IF HE GETS ALL THAT OUT OF THE LITTLE ONE
V ll\^
EVENTUALLY—WHY NOT NOW?
Conservatives of both parties who have long com
plained that they had “no place to go”, may soon have
a haven—if the plans of Publisher Mark P. Haines of
the Sturgis (Mich.) Journal should jell.
Mr. Haines would call his party the “Constitu
, tional Party” and it would be dedicated to political
integrity, fiscal realism and the return of self-gov
ernment and se]f respect to the states and local com
munities.
“What is needed in this country,” says Mr.
Haines, “is a means and opportunity for voters to re
align. themselves into two realistic groups—conserva
tives in one party and the so-called liberals and social
planners in the other.”
Editor George Zarry, of the Dowagiac (Mich.)
News, in reporting on Mr. Haines’ convictions and as
pirations says that while the Sturgis publisher has not
yet worked out the “mechanics” of his new party, he
has been mulling over the problem since June. He
is distressed, says Editor Zarry, at the thought of men
like Georgia’s Senator Russell and Virginia’s Senator
Byrd having to occupy the same party with “the
Morses, the Neubergers, the Mennen Williamses, the
Humphreys and the Harrimans”. He also feels that:
“Millions of northern Republicans, sickened by their
betrayal at Washington, would welcome a new lead
ership and a new party . . . The spenders, taxers, pro
labor groups and those who believe in a strong lead
ership in a strong centralized government would make
up the liberal party.”
As leaders in the Constitutional Party, the Michi
gan publisher would welcome Vice President Nixon,
Senators Knowland, Byrd, Lausche, Smathers and
Gold water; Illinois’ Republican Governor William G.
Stratton and Florida’s Democratic Governor Leroy
Collins.
We think Mr. Haines should include well up in
this list former Governor J. Bracken Lee, of Utah, who
has turned his back in disgust on the Republican party
and filed as an independent candidate for the U.S.
Senate—and who has said: “There is no material
difference between the Democratic and Republican
parties in their fundamental beliefs. .Both now stand
for and support the same policy of high tax, waste
and give-away programs.”
Interim Governor
Uulikely Unless
Emergency Arises
WASHINGTON, W) — An In
terior Department official today
said there is a strong feeling
against appointing an interim
governor of Alaska unless some
unforeseen necessity arises.
This official said the depart
ment has the utmost confidence
in Alaska Secretary Waino Hen
drickson, who will become act
ing governor Aug. 9.
Hendrickson, secretary since
1953, takes over when the res
ignation of Gov. Mike Stepovich
becomes' effective.
Stepovich resigned to run for
U.S. senator from the new state
of Alaska, expected to be formal
ly designated as such after an
Alaskan referendum this fall.
Secretary Seaton said last week
the possibility of appointing an
interim governor was being con
sidered. He explained then that
Hendrickson would become gov
ernor when Stepovich stepped
out.

House Committee
Approves Hawaii
Statehood 22-4
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
House Interior Committee to
day approved the Hawaii state
hood bill by a 22-4 vote.
Chairman Leo O’Brien (D-NY)
of the territories subcommittee
said he considered it futile to at
tempt further action this year.
He predicted early action in the
next Congress and final enact
ment of the bill within 12 months.
The committee rejected a last
minute effort by Rep. John R.
Phillips (R-NY) to require a
plebiscite in Hawaii on whether
its voters desire statehood.
Voting against the bill were
Phillips, Reps. Walter Rogers
(D-Tex), J. T. Rutherford (D-Tex)
and James B. Utt (R-Calif).
The Hawaii statehood measure
was held back deliberately In
the present Congress to keep it
from being combined with the
Alaska statehood bill—a tactic
that twice resulted in the defeat
of both measures.
Enactment of the Alaska state
hood bill this year is generally
regarded as having set a prece
dent and brightened prospects
for Hawaii to become the 50th
state.

Demands To Move
Fishery Pact Line
Criticized By Japs
TOKYO, — A top Japanese
fishery official Tuesday voiced
criticism of expected American
demands to shift the present
U.S.-Canada-Japan fishery pact
line further west. He called
them “arbitrary and based on
extremely insufficient scientific
data.”
The line was fixed in the 1952
tripartite fisheries pact at 175
degrees west longitude. Japan
ese agreed to abstain from taking
salmon east of it.
“Moving the treaty line would
be like scrapping the tfeaty. Ja
pan can not yield to such a
demand,” Kenjiro Nishimura,
vice chairman of the fishery
board, said in an interview.
He left Tuesday night on Japan
Air Lines with a delegation of
four to attend a meeting in
Honolulu preliminary to the an
nual tripartite fishery meeting in
Tokyo Nov. 4. He expected to
have informal talks with his
American counterparts on the
fishing line issue at the Aug. 7-13
meeting in Hawaii.
He denied any knowledge of a
reported secret agreement be
tween American^ salmon packers
and Japanese ted salmon fish
ermen to limit Japanese opera
tions west of the present line.
Japanese commercial fishing of
ficials have confirmed existence
of such an agreement.
“The United States has made
the whole - issue look as if there
existed only the problem of
American red salmon,” he said.
“They say American origin red
salmon goes west of the existing
line, therefore the line should be
moved west.”
