By mall uuhids uiciuoi mummy bis Refreshing Personality Appears Not too often in American public affairs are the news col umns brightened by the appearance of some new and refresh ing personality. Such a one is George Lehleitncr who is spark plugging statehood for Alaska ter out ol Oregon history. Whether you approve Alaska statehood or not you must, as Life magazine said a few weeks ago, take your hat off to Leh leitncr. There arc two strange things about his work for the cause. One is that he draws no salary. His interest is simply that of a private citizen. The other is that he lives at a very remote dis tance from Alaska. His home is in New Orleans where he is a refrigerator merchant. In World War II Lehleitncr was stationed in Hawaii as a troopship commander. As he saw it the people of Hawaii were being governed like the colonists in pre-Kevolutionary days. He didn't like it. So, as soon as he got out of the Navy, he be gan working for Hawaiian statehood. Then he visited Alaska and took that territory on too. It had become a hobby with him. Being a scholarly man, he did some research, and un covered something that most people had forgotten the meth od seven earlier territories had used to acquire statehood. They were Tennessee, Michigan, Oregon, California, Minne sota, Iowa and Kansas. Since Tennessee had been the first to use it Lehleitncr called it "the Tennessee plan." Briefly, as Life said, the plan "con sists of acting like a state before becoming one." Part of the act Is to elect two senators and a representative and send them to the national Capitol to lobby for statehood until they get it. The election is preceded by a state constitutional con vention. Normal and less aggressive procedure is to wait for statehood and then elect a congressional delegation. Lehleitner found that the plan was not only legal, but that It brought speedy results. Tennessee got statehood within two months after its delegation, one of whom was Andrew Jackson, reached Washington. For Oregon, third territory to try the plan; it took longer, but comparatively action was fast. Oregon's constitutional convention met in August and Sep tember of 1857. The constitution was ratified by the people November 9 of the same year. It called for an election of state, cotlnty and federal officers In June, 1858, and provided for a session of the state Legislature a month later so that body might choose two United Stales senators. Lafayette Grover was elected as Representative in Congress, and the Legislature chose Dclazon Smith and Joseph Lane as U. S. senators. Lane was serving at the time as the territory's delegate to Congress. The three worked hard for statehood, and Oregon was admitted February 14, 185!). This date is, of course, known lo most Orcgonians, but the importance of this bit of Oregon history to the cause of Alaskan statehood isn t"a general lack of iudument." 1 general knowledge. Lehleitner points out that Oregon's neighbor, Washington Territory, did not use the Tcnnesssee plan, and was not ad mitted to statehood until 1889, which was 31 years after Ore gon and 39 years after California had been admitted to the family of states. Discord Over The' huge size and cost of President Eisenhower's budget has shocked many of his top supporters and some fiscal offi cials, among them Treasury Secretary Humphrey, who is quoted as saying in a Washington interview: "The increasing cost of government should promptly be stopped. If it isn't slopped, I predict we'll have a hair. He supports the budget Asked by a newsman whom spending and the number of government spenders, he replied, "Everybody. Congress enacts laws that start with the public. Various groups keep turning on the pressure keep turning to the Federal Government for everything in the world to be taken care of." He continued: "Tho pressure is put on Congress 4o enact laws lo help them. Congress enacts some laws to help them and the Executive, when the laws go in, has to support the laws and work with the laws and that adds to the payrolls and it adds to the employment and it adds to the cost of Government and that adds to the luxes, it is just everybody "1 crilieize everybody from the public right slniiyht Ihrouuh to myself. We have not heon firm enough. We hnvc to be firmer than vc have been and wo have lo get our expenses in better control than they now are." Mr. Humphrey denies any clash with the President, but the differences are obvious, for while he was calling for govern ment to do less for the people. Ike was calling for more spend ing for the "everyday well being of our people by helping im prove their economic opportunities, hcloinc to nrovide safe guards against economic and physical hazards, and helping to build needed public assets."

