Before the vote, Rayburn over ruled points of order brought by opponents that the bill contained appropriations and other matters which were only incidental to Alaska's admission. Because of this, contended Reps. Clarence Cannon (D-Mo), John Taber (R - NY) and Howard W. Smith (D-Va), the bill had lost its 'privileged status. , Rayburn, however, cited prece dents that the rule-granting privi lege should be interpreted liber ally. Although some provisions might be only incidental to Alas ka's admission, he said, so long as they tended toward that end they did not destroy the bill's priv ilege. Although they survived the in itial hurdle, statehood advocates face other obstacles. headquarters to report the shoot- me and waited beside the dying doctor until officers arrived and took bim into custody. The victim. Dr. Herbert L. Stol pestad, 51, was dead on . arrival at a hospital. A nurse who 'said she witnessed the shooting report ed at least three shots were fired into the doctor's head. Arrested was a man identified by police as Lawrence Kuehn, 25, St. Paul. He was held without charge.

The nurse admitted him to Stol- pestad's private office. The man pulled a pistol from his coat, she said, and fired as the doctor turned to greet him. Mrs. Carlson fled from the office to get help. The gunman then telephoned po lice from the office and said he had shot the doctor because he had "violated the Hippocratic medical oath. ' The man surrendered without resistance and turned over a .38- caliber pistol and a knife, police said. He also handed them a copy of the Hippocratic .oath and said he had accused the doctor of malpractice. Wife Traffic Victim He was quoted by police as say ing there is Just too mucn cor ruption and rottennesS. He was sworn to uphold the oath, but he didn't." Police said Kuehn told them the alleged malpractice involved his wife who was killed in a traffic accident three years ago. Howev er, records in Dr. Stolpestad's of fice indicated he had never treated any member of the Kuehn family. Relatives told officers that Kuehn had been acting strangely for several months.

Secretary of the Treasury An derson talked about them, but for uie moment the governors were more concerned with guarding the National Guard and Its armories. They went on record, as expect ed, in urging that President Ei senhower "meet with congression al leaders of both parties to for mulate Jointly a comprehensive program for constructively meet ing the economic needs of the na tion." These deliberations, the resolu tion said, should cover such items as unemployment Insurance bene fits, tax policies and public works. It recommended that the program oe developed, on a nonpartisan basis and be given bipartisan support. Gov.

Fol- som leaned his bulk forward in a chair and thundered at Secretary of Defense McElroy and Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Army chief of staff: "I want to announce to Mr. McElroy and Gen. Taylor that the Colonial Militia, which is now the National Guard, was here first. And we're going to stay here." That about summed up the at titude of the other. state execu tives. Their applause Tocked the meeting hall in the Americana Hotel. The Defense Department had announced weeks ago it Intended to abolish six of the .27 National Guard divisions. Governors and guardsmen exploded in opposition. - Taylor was tapped to disclose the administration's strategic re treat. He did it In qualified terms in a formal speech. But under a bombardment of questions, he as sured the governors: "That plan is now out." President Eisenhower also has asked Congress to cut guard man power to - 460,000. . The governors don't like that, either;. ' -McElroy refused to commit the administration to retaining 400,000 men even if Congress tells it to. He persisted after. Gov. .

Political Party Support Plan Gets Backing (Picture m wlrephote page.) WASHINGTON UrV-An advertis ing campaign to educate every American to the need of con tributing a small sum at least a 'dollar to the political party' of his choice was unveiled Wednes day. President Eisenhower and the chairmen of the two major party national committees endorsed the idea. Backers said newspapers, radio and television stations and other media will donate an esti mated 10 million dollars worth of space and time for the project. ' The aim is to get broader par ticipation by citizens' in politics and the financing of campaigns and make party candidates less dependent on big contributors who might expect favors in return for their financial support. The campaign will be conduct ed by the Advertising Council for the American Heritage Founda tion. Both are private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations'. The latter will pay for advertising ma terial, but most of the expense will be borne by voluntary dona tions of advertising time and space. The plan was outlined at a news conference conducted by officials of the two organizations. Examples of radio and . televi sion commercials were shown featuring the campaign's slogan: "Want to keep politics clean? Don't pass the buck . . . give a buck to the party of your choice." Republican Chairman Meade Alcorn and Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butler said party work ers will conduct door-to-door soli citations during September when the foundation drive, beginning next month, will be at its peak. Trujillo Aide Draws Fine TORRANCE, Calif. l-A mis demeanor drunk driving charge brought a fine and suspended five day jail sentence to an aide of Lt. Gen.

Shidler in South Bay Municipal Court. Sued had not been due to appeal until Wednesday. Police said they arrested Sued last Friday after they saw him driving his car erratically.
