SPACE TIMEPIECE
B
If you're thinking of a trip
to Mars, here's just the thing
to keep you from missing in
terplanetary connections. The
world's first space timepiece
shows the comparative passage
of time days, hours, months,
and years on earth and on
planets. The numbers around
the face indicate Martian time,
which passes only half as fast
as earth time due to greater
distance from the sun. Think of
it, girls! If 'you're 42 here,
you're a frisky 21 on Mars.

might be able to iteer Hawaii Into
statehood without too much trou
ble. Then a member of his own
party, Sen. Dworshak of Idaho,
rocked the boat.
For more than IS years congres
sional committees have batted
around the question of letting the
territories of Hawaii and Alaska
become states. The Senate . has
been the bottleneck.
The House gave approval for
Hawaii thrae times, in 1947, 1950
and 1953, and for Alaska once, in
1950. The Senate, never for either.
Democrats and Republicans have
talked about statehood for both ter.
ritories for years, but most of the
time in such weasel-words in their
campaign platforms as favoring
siaienooa - eventually. .
In 1948 the Democrats got bold
and favored "immediate" state
hood for both. But former Presi
dent Truman couldn't get the Dem
ocratic-controlled Congress to car
ry tnrougn. in their 1952 platform
the Democrats repeated them
selves, i -
In that year." with Eisenhower
heading the ticket, the Republi
cans came out for "immediate"
statehood for Hawaii but. for
Alaska, admission, presumably not
so speedily, under an enabling act.
iromcauy enough, in the 1952
elections Alaska, Democratic for
years, elected a Republican Legis
lature while in Hawaii, traditional
ly Republican, the Democrats
made gains.
As soon as he got into the White
House, Eisenhower asked his Republican-controlled
Congress to let
Hawaii into the Union.
The House okayed a statehood
bill for Hawaii. But not the Senate.
It was supposed to act this vear.
Two weeks ago Eisenhower again
urged Hawaiian statehood, and
again passed over Alaska.
If the Senate Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee sent up a bill
on Hawaii alone, it might get quick
action and might even pass 'the
Senate. If then an Alaska bill came
up later, or separately, Alaska
would probably be pushed aside.
But if the committee sent up one
bill combining Hawaii and Alaska,
neither might get approval, since
some senators want statehood for
Alaska and some don't and there'd
be a general mixup and maybe
stalemate.
This week the committee, on
which the Republicans have a ma
jority, took up the question.
Before the voting, this was the
outlook: only one Republican, Sen.
Malone of Nevada, and all the
Democrats except Sen. Long of
Louisiana, who had committed
himself to Hawaii favored a
combined Hawaii-Alaska bill; and
all the other Republicans would go
lor a single biU on Hawaii.
But the vote when it came
it was 8-7 was for a combined
bill. Dworshak had voted with
Malone and the Democrats. Why?
He said later: "To force a show
down. This statehood thing has
been kicking around since the
year one."
Unless the full Senate HreU
separates the two territories when
it Eels the bill, Hawaii's chances of
statehood this year don't look too
good. Alaska this year, as last
year, seems to have no chance
at all.
So Eisenhower, who got his first
victory this week with Senate ap
proval of the St. Lawrence sea
way, got his first real bump of
1954 on the statehood Dill.

but was captured in Southern Ore
gon after buing wounded three
times by police.
The judge ruled none of Macom

asked the prisoner if he had any
further arguments to present.
Macombcr said he considered it
hopeless to argue further at the
hearing, and expressed regret he
did not have an attorney.
Then Wolf von Ottcrstedt, assist
ant stale attorney general, said
Macombcr would be handed a bill
for the hearing expense. He esti
mated this would he about $1,000.
