Young Lady Hawaiian
 Legislator Looks Forward To Seat In US. Congress

WASHINGTON, tR - Pa y Mink, 29--year-old member of the Hawaii legislature, is looking forward to the day when she can run for a seat in Congress.
 Mrs. Mink, newcomer to politics, is in Washington for three days of meetings in her new role as vice president of the Young Democratic Clubs.
 Elected to the Hawaii house of representatives in her first cam paign two years ago, Mrs. Mink said in an interview she will run for the Hawaii senate this year.
 After that?
 "Well, some day I would like to be in the Congress of the United States" she said.
 Before that can happen, Ha- waii will have to be admitted to the union as a state.
 Mrs. Mink, mother of a Swear old daughter, is all for that.
 "We have been brought up right through school in constant hope of statehood" she said. And still we're only half citizens. It's all very discouraging. The people of the Far East passing through call us colony-and we just hate that"

Two Soviet Freighters
 Damaged In Pacific Storm To Repair at Midway Is.

HONOLULU, R - The first two Soviet Russian ships to call at Midway Island since it be- came an American base were ex- pected there Monday.
 The grain steamers Gen. Pan- filov and Odessa, bound for Vlad- ivostok from Vancouver. B. C., headed there after the Navy oiler Ashtabula reached them Friday night. They were 400 miles north west of Midway, where the Navy is building highly classified early warning air patrol wing base.
 The Ashtabula reported the Panfilov's superstructure was damaged by a North Pacific storm which is fading away, and some of her lifeboats were lost but the Panfilov's master said he was not in need of help so the Ashtabula was released.
 The Navy on Thursday granted special permission for the two Soviet vessels and a British freighter to put in at Midway for refuge and repairs. It sent the Ashtabula and the Coast Guard sent the Cutter Boring Strait to aid.
 The two Russian vessels and the British freighter reported they were low on supplies and water after battling the storm.

Comes The Revolution?


 MOSCOW, R - The Soviet press, which long has derided the American comic strips as degrad- ing and uncultured, made a mild attempt today at one of it's own.
 The semiweekly Moscow News came out with four-pane strip showing a youth jumping wooden fence to escape a puppy only to land in a yard where there is a huge, ferocious-looking dog.
 The strips moral tone seemed unlikely to harm Soviet youth.

Stassen Says It's Possible For US. and Russia To Agree On Disarmament

PHILADELPHIA, R-It should be possible for the United States and Russia to agree on gradual disarmament, Harold E. Stassen, special assistant to President Eli senhower, said here.
 Stassen told the World Affairs Council Youth Forum that "even though there are great differ ences between nations there is in fact mutual interest in not hav- ing war"
 "Thus," he said, Fit should be possible through a persistent and intelligent approach from both sides to reach agreement on the step-by-step opening up of in spection and the gradual reduc- tion of armaments."
 He said Russia's earth satellites and missile advances have made the world realize the importance of agreement leading to a safe guarded disarmament.
 Tt is clear" added the Presi- dents disarmament advisor, "that modern war would result in a vast net loss to both sides"

PRIMARY ELECTION
(Continued From Page Onel

Continued From Page One) ocratic candidates for Governor, Secretary and Congress.
 The interest centers on the three-way race for Governor.
 William Egan of Valdez, a member of the official Tennessee lobby for statehood before Con- gress, is favored to get the nod.
 But his two opponents = Vic Rivers of Anchorage, President of the last Territorial Senate, and Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams - have waged energetic and effec- tive campaigns.
 Another close race is the battle for the Democratic nod as a can didate for the U. s. House. Oppos- ing eah other are Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks, another Tennessee Plan delegate and Raymond Hummer of Achorage, former Democratic National Committee man. The outcome is regarded as a tossup.
 Territorial Treasurer Hugh J. Wade of Juneau, and Richard J. Greuel, former Speaker of the Territorial House from Fair banks, have been locked in a tight campaign for the Demo- cratic nomination as Secretary of State.
 That race also rates as a tossup.
 The polls will be open tomor- row from 8 am. to p.m., local time, throughout Alaska. Election day is legal holiday in the Ter ritory, and all Territorial offices will be closed.
 For the first time, 19 and 2O- year-old residents will be voting. More than 25,OOO Alaskans are ex- pected to vote in the election.

