Sen. Jackson Asks Eisenhower to
 Endorse Statehood

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Jack son D-Wash Saturday called on President Eisenhower to endorse Alaska statehood.
 Only through such action, the chairman of the Senate Territor- ies subcommittee said, is it likely the Senate would consider acting on separate bills to admit both Alaska and Hawaii.
 Jackson said he has been urged by supporters of both territories to have his committe approve separate bills since House rejec- ton of the combined bill.
 ''In the absence of affirmative action toward Alaska by tn e President, however, I feel any action by our committee would be a waste of time," Jackson said.
 The senator, who favorS the statehood for both territories, said he feels there should be no dis crimination between the two.
 He noted that Eisenhower, at a recent news conference, said he felt the two territories should be treated in separate bills.
 But no one asked him the next question - would he treat them alike? From what he has said so far, the impression is that he would veto an Alaskan bill," said Jackson.
 The President has frequently endorsed immediate statehood for Hawaii, but never for Alaska. In connection with consideration of the joint bill, the President recent ly advised Jackson that while he felt no bill could remove his pre- sent apprehensions over Alaska, he would give the proposal his earnest consideration" if it in cluded a provision authorizing the creation of military reservations in roughly half the territory.

Demo Chairman Butler Accuses Administration
 Of SMishandling' Vaccine

CLEVELAND, R-DemOcratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler Saturday accused the Eisenhower Administration of "mishandling" the Salk polio vaccine situation
 Butler spoke of "heartbreaking confusion" and said "a thorough government inspection in the be- ginning could have avoided this confusion"
 The Democratic chairman struck out at the administration on this and other counts in speech pre- pared for meeting of the Fedora ton of Democratic Women of Ohio.
 He said US. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele, head of the Public Health Service, ''has pro- claimed his faith in the vaccine and no one will quarrel with his recommendation for a more thor ough check"
 But it is difficult to under stand" Butler added, why the government didn't take the lead ership in the beginning and thus avoid the mishandling that has occurred. V"

GOOD NEWS FOR THE COMMUNISTS

If survey made by the Opinion Research Cor poration among seniors in 86 high schools scattered the country correct there is something alarm ingly wrong with American education.
 According to the results 82 percent of these stu dents do not believe have competition in business 50 percent feel owners get too large share of the profits 61 percent reject the profit motive as necessary to the survival of free system 55 percent accept the classic Communist doctrine of from each accord ing to ability to each according to need and 50 per cent think worker should not produce all he can.
 This should make the in the Kremlin happy For, if such views widely held and acted upon by our citizens of tomorrow, will destroy this nation from within-whch is what the Communists want beyond anything else.
 Nome would be greatly improved if all owners of houses would have them repaired, painted, and reno vated You would hardly recognize the place.

Professor Says Timber X Tourists
 Are Alaska's Best Bets For Future

SEATTLE, R-A University of Washington faculty member said Saturday that timber and tourists offer Alaska it's best prospects for continued development
 An analysis of Alaska's econ omic problem is presented by William J. Stanton, associate pro- lessor of marketing, in the Aug ust issue of Pacifid Northwest Business.
 Stanton sees Alaskan economy at turning point, with military construction and fisheries, the territory's two top sources of rev. enue, declining.
 The $54,OOO,0OO Ketchikan pulp mill has given to the territory its first substantial year around in dustrial operation, Stanton says, with the promise there will be ther important developments based on the territory's relatively untapped wealth of timber.
 Tourism, based increasingly on air and automobile travel, also has good prospects.
 Stanton says there are oppor- tunities for further development of by-products by the fisheries industry.
 He foresees gradual develop

ment of mining operations and of the territory's large resources of hydroelectric energy.
 It is impossible, Stanton says, to determine to what extent mili- tary construction will be curtailed but substantial 1856 operations already are scheduled.
 A large-scale Copper River power development, to serve as the basis for an aluminum- -reduc- tion operation, is listed as one of many possibilities in the industri- al field. Tn the absence of such "a development, Stanton foresees a gradual building of smaller proj- ectS.

LOuiseville Weather
 So Hot He'd Return to Alaska for Bribery Trial

LOUISVILLE, Ky, R-T he weather's so hot here Harry J.. Kane wants to go back to Alaska to face bribery charge.
 But there are a few details to be settled before Kane can start his 5,000-mile trip in custody of federal officials.
 Kane's in jail on a state charge of obtaining $12O under false pre- lenses. The warrant was obtained by an auto dealer who claimed he gave Kane a check as advance payment on some Army jeeps which, he found out later, Kane didn't own.
 Arrested in Memphis, Tenn, Kane was returned here but was unable to make $5,0OO bond.
 Tn Alaska, meantime, officials heard of Kane's arrest at Mem phis and promptly boosted his bond to $1O,OOO. He previously had been free under $2,O0O bond on charge of bribing an Air Force sergeant in Anchorage to give him a false list of surplus property for sale.
 In court Friday Kane said he couldn't post increased federal bond but offered to return the $12O if that would hasten his re- turn to Alaska, where "the weath- CT is cooler than 1t is here"
 Kane presumably didn't know it was 920 in Alaska one day last week.

