Committee Sends j
Open Letter To
Washington, D. C.

“In fact, the Congressional pol
icy is almost an invitation to in- j
vasion and attack.
“Is this to be another Munich?
“Apart from this the United
States professes to be the torch i
bearer of democracy in the world
today. It is scarcely consistent with
that profession to permit our only
two American incorporated terri
tories under the flag, in the case of j
Alaska for 82 years, in the case
of Hawaii, for 51 years, which
have fulfilled all the requirements
for statehood, to languish any
longer in an inferior state of so
lonialism.
^ “The people of Alaska and Ha- j
waii have a right to demand that
our democratic professions be car
ried out and that the Americans
dwelling in those areas be admit
ted to full citizenship. Particular
ly have they the right to demand
that a handful of men in Congress,
in the House of Representatives,
shall not prevent the issue from
coming to the floor on a vote.
“A recent nationwide newspa
per poll indicated clearly that a
very substantial niAnber, probab
ly a majority of the members of
the House of Representatives, fa
vor statehood.
"How can the leadership justify,
in a democratic state, denying the
■ membership the right to express
itself? Such action might be ex
pected under a totalitarian tyran
ny, but not under a government by
consent of the governed.
“Failure to allow these state
hood bills to come to a vote we
consider nothing short of a be
trayal of American principles
, which we are proclaiming and for
which we are seeking adherence
throughout the world as against
the policy of suppression and dic
tatorship characteristic of the po
lice state. *
Right Or Wrong,
Truman Will Keep
Military Aide

to be “fumigated” before he re
enters the White House.
The reporter wanted to know
what the President thought about
that.
It was then that Mr. Truman as- ;
serted that the committee hearing J
was being held at the Capitol and
it would not be continued at the
White House.
The word that Vaughan would
stay on as the President’s aide
came when a reporter asked Mr.
Truman if he contemplated any
change in army aides.
The President said: “I do not.”
Vaughan, in be-ribboned sum
mer uniform, was standing behind
the President at the meeting with
reporters.
Broadcasters To
Fight FCC Ban
NEW YORK, </P)—The Ameri
can Broadcasting company has
started court action to upset a fed
eral ban on radio give-away
shows.
The suit is the first of several
expected to be filed in the broad
casters’ battle against a federal
' communications commission order
against the prize programs.
The ban becomes effective the
first of next month.
It would knocl^ off the air most
of the jackspot shows which award
some $5,000,00 a year in merchan
dise and cash to lucky listeners
and contestants.
The Columbia Broadcasting Sys
! ten, and the National Broadcast
| mg company have announced they
also will bring court actions chal
lenging the ban.
ABC, in its suit filed Wednesday
in federal district court, asked
that the commission’s order be set
aside.

Legion Convention
Hard At Work;
M any Resolutions
w
_
PHILADELPHIA, Legion
naires, wanning up to the election
of a new national American Legion
commander, gave unanimous ap
proval yesterday to the Legion’s
self-help plan to bring new jobs'
and industries to America’s cities.
The Legion’s 31st annual con- ,
vention approved a resolution
backing a self-help plan “based on
the initiative of the people in their
own communities without reliance
on the federal government in solv
ing unemployment problems.’’
Under the proposal, town and j
city councils would confer with in
dustrial and civic leaders and pool
their resources on a community i
plan. It is a key point of the Le
gion’s 1950 domestic program.
The election of a new command
er was the main item of business j
on the last day of the four-day 1
convention.
The Legionnaires howled down
with a booming chorus of “noes”
a proposal by George Nicholas of
Miami, Fla., that the Legion go on
record as opposing a federal bonus
for World War Two veterans at
i this time.
The convention voted an in
.
I crease of 25 cents per capita in
i 1950 dues, effective October 1. to a
j total of $1.25 a year.
Resolutions adopted included
one urging Congress immediately
, to admit Alaska and Hawaii to
Statehood.
One wife—How do you get
money out of your husband?
Another wife—Oh. I say I'm go
ing back to mother and he imme
diately hands me the fare.”

Truman Says His
Entire Program
Will Be Passed
WASHINGTON, oP»—President
Truman said yesterday the war of
nerves between commun.-t and
democratic governments is very
decidedly slackening off.
He expressed a sincere hope that
this war will end in surrender just
as the shooting war did.
Then, he told a news conference,
everybody could get in the mood
for peace, the United Nations
would work as it should, and he
hoped generations of world peace
would follow.
Asked to explain what he meant
by hoping the cold war would end
in surrender, the President re
plied he meant just what he said.
He would not elaborate, but no
body had any doubt about which
side he hoped would surrender.
Mr. Truman’s remarks were in
response to a request for com
ment on the tenth anniversary of
the start of World War II.
Turning to domestic matte s the
President repeated a prediction
that his program will pass—all of
| it-—by the time the 81st Congress
j ends next year.
He said the first sess: >n is not
over yet and no one can draw any
conclusios until the 19.10 session
is finished.
Mr. Truman said ne is pleased
over the Senate’s action in defeat
ing an appropriation j 1 rider
which would have requi c i him to
cut all appropriations I've to ten
per cent.
He said the rider was absolute
ly the wrong way to go about
achieving economy and the Senate
did the right thing in turning it
down.
