A. Morton Thomas, of Bethes-

Wilbur Garrett, president of the

Another
Harmony
Try Due

County Democrats striving for
party harmony will try to strike
a balanced note when they meet
this Saturday to decide how to
endorse candidates for upcom-
ing primary elections.
A similar meeting hit a snag
last Saturday when factions of
the party lined up opposite each
other. Organization Democrats,
led by f. Brooke Lee, backed
resolution offered by Joseph
Matthias to endorse a slate of can
didates for state office.
Opposing m m b ers of the
Caucus group, however, baked at
backing such slate without first
talking to precinct voters whom
they represented. They we're in
general accord, however, with the
slate proposed by Matthias.
1t included J. Willard Tawes
for Governor, Thomas D'Ales-
andre for US. Senator, G. Ferdin-
and Sybert for Attorney General,
and Louis L. Goldstein for Comp
troller.
Caucus members sniped verb
ally at the Matthias proposal. Mrs.
Margaret c. Schweinhaut,
Caucus leader, urged Lee and
Matthias not to force the issue.
We're not ready yet
William Austin, also with the
Caucus, said, Don't fire gun
in the roundhouse- it will hit a
lot Of people and ricochet down
through November.
Remember" he said to Lee,
there are three pistols in this
scrap caucus, non-caucus and
those who don't give a damn
about either"
Lee then rose and, in seeming
Difference to the Caucus, proposed
a 10-minute recess in which a
compromise might be worked out.
Austin Immediately asked that
the motion be tabled and Lee
demanded that the precinct lead
ers be polled. The vote was 1852
against tabling with four pre-
cincts absent.
Lee then proposed that the
meeting be recessed until this
Saturday, which action carried
unanimously.

PROS AND CONS OF STATEHOOD
BY WILLIAM ToBIN

JUNEAU, LR -- Advocates and opponents of Alaska statehood, who seldom see eye-to-eye, stood on common ground in the vast territory today.
 With uncommon agreement, they viewed a preliminary vote on the Alaska statehood bill in Congress yesterday as another in a long series of legislative moves that over the years have con- tinued territorial status.
 "All this is window dressing, " said John Manders, an Anchorage lawyer who is the most out spoken resident critic of state hood. Congress isn't going to give us statehood. All this talk is for the benefit of the folks back home"
 His comments followed House vote, 144-1O6, to strike the en- acting clause from the 1858 ad- mission bill that would make Alaska the 49th state.
 Deletion of the enactment clause would have been fatal to to bill.
 q hate to see a bill like this defeated by parliamentary chi canery," said Robert Ziegler ot Ketchikan, a member of the ter ritorial legislature and support CT of the statehood movement We've been through such maneu- vers many times before-this is nothing new"
 The administrations strongest advocate of immediate statehood, Interior Secretary Fred A. Sea ton, was near the end of a seven day trip in Alaska when the House vote came yesterday.
 q most earnestly hope the action will be reversed on a roll call, 'Seaton said, land that the House will get about the business of passing this bill"
 Alaska's biggest push for state hood in it's 90-year history as a U. $. possession has been made in the last IT months.

Emily Boucher Attends U. of A. Graduation EnrOute From Seattle

Mrs. Emily Boucher, accom- panied by her son Rodney, re- turned from Seattle this morn ing where they have been with Antonio Polet who has been critically i'll at the Swedish Hos pital. They report he is much better.
 They stopped in Fairbanks en- route home to attend the U. of Alaska commencement exercises where Sec. of Interior Fred Seaton gave the commencement address stating that this would probably be the last group to graduate from Alaska as a ter ritory.
 He lauded three outstanding leaders of the university: James Wickersham, Charles Bunnell and Ernest Patty for their achieve ments in higher education for the territory.
 He also called attention to the fact that many of the territories which became states had no col leges when admitted to the union.

