Just when life was sweetest,
You always did your best:
The gates of heaven opened,
And God took you home to rest.
God gave us a wonderful mother,
One of the worlds very best.

In heaven she was blessed.

A|askans Seekinq
Statehood Get Scant
Aid From President

President Eisenhower today
gave scant encouragement to a
delegation of Alaskans in WASH
ington seeking statehood for
their territory.
"He didn't say outright he
was for it," said Barrie White,
ir., spokesman for the 15-man
group on their visit to the White
House this morning, "but he
didn't say he was against it,"
However, Mr.. White declared,
''The President expressed great
sympathy in the widest franchise
possible for all Americans ev-
erywhere and assured us that
was uppermost in his mind"
Although Republicans gener-
ally oppose statehood for Alaska,
while supporting it for Hawaii,
tine President has indicated a
willingness to see the populated
areas of the northern territory
become state. For defense
reasons, he has opposed admit
ting the unpopulated areas. Mr..
White said they had asked the
President to urge the House to
vote on Alaskan statehood leg
islation, but got no comment
on their request.
GrOun of 5O RenreSentad
"The President" said Mr..
White, expressed great interest
in what we had to say, and we
expressed q willingness to recog-
nize that there may be defense
considerations and a willingness
to meet those considerations"
Among those who called on
Gen. Eisenhower were B. Frank
Heintzleman, the territorial gov
ernor, and E. l.. Bartlett, dele
gate in Congress.
They represented group of
about SO here to press for state
hood now.
Later today, they planned to
talk with Undersecretary of the
Interior Ralph D. Tudor. They
also reported success in arrang-
ing a session for next Wednes-
day with the House Rules Com
mittee on the prospects of send
ing an Alaska-Hawaii statehood
bill to Senate House conference.
Rugged Obstacles.
AS if that were not enough
for Operation Statehood" Dele
gate Bartlett and the visiting
delegation held a news confer
ence late yesterday. They also
arranged others for this after
noon and tomorrow to report on
progress of their efforts to con-
vince Congress that Alaska
ought to be a State.
They frankly admitted they
face obstacles almost as rugged
as those that stood in the path
Of early pioneers in Alaska. But
they declared they were en-
couraged by their success in
having a chance to see Gen.
Eisenhower and Mr.. Tudor and
to get at least within talking
distance Of the House COM
mittee.
The House has approved a
bill to give statehood to Hawaii.
The Senate added Alaska to the
bill.

in the same manner that the
Union Station plaza rounds out
its eastern end.
Mr.. Churchill said he has dis
cussed the plan with highway
and planning officials here. He
made it plain, however, that de-
tailed plans for all except the
first block of the area are in
definite, pending negotiations
for sale of the developed
property.
Under plans for the first block,
the Harris syndicate will handle
only construction. Cooperative
purchasers of units in thu. medi-
cal and apartment buildings will
form an ownership corporation.
The Flynn company is acting in
the dual capacity of sales agent
for the syndicate and as man.
agement agent for the co-opera-
tive corporation to be formed.
Mr.. Flynn, swho has handled
more than 40 residential CO.
operatives here, including the
Broadmoor, Hampshire Gardens
and the Ontario Apartments,
said subscriptions for the two
new buildings will be taken i'm
mediately.
The medical office building
will front on Twenty-fourth
street, near H. The apartment,
constructed in the form of a
cross. will be in the rear of the
Office building, pointing toward
New Hampshire avenue.
The Office building, Mr.. Flynn
said, will have three under
ground parking levels, for 200
cars. One underground park
ing level will serve the apart
ment.
The 210 apartment units will
range from efhciencies at a
starting cost of $9.1OO. to three
bedroom luxury units, with a top
{ sales price of $29.50O. Sales
terms, Mr.. Flynn said, will in
clude 28.3 per cent in cash, 5
per cent spread in equal month
ly inStallments over the first
five years, and the rest in q 30
year mortgage.
The same sales terms, he said,
will apply to physician and
dentist Office units in the medi-
cal building.
The medical units, Mr.. Flynn
said. will be sold in 4-by-35-foot
sections. with q minimum of
three sections to each purchaser.
The price will be $4,000 per Sec
ton, or $500 for those with
less than 35-foot lengths.
Members of the building syn
dicate, besides Mr.. Harris, in
clude Marvin j. Coles, Washing
ton attorney; Vaughan B. Con-
nelly of Miami, Mark Mckee of
Detroit and John HenneSSey,
general manager of the Statler
Hotels. George Preston Mar
shall, owner of the Washington
Redskins. also is associated with
the. group.