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG Some Angles Overlooked in Knowland Decision to Quit By RAY By RAY TUCKER Every Saturday, Ray Tucker answers readers' question! of general interest on national and International policies and per sonalities. Questions may be sent to him at 7008 Illllcrest Place, Chevy Chase, Md. WASHINGTON "What do you make of Senator Knowland's plan lo quit the Senate in 1956?" asks L. K. of Berkeley. Calif. "Is he running for President against Vice President Nixon, or what? How can he keep in the political lime light from 1953 to I960, when the Republicans must seek a new can didate for the Presidency, if he is only a private citizen?" Answer: The Knowland-Nixon question has been discussed in the press and on Capitol Hill to a turn. but I think that there are a few angles that have been overlooked, and a few misrepresentations of Knowland's attitude. No Nlxon-Knowland Feud In the first place, there is no , fierce feud between Vice President Nixon and Senator Knowland, al though they are not close friends. If President Eisenhower should in dicate toward the close of his sec ond term that he prefers Nixon as his successor, I imagine that ben ator Knowland would abide by that decision. He would not precipitate a dangerous row in national or Cal ifornia politics in the face of Ike's mandate. And it should be kept in mind that, assuming that Eisenhower retains his present hold on the af fection of the American electorate. it wilt he difficult for any man who bucks him to be elected in 19fi0, Salem 25 Yrs.

Knight. He has become unpopular with Cali fornia Republicans because, al U hough regarded as a conservative when he was Lieutenant oovernor (he used to criticize Earl War rens progressive Administration! Knight has now become relatively radical, especially on labor ques tion. Gov. Knight Might Re Target If there is to be ganging up against anybody, I imagine that it will be against Knight, who faces reelection in J958, rather than against Vice President Nixon Should Senator Knowland seek and win the Governorship in 1958, he would become the political boss of California. But there is no assur ance that he would throw his in fluence against Nixon. Senator Knowland does not have to run for President in 19R0, even in 1964. He could step aside to permit Nixon to win in both these years, if he can do so, and wait around until 1968. Knowland is only 48 now, and he would not be too old in 1968 to be President. From Speculative Standpoint So, from a purely speculative standpoint, why would it not be smart for Knowland to combine with Nixon to dump Knight, help to place Nixon in the While House from 1900 to 18, assuming that the Republicans can win in 1960 and 1964, and then rely on the Vice President to return the com pliment? Of course, there are dangers In this kind of strategy. If this Al-phonese-and-Gaston game becomes too obvious to the politicians and the people, with California seeking to nail down the White House as its private precinct for half generation, there could be a na tionwide revolt against a Pacific Coast dynasty. Election Schedule In Britain 'In view of the dissension with in the Conservative Party in Eng land, and the enforced dropping of Anthony Eden for Harold Mac millan," asks T.H. of Boston, Mass., "why do they not hold a general election, and find out whether the Rrilish people are sat islied with the'r pre-ent brand of governrrent? If Men ins born continue in power ? Answer: England holds a gen 25 oral election only under definite conditions. First, they hold them normally every live years. The Party in control must go to the people if it is defeated in Com mons on a major question of great significance, but not on a minor or routine division. Finally, if the Party in control thinks that it can increase its Commons majority by a political polling, it can de cide to schedule a general election at any time. The shift from Eden to Macmil lan was a matter of internal Party strategy, and did not involve a serious Conservative-Labor clash on the floor. Moreover, there is a question whether the Conserva tives could win in a popular test at this particular moment. So, they hope to survive the current crisis by merely changing the crew and commander of the Ship of State.

PatU'i EpUcopftl Church A friend who was in to see me recently asked me where one could find a brief summary of Christ's teachings. I, of course, suggested he read the 5th, 6th and 7th chapters of the Gospel accord ing to Saint Matthew, and Saint Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians. The 5th. 6th and 7th chapters of Saint Matthew embrace the fam oils Sermon on the Mount dcliv-; ered by Our Lord, setting forth ; the very core of His divine teach ing. As for the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Ephesians, Coleridge described this Epistle as the "Di vinest Composition of Man" and noted that it embraced every doc trine of Christianity as well as those precepts common to reveal ed and natural religion. Anyone searching for firnda- mental Christian teaching should familiarize himself with Christ s Sermon on the Mount and Saint Paul's Epistle lo the Ephesians The Apostles and Nicene Creeds of course, were set forth by the: Kicking ihe Lion Astorian Budget One inevitable after-effect of the futile British-French attack on Egypt is a further lowering of Brit ish prestige.

