A straw vote at a Democratic

showed overwhelming support
for Adlai Stevenson as the 1860

At the same Democratic
event. Republican James A..

The straw vote and surprise
announcement came at a coun-Y

dent, Mrs. James H. Mann, near
Seneca. One thousand persons
attended.
Mr.. Stevenson won a total of
l42 votes and was followed by

Mr.. Buchanan, who said he
was not allowed to make his
announcement over the public
address system. had to be sat-
isfled with a bit of trickery
for the auction.
He presented a tightly
wrapped gift to be auctioned of
in the Democratic fund drive.
The gift was a large photo
graph of himself. Enclosed was
a note announcing his candi-
dacy.
Mr.. Buchanan said he did
not know who bought the pic

one paid $40 for it.

Mr.. johnson said teachers
can do "a great deal more in

Others on the convention

The Effect of Alaska

What had caused Congress to
act so swiftly after dallying so
long? Chiefly, of course, the ad-
mission of Alaska as the 49th
State last year.
There was an inevitability
about Hawaiian statehood in the
current Congress that made fur
Their resistance pointless. The
bloc of Southern Democrats
which had repeatedly held of
statehood proponents in the SEN
ate didn't even bother putting
up a fight this time, and the long
battle was over.
The final vote in the Senate was
rs TO is. in the House 1923 to SO.
While the outcome was any
thing but a showdown of forces.
it provided another illustration
of the waning power Of the South
ern coalition in the Senate. 1t
also dramatized a political de-
velopment of equal significance,
the slow shifting Of the balance OF
power in Congress toward the
West.
Hawaii's two new Senators. to-
gether with the two Alaskans
already seated, add four votes to
an expanding bloc of Western
Senators who already WELD great
er power than the entire South

Like a sudden elopement after
an embarrassingly long court
ship. the swift climax Of Ha-
waits long quest for statehood
last week caught both Honolulu
and Washington by surprise.
The bride. her hope chest long
since filled. had been waiting ra-
dainty at the altar for half a
century. The bans had been
posted a half dozen times but the
bridegroom always managed to
find a reason for postponing the
ceremony.
Last week the unpredictable
sutton, the Congress Of the United
States. proved that its intentions
had been honorable all along.
With an impetuosity BETTING an
aging but still gallant sutton, 1t
voted to admit Hawaii to the
Union as the 50th State.

territorial status and first be-
gan to work seriously for state
hood.

The Flag Problem

It will be several months before
Hawaii officially enters the Union,
a delay that may further confuse
the problem of adding a 50th star
to a flag that has not yet officially
acquired its 49th.
The 49th-star version of Old
Glory becomes official July 4. but
it is doubtful that this would give
Hawaii time enough to elect a
congressional delegation and new
governor. Her citizens must also
approve statehood by plebiscite,
though they cast their ballots two
to one in favor of joining the
Union 10 years ago.
Gov. William F. Quinn. who
will set the election date, has in
dicated he feels it would be mis-
take to push ahead too rapidly in
view of the Importance of the Of
fees at stake and the political
campaigns yet to be waged.
This may mean the 49-star flag
will survive officially for one year.
until July 4, 1860. A States star
is not added to the flag until the
first July 4 after its formal ad-
mission to the Union.

public policy.
Chancellor Adenauer of the
Bonn government and President
de Gaulle of France have been
particularly adamant on the
subject of firmness. The United
States, although apparently COM
mitted to a mo concession" pro-
gram. has nevertheless appeared
more willing to negotiate the
differences over Berlin than has
been the case in previous political
crises with the Communist bloc.
But the fourth power directly
involved in the Berlin crisis,
Britain, has displayed a strong
tendency toward "flexibility" and
negotiation. Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan. whose Conservative
government faces a general cleo
ton later this year, has been
described as anxious to avert a

traiis.n in the cold war. In some

The problem of continuing high

turning into one of WaShington'S
hottest political issues.