column on the subject of
visiting cards. many ques-
tions have come in asking
Just what the calling pro-
cedure is in Washington.
The first and most i'm
portant thing to remember
is that while there are many
who scoff at what they term
1.-The empty gesture" of leav-
ing cards. 1t is still consid-
cred proper that it be done.
Particularly is this true when
calling upon an official. 1t
is showing a courteous re-
spect for the position he
holds.
Due to the growth of our
Government and Washing
tons ever-eXpanding popu-
lation, it has been necessary
in recent years to modify
some of the traditional rules
governing the paying of the
courtesy call. Common sense
has had to step in and new
rules have been adopted to
fit the background of the
Nations Capital today.
Customs Fade
One old custom that has
faded from the scene is the
formal observance of the
traditional days at home"
formerly held by officials
wives. Time was when Mon
day was the day to call upon
the Chief Justice of the
United States and the aSSo-
ciate justices of the Supreme
Court; Tuesday upon mem
bers Of the House of Repre-
sentatives; Wednesday was
for cabinet hoSteSses and the
Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives; Thursday, the
members of the Senate and
Friday the members of the
foreign missions in this
country.
For instance. it was conSid-
cred incorrect to leave cards
on a cabinet official and his
wife on any day except
Wednesday. Perhaps one
might live next door to a
Senator, but good form die
tated that one must return
again on Thursday to make
that call! 1t is easy to see
why this procedure has been
dropped.
Today, it is perfectly
proper to leave cards on any
afternoon, upon any official,
regardless of the branch of
the Government he repre-
sentS. This also holds true
when calling upon members
of the diplomatic corps. The
calls should be made between
the hours of three and six.
No Longer
While, as I say, the rigid
calling procedure of years
past is no longer observed, it
is still considered obligatory,
particularly for those in off,
cial life, to leave cards land
now is the time to START
once a year upon the follow
ing officials and their wives:
The President, the Vice Pres
ident. the Chief Justice, the
Speaker, Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court, and
members of the Cabinet. 1t is
up to the individual whether
or not cards be left upon
those in the diplomatic
corps.
The leaving of cards for
those not in official life is
entirely up to the individual.
Should he wish to pay his
respects to those ranking
high in our Government, it
is perfectly proper that he
does so.
1t is to be remembered that
when calling, a woman leaves
one card for each lady in
the house; never, under any
circumstances, does she leave
her card upon a man. For
example: T calling at the
White House, a married
woman would leave one of
her cards for Mrs. Eisen-
hover, and two of her hus-
bands cardS-one for the
President and one for his
wife,

proper. I am a very long way
from home, so none of my
family can be present. We

and a few close friends of
mine attending. In these
circumstances. must I send
regular invitations to those
attending, and formal an
nouncements to my friends
back home? Also, is a re-
ception called for?
Miss L. r. G.
Answer would suggest
sending a regular, formal in
vitation to everyone. While
you may know that those
friends back home cannot
come. sending them an in
vitation is perfectly proper.

Woman Gets
1O-Year Term

A woman, who previously had
served time for narcotic law
violation, was sentenced yes
terday by Federal Judge David
A. Pine to a straight prison
term of 10 years on narcotic
charges.
She is Mrs. Marie Saunders,
81, of the 1000 block of South
Carolina avenue Sc. Judge
Pine gave her 10 years each on
charges of sale and facilitating
the sale and concealment of a
narcotic and five years for lille
gal possession. The judge then
ordered the sentences on the
several counts to run concur
rently.
Mrs. Saunders was given the
time under a law which makes
no provision for parole after a
person has served a third of
the time. She had been con-
victed by a Jury in the U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia.
James K. Phelps, SO, of the
$500 block of Piney Branch
road, Silver Spring, Md. was
sentenced to serve from two to
six years for larceny after trust
of $3.50 in 1856 while serving
as cashier and bookkeeper for
the Abbott Refrigeration Co.
Sentence was imposed by Judge
Curran. Phelps had pleaded
guilty to the charge. Several
other charges against Phelps
were dismissed.

Congress Gets
Hot Potato on
~
German Assets
BY the Associated Press

The Eisenhower administra-
ton has dropped a hot potato
in Congress lap-a proposal to
use 500 million in United
States money to return some
war-seized German assets.
The long-awaited administra-
ton formula for settling the
controversy was sent to Capitol
Hill yesterday. 1t was sure to
stir more controversy there.
Complaints may come from
Japan. which was left out of
the suggested plan. Other OBJ
jections are certain to come
from Americans with war
claims against Japan. They,
too. were left out.
Three Reasons Advanced
The administration. argued
its case on three major
grounds: Available money, a
need for speed in concluding
settlement Of claims and a need
to strengthen our ties of
friendship" with West Ger
many.
Leaving it to Congress to I'LL
in details, the administration
proposed a $183 million fund.
1t would be made up of a 500
million appropriation plus $83
million available in seized for
eign assets already turned into
cash. It would be distributed
this way:
/. An estimated 500 million
to all Americans with legitimate
claims against Germany. These
include mistreated war pris-
oners and Americans whose
lives or property suffered at
the hands of the Nazis.
2. About $50 million in an
equitable monetary return"
to individual former owners of
German property up to $4,000
seized by the Federal Govern
ment in the United States
during World War II.
More Funds Expected
3. The balance. S33 million
Ur more. spread out on a pro-
rata basis among other former
owners of such property. These
include big corporations as
well as individuals with in
terests bigger than $4,000.
In addition to the $l83 mil
lion kitty, the administration
contemplated that ultimately
more money would be avail
able from frozen foreign assets.
These total $179 million, the
biggest part of which is the
500 million General Aniline
e. Film Corp. The frozen prop
erty is tied up in court suits.
The proposal was sent by
the State Department to the
Senate Judiciary Committee
and the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee.
