With statehood, Hawaii will
bid a fond farewell to Palmyra
Island.
The statehood bill passed by
Congress requires the voters
of Hawaii to accept the exclu-
sion of Palmyra If they want
to become the 50th State. There
is a story behind this.
Palmyra tiny speck on the
map 900 miles south Of Homo
lulu-is actually a group of So
little coral atolls arranged in a
rough oval shape surrounding
two or three lagoons. The
biggest islet is 288 acres: the
smallest. less than one acre.
1t is uninhabited. but habitable.
Although not a part of the
Hawaiian archipelago. Pal
myra has the distinction of
having been adjudged by the
Supreme Court to be part Of
Territory of Hawaii.
Leslie Fullard-Leo proved in
court that he owned Palmyra
- named for the American
ship that discovered it in 1902.
Although he was dead when
the final decision came down
in 1947. his family and heirs
collected 100000 damages
from the Navy for taking 1t
over Just before World War II,
cutting down coconut trees,
infesting it with rats and 9TH

The Navy, which didn't
think anybody owned it, used

put up docks and concrete
Notifications. built an airSerip
in the main island and sea-
plane ramps.
Mr.. Fullard-Leo proved to
the Supreme Court that the
King Of Hawaii had annexed
Palmyra to his kingdom in
1862. II it was part of the
kingdom, the court reasoned.
it became a part Of the Terri
tory of Hawaii when the king
dom was annexed to the United
States in 1898.
The Hawaii land court in
1912 issued title to Palmyra to
Henry E. Cooper. a former
Hawaii judge. Mr.. Fullard-
Leo, an American citizen.
bought 1t from MIR. Cooper
in 1922.
At a hearing on a previous
Hawaii statehood bill in 1858,
Senator Anderson, Democrat Of
New Mexico, looked at a map
and wondered aloud what
justification there could be for
including Palmyra so far
separated from the other is
lands-in the State of Hawaii.
Senator Anderson addressed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-03-14

a letter to Leslie Fullard-Leo.
jr.. of Honolulu, son and prin-
cipal heir to his fathers estate,
asking a series of probing
questions which Mr.. Fullard-
Leo somehow felt reflected upon
the honor of his family.
While still a little hot under
the collar, Mr. Fullard-Leo re-
piled to the questions in a
letter, which he later ackowl-
edged in a face-to-face meeting
with Senator Anderson might
have been insulting.
Since then, every statehood
bill introduced for Hawaii. in
GLIDING the one that awaits
President Eisenhower's sigma
ture, has defined the boundary
of the new State aS-all OF
the territory of Hawaii, except
Palmyra.
Once Mr.. Eisenhower signs
the bill. the exact status Of
Palmyra will become subject to
legal Interpretation. Lawyers
agree, however, that there is a
body of law-possibly admi-
rally law-which will cover any
crimes that might be COM
mitted there. Palmyra remains
American soil.
For sentimental reasons If
none other, it is considered
likely that Hawaii's future Sem
ators will offer legislation some
day soon to restore Palmyra to
the new State.

MOVE LAUNCHED
BY BRITISH MPs
TO CUT HOT AIR

LONDON, (AP).-Mem-
bers of Britain's Parlia-
ment have been advised to
cut down on the hot air.
The recommendation
came from a committee
set up in October to find
ways Of streamlining pro-
cedure in the worlds oldest
legislative body.
The committee reported
many speeches could be
made shorter to the ad-
vantage Of all members"
The committee puts for
ward numerous suggestions
for saving time in the
House of Commons.
One would set aside
one hour in big debates
to be used for five-minute
"quickie" speeches. Rank
and file members, who are
often doomed to sit in
silence, welcomed this pro-
poSal.
