Former Senator
George Bender
To Visit Alaska
WASHINGTON, ltf>—Ex -Sena
tor George Bender of Ohio, who
now promotes travel and trade
with Alaska and Hawaii as a spe
cial assistant to Secretary of In
teroir Seaton, hopes to make his
first visit to Alaska within the
next 30 days.
While there, Bender said he
hopes to “see everything I can,”
but no definite itinerary has been
laid out. A similar trip to Hawaii
will follow, he said.
Bender’s position was created
early this year to promote trade
with and travel to U.S. territories
and possessions, but he said his
“principal concern at the moment
is with statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii.”
He said he has written letters
to every member of the House
and Senate, and to political lead
ers of both parties down to the
county level, setting forth the
statehood planks in the Republi
can and Democratic platforms.
In his contacts with Congress,
Bender said he also has canvaised
individual thinking on the state
hood question. And while he de
clined to give specific figures, he
said he believes chances for state
hood are “pretty good.”

dunked it in a bucket of water.

the potential force of a one-ton j

or severely damaged three or four

ably failed to go off because of a |
faulty fuse. The inside of the bag j
was scorched, indicating the fuse |
had been lighted.

‘Confidential’
Defense Makes
Final Argument
| LOS ANGELES (JV-The defense
! in the Confidential Magazine
criminal libel trial, claiming that
the movie industry raised a $350,
000 “war chest” to attack the
(magazine, says the money should
be used instead to clean house in
Hollywood.
Atty. Arthur J. Crowley, mak
ing his final argument to the jury,
said the Hollywood studios should
spend the money in a campaign
to “clean out your homosexuals
and nymphomaniacs and dope
fiends.”
He .said that “for 30 years Hol
lywood has winked at homosexu
ality.”
And the defense attorney ac
cused the prosecution of “sacri
ficing freedom of the press on the
altar of expediency to cover up
people who walk around this
town like they wear the purple of
ancient Rome.”