time prosperity. the Republicans
have given us a recession"
Mr.. Truman said this ''eco-
nomic recession" is still here,
has already been too big and
lasted too long. and that it is
time to do something about it,
lest this country runs into a
real depression"
He said that If an enlarged
Federal deficit resulted from his
suggested remedies of higher
Federal spending and tax relief.
''it would be better to have a
somewhat larger Federal deficit
than, an enormously larger ma
tional economic deficit" He
added:
But experience shows that
the best way to balance the Fed
eral budget is to have full en-
ployment and full production. :"
Cites Deficit.
Mr.. Truman contended the Ma
tion is running q national eco
nomic deficit Of about $40 bill
lion a year. He said this was
the difference between an an
nual rate Of output Of about
1919 billion needed to maintain
full employment and full pro-
duction and the present rate of
$3.50 billion.
The former President said the
administration set out to fight
imitation, but the cost of living
is "higer than when they
started"
He added. however, he did not
want his audience to think the
situation is hopeless.
Between now and the end Of
1884" he said, I'VE can elect a
new kind of Congress. Between
now and the end of 1856 the
President can get some new adj
viSers. And toward the end Of
1956-well, I won't talk about
that just yet.
I'm the meantime, and imme-
diately, we should have a pro-
gram to stop creeping McKin-
leyiSm. which is the cause of
our troubles"

by the company which members

Backs Legal Staff Plan.
Mr.. Weston, taking issue with
Chairman Mclaughlin and the
District Commissioners, main
tanned that recent events
strengthened his conviction that
the utilities commission should
have its own counsel instead of
depending upon the Corpora
ton CounSePS Office which has
one assistant corporation counsel
assigned full-time to the COM

Since January, he said, "there
have been new expressions of
hostility" from Louis E. Wolf

make it perfectly clear that

Big FoggyBottom Development
Expected to Start by Fall
By George Beveridge

A New York syndicate hopes
to start construction by fall on
the first one-block project in q

vate redevelopment plan for
Northwest Washington'S Foggy
Bottom area.
Immediate construction plans
Of the syndicate. headed by John

eight-story medical Office build

shire avenues NV.
Both buildings are to be sold
to occupants for cooperative
ownership by the Edmund j

start In Two MOntnS.
Chester L. Churchill, syndicate
executive director, said construc-
ton will start about two months
after the Flynn company gets
subscriptions for cooperative
purchase of 40 per cent of the
units in the two buildings.
The office-building apartment
site is part of a 12-acre tract,
now owned by the Washington
Gas Light Co., on which the
syndicate has a purchase option.
Eventually the syndicate intends
to develop the entire IL acres,
lying generally between Virginia
and New Hampshire avenues
NV. and extending to the Rock
Greek and Potomac parkway.
Mr.. Churchill emphasized,
however, that the first land pur-
chase will cover only the block
for the apartment and Office
building. That block will be
bought, he said, shortly before
construction starts"

operating under District law, and
a provision giving the commits
sion power to raise the Scent
school children's transit fare to
as much as one-haf of the adult
fare.
For the transit company Mr.,
Broadwater opposed the plan to
let the utilities commission pass
on any change in control of a
District utility and said if this
is done, then Congress should
eliminate that power now vested
with the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Suggests Legislation.
Mr.. Broadwater volunteered
some legislation on his own be-
half, all designed to relieve the
transit company of costs it now
bears.
One of these would relieve the
company of having to pay the
expenses incurred by the utilities
commission when it conducts
hearings and investigations about
transit issues. He argued that
the transit company is a tax
payer and should not be made
to pay an additional amount for
a governmental function.
Another is designed to relieve
| the CTC of the "inequity' of
having to bear part of the cost
of removing snow from District
streets.
Another would relieve the
transit company Of having to
pay one-half Of the cost of paw
ing the area between its street.

