Seaton Impartial
On Credit Due
For Statehood
WASHINGTON, — Secretary
of the Interior Seaton said today
he hasn’t “the slightest concern
as to whom or which political
, party gets the credit for Hawai
ian or Alaskan statehood.”
“Simple justice,” he added, “de
mands that each be admitted to
the union.
“Republicans or Democrats, the
people of these territories are
Americans, and I know of nothing
in the Constitution of the United
States which gives preference to
one political party affiliation as a
test of fitness for statehood.”
Seaton’s statement, published
in the letters to the editor col
umn of the Washington Post, was
made in a letter thanking the
paper for am. editorial and the
boost it provided for Alaska
statehood.
For the past several weeks, the
Secretary has been confined to
* Walter Reed Army Hospital with
I a back ailment.
Quake Threw Man
Onto Secretary’s Lap
But Business Went On
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — Fri
day’s severe earthquake caught
Gene Hoffman dictating, and in
mid-stride. He was thrown onto
his secretary’s lap, then rolled
onto the floor.
Just then the telephone rang.
“Will you talk a little louder
please?” Hoffman heard the op
erator in his American President
Lines ask. “We are having an
earthquake and the line is a little
fuzzy.” Then . . .
“Oh, wait just a minute, please,
until Mr. Hoffman gets off the
floor.”
