NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Thursday, December 7, 1950 THE STATEHOOD CAMPAIGN IN THE STATES There is much in the testimony of several sen- ators in the Congressional Record of November 28, regarding statehood for Alaska that we would like to publish, about twenty pages, to tell the truth. And we would like to print it all. There is a lot of able refutation of most of the elaims of the statehood proponents. An indication of how the territorial statehood pro- ponents have worked not only in Alaska and Hawaii, but throlighout the nation, is told, briefly, in this paragraph {rom Senator Stennis’ testimony: “Mr. Pre nt, I had the experience lately of receiving a grcat many letters from Mississ favor of statehood for Alaska and Hawal received communications from civic clubs in my State favoring statehood for both. Finally, one day, I took time enough to write to 12 of these people whom I personally knew. I gave them something about the I gave them something of an outline of what “Of the 12, responded dire two of them thought, 11 responded. As I remember, nine ¢ that they had changed their minds; said. ‘It looks different from what I and so far as I am concerned.’ The twelftt man did This fall I took occasion to explain briefly in several places. The people were amazed when they found the physical facts with reference to Alaska and that in that great area only a small portion of it was privately owned, and very little of it even charted or surveyed. They were amazed. I have not since received a single reso- lution nor one letter further in favor of the proposal. I do not believe there is any doubt as to what the verdict of the American people would be, once the facts were made known. “I raise this question: It is said here that state- hood for Alaska and Hawaii is in the party platforms. It is, just as it was in the resolutions adopted by civic clubs. Mr. President, many members of those clubs do you suppose ever heard the subject debated? How many participated in the discussions when those party platforms were being written? How many gates had the explained to them and were told what it would mean to bring these Territories into the Union. ... I am not criticizing anyone . We know how those things are done, and how resolutions and platforms are written. “A great campaign was under way, and I think it has been conducted on a rather high plane. That campaign has been going on throughout the United Statas, through the civic clubs . . . So far as I know, wrongful tactics have not been resorted to, or any- think of that kind ... But there has been a very smooth campaign going on and I have not heard of a civic club that adopted resolutions that had both sides of this question explained to them. I believe the campaign has proceeded throughout the nation, but the matter has not been expained to the people.” Mr. Stennis’ observations are correct. There has been a well organized campaign in the United States to foster statehood for Alaska and it has been con- ducted through a number of civic organizations, amonz them the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. This latter organization, whose membership in- cludes women’s clubs throughout the United States, adopted a resolution urging passage of statehood leg- islation for Alaska and Hawaii. It further appealed to its members to write and telegraph their Con- gressmen on behalf of the statehood bills. This is but one instance showing how the state- hood proponents have managed their campaign. The foregoing proves again the old political doc- trine that to use people politically they need not be but they must be organized. not answer. this matter how d matter informed, The Washingion Merty-Go-Round «Continued from Page Omne) after January Vinson will have a clear field to pull apart the unlfi- cation act ghcih he ngy Fd* give .the Marines more epen: dence, and switch tactical air sup- port from the Air Force to the Army and Navy. Rep. John Wood, of Canton, Ga., will continue as chairman of the House un-American Activities Com- mittee, and, as a result of the Mc- Carthy trend, will have more sup- port for Red hunts in the State Department. Rep. Gene Cox, of Camilla, Ga., will dominate the powerful House Rules Committee through a coali- tion of southerners and Republicans. The Cox coalition will be able to outvote elderly Sabath of Chicago by a margin of at least 8 to 3. If 84-year-old Sa- bath becomes ill, Cox will automat- ically be chairman. THree other Georgians will also hold key spots in the new Con- gress: A. Sidney Camp on the Ways and Means Committee, Paul Brown on Banking and Currency, and Henderson Lanham on Public Works. Senator Downey Steps Down The full story hasn't been told as to why California’s ailing Sen- ator Sheridan Downey, supposedly a stanch Democrat, stepped down six weeks early to make way for newly elected Senator Richard Nix- on, a stanch Republican. Though all the facts haven't leak- ed out, here are some that ale pertinent: Fact No. 1—Downey's premature resignation gives young Nixon the seniority edge over other incoming i Senators, hence the first crack a committee assignments, Nixon Wil ask for a seat on the Judiciary Committee, because he hopes serve on the proposed subcomm\t-‘ tee to investigate the State De-| this | partment. More important, puts him in a strategic spot to block Federal control of Tidelands Oil off the California coast, which the Supreme Court decrees belongs to Uncle Sam. Fact N. 2—When to the Senate, he was heavily in debt. During the past two years, he has ul )en pay’ large hos- pital bills, Yei hys early resigna- tion is costing him approximately $3,500 in Senate salary, expenses, and travel allowances—which he can hardly afford unless someone helps him out. Fact No. 3—Those who have the most influence over Downey are millionaire Oilman Edwin Pauley, who is vitally interested in Tide- land Oil; also some of the other oil companies, plus the big" ranch- Downey came ers for whom Downey worked to' remove the 160-acre limitation. Fact. No. 4—The people who first promoted Senator Nixon for the House of Representatives were Har- ry March, vice president of Signal Oil, and Sam Mosher, president of Signal. They not only helped sell Nixon on the idea of running for Congress several years ago, but hlped to raise money for his.recent chairman Adolph | ‘campalgn for the Senate. Note—Senator Downey is now go- ing into the practice of law. Friends isay he will represent some of the oil companies. Texas Mother ‘When you meet a fine public ser- | ant in Washington, you nearly dwmyse find shate he ‘hassa fine mother in the background. | Marvin Jones, now Chief Jjustice {of the U. S. Court of Claims, has | spent a quarter of a century serving his country. During most of that time, he represented the Panhandle of Texas in the House of Represeh- | tatives, whre he became the leading Congressional expert on agriculture. During the war, he occupied the thanklesss job of War Foods Ad- ministrator. Following which he was appointed to the Court of Claims. But during all these years, Judge Jones has kept in close touch with his 94-year-old mother, who lives in an apartment which her son sup- plies for her in Amarillo. Visiting his motHer ‘*his summer, Judge Jones told her: “Why, you look younger than I do, Mother.” “Maybe it's because I behave bet- | ter than you do,” shot back Lhe: sprightly 94-year-old lady. { Brewster’'s Ambition Owen Brewster ,Maine Senator and friend of the wiretappers, is !running a sly campaign to grab a prize plum—chairman of the Sen- ate Republican Policy Committee. The big hurdle is Robert Taft, present chairman, who shows no !intention of stepping out. But | Brewster figures that Taft, as lead- ing claimant for the 1952 Presiden- ‘unl nomination, can be persuaded jto turn over the chairmanship to in more “neutral” Senator. So Brewster has been tiptoeing around promoting a “draft Taft” movement, RECEPTION FOR ARTISTS FOLLOWS ‘ CONCERT TUESDAY | The officers, committee chairmen and workers in the Juneau-Douglas | Concert Association met Monday ,nlgm in the Council Chambers. A public reception for the artists, De- | sire Legeti and Marcus Gordon, in {the Baranof lounge has beenr ar- ranged immediately after the con- cert next Tuesday evening. It was decided to place a list of sponsors (all those who have | purchased season tickets) in the programs for next Tuesday's per- formance. The piano committee announced the intention of the as- sociation to place a small charge on organizations wishing to use the new piano to help defray its upkeep as they wish to have a case made for it and keep it in good condition. A set of rules gov- erning its use will also be formu- lated.
