Those girls gall and call, but you never bother to call them back, You never date any of them. Why don't you, Ted?” So that was the day he took a few minutes off from clowning and talked quite seriously. HE balanced himself against a chair arm and lit a cigarette. “I don’t bother with them be- cause I'm not interested in any of them, Jane, They're all just— well, school kids.

The remedy to this situation need not come before statehood but could easily be worked out after statehood is grant- ed, Although present indications are that statehood for Hawaii is near a reality and that Alaska may be left out, we believe there is much merit in Sparkman’s sug- gestion that both territories be made states at the same time, if they are to gain statehood.
