Thurman Offers First
Amendment To
Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, Ufl — Sen. Her
man Talmadge (D-Ga>*contended
that arguments for Alaska state
hood “ have their basis in ideal
ism rather than realism . . .
stem from emotion rather than
logic.”
The former Georgia governor,
picking up the southern opposi
tion, spoke as the Senate speeded
up its schedule in the third day
of debate on the statehood bill.
The first formal proposal for
amendment of the bill reached
the Senate, submitted by Sen.
trom Thurmond (D-SC), it would
require congressional concurrence
before the President could create
military reservation areas in Nor
thern and Western Alaska. As
the bill stands the executive could
act on his own.
The “substantial division among
the citizens of Alaska about the
matter of statehood,” Talmadge
said, is in itself a reason for
Congress to go slow.
Rather than ease Alaska’s eco
nomic problems, the Georgian
said, statehood might aggravate
them because of the withdrawal
of federal assistance in footing
the bills of government.
On the other side of the issue,
Sen. John Kennedy urged pas
sage of the bill as a demonstra
tion “that the United States is
able gradually yet effectively to
liquidiate its colonial relation
ships.”
Kennedy said Alaska has “giv
en convincing demonstration of
its capacity to fulfill the respon
sibilities Of statehood.” Its case
for statehood, he said, can stand
on its Own merits.

Spiritual Truths
Gleaned From
The News

Nome Gospel Home
From LeTourneau Tech’s Now
The other day, as President
Eisenhower walked from the
White House to the executive of
fice building, for a meeting with
newsmen, the sun was shining
beautifully; and numerous evi
dence of Spring were apparent.
The President opened his news
conference with a broad grin, and
remarked that there was a real
revolution in Washington weather.
And he advised the reporters to
go to their Bibles and read verses
11 and 12 of the second chapter
of the Song of Solomon.
Here is the passage: “For, lo,
the winter is past, the rain is
over and gone; the flowers ap
pear on the earth; the time of
the singing of birds is come, and
the voice of the turtle (dove)
is heard in our land.”
After a long, cold and stormy
winter, all manifestations of
Spring—sunshine, flowers, sing
ing birds, and cooing doves—are
most welcome! It is only natural
that the President should smile
and call attention to such a “rev
olution in the weather.”
Many persons when first con
fessing Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior, use that passage of Scrip
ture to express the great spiritual
change which occurred. They
passed from the cold, damp,
murmuring condition of sin and
unbelief into the bright and
glorious joy of the Lord.
One song writer rendered it
thus:
“Heaven above is softer blue,
Earth around is richer green
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with gladder songs
o’erflow,
Flowers with deeper beauty
shine,
Since I know, as now I know
I am Christ’s—and He is mine!”
In His presence there is ful
ness of joy; and at His right hand,
pleasures for evermore. (Psalm
15:11)
