Pacific Northwest May
Get Competition From
California Steamship Co.
SEATTLE, (je—A report that
•ne steamship company may be
preparing to set up Alaska cargo
rates as low from California ports
as from the Pacific Northwest cir
culated here yesterday.
The move would destroy much
of Seattle’s competitive advantage
in Alaska shipping and endanger
the port’s traditional position as
supplier to the territory.
Altho the report could not be
finally confirmed, it was substan
tial enough to stir troubled dis
cussion at the meeting of the
Seattle Port Commission.
i SEATTLE, iA7—The care given
tuberculous Alaska natives in
three Seattle sanatoriums has
been an important factor in re
ducing the tuberculosis problem
in Alaska, the Alaska Native
Health Service said yesterday.
Dr. T. E. Hynson, area medical
officer, said the agency has been
“very well pleased with the care
the Alaska natives have received
in Seattle.”
Dr. Hynson reported that 510
patients received care here in the
first two years of the program.
The U.S. Public Helath Service
contracts for the care. The pro
gram was established because of
the tremendous number of cases
and a shortage of hospital beds
in Alaska.
Among the 510 patients admit
ted to Firland Sanatorium, Laurel
Beach Sanatorium and Riverton
Sanatorium in the past two years,
295 had been discharged.
This i9 particularly significant,
says Dr. Hynson, because “a large
percentage of patients sent down
during the first year were far
advanced cases," many of whom
required extensive surgery as
well as long hospitalization.
The average length of the Alas
kans’ stay was higher than that of
Washington patients. At Firland,
the Alaskans sayed an average of
328 days, at Laurel Beach 360
days, and at Riverton 349 days.
The average number of Alas
kans receiving treatment at any
one time during the two years
was 280; the average number at
Firland was 98, at Laurel Beach
97, and at Riverton 84.

ISRAEL AGREES TO
GET OUT OF EGYPT
(Continued from Page One)
agreed to accept the General
Assembly resolution setting up
a U.N. command for the Suez
area.
Western capitals still kept a
wary eye out for signs of Soviet
troops movement toward the Mid
dle East.
French Foreign Minister Chris
tian Pineau told a parliamentary
group in Paris that an “important
formation” of Soviet Mig 17s flew
over Turkey to Syrian bases last
Monday.
The Egyptian embassy in Mos
cow said it was continuing to en
roll hundreds of Soviet “volun
teers” for service in the Middle
East. Communist China earlier
reported a favorable response to
Egyptian appeals for help.
Security Council
Discusses Crisis
In Middle East
WASHINGTON, WV-President
Eisenhower and the National Se
curity Council yesterday dis
cussed the Middle East crisis for
2M> hours.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said the confer
ence dealt, among other things,
with the role the United States
intends to play in supplying trans
portation assistance for the emer
gency police force the United Na
tions has voted to send into
Egypt.
Hagerty declined to provide any
other detail regarding the session.
It is a rare exception for the
White House to disclose even the
general nature of the council’s
agenda.
The press secretary, when say
ing that the Middle East situation
was discussed, said he wanted to
emphasize again that the United
States does not intend to contrib
ute any troops to the U.N. police
force.
The administration was report
ed to be seeking all possible speed
in replacing the British, French
and Israeli forces in Egypt with
peace-keeping troops under the
U.N. flag.
Uruguay Students
Protest Russian
Action in Hungary
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, UP—
A crowd of about 200 youths,
carrying sticks and torches, yes
terday morning burned down the
Russian consulate here as a pro
! test against Soviet repression in
Hungary.
Police said the only person in
the building at the time was a
policeman and he ran to seek
help. By the time police and fire
men arrived the place was ablaze.
No one was hurt.
Another angry crowd of several
hundred stoned the Soviet em
bassy a few blocks from the con
sulate Wednesday night while a
party was in progress in obser
vance of the 39th anniversary of
the Bolshevik revolution.

Eisenhower Carried Oregon, But
Most Other Races Went Democratic
Morse Survived
Landslide for Ike and
McKay’s Campaign
PORTLAND, Ore., Of)—Senator
Wayne Morse, bitterly attacked
by the Republicans as a foe of
President Eisenhower, has sur
vived both the Eisenhower land
slide and a hard-driving cam
paign by Republican Douglas Mc
Kay. Morse won re-election with I
a margin of more than 31,972
votes.
Oregon’s six electoral votes
went to Eisenhower but the mag
ic of the President’s name failed
to pull McKay along. Two Repub
lican congressmen had tough
fights, too.
McKay quit as secretary of the
Interior, with the President’s
good wishes, in an effort to unseat
Morse, a thorn in the administra
tion’s side.
President Eisenhower at the
same time led Adlai Stevenson
by a 55 percent margin, com
pared with 61 percent four years
ago.

First Democrat
Elected for Governor
In Oregon Since 1934
Oregon will have a Democratic
governor next year and will be
represented in Congress by five
Democrats and only one Republi
can.
The new governor will toe Rob
ert Holmes, a state senator and
Astoria radio station manager,
Holmes’ victory over Republi
can Gov. Elmo Smith reflected
the recent Democratic swing in
voter registration in the state.
The governor-elect staged a strong
campaign after barely winning
the Democratic primary last May
despite the fact that his only op
ponent withdrew from the race
before the election.
Holmes, 47, is the first Demo
crat elected Oregon governor
since 1934. He is married and the
father of two sons, 21 and 18.
He served four sessions in the
state senate. He is a graduate of
the Univerity of Oregon, where
he studied journalism.
Rep. Walter Norblad is the
only Republican to survive the
Democratic congressional Land
slide. Rep. Edith Green, Demo
crat from Portland, won easily.
