Alaska Delegates Accept COP
 Statehood Plank
By LeRoY LITTLE

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Alaska and Hawaii delegates to the Re- publican National Convention to- day shifted their statehood cam paign guns back to the congress sional battlefield.
 Their fight for immediate statehood" blanks in the COP platform was won here yesterday when delegates shouted approval of the party's 1856 platform.
 The platform called for imme- diate statehood for both territor ies, recognizing that adequate provision for defense require ments must be made in Alaska.
 Alaska delegates said they would like to have had plank calling for immediate statehood" and nothing else, but accepted the reservation for defense.
 Mrs. Joseph R. Harrington, the Hawaii delegate to Congress, said language of the combined Hawaii Alaska bill that died in House committee last year probably would be copied to get statehood bills rolling in Congress again as soon as possible.
 Mrs. Harrington advocated sep arate bills and said she anticipat- ed no political problem as in past sessions because both the Demo- crats and Republicans endorsed immediate statehood blanks for both territories in their 1856 plat forms.
 "This is the strongest statehood plank we have ever had" Mrs. Harrington said.

 Then, after the 82-year-old par ty elder left the platform amid echoing cheers, the Republican National Convention roared it's approval of such declaration of faith" and the GAP campaign platform of which it is a part.
 The declaration spells out COP aims as safeguarding free institu tions, maintaining world peace, and building dynamic prosperity at home.
 In his speech, Hoover told the delegates that:
 If you face the truth that we are in a critical battle to safe guard our nation and civilization then you will be guided step by step to restore the foundations of right thinking, or morals and faith turnout the world.
 Then you will issue as pure a note in as full a tone as that call to arms given by your political ancestors at your convention of 100 years ago-that America shall safeguard the freedom of men,"
 The delegates gave Hoover an affectionate five-minute ovation,

C of C Protests
 Leasing of Dental Office to U.S.P.H.S.

The Nome Chamber of Com merce has wired a protest to the directors of the MIMI Hospital at Philadelphia for the renting or leasing of the dental office space in the hospital to the US. Public Health Service.
 The US. Public Health Service is sending a dentist here to care for the clinic cases among needy native families, but he will not be permitted to provide dental care for those families able to pay for these services, or to the white population.
 The Chamber of Commerce, backed by city officials and the Rotary Club, it is reported, urged that in fairness to the entire community this office space be rented or leased to a dentist who can serve Nome and the rest of this area. Such a dentist is avail able, stated Chamber President Stan Morgan, and he will come to Nome if the office can be ob- tained.
 At the noon luncheon Tuesday the Chamber made plans for the meeting of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners here. A committee was appointed to take care of the matter, headed by Dewey Goodrich with Bob Blod gett of Teller assisting.
 The increasingly popular noon luncheons of the Chamber of Commerce brought out 20 mem bers yesterday and four guests: Edith Arnold, June Dunbar, Ruth McLain, and Barbara Ciemny, a new nurse for the MIMI Hospital.

Dewey Plugs for Eisenhower Nixon

record as vice president, which he called distinguished and de- voted"
 Dewey declared Eisenhower and Nixon inherited from the Democrats a "chaos in world af- fairs" and a "mess in Washing ton"
 Enlarging on his peace theme, Dewey said Eisenhower found, when he took office in 1853: war in Korea and Indochina, pro Communist leanings in oil-rich Iran, trouble in Trieste, a weak ened European defense alliance, Austria occupied, and Guatemala "a Russian outpost"
 "New spirit and skill" he said, ended the Korean War, "averted threatened catastrophe" in Iran, settled the Trieste issue, saved half of Indochina from conquest by the Chinese Communists, end ed the Austrian occupation, drove the Reds out of Guatemala, and shored up the Atlantic alliance by bringing West Germany into it. Each of these was an historic achievement for peace" Dewey said.

convention is to wind up.
 Eisenhower talked with Nixon by telephone.
 Hall said the President ex- pressed wishes of all Americans for the quick recovery of Nixon's father.
 A rule adopted yesterday barred nominations by exclamation. Hall said that under convention rules anyone could be nominated against Nixon and delegates were free to cast votes for others than Nixon even if Nixon's was the only name put before the conven- ton.
 A convention showdown on Harold E. Stassen's campaign to ditch Nixon remained possible.
 The mood of the delegates was such that only an outright expres- sion of preference for someone else would induce them to side track Nixon. And there was abso- iutely nothing to indicate Eisen- hover would do that.
 Eisenhower himself is certain to be renominated unanimously at the convention session late to- day 4:30 pm. Boring Standard Time). Immediately after that, the delegates will choose the vice presidential nominee.
 Stassen, on leave as the Presi- dents assistant on disarmament, asked permission yesterday to ad- dress the party convention today after it renominates Eisenhower and before the roll of states is called on the vice presidential nomination. There was consider able doubt he would get it.
 Stassen said that if he talks, he will be presenting the Presi- dents judgment, not my own" He said he will not drop his drive against Nixon unless he is con vinced he is going against Eisen- hower's wishes.

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Presi- dent Eisenhower, before his nom ination this afternoon, talked politics with COP National Chairman Leonard Hall. He said Vice President Nixon is still per fectly acceptable" as a running mate.
 Nixon himself had flown away to Whittier, Calif., where his IT. year-old father, Frank Nixon, was reported critically ill.
 What change this might make in plans of the Republican Ma tional Convention was for the mo- ment an unanswered question.
 The delegates to this Tooth an- niversary COP gathering were all set to renominate Nixon, and Hall said that for the moment, anyway, the convention would go ahead as planned.
 He said he couldn't say, how ever, whether the elder Nixon's illness would interfere with plans for the vice president to make an acceptance speech of his renom- ination tomorrow night when the

New Mining Law Most Significant Passed Since 1872

WASHINGTON, R-A law passed by the 24th Congress car ried probably the most signifi- cant change in the mining laws" since the first general mining laws of 1872, Rep. Engle D-Calif) said today.
 The law is the Multiple Sur face-Use Act, Engle said in a fur ther report on activities of the House Interior Committee, of which he is chairman.
 Put succinctly," he said, it operates to amend historic law so as to permit the use of the sur face and the subsurface of the same tracts of public lands for pre-patent prospecting and min ing activity at the same time that management and utilization of forestry products, forage crops, grazing, fish and wildlife, wilder ness, water, scenic and related resources go forward
 Its provisions" he added, twill also assure that existence of a mining claim cannot, prior to patenting, be used to block ac- cess to adjacent lands-all with out limiting or interfering with prospecting and mining activities on the claim proper"
 Among other important miner al legislation passed by the 34th Congress, Engle listed the Mining Claims Restoration Act. This opens to entry approximately sev- en million acres of public land, all in the west, which had been withdrawn for power develop ment.
 ''It's enactment is one more leg islative step in the drive to en- courage search for, and develop ment of, the strategic and critical domestic minerals and materials resources so vital to our econ omy,' Engle said.