velopmentS:
. February unemployment. as

. The normally non-partiSan

Congress, splitting along parry
lines. issued sharply conflicting
majority and minority reports on
the nations economic employ

. The House Ways and Means
Committee rebuffed the Demo-
cratic leadership by voting to con-
tinue emergency unemployment
benefits for only three months,
instead of a full year.
With total labor force of over
81 million in the United States,
Unemployment of 25 million or
slightly more is considered nor

Slump-ridden industries, such as

The number of unemployed
workers has not dropped below

rean War. In the normal years
of 1955-57, it averaged 81 mil

A Bit of History

BY 1912 the United States was
casting a covetous eye on the is
land paradise, and President John
Tyler could say of the Hawaiian
government:
Its disposition apears to be just
and pacific. and it seems anxious
to improve the condition of it's
people by the introduction of
knowledge, of religious and moral
institutions, means of education.
and the arts of civilized life"
The idea of statehood first ap-
peared in 1854 as a CLEAN IN the
eye of President Franklin Pierce,
who drafted a treaty of anneXa-
ton that would have eventually
made Hawaii a State.

makers Of the United States,
Britain. France. and the Federal
Republic Of Germany have been
seeking a way to balance commit

Last week it was very apparent
that such q way has not yet been
found. There is an agreed-upon
commitment, indeed-that the
Western allies will not abandon
West Berlin. or permit without a
fight the forcible election of West
ern forces from the divided city.
But there was still obvious cleav-
age between the allies on just
what to do should the Communists

The Draft:

LET them be hewers Of wood

Joshua, tx. 81.
President Eisenhower turned to
a Biblical quotation last week to
point up the problems involved in
recruiting manpower for missile
age Army.
Dealing with the question at his
news conference, he declared:
To-day more than ever you

You cannot just take a man
who can just be newer of wood

Three out of 10 draft regis
trants are currently rejected for

reasons. The Army is the only
service using draftees - the Air
Force, the Navy and the Marines
are filling their present needs with
volunteers.
With the decline in the size of
the armed forces. the need for
draftees has tapered off. More
and more draft-age youths will
pass through the 18-to-26 age
bracket without entering military
service-if they do not volunteer

of escaping the draft.

Memorandum: On the status Of
negotiations on discontinuance of
nuclear tests now being held in
Geneva:
Points Of Disagreement
At the beginning Of the fifth
month, the conference is dead
locked on certain specific points.
These include:
Stating: United States and
United Kingdom want maximum
of inspection efficacy, feel that
this requires inspection by oppo-
sites or by neutrals. They want
West to inspect in Russia, and are
willing to have Russia inspect here.
Soviets, on the other hand, want
the inspection process to be in the
hands of nationals of the host
country. say they fear espionage
if non-Russians inspect in Russia.
They have made a concession:
They are willing to accept four or
five outside controllers" at each
inspection post, whom will pas
sively observe inspection process.
On-site inspection: Soviets in
sist that mobile teams to conduct
on-site inspection when inspec-
ton posts detect an event which
might be a nuclear explosion
should be dispatched only on con-
currence of all three nuclear pow
ers. West insists that inspectors
be free to visit sites whenever
they think necessary.
Composition Of control body:
West proposes seven members:
United States, USSR. United
Kingdom and four others to be
selected by the parties to the
agreement. Soviets insist on
equal representation from the two
sides: Three seats to West, three
to the Soviet bloc, one neutral.
Differences which have not yet
arisen: These include arrange
ments for inspection outside ter
ritory of signatories, such as Red
China or France. Soviet insist
ence on inclusion of France would
wreck the negotiations. France
will insist on her right to test
when she can.
Rosic Soviet Attitudes
An analysis Of the negotiations
Indicates that there are certain
basic Soviet attitudes which I'M
derline these disagreementS:
/. Desire to maintain highest
degree of insulation of Soviet So
ciety.
Under its totalitarian system.
the Soviet has been able to MAIN
tain a much higher degree of mill
tary secrecy than the West. This
