This in itself offers the most significant contrast between the way he has handled the matter and McKay's method. McKay went to Alaska in July, 1954, and told Alaskans one reason they wouldn t get statehood was clared the publisher of the Fair banks Daily News-Miner. He predicted "more accomplish ments in the next four years for Alaska than in any previous time in the territory's history." The Anchorage Times, Al aska's largest daily which used to blister McKay at least once weekly, said: "Secretary Seaton won the hearts as well as the minds of everyone he contact- nht. Smith predecessor. Douglas McKay. It was Sraton's first visil to Alaska, and, as the Anchorage Times observed, "he became the first cabinet officer of the Un ited States ever to come to the territory in the winter."

Ro.enl-g, with director-star Jose Ferrer, turned out the film, "ThC)Grt Man," from the best selling bjVok by Al Morgan. It's the rst itriguing film to be re leased this year. "The Great Man" tells about a televisio idol who has a folksy, glovable approach tiat has en deared him to millions; when he dies. lowly disc jockey, played by Ferrer, has to produce a pro gram about the celebrated tar," Rosenberg said. Unhappiness Diseoverld In the course of looking into the great man's life, Ferrer finds out the idol was a miserable, unhappy cuss who was difficult to work for and loved no one. As in the case of "Citizen Kane" and "The Barefoot Con tessa," persons wh've seen the pictsje have been speculating in fan letters, columns and con versation as to the real - life model of the main character.

"You could dig into the lives of any great personality and find startlUig things that have hap pened to him that the audience never knows about. People ap parently are curious to see the : movie because they identify var ious persons with it. So far the producer at Universal-International studio has heard only from one entertainer. "I was lunching with Al Mor gan, the author, at the Brown Derby and Milt"n Berle came over and accused Morgan of do ing his life story," said Rosen berg. "I don't know whether Berle was kidding or being ser ious." Although television might not hand "The Great Man" any or chids, U-I is proud of its movie and plans to pump it for the Oscar awards in 1958. 'Killer' Kane of Saipan Fame Killed l)giista, Ga.

Harman, case finding director of the Oregon Tubercu losis and Health association, con ferred with the case finding committee of the Jackson Coun ty Public Health association, the public health department and hospital administrators here last week. Harman reviewed the local program to discover unknown cases of tuberculosis through chest x-rays of hospital patients and the x-ray clinic operated by the public health association each Thursday afternoon and the first Wednesday evening of each month. Harman said statewide statis tics prove the value of x-ray clinics. A single case of tuberculosis costs governmental and non governmental agencies approxi mately S15.000, he said, which brings the cost of the 16 cases found in Jackson county last year to about S240.000. The chest x-ray machinery lo cally was made possible by Christmas Seal money. Washington -U R Rep Charles H. Brown, (D-Mo). who unseated a veteran Republican congressman in a heavily Repub lican district last November, de clined to yield the floor to a colleague during a House debate Wednesday.
