WHAT BRITISH PAPERS SAY
• The Daily Sketch (Conservative): Amid the bitter
controversy that is raging over the Government’s action
there is one fact to which all must cling: that is that
there can be no retreat from the step that has been
taken. The nation will hope for one thing—quick mili
tary action and a quick settlement.”
The News Chronicle (Liberal): “The argument
that everyone should rally around the Government
now that decisive action has been taken is utterly false.
No obligation ever rested on civilized people to agree
to an injustice. The British people are divided on
something more important than politics—they are di
vided in their conscience. Therefore there must be a
change in leadership. The present policy must be re
versed and the attack on Egypt must be called off.”
The Times (Independent): “Many of the moral
casualties which seem so grievously stricken today
will quickly recover if the Government achieves their
declared aim in a short time. But whether the Govern
ment action succeeds or fails, one wound that will
fester unless it is promptly dealt with is that inflicted
on Anglo-American relations.”

John Adams Has
High Hop es for
Alaska Statehood
ANCHORAGE, High hopes
for statehood soon were expressed
here Wednesday by John B. Ad
ams, the publicity consultant who
has been retained to promote the
Alaska-Tennessee plan mission to
Washington.
“Alaska’s case for statehood is
legitimate,” declared the former
radio commentator and World
War II war correspondent.
"Any arguments against it can
be knocked down,” he said.
Adams came to Alaska for a
brief tour of the territory. He is
accompanied by his wife, who is
editor of U.S. Lady, a magazine
for service families.
They came here after visits to
Fairbanks, Nome and Kotzebue
and left today for Juneau and
Ketchikan.
Adams is working out details
of a tour to Washington under
direction of the Alaska Statehood
Committee.
Senator-Elect William Egan of
Valdez and Rep.-Elect Ralph Riv
ers of Fairbanks will leave Con
stitution Hall at the University
of Alaska about Dec. 10. They will
drive via Seattle to the nation’s
capital, in cars decorated with the
Alaskan flag.
Ex-Gov. Ernest Gruening, who
was elected to the other Alaska
Tennessee plan “senatorship,” is
already in Washington.
Egan and Rivers will meet with
Gruening and Congressional Del
egate Bartlett on arrival and make
some plans for presenting their
credentials to Congress.
The Rivers-Egan cross-country
tour will include a swing into
Tennessee, which was the first
state to follow the plan of electing
members to Congress in advance
of statehood in the hope of speed
ing up their statehood legislation.

diamond, took a Florida break j
yesterday from film chores. |
“I may never work again,” Miss

flew to Miami from New York.
Last night they attended a
southern premier of “Around the
World in 80 Days,” a Todd pro- ■
duction. They said they hoped to |
get a “few days of rest” in the
Miami area.
Todd, 48, said he did not know
when he planned to marry Miss
Taylor, 24. “She hasn’t asked me
yet,” he added. He called his gift
“a friendship ring.”
