Pointing Toward An Early Vote

WASHINGTON, Up The Sen
ate resumes debate on Hawaii
Alaska statehood legislation to-
day with indications that both
sides are in the mood for an
early vote.
Sen. Smathers D-FlA predict
ed vote tomorrow or Wednes-
day on the proposal to grant tax
free commonwealth status to the
two territories in lieu Of state
hood. Smathers is a leading OPP
ponent of the statehood bill
Majority leader KnowIand said
he could foresee a final Senate
decision by Wednesday on the
whole issue of what to do with
Hawaii and Alaska. The House
has approved statehood for Ha-
wall only.
Smathers said that senators OPP
posing statehood bill will ham
mer away for the next day or
two on the advantages Of COM
monwealth status for Hawaii and
Alaska.
can impartial and objective ap-
praisal of what commonwealth
status offers has great appeal he
said. ''It is a challenge to state
hood advocates that they don't
want to meet"
Delegates Harrington and Bart
lett both have asserted that the
people of their territories want no
part of commonwealth status.
Smathers said, however, that
reports coming to him from Ha-
wall indicate the commonwealth
idea lis creating quite stir out
there"
This, he added, is despite the
fact that the newspapers out there
are so biased in favor of state
hood that they haven't presented
the commonwealth proposal in its
proper light

and quickly abandoned the blaz-
ing ship Sunday morning 20 miles
offshore in the Mediterranean
and were rescued safely.
Four of the crewmen Of the
14,650-ton transport died when an
engine-room explosion sent fire
and choking smoke racing thru
the vessel.
London newspapers speculated
the ship had been sabotaged but
admiralty and transport ministry
authorities refused to comment
on this. The speculation was
heightened becaus Sc she had just
been through the Suez Canal,
where the Egyptians are waging
a ceaseless campaign to force out
the 10000 British troops stationed
there.
The burned-out hulk was re-
ported still glowing Monday and
the admiralty said she would be

NEW YORK--Abolitiou Of the
public school system with state
subsidies to Individual students
would lead to all sorts of "edu-
cational quackery and racketeer-
ma" Walter White, executive Sec
rotary of the National Association
for the Advancement OF Colored
People, warned in report pre-
pared for delivery at the associ-
ations's 45th annual meeting here
Monday.
In South Carolina, Georgia and
Mississippi, he pointed out, threats
have been made to shut down
the public schools and substitute
personal subsidies if the Supreme
Court rules that segregation in
public education is unconstitu-
tional as contended by the NAA-
CP
"Unconscionable quacks and
racketeers would move in setting
up their own debased standards,
the NAACP executive said. THE
state would be helpless to regu-
late these private schools, or to
establish any standards to protect
the states Investment and the
school children, because to do so
would be to exert state action
which would be subject to the
jurisdiction Of the federal courts.
