Suggest Alaska
Vote Again
On Statehood
WASHINGTON, UP)—The rank
ing Republican on the House In
sular Affairs Committee proposed
Alaskans be given another op
portunity to vote on the question:
do you want immediate state
hood.
Rep. A. L. Miller (R-Neb)
made his proposal before the
House Rules Committee as it took
up the Alaska statehood bill at
a brief morning session Thursday.
He asked the committee to
send the bill to the House floor
under a procedure which would
permit his offering an amend
ment calling for a “plebiscite not
all tangled up with the Tennes
see plan or fish traps.”
Many statehood supporters con
tend Alaskans indicated their sup
port for statehood by electing an
unofficial Congressional delega
tion—a plan used by Tennessee to
push its bid for statehood. The
question of fish traps figured in
the same election.
Miller noted he had offered
his proposal for an Alaska vote
on statehood in the Insular Affairs
Committee but it had lost by a
tie vote.
He said Alaskans have not had
a direct vote on statehood since
1946. He recalled a poll which
he conducted through Alaskan
newspapers and radio stations
last year and said it brought
1,394 letters against immediate
statehood as compared with only
522 affirmative votes.
Miller said he was a bit sur
prised at the results of his poll
in view of his findings on two
trips to Alaska for hearings on
the statehood question. No one
appeared in opposition to state
hood at those hearings, he said.
But he said Alaskans who op
pose statehood “won’t testify be
cause they don’t want to be
jeered out of it.”
To oppose statehood in Alaska,
he said, “is a little like being for
sin and against motherhood.”
Miller said he plans to vote to
admit Alaska to the union.
Chairman Howard Smith (D-Va)
of the Rules Committee, an
avowed statehood opponent, said
he thought the suggested state
hood vote in Alaska was the way
to solve the question, pointing
out that enactment of a state
hood bill by Congress would be
irrevocable.
Miller al9o suggested the pos
sibility of a tax moratorium to
Alaska to help it through its
problems in the early stages of
statehood.
But Smith, who had raised the
question by saying Alaskans now
pay high territorial income taxes,
said he thought Congress might
be more interested in giving con
stituents a moratorium “on our
own taxes.”

Title of House
Sold For Judgment
: Returned To Widow
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Iff) — Mrs.
Juanita Malin had title to her
home again Thursday, and only
one question remained unan
swered—who put up the money
for its return.
The 39-year-old widow, mother
of nine children, had lost her
deed through a sheriff’s auction
held to satisfy judgment for a
$69.90 grocery bill. Sheriff Frank
McDonald returned the deed to
her Wednesday but he would
not say who put up the money to
redeem it.
Mrs. Malin started a furor
three weeks ago by announcing
her $10,000 house had been sold
for $150 without her knowledge.
An investigation disclosed that
Morris Esche, 30, a Purdue Uni
versity student, had bought the
house and two others a year prev
iously and had taken title after
expiration of year allowed own
ers to redeem them.
Esche agreed to turn back the
deeds in return for his costs and
expenses in purchasing them,
which he set at $1,425.65.
Several persons offered money
to help redeem the homes, but
McDonald said contributions were
not used to pay Esche. Along
with the deed, the sheriff gave
Mrs. Malin $63 in contributions
he had received.

Secretary of Labor
Favors Tax Cut
WASHINGTON, UPl — Secre
tary ef Labor Mitchell said Thurs
day he feels the administration
will have to decide within 30 to
60 days whether to recommend
a tax cut.
Mitchell told a news confer
ence that while the recession
seems to be leveling out, he sees
no solid improvement ahead.
He said that once a decision
is made that further anti-reces
sion remedies are needed he fa
vors a tax sl/sh as the most ef
fective step.
The Labor Secretary put it
this way:
“If there is a bolstering of the
economy necessary, then, as op
posed" to any other form of gov
ernment action, such as a large
scale public works program, I
would favor a tax cut.
