Based on past experience, very

Many of them bought the tags
in order to avoid paying the

Senate Democrats
Meet 10 Bolster Lines
For Alaska Statehood
By J. A. O'Leov

Senate Democrats met in par
ty conference today to strengthen
their lines in support of a move
to add Alaska to the Hawaiian
statehood bill.
In an effort to head of such
a move. Republican leaders have
given assurance that statehood
for Alaska will be considered
soon as a separate bill. If it is
not attached to the Hawaiian
bill.
The vote will come later this
week on a motion by Senator
Anderson. Democrat, of New
Mexico. to include both terri
tories in one bill. The Senate
is so closely divided that the
Anderson motion may be decided
by one or two votes. either way.
Other Developments.
Meanwhile, there were these
other developments on the
Hawaiian statehood front:
/. The Senate yesterday ap-
proved amendments to the
Hawaiian bill, fixing the boun-
diaries of the proposed new
State. and allowing it two seats
in the House. AS passed by the
House last year, 1t gave Ha-
waii only one House seat.
2. Gov. Samuel w. King of
Hawaii denied the charge of some
opponents of statehood that
Hawaii would be dominated by
Communist influences in the
islands.
In letter to Senator Butler,
Republican. of Nebraska. Gov.
King challenged the predictions
OF Judge Ingram M. Stainback,
a former Governor, who testified
before the Senate Interior and
Insular Affairs Committee early
this year. Senator Eastland,
Democrat. Of Mississippi, also
made speech last week, charg-
ing that the economic life of the
islands could be dominated by
Communist leaders.

complaint. is to meet Thursday

over the Hudson River.
Mr.. Grew answered that the
Federal Government has failed
in its agreement to develop the
island to the point where it
would be used by a large number
of people.
He said the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. however. proposes
to spend money during the next
three years on development in
time for a formal dedication Of
the island by October 81, 1858
the centennial anniversary of
Theodore RooSevelt'S birth.
Mr.. Lewis argued that the
bridge would detract also from
the entire monumental area near
the Lincoln Memorial and Con-
stitution avenue.
He argued that the standards
by which such a bridge pro-
poSal might be argued in other
cities cannot apply here. con-
tending that the aesthetic must
be considered in Washington be-
cause it is so material in Wash
ington."

Mr.. Clarke struck also at uaf-
fic studies, that the e street
bridge would "cause greater con-
geStion in the heart of the CEN
trail area than we have now"
He challenged the need, in fact,
for river crossing between Me-
mortal and Key Bridges lat this
time" He said that at such
time as crossing is needed there,
q tunnel should be built.

committee to give serious con-
sideration to bridge site at

that the excise tax extension will
be permanent" Mr.. Reed said.
1--WE plan Ito look into these
taxes again next year in rela-
ton to the general fiscal picture
to see if there can be an adj
justment. But the minute you
set termination date for this
extension you will start a buy
erS' strike against automobiles
and the other items if there is
an idea that the taxes are GER
tain to be cut next year I
don't know who started this
propaganda but it can cause a
lot of trouble
Republican leaders indicate
that whatever happens in the
House. they are putting their
main hope in the Senate. Their
strategy repeatedly is to try in
the Senate to knock out some
of the committee-approved cuts
or at least block additional cuts.
Some Republicans concede this
will be extremely difficult. if
only because the margin between
the two parties is even narrow
er in the Senate than in the
House.
Such a recommittal motion
under House rules, is the only
one the opposition can make in
trying to amend the bill without
consent of the committee.
Furthermore, a motion Of that
kind can relate only to excise
taxes. because any motion Of
fered must be germane to the
subject of the bill.
When a House approved ex-
else tax bill reaches the Senate
there would be no ban on NOV
ing to amend it by increasing
personal income tax exemptions
House Republican leaders said
today they "have reason to be-
lieve" that Senator George, Dem
ocrat. of Georgia will not use
the excise tax bill as vehicle
for any individual income taa
amendment.
The Georgia Senator favors
increasing individual income taS
exemptions from 5000 to $500
The House Republican leaders
said they have been informed
that he originally intended to
move for such an amendment
on the excise tax bill but has
decided to wait until the big
revision bill comes over from
the House.

By .hs Associated Pres. :

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Sept. 4.
-Railroaders in convention here
expressed worry today over
troubles of farmers.
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, meeting for it's 30th

asking a high level investigation
to determine why foodstuffs are
so high at retail to the consumer
while at the same time farm in
comes are dropping so drastic

w. P. Kennedy, president of
the brotherhood said that when
the farmer prospers, so does the
railroad man and every other
worker. Our interests are inter-
dependent. We need each other.
We are extremely worried about
the farm income situation"
MI. kennedy SAID antl-labOr
interests are trying to make the
farmer believe that it is high
wages of organized workers
which make their purchases cost
more.
1.-THE city worker can only buy
the products of the farm if his
wages are high" said the labor
executive.
He added that the present "se-
we're farm recession could pave
the way for a general economic
depression" and that the drop in
farm income had slowed indus
trial production and transporta-
ton services, with resultant city
unemployment.

The Justice Department, a
little touchy on this point, insists
firmly that the Constitution pro-

of each House must vote to over
ride if the Presidents decision is
to be reversed.
Since Congress can't do this
now that the House has gone

there is no Congress and the
pocket vetoes are Constitutional.
The administration also is in
