Florida Sen. FavOrs
Statehood For
Alaska Over TIL.

WASHINGTON, Up - Senator
Smathers O-Fla) said today he
will join other senators in intro
ducing a bill to require approval
by a two-thirds majority vote in
each house of Congress and three
fourths Of the state legislatures
for admission of new states to
the union.
All that is needed now is a
majority vote in both the House
and Senate and approval by the
President.
The Florida senator said his OPP
position to statehood for Hawaii
is mot sectional with me and
has nothing to do with civil
rights" 1t stems, he said, from
reports on Communism in Ha-
wall and the recent testimony be
fore the Senate committee Of for
mer Gov. Ingram Stainback Of
Hawaii.
"Stainback said the Communist
conditions in Hawaii have wors-
ened since 1850, and who is more
qualified to speak than Stain
back?"
Smathers said he is against
making a state of any non-con-
tiguous territory because it is a
bad practice to start and once we
let the door open we might as
well open the barriers all the
way"
He said he favors Alaska over
Hawaii for statehood, if any are
to be admitted, because the
people are much more like we
are, understand our history and
conditions"
Smathers said if the Hawaii bill
wins committee approval attempts
probably will be made on the
floor Of the Senate to add Alaska
to the legislation.

Yugoslav Communists
Expel Vice Pres. Djilas
For Airing Political Views

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Up -
The Communist party's central
committee has expelled vice
president Milovan Djilas from its
ranks after hearing President
Marshal Tito denounce his top
aide. Tito said Djilas attempted to
"liquidate" the Red party in
Yugoslavia and sought to adopt
the capitalistic system.
Immediately after the 100-mem-
Der committee, meeting yesterday
in extraordinary session, issued its
unanimous decree firing him,
Djilas resigned as chairman of the
Yugoslav parliament.
He also repented his actions,
confessing that his attitude had
been wrong He denied that he
opposed Tito and his policies and
swore he still was a "true Marx
ist."
Djilas' purge from the party
leadership climaxed the most dis
rupting politico-social controversy
among Yugoslavia's rulers since
the wa.
Though the party committee
confined itself mainly to Djilas'
political views, the writings that
brought down the Red wrath were
his criticisms Of the wives Of other
top Communists.
Djilas charged in. long article
in new thought that some Of
the ladies of the elmer circle
itself a bad term to the Reds
had snubbed the actress wife OF
one official. Without mentioning
names, he made it clea-, he was
talking about the recent bride OF
chief of staff Gen. Peko Dapcevic
The excuse for giving her the
cold shoulder, said Djilas, was
that she had not been wartime
partisan fighter like many of the
other leaders. He pointed out she
was only Is at the time Of the
war.

Will Propose Use of Govt.
Farm Products SURPRISES
To Aid Friendly Countries

WASHINGTON, LR- President
Eisenhower soon will ask Con-
gress for authority to use up to
one billion dollars worth Of sur
plus farm products to strengthen
the economies Of friendly coun-
tries.
This plan was disclosed today
by Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son in a statement before the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, out
lining the administrations new
farm program.
The proposed use of govern
ment SURPRISES - which Benson
said today now exceed $5,5OO,O 0O,-
600 - would be in addition to
$2,5OO,O0O,OO0 worth of SURPRISES
which would be "insulated'' from
regular commercial supplies for
special uses. Such uses would be
for disaster relief, the school
lunch program and for stockpil-
ing for national emergencies.
The insulating" idea was ad-
vanced by the President a week
ago in a special message to Con-
gress outlining his farm program.
Details of how the overseas sur
plus program would be handled
were not specified in Benson's
statement.

Dulles Says Soviet
Veto Principal
Weakness of U.N.

WASHINGTON, Up Secretary
Of States Dulles said today Red
China fails to qualify for mem
bership in the United Nations be
cause it does not respect ''the
elemental decencies Of inte~na-
tional conduct"
Dulles spoke out in a prepared
statement to a Senate Foreign Re-
lations subcommittee which began
considering possible ways Of
amending the United Nations
charter.
Sen. Wiley R-Wis, chairman of
the committee, agreed with Dulles
in a statement that the U.N. had
Shortcomings and weaknesses.
But Wiley a id proposals to
amend the U.N. charter, as called
for under the charter itself, should
be aimed at preserving and
Strengthening the international
rganization-not at underwriting
it or wiping it out.
Dulles, in his statement to the
committee, said he must admit
the high hopes of those who
founded the U.N. at San Fran
cisco in 1945 have not been real
lied. He said there were two rea-
sons: ove~-optimism on all sides
at the start, and Soviet lack of
cooperation to the point of vio-
lating "the spirit and indeed the
language of the charter"
Dulles said 'the greatest weak
ness" of the U.N. charter was the
Security Councils inability to
discharge its primary responsib-
ility for the maintenance of inter
national peace and security"
This inability, he said, arises
principally from the Soviet's fire.
quent use Of the veto power.
The Soviet veto, he said, has
excluded from the U.N. family
of nations" Austria, Cambodia,
Ceylon, Finland, Fire, Italy, Jor-
dan, Japan, South Korea, Laos,
Libya, Nepal, Portugal and Wet
nam.

Propose Govt.
Bolster Private
Health Insurance

WASHINGTON, (R- President
Eisenhower proposed Monday
that the government bolster pri-
vate insurance plans as a step
toward lettering the health Of all
Americans.
In a special message to Con-
gress, Eisenhower asked for Is
million dollars to start a system
of government re insurance of
private plans, to help take care
of extraordinary expenses be-
You'd those now covered.
The President also proposed a
five year plan for expansion of
the program for rehabilitation Of
the disabled. Under it a total of
100000 disabled persons would be
returned ''to places Of full res
possibility" as actively working
citizens.
Eisenhower's plan rejecting
the Specialization of medicine"
also called for (A0 continuation of
present Public Health Service pro-
grams, CD new, simplified for
mula for grants-in-aid to the
states for health purposes, and
Co a stepped up program of con-
struction of medical care facilities.
The President told Congress the
total private medical bill of the
nation now exceeds nine billion
dollars year an average of
5000 family-and still is rising.
He said the emphasis in dealing
with the problem must remain
essentially on private care, but
that the government can and
must help.
Freedom, consent, and indi-
vidual responsibility are funda-
mental to our SYSTEM" he said.
In the field of medical care,
this means that the traditional
relationship of the physician and
his patient, and the right of the
individual to elect freely the man
me- of his care in illness, must
be preserved.
I'm adhering to this principle,
and rejecting the Specialization of
medicine, we can still confident
ly commit ourselves to certain
national health goals
Zone such goal is that the
means for achieving good health
should be accessible to all. A per-
sons location, occupation, age,
race, creed or financial status
should not keep him from enjoy
ing this access"