President Plugs
 For Statehood For Alaska and Hawaii

WASHINGTON, R - Presi- dent Eisenhower put in a new plug today for statehood for both Alaska and Hawaii.
 Answering news conference questions, the President said he thinks both the Republicans and the Democrats in Congress should honor party pledges and vote both territories into the union.
 He npted that both platforms of the major parties have pledged support for statehood for the ter ritorieS.
 As far as he is concerned, Eisenhower said he did not, in 1852 or 1856, accept the Repub- lican Presidential nomination un- til he could see the platform of his party and be sure that he approved it.
 Since both parties have urged statehood, he said they should carry out the pledges.
 Eisenhower added he had rec commended statehood in his state of the union messages and hao instructed his Jason officers tc point out his position to mem bers of Cngress.

Navy Moon Falls To Earth After 1000 Mile Flight

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, R- Navy scientists searched tireless- ly today for a technical "bug' that brought their second bas- ketball-sized satellite plunging to earth after a brief flight into space.
 Blasted aloft by the Vanguard rocket shortly before midnight, the 2O-inch ball flew 2,000 miles out in an arc-like course, then hurtled back into atmosphere.
 For the moment the Navy was unable to say what caused the satellite to fall after what ap- peared to be perfect launching toward an orbit around the earth.
 Meager information radioed back by the satellite before it went silent eventually may tell why it wound up just like the first basketball "moon"-at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
 Only a few flaming fragments may have hit the sea however.
 Tn all likelihood, said Dr. Rish- ard w. Porter, chairman of the Vanguard satellite panel, most o1 the satellite was consumed by friction heat in it's dive to ob- liViOn.

House Democrats Accuse Morningside Owners of Misuse of Hospital Money

WASHINGTON LR - A Demo- cratic-controlled House Commit tee today accused a Portland, Ore, hospital of having mis- treated mental patients while it's owner used hospital money to line his own pockets.
 The Government Operations Committees Republican minority discounted the Democratic charges as raking over old coals. Act ually, the COP group said, there have been great improvements at the hospital due to Interior De- partment efforts since 1853.
 At issue was an inquiry into the Morningside Hospital which had long been under Interior Department contract to care for the mentally i'll from Alaska.
 The Democratic majority said that until congressional investi- gations started in 1855 the hos pital was guilty of wholly un- justifiable outright mistreat- ment and abuse" of patients.

House Committee Extends Corporate, Income Taxes At Present Levels

WASHINGTON, R - A one year extension of corporate in come and excise taxes at present rates was voted today by the House Ways and Means Commit tee.
 The tax extension bill was sent to the House for probable action next week by 21-2 vote.
 The committee overwhelmingly rejected proposal to give auto makers special tax relief.
 A 1912 vote turned down an amendment to permit the present 10 per cent excise tax on new automobiles to drop to per cent July 1.

They said the mentally sick did not have enough trained per sons to look after them, were given poor food, were made to work, and were given dangerous medical treatments that killed some of them.
 As for the hospital owner, the committee majority said they have found evidence "abundantly clear that MT. Wayne Coe !. has, throughout the period under investigation. been motivated in his operations primarily by de- sire for the highest possible profits rather than by desire to provide adequate care for the patients entrusted to the com pany."
 The Republican minority ques- toned the majority's competence to criticize Morningside's medical practices. They said the Ameri- can Psychiatric Assn. rated Morningside as an accredited hos nita1"

Eisenhower Says He Always Liked de Gaulle

WASHINGTON, R - Presi- dent Eisenhower said today he happens to be one of the people who likes Gen. Charles de Gaulle.
 Eisenhower told his news con- ference that because of the crisis in France and elsewhere he did not intend to discuss the French situation, in which de Gaulle appears likely to take govern ment control.
 However, a reporter recalled that Eisenhower had dealt with de Gaulle when the later was head of free French forces dur ing World War II.
 The reporter asked if Eisen- hover could give his personal opinion of de Gaulle without reference to the political situa- ton in France.
 Eisenhower replied that he happens to be one of those people who like de Gaulle. He said he and the French general have had long and friendly re- lations.