Patent HEARINGS
Wind Up Today

Problems confronting Ameri-
can inventors viii be summed UP
by Commissioner of Patents Rob-
Iert c. Watson as a Senate Judi
ciary Subcommittee brings to a
close today three days Of hear
ings on the subject.
Retired Federal Judge Learned
Hand. who had long experience
with patent litigation on the
bench. told the subcommittee
yesterday 1t would be constitu-
tional to limit patent holders
to protection against those who
copy the invention. He was max
ling the point that 1t is possible
for a second person to arrive at
the same result In research with
Eout recourse to what has been
done by the holder Of q patent
in the same field.
Both Judge Hand and Mr..
Watson emphasized the need
for a thorough study to find out
how the American patent sys-
tenn has worked and what its
impact on the economy of the
Nation has been.
Mr.. Watson testified that the
only thorough survey Of that
kind going on at this time to
his knowledge Is a study begun
by a patent foundation estab-
lished at George Washington
University.
o. 8. Colclough, acting direc-
tor Of the GWU Foundation told
the subcommittee that this study
has been going on for more
than o year.

Three Possibilities in Each Party
Seen CopobIe of Leading Nation

of government. AS Republican
leader of the Senate. he has
shown himself to be tactful
and persuasive. His principal
opposition would come from
those liberal" Republicans
who think he is as conserva-
tive as Senator Taft was. They
forget that in California
which has the second largest
population in the Union-Sen-
ator Knowland in 1852 won
reelection after obtaining
both the Republican and DEM
ocratic Party nominations in
the primaries. The people Of
California may not always
agree with some views ex-
pressed by their senior Senator,
but they have tremendous re-
spect for his ability and the
sincerity of his convictions.
Bill Knowland would never
sacrifice his convictions to win
a political Office
But. due to the fact that
Knowland has been repre-
sented as being at variance
with Eisenhower on some
aspects Of foreign policy, the
chances Of his being selected
to run on the Eisenhower
record are not good. Since
President Eisenhower does
have a favorite-Vice President
Nixon--it is unlikely TINT 1856
can be considered as Know
lands year. He is Only AZ years
old, however. and win be heard
from in future campaigns for
the presidency.
The man about whom con-
siderable controversy has been
raised is Vice President Nixon.
The Communist Daily Worker
displayed a few days ago
an editorial article with the
headline. stop Nixon!" The
main attack on him, how
ever, comes at present from
the Democrats. They really
fear he would win. They know
in their hearts that he is a
better campaigner than any
man the Democrats will nomi-
nate and may prove far more
effective on the stump than
Harry Truman or Franklin
Roosevelt. He is better than
either Stevenson or Hartman
on television and radio. He can
make extemporaneous speeches
with a dramatic appeal.
For Nixon doesn't skim the
surface and depend on cliches
and slogans. He really argues
his case and hits the opposi-
ton with arguments that hurt
because they are convincing.
So far as political ability is

an average speed Of 607.8 miles
per hour. More recently, a trans.
Atlantic record flight to England
in 4 hours, "a minutes turned
in an average speed Of 650.s
miles per hour.
A 1,000-hour test program
saw speeds as high as 794 miles

the first Jet flight over the
North Pole.
The present production models
are powered by six General Elec-
trio J-47 turbojet engines OF
5000 pounds thrust each. This
compares with six 4.000-pound
engines which powered the first
experimental models. In addi-
ton to the six engines, the STRAIT
Iojet can be equipped with 80
rocket assist units to gain an
additional $4,000 pounds OF
thrust for take-offs with heavy
loads or on short run-ways
Range without refueling is listed
at more than 1000 miles. Oper-
iated by a three-man crew. the
Istratojet has a gross weight Of
more than 100000 pounds and
can carry more than 10 tons OF
bombs.

President Would Astonish Friends
BY Naming Choice of Successor

de Sapio is more than ever
sure that New York wants
Hartman. The political boss
who would not look beyond the
bounds Of that great State
with all its convention deie-
gates when he has a Governor
of his party to parade does
not exist, never has and never
will.
Former President Truman
has discovered that he can
not go back on an old friend
who served him well and
loyalty. A man who could be
loyal to the late Boss Pender-
CAST and Gilman Ed Pauley is
not going to boggle at a few
trif1es like his past kind words
for Adlai Stevenson. In Gov.
Hartman Mr.. Truman has Of
course a friend he can be proud
of.
Harold Stassen. currently
special assistant to the Presi-
dent on disarmament. says he
is willing to accept the Repub-
lican nomination If President
Eisenhower wishes it. The
politicians who regard that as
news could caucus in a tele-
phone booth.
The presidential candidacy
of Thomas E. Dewey has been
busted off. Mr.. Dewey is still
quite young but it is doubtful
if he can out-live all the peo-
pie who are determined that
he will not get another G. o. P.
nomination.
The search for dark horses
cast in the Eisenhower image
goes on.
