f Boh Hope Takes It Easy
Before Hopping Off Again
HOLLYWOOD UP — It’s back to
the golf course for Bob Hope and
an Eastern tour of benefits is on
tap for next week. Hope dropped
out of a golf tournament last
week, complaining of dizziness.
But it was fatigue, he says, and
nothing more.
Over the weekend, he was busy
editing the tape of his Wednes
day night television show made
during his recent holiday tour of
U. S. bases in the Caribbean.
The comedian’s doctor wants
him away from his Toluca Lake
home for awhile. The office of
the Hope Enterprises is on the
property and it’s hard for the
boss to rest with work nearby.
He’ll rest and golf this week
in Palm Springs. Sunday he takes
off for St. Louis—and a benefit.
Most fires start in homes, but
in 1959 fire damaged or destroyed
3,000 churches. . . . Fires break
out in eight to ten U. S. churches
every day.

A Period of Harmony and Unity
The ‘fcBig Test" Is About to Come
By James Marlow
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (Jt — Sen. Mike
Mansfield of Montana, the Demo
crat’s new Senate leader, starts
off on a brezzy note of optimism.
Before the end of this year, or
even this month, he may feel a
little less bouncy.
Speaking of the Senate — where
his Democrats far outnumber the
Republicans — Mansfield said:
“I look forward to a period of
harmony and unity.”
The first test of both harmony
and unity is coming in a hurry
as the Senate gets down to ex
amining and approving the men
President-elect John F. Kennedy
has chosen for his cabinet.
Republican Douglas Dillon was
scheduled for the first looking
over, today. He was President Ei
senhower’s Undersecretary of
State and didn’t make Republi
cans happy by accepting Ken
nedy’s offer to make him Sec
retary of the Treasury.
The brilliant Dillon, who al
ways got along with Congress,
probably won’t have any trouble
getting approval. The actual ap
proval, of course, must wait until
after Kennedy is sworn in as
President Jan. 20.
Between now and then various
Senate committee will quiz Ken
nedy’s cabinet appointees and
others he has chosen for key jobs
as a preliminary to full Senate
votes later.
Mansfield even predicted quick
passage of the main parts of Ken
nedy’s “new frontiers” program,
with some help from the Republi
cans. It may turn out he’ll need
a lot of Republican help.
One of the first Kennedy
choices likely to run into some
rough going is Chester Bowles,
designated for Undersecretary of
State.
Sen. Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire, chairman of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Commit
tee, told the New York Herald
Tirbune he and others would give
Bowles the “closest scrutiny.”
The reason: Bridges accuses
Bowles of a “lot of double talk”
on whether this country should
recognize Red China.
In the Senate, some Southern
Democrats have threatened to op
pose Kennedy’s nomination of
Robert C. Weaver, a Negro, as
director of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency.
Kennedy had pledged himself
to end racial discrimination in
government subsidized housing, j
Weaver, who hardly could do
otherwise, since Kenedy picked
him, promised to have the same
attitude.
Home builders in the South
might lose some money if the
government sought to withhold
funds from construction unless
whites and Negroes could live
side by side in it.
Sen. A. Willis Robertson, Vir
ginia Democrat, announced op
position to Weaver, although he
didn’t say it was because Weaver
is a Negro. Robertson is chair
man of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee which will
examine Weaver.
The unity which Mansfield sees
may in the end prevail but it is
unlikely to be harmonious.
Economy is a distributive vir
tue, and consists not in saving
but in selection. Parsimony re
quires no province, no sagacity,
no pow’ers of combination, no
comparison, no judgment.

Egan Outlines His
Basie Proposed
Legislation
JUNEAU (J’l — Gov. William
A. Egan will recommend to the
1961 Legislature that pre-election
registration of voters be required
in the heavily populated election
districts of Alaska.
The recommendation is one of
many the state’s chief executive
will make when the second State
Legislature convenes on Jan. 23.
In an exclusive interview with
the Associated Press, Egan went
over the basic points of his pro
posed legislative program. It was
the first time during his tenure as
governor he had agreed to such
a session.
The overriding consideration
for any portion of the legislative
program he will recommend is
money.
“The most important problem
facing the Legislature will be the
budget,” Egan said.
“With costs of government in
creasing year by year, the prob
lem of financing state activities
is one of great magnitude.
We are having a difficult time
getting the budget down anyway
near anticipated revenues.
“It is likely that I will have to
request substantial increases in
revenue in order that the state
can carry the financial burden of
necessary services.”
Egan declined to say1 how much
more tax money would be needed
and what new tax measures he
might propose.
In addition to asking for pre
election registration in some dis
tricts, Egan said he might also
suggest that the 1960 election
code be revised to make it easier
for candidates of minor political
parties to get a place on the elec
LADY IN DISTRESS . . .
LITTLE ROCK (J* — The Ar
kansas Supreme Court has af
firmed a $200 judgment for Pat
Maddox Brewer of North Little
Rock against a finance company,
which seized her automobile while
she was taking a bath and was,
thus, unable to protest.
tion ballot.
There will also be minor tech
nical changes in the law, the gov
ernor said.
Egan said he will also propose
that the Legislature include all
state employes under the terms
of the Unemployment Compensa
tion Act. The state would pay its
contribution, as employer, from
the basic general fund.
The state appropriation for
fiscal 1961 provided approximate
ly $21.5 million for salaries and
wages of state employes. Based
on this figure, the state’s contri
bution for unemployment security
benefits for its employes for a
year would be approximately
$322,000.