Truman Offers Steps
To Curb Recession
And 'McKinIeyism'
BY the Assoeiassd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May
13-Former President Truman
accused the Eisenhower admins
tration today of following an
economic policy of creeping Nc
Kinleyism." He suggested six
steps he said would "carry us far
toward full employment within
q year."
Mr.. Truman did not explain
the phrase creeping Mckinley
isn"-an obvious parallel to the
words creeping socialism" which
President Eisenhower has ap-
piled to some Fair DEAL meas
ureS.
President Mckinley was no.
tably conservative on economic
issues. and his name is often
used by Democratic orators as a
symbol for reaction.
Talks to CIO Group.
In an address prepared for
the CIO Amalgamated Clothing
Workers annual convention, Mr..
Truman said the administration
seems to be merely hoping and
praying that things will not get
still worse,." and recommended: /:
I. Increasing Federal spend
ing by about So billion a year
to strengthen defenses against
aggression and to meet needs
for power and resource develop
ment. public works and roads.
education, health and housing.
2. Raising personal income
tax exemptions from the present
$500 to $500, which would cut
taxes about $4.5, billion yearly.
or combining some such increase
with equitable readjustmentS"
in tax rates.
3. Tossing "out of the nearest
window" Agriculture Secretary
Benson's plan for flexible farm
price supports and substituting
a program to support true
parity" of income for the farmer.
Minimum Wage Rise.
4. A "clear-cut policy" favor
ing a rising level Of wages, in
cluding an increase in the Fed
orally required minimum wage
to bring the standard Into line
with present-day conditions. "
He said also the Government
should not try to weaken col
lective bargaining by repressive
labor legislation"
5. Expansion of unemploy-
ment insurance to provide
broader coverage, payments for
longer period and larger bene-
fits. He said the administration
program consists merely of
exhorting the States to do what
everybody knows they will not
do without Federal action.
6. A vastly expanded housing
program, including Federal lead
ership to double the annual rate
of home building as rapidly as
possibly. He said the administra-
ton goal of a million houses a
year is about equal to the num-
ber of houses built in 1925.

us in 1882" the former Presi-
dent said. that they were go

"The world situation is just as

Two key Senators expressed
conflicting views yesterday on
whether the Eisenhower admin

Chairman Ferguson Of q Sen
ate Appropriations subcommit-
tee told the Senate the admin

the $50 billion defense budget.
But Senator Maybank, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina, a sub

Hannah told the subcommittee
the administration will prob
ably" seek more money to cope
with developments in the troubled
Far East.
Predicts Quick Action.
Senator Maybank predicted
Pentagon officials will ask for a
stepped-up. defense budget "aS
soon as they can"
Senator Ferguson told the SEN
ate:
"I do want to say there is not
at the present time an anticipa-
ton of a (defense) deficiency
bill. The budget figures are as
indicated"
A deficiency bill is the usual
method Of seeking more money
when it appears that actual ex-
endituresswill exceed earlier ex-
pectations.
Change in Situation.
Senator Ferguson said that
naturally" there has been a
change in the global picture since
the budget was made up last
summer, but he declared:
The Senator has no evidence
to indicate there will be an ap-
plication (from the administra-
tion) for q deficiency bill to in
crease the amount Of the pres
ent request"
Disagreeing Senator Maybank
said:
Il don't understand that from
Hannah. I know there will be

of State and the Secretary of
Defense make any agreements