The fact is that within a year or so the United States may be seriously considering oia to the Egyptian people due to the plight in which they may find themselves be cause of the mis guided policies of Nasser, This is the emerging picture of the Middle East. It may ex plain why the Eisenhower admin istration is declining to say ai mis time just which countries it will eventually help wtih the economic measures being considered by Congress. Secretary of State Dulles, in the testimony he gave in closed ses sion to the House Foreign Affairs committee this week, a portion of which now has been released, said that several Middle East countries are faced with economic chaos as a result of the closing of the Suez Canal and the blow ing up in Syria of the oil pipeline from Iraq. Mr. Dulles declared that there are no immediate plans to use any funds to aid Egypt fi nancially but that he hoped Egypt would be free of Communist influ ence in "a year or two" and then would become eligible for help. He added: 'I do not think the fact that they once perhaps made a reckless transaction and mortgaged much of their crops to finance arms should bar them from help at all times." This is but another way of saying that Nasser's mistakes will not be held against the Egyptian people, who presumably will take care of the Nasser blunders themselves with a new government of their own choosing.

Whe nthe Egyptian people wake up to what has happened, they will remove him from office, not because of what Britain and France have said about the impos sibility of doing business with Nas ser but because the commercial groups of every major nation have come to the same conclusion.

In fact, there is grave danger that the Suez Canal will not be the same, important waterway in the next ten years that it has been in the past- New pipelines to Med iterranean ports from the Arab countries, by-passing Egypt, are a virtual certainty now. The United States government doesn't have to participate In the financing of such projects. They will be developed in the natural course of events by business leaders of various coun tries in constructing projects that will insure a steady flow of oil through friendly countries. The Arab countries, moreover, which have been hurt by Nasser's tac tics and want to sell their oil will cooperate in building the new pipe lines. Also, larger and larger tankers are being ordered which in a few years will carry more and more oil around the Cape of Good Hope and avoid passage through the Suez altogether. The large-sized tankers can transport more oil and do ft more economically than the small er ones that go through the Sua Canal. It takes a little longer voy age, but the expense is about the same. Already the tanker con struction business everywhere is in one of its biggest booms, and Nas ser is really the man these builders of giant tankers have-to thank- For many weeks there have been two fallacies widely published and widely believed. One is that Nas ser was provoked by the with drawal of American funds for the Aswan dam and hence seized the canal as a reprisal. This isn't true. The American government has evidence that the Egyptian dictator intended to seize the canal long before the offer of money to help i build the big dam was withdrawn. Another lallacy is that Nasser s prestige has been enhanced by the American policy of siding against the British and French when they resorted to military ac tion in and around the Suez. Actually, it has worked the oth er way. From the day the British and French took the initiative and used force, the Nasser regime was doomed. For it meant that bus inesses of all kinds in western Eu rope would be wary of Egypt- Any country that goes in for "national ization" a euphemistic word for arbitrary confiscation is bound to scare off investment capital and discourage commercial relation ships. Nasser may have enjoyed a brief triumph in the press of some countries and among those in this country who wanted to toss barbs at the American government, but his goose was cooked the day he seized the canal an action that was coupled with his purchase of arms from the Communists. Egypt belongs with Ihe West from a trade viewpoint, and many of her leaders have a Wetsern education and background. The future of Egypt's economy lies in a partnership with the West, which means America, Britain and France. While it may take several months for all these facts to sink in, Ihe end of Nasser as a dictator and a reversal of his policies are inevitable if Egypt is to survive as an independent nation.
