TRAIN SIGNAL: This name
is commonly used for an alco-
holic drink today. It started with
railroading where a ball signal
was raised high to show that
the track was clear. Gradually
a similar hand-raising salute was
used as a greeting by railroad
men and later the salute spread
to taverns where q drink was
raised instead of the original
railroad high ball.

Backers of statehood for Ha-
waii and Alaska, blocked by
House shelving Of a combined
bill, saw a glimmer Of new hope
today when President EiSenhow-
er urged congressional consider
alton Of separate measures on
their merits.
The President told his news
conference that he always be-
lieved that moves to admit those
two territories to the Union of
States should be acted on sep
arately in legislation. He added
that he still would like to see
such a procedure.
But there was doubt at the
Capitol that separate bills would
pass either branch of Congress
at this session, or that any will
be reported out by committees.
Statehood proposals suffered a
heavy setback yesterday when
the House. by a margin of 48
votes, sent back to committee a
one-package bill that would have
added both territories to the 48
States.
Party Lines Split
The recommittal vote Of 218
to ITO split party lines. Many
Republican as well as Democratic
leaders opposed the one-package
legislation. Recommittal. which
amounted to shelving the bill in
definitely in the Interior and In
sular Affairs Committee. was
favored by los Democrats and
113 Republicans, and opposed by
lot Democrats and SO Republi-
cans. All Republican and Demo-
cratic members from nearby
Maryland and Virginia districts
voted to shelve the bill.
Chairman Engle cast doubt on
q move to get separate bills by
saying. I'm not going to fight
a windmill"
The House approved Hawaiian
statehood bills in 1947. 1949 and
1858. and a bill for Alaskan state
hood in 1850. Last year the Sem
ate adopted a Hawaii-Alaska bill
but the House refused to go
along.
Delegate Bartlett, Democrat,
Of Alaska and Delegate Earring
ton. Republican, of Hawaii urged
in separate interview today that
separate bills be acted on at this
session of Congress. Mr.. Bartlett
suggested that a Hawaiian bill
be considered first to put the
administration to the test" Mrs.
harrington said the size of the
House vote against recommittal
yesterday showed Hawaii still
had a good chance this year.
Will Not Help Either
THE vote serves notice" she
commented, that tying the two
territories together will not help
either to get statehood.
The outlook for favorable ac-
ton in the Senate at this session
was dimmed by the House move.
Senator Jackson, Democrat, of
Washington, chairman of the
Territories Subcommittee of the
Senate Interior and Insular At
fairs Committee, already has
said the Senate would insist on
a joint bill.
The House vote shortly before
7 pm. yesterday climaxed al
most eight hours of debate and
parliamentary wrangling. The
discussion ranged over such va
ried subjects as Communist in
fluence, the voteless District of
Columbia. Davy Crockett and
"disproportionate" representa-
ton Hawaii and Alaska would
have in Congress If they became
States with their present small
population.

tress Helen Hayes appeared on
a radio program sponsored by
a silverware manufacturer. In
addition to her fee. she was pre-
sented with a handsome set of
sterling.
Although she was delighted
with the gift. Miss Hayes could
find no use for it. After keeping
it for a week, she sent it to an
other actress, who was a close
friend.
Several days went by. Then,
one morning. the silver service
was returned to her, Puzzled,
she opened the box. Could it
be that her friend had been dis
pleased or dissatisfied?
She read the note that was in
the box and began to laugh,
The gift was not being returned
to her. as she had thought.
Her friend, it appeared. had
acted on the same program the
following week and had been
given an identical set. She. too,
could find no use for it, and had
sent it to Miss Hayes.
