Behind Seaton's wintery jun
ket was the fact that in the
short time he has been in the
cabinet, he has persuaded Presi
dent Eisenhower to come out
! for Alaskan statehood and
before he is called to Capitol
' Hill to testify on statehood leg
islation, Seaton needed the ex
' penenre of a personal inspec
' tion of Alaska to be better
equipped to support his case.
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." This

holds such tremendous

An Alaskan columnist put it
this way: "Any way you looked i

purposes. He advised them to

Seaton seemed to be prepar
ing Alaskans for a type of state
hood bill that won't be altogeth
er to their liking, probably one
that will chop off the northwest
portion of the territory, which

As a strong advocate of state
hood for both territories, Seaton
will now have to demonstrate
an ability to translate his senti-
put it across. If he succeeds, he
may well be the favorite son
candidate at the GOP conven
tion in 1960, for already he has
the backing of the Anchorage

Rosenberg i n
h i g office to
day with the
Alias MohT manner of a
man who often has to have an
answer ready for that question.
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.

people in television. It could be

"You could dig into the lives
of any great personality and find

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.

Motel to Open 10
New Units Soon
Brownell's Motel, 1102 North '
Riverside ave., will open 10 new
units this week end, according
to Mr. and Mrs. George Brown-
ell, owners.
The new units, constructed in
two-story, modern style with
brick facing, feature telephones ;
in each room, as well as a TV '.
lounge and laundry facilities.
The units replace four older liv- :
ing units, which, have been .
moved to the back of the motel I
property.
The motel has been in busi
ness in Medford since Decem
ber, 1951, when it was moved,
house by house, from Gold Hill
to its present location. The oper- !
ation, one of the largest house
moving jobs in the area, was ac- '
complished along the Old Stage i
rd., and took several weeks to I
complete. I
Later, after it became estab- !
lished in Medford, a swimming !
pool was constructed, and it is ;
now one of two local motels
with this feature. With the new
addition, the motel has 21 units, 1
including several of the original
buildings moved from Gold Hill.
The motel was in business
during the construction of the
new units, which were built be
hind one row of older buildings.
As it neared completion, Med
ford House Moving company
moved the older ones away, re
vealing the new structure.
TB Official Confers
With Local Groups
M. D. 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

congressman in a heavily Repub

Wednesday.
"If I'm going to say anything
