secretary. Davis made known his acceptance in a statement, saying:
 "As fellow Nebraskan I con- graduate Secretary Seaton. The choice of a Cabinet officer is a very personal thing to the Presi- dent and it is only natural that he turn to his close associates in a matter involving such a personal relationship"
 Earlier, Sen. Dworshak R-Ida- ho), who had been backing Davis for the secretaryship, had predict ed Davis would probably resign.
 Ut would be unfair to the pub lie lands states of the west to have both top Interior places filled from one state," Dworshak said.
 Fine. Fair Gentleman
 Chairman Murray O-Mont, of the Interior Committee, which will pass upon the appointment, lauded Seaton as "a fine, fair gentleman" and said he sees no present need to hold hearings on the nomination.
 Seaton served in the Senate for about a year in 1951-52. Appoint ed to the Senate after the death of Kenneth s. Wherry, Seaton did not seek election.
 Neuberger said "It is indeed fortunate the President has chosen to select a secretary not connected with McKay's policies" He said Eisenhower would have picked Davis for the Cabinet post if the President approved of the Mo Kay policies"
 Morse called Seaton "a fine public servant" adding: "Altho he and 1 do not always agree on natural resource policies, l have a very high personal regard for him"

Fire At Moto
 Residence Causes Considerable Loss

A stubborn fire in an upstairs bedroom of the Taylor Moto resi- dence on C Street, just west of the old Methodist parsonage, caused approximately a thousand dollars damage Monday evening at about 6 o'clock
 Due to a frozen fire main on 1st Ave. w, hoses had to be hooked up from lst Ave. and Division St. which delayed the arrival of the water.
 The family is reported to have been home but did not discover the fire until smoke was detected on the first floor.
 A small child playing with matches is believed to have been the cause of the fire. The family, which includes seven children, was able to make up sleeping quarters in the kitchen and bath which were at the rear of the main floor and not Water-soaked like the rest of the house
 Neighbors took the smallest of the children into their home. The older children are reported to have lost all their clothing.
 Driver of one vehicle which drove over a fire hose during the fire was fined $75 in city court.

 Swift Senate confirmation ap- peared assured today for the nom- ination. Seaton has been on the White House staff as deputy as sistant to Eisenhower in charge of administrative affairs.
 His selection for the Cabinet post occaSioned some surprise. Fourteen western Republican sen- ators had publicly backed Under Secretary of the Interior Clarence A. Davis to succeed Douglas Me Kay. Mckay resigned April Is to run for the Senate against Sen. Morse D-Ore).
 Mckay Policies 'Repudiated'
 lMorse'S colleague, Sen. Neu- berger D-Ore), contended Eisen- hover had "repudiated the poli- cies of ex-Secretary Mckay" by going outside "the discredited In- terior Department to obtain a new head"

Statehood Committee Will Provide
 2 Provisional Senators, Representative

ANCHORAGE, R-The Alaska Statehood Committee will provide two provisional senators and one representative with salaries pend ing action by the Territorial Leg islature, the Executive Board has decided here.
 The two senators and one rep resentative to be elected at the general election in October will receive actual travel expenses to Washington plus $35 a day for subsistence and expenses.
 Payment will take effect Jan. l and will continue for not more than 50 days. The legislature is expected to meet and make the necessary appropriation in the meantime.
 Time 10 Select Candidates
 The Executive Boards action was taken to Ill tne interim pe- tween the opening of Congress and the time when the legislature meets, has time to organize and take action.

favors what Eisenhower terms a partnership policy under which local, private and public interests join with the federal government in hydroelectric power projects.
 Asked specifically if he intends to carry on McKay's policies in the Interior Department, Seaton replied:
 Partnership Policy
 "I can't speak specifically to that. But, so far as the Eisenhower power policy and water policy are concerned, I plan to carry them on. That includes partnership-I think it makes sense and pro gress.
 Many Democrats have criticized administration power policies as being unduly favorable to private utilities.
 Davis announced today he will stay on the job under Seaton, al- though he previously had told as- sociates he would not remain if someone else were chosen for the Cabinet post.
 Davis Will Continue
