Alaska, which so long has
been knocking wistfully on
the door, appears about to be
brought at last into the
Union Of the States.
There are indications that
the Senate is going to change
its mind-a heavy. convul-
sive process in itself-and
put Alaska's star into the
flag as its 49th. The House
already has voted to do so.
This prospective extern
sion Of the continental United
States to the hard, icy neigh
Dor of the Soviet Union no
doubt will have debatable
strategic meanings.
It's already visible, here
and-now political signifi-
canoe is the point of this
piece. For what is unfold
ing as the Union expands
northward is q Quickening
rear-march Of the deep,
Southerners.
As recently as q year ago
there would have been only
the barest possibility that
any Alaskan statehood bill
could pass the Senate in any
circumstances. There would
have been no possibility
whatever Of passage without
a violent Southern fllibuster,
or a time-killing maneuver
to prevent q vote that might
hardly have been worth the
cost.
But this time. there almost
certainly is not going to be
any real Southern filibuster.
The more traditional South
erners already have put their
heads together. They have
gloomily concluded that they
cannot throw in any about
attack against what now
seems to be the manifest
destiny Of the Alaskans to
have o State capitol.

DORIS FLEESON
Growth of Staff Seen Increasing Power
To Interfere in Government Activities

How indispensable really is
Sherman Adams? Or is that
presidential contention only
another spent rocket, like the
Adams reputation for flint.
like integrity"2
One thing is certain. Adams
has built an impressive White
House empire, responsible TO
him, since early 1883.
President Truman listed II
White House secretaries and
administrative assistants.
President Eisenhower lists as,
including special advisers.
White House employment in
1858 began at l40; it is now
just under 400.
The costs have risen In pro-
portion. The presidency alone
has climbed from SIG million
In 1853 to an expected $3.4
million this year. When all
the bureaus councils, special
advisers and White House
maintenance are added in,
the 1858 total of SIS million
rises to $l1.5 million in 1858.
With so many men and
so much money, Adams Is
really in a position to inter-
fere in Government opera
tons. He can not only give
orders and suggestions, he
can see that they are carried
out.
Early in the administration,
Adams moved to shield the
intense activity in his office
and the possible lack of 1t
in the Presidents by having
. wall built in the rear Of the
executive anteroom. Where
it had been more or less pos
sible to see who went in and
out Of the key offices-includ-
ing the President's-the wall
hides from view all but Of
fetal callers.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-06-20

But members Of Congress
quickly brought back the word
that Adams was the clearing
house. a trend intensified
following the Presidents
illness.
Yet the even greater in
reference by the White
House in all manner of
Government activities became
noticeable. Nor could as
Sistants altogether refrain
from clarifying their impor-
lance by various descriptions
Of Just what they did TO
spare the President.
They made up "agendas."
They followed through" A
kind Of climax was revealed
in last weeks Wall Street
Journal, which described how
cabinet members are re-
hearsed by White House
staffers on how TO give their
reports better and more sue
cinctly at cabinet meetings.
All these people have to
report to somebody. 1t is in
keeping with the Adams
character as it has suddenly
unfolded in the Harris sub
committee spotlight that he
has enjoyed having them re-
port TO him.
Perhaps that is in part
why he made his "imprudent"
mistakes, Politics played in
stinctively is often inefficient,
but II rarely is victimized by
any such transient appear
ance Of absolute power: 1t
remembers that its sources
are grounded in human falli-
bility.

Solid South Thuws Toward Alaska

they foresaw, would open the
way to a gradual chipping. a
slow assuring, Of the old
Southern political monolith
that for nearly a century had
held an ultimate veto simply
by reason Of its utter unity
Of purpose and action.
The alliance of the new
South and the West sensed,
in short, that a historic OPP
portunity had come. This
was the opportunity to begin
to bring the South, with all
its acknowledging ideas
but also with all its political
grace and skill, back into the
United States Of America.
Thus, the story now comes
up to date. For Alaska's fore
Swallowed victory is an in
stance of the movement for
ward of the new South and
the falling backward Of the
old, obstructionist South.
Having found through the
civil rights accommodation
a means for doing business
perfectly decent business
with the Southern moderates.
the Western liberals and var
ious more-or-less liberals
have found. too, a means for
progressively isolating the
Southern ultra conservatives.
The existence of this new
point of reasonable contact
is proving very useful in 9TH
err ways. For an illustration,
influential Alaskans have pri-
vately indicated to the mod
crates a reasSuring belief
that If Alaska does indeed
become a State it will not
straightway send two extrem-
list Senators here.
This has helped to weaken
opposition to Alaskan state
hood. Most Of all, however,
the new attitude has become
possible because Southern
leadership is in q phase Of a
changing of the guard from
the old to the new.

Khrushchev's New Face Feared Likely
To Spark Other Fires in Coming Months

The rapidly deterioratlng
international situation and
the increased tension be-
tween the UsSR and the free
world are being obscured at
home by the Sherman Adams
affair.
The Adams case Is. Of
course, domestically impor-
tant since II reflects on the
integrity Of the second most
powerful man In the country.
II also places the Republican
Party In serious jeopardy.
The new international de-
velopments. however, are
showing the easy going"
Khrushchev as an individual
more determined and more
ruthless than Stain. His
new face" and his recent
activities have prompted
policy-makers In Washington
and the other free-world
capitals TO fear that he may
spark serious fires In the
months or weeks to come.
Those who thought talk
ing TO Khrushchev might re-
lax international tensions are
taking a second reading now.
They have come TO the con-
clusion that the more we
show ourselves willing TO play
along with the bloodthirsty
Soviet dictator the more ex-
acting and ruthless he be-
comes.
The execution OF Imre
Macy. q hero Of the Hungar-
ian revolution, is considered
in informed quarters as an
other slap In the face Of the
free world. According to these
sources the former Premier
was executed some time ago
and his official murder was
kept secret. The present Hun
garian leader, Janos Kadar,
was questioned a few months
ago by foreign newsmen on
Mays whereabouts. He re-
piled that Macy was resting
quietly in the Tatra Noun
tainS. Then he added that he
would not discuss further this
"old case" 1t is believed that
Macy was already dead when
Khrushchev's Hungarian pup
pet talked to the correspond
ents.
The Macy case is impor-
tant not only because it shows
that the bloody terror regime
has been reinstated in the
Communist world but also
because 1t indicates that the
Soviet dictator has decided to

Western Liberals Credited With Aiding
Senate Change, First on Civil Rights Bill

What has so altered the
outlook. In so short a time?
The answer is that most Of
the Southerners themselves
their basic attitudes, their
basic understanding Of their
own power limitations-~have
greatly altered.
This process, with its i'm
mense implications for the
future. began last summer In
the great debate over civil
rights. Then, the more mod
ern Southerners at first
agreed to examine-and at
length agreed to grant-Fed-
eral enforcing powers in this
field.
Though these powers were

It is inconceivable that the
