ray Smith Co. is that there
is no room for coercion or high
pressure in the selling of real
estate. There is enough. gen.
uine need for the buyer to buy
and for the seller to sell, without
a salesman pushing and SHOW
ing to get a deal made merely
for the sake Of getting a COM
mission"
The intent of the March 16
seminar, Mr.. Kaufman ex-
planned. is to show brokers how
to increase efficiency and lower
operating costs. Because Mr..
Smith will discuss such conf
dental matters as broker-sales-
man relations regarding COM
missions and bonus plans. for
example. the invitations to the
seminar are confined to licensed
brokers.
In general. the seminar will
provide answers and discussions
of these questions:
/. How can you attract able
people as statesmen?
2. How can you quickly train
inexperienced men and women
to be real producers?
3. After you have invested
time and money in training a
producer. how can you be sure
of keeping him from leaving
you to go into business for him
self?
4. How can you get your sales
men to use sales tools and take
directions from you?
5. How can you use simple
forms to increase sales and re-
duce clerical and other overhead
costs?
6. Would you like to have a
written Policy Book that would
provide your statesmen with a
daily guide to profitable real
estate practices?
z. How can you profitably use
part-time statesmen and develop
them into full-time producers?
8. How can you increase your
business volume by establishing
a friendly cooperation on list
ings with your neighborhood
brokers?
9. How much can you profit
ably spend for advertising?
10. How can you establish an
advertising policy that will help
you get exclusive listings and
eliminate once and for all the
sellers complaints regarding
your advertising?

SENATE PASSES ALAsKA-HAWAu STATEHOOD BILL 57 TO .2s

WASHINGTON -(AP)- The Senate yesterday passed the bill to grant statehood to Hawaii and Al aska but the measure may languish in the House Republicans leaders there are receptive to statehood for Hawaii but not for Alaska.
 The Senate approved the combin- ed bill 57-28 after batting down moves to grant the territories com monwealth status, and to require a referendum to let the voters choose between commonwealth and state hood. The first move lost 6O-24. and the referendum proposal was beaten 59-25. Both were sponsored by opponents of statehood, led by Sen. Smathers, Florida Democrat.
 On final passage, 23 Democrats joined 33 Republicans and Inde- pendent Morse of Oregon, against l9 Democrats and g Republicans.
 COP leaders in the House were reported determined to prevent AL aska from achieving statehood now even if it means delay in admit ting Hawaii
 Senator Anderson (D-NM). who helped lead the fight to combine the two measures in the Senate. was asked if he thought Eisenhow- CT held the key to the final out come.
 All he's got to do," Anderson replied, is take his foot off of AL .aska and this bill will pass.
 Senator Gordon, Oregon Republi- can, who managed the bill on the Senate floor, said he would seek the Presidents support for the bill adding: II didn't do all of this work for nothing"
 Alaskan Reaction
 Reaction of Aluskans to the Sen ate passage of the bill ranged from Jubiliation to restrained interest.
 The man in the street apparently was pleased but was withholding any celebration until it gets by the House of Representatives - no small project in itself
 The experience of having one house pass the bill only to see it languish and die in the other was not new in the huge northern ter ritory which appears to be taking a wait and see" attitude.
