KNOWLAND OPPOSES
COMBINING ALASKA
AND HAWAII BILLS
WASHINGTON, UP) — Sen. Wil
liam F. Knowland (R-Calif) said
Thursday he will vote for state
hood for Alaska. He reiterated
he will oppose any move to com
bine the Hawaii and Alaska
statehood bills.
The Senate Republican leader
added he will continue to do
everything possible to get a Sen
ate vote on a separate Hawaii
statehood bill this year.
Knowland told a news confer
ence he believed tying the two
bills together would mean the
defeat of both.
“I think that by one coming in
eventually the other will come
in.” he asserted.
Knowland said he could not
predict the result of an effort to
join the two bills, but he said he
was sure of enough votes to de
feat the move if the Democratic
Senate leadership would promise
to take up the Hawaii individ
ually this session.
Thus far, however, Knowland
said he has seen no determina
tion by Democratic leaders either
to call up the Hawaii bill, or to
break a filibuster which he said
undoubtedly would develop on
the Hawaii statehood issue.
Sen. Lyndon Johnson has an
nounced plans to call up the
Alaska bill within about 10 days.
He said Hawaii statehood would
be delayed until the House acts.

U.S. Must Take '
Drastic Steps To
Win Cold War
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., UP) — De
fense Secretary Neil McElroy
predicted the United States may
be forced to take drastic steps
to keep ahead in the cold .war
“even if this means a more
spartan life for our people.”
Great peacetime sacrifices may,
and probably will, be called for,
McElroy told the Harvard Alum
ni Assn.
“Certain it is,” he said, “that
j the test of our social order is
| the most serious we have ever
faced. It is based not alone on
the making of arms, but on a
truly phenomenal economic and
industrial growth in the Sov
iet Union, plus an equally prodi
gious development in the field
of education. Jn all of these
areas, Russia reached the position
she is in today because she
worked harder at it . . .”
U. S.* Intelligence Services es
timate that by 1962 the growing
Soviet economy will be producing
half of what we do now, McEl
roy said.
But that does not tell the whole
story, he explained.
“It’s what she does with her
output that’s important. For in
stance, less than half of it gets
into the hands of the Soviet citi
zens in the form of consumable
goods and services. By contrast,
over two-thirds of our total pro
duction .reaches the consumer.”
This sort of competition puts
certain “hard choices” up to the
American people, McElroy said.
These involve defense spending,
foreign trade, help for underde
veloped countries—and education.
In this latter field, he said, the
problem is to find a better way
to marshall our intellectual re
sources, to make “optimum use
of the intellectual capabilities of
our people.”
“Parents will have to contrib
ute more money—through taxes
or contributions—for the kind of
educational program the country
needs money ( in the broad field
j of education than we are now
allocating.”
