“Use Atom Bomb
Or Stop Drafting”
HELENA, Mont., (/P) — Two
members of a county draft board
who don’t want to draft any more
men until the atom bomb is used
in Korea were asked to resign
yesterday by Gov. John W. Bon
ner.
He called their position “akin
to mutiny.”
Chairman B. R. Taylor of the
Roosevelt County board said it
wouldn’t refuse to draft any more
men. Bull he said “We don’t think
it is very sporting to let a few
thousand men fight a million en
emies.”
And board member Bert Flo
man declared that “as long as we
have the atom bomb, for Heav
en’s sake let’s use it. There is no
use to let our boys suffer while
world politicians play for power.”
Taylor said that “We were ap
pointed by the President and we
don’t think Bonner can do any
thing about it.”
Mrs. Don Travis and son Bobby
have left for Ashland, Oregon,
where they will spend the holi
days with relatives.
GOP Senators To
Ask Resignation
Of Secy. Acheson
■■ ■' — ■
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Republi
can Senate leaders decided yes
terday to let all GOP Senators
i pass upon a formal request “for
; the resignation of replacement of
Secretary of State Acheson.”
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) chair
! man, told reporters this was the
1 decision of the Seante GOP policy
committee.
Tafe said the 11-member policy
| committee, after an hour and a
j half closed-door session took no
direct action itself.
Instead it agreed to call a con
ference of all 43 Republican Sen
ators early next week, probably
Tuesday, for a discussion of the
oust-Acheson move as well as the
broader subject of foreign and
military policies.
Even if the Republican Sena
tors agreed to back the demand,
there is no assurance it would be
met. President Truman has said
repeatedly he has no intention of
letting Acheson go.

To Introduce New
Statehood Bill
January Third
(Continued from Page One)
governor. /
Bartlett quoted Butler as saying
he believed such a law “should
be the first step toward state
hood.”
Bartlett countered that he stood
“for an elective Governor plus
many others things,” -adding:
“If, as now seems likely, the
Alaska statehood bill is not pass
ed by the United States Senate
during the short session, it will
not be because the bill has been
r voted down.
“Instead it will be because fili
bustering tactics prevailed.
“As the debate has gone on
during last week, it has become
more than ever apparent (that if
time permitted both the Alaska
and Hawaii bills would be voted
upon and both would be passed.
“To compromise for an elective
Governor and an elective Gover
nor only now would be to admit
that statehood was finally de
feated.
“That I cannot do because the
facts indicate that instead of be
ing lost, statehood is in a much
stronger position than ever.”
Bartlett said that even if a Gov
ernor were elected under Butler’s
proposal Alaska would continue
under “federal authority (over
the Territory) to which Alaskans
have objected over the years.
“It is those controls which have
proved most onerous and have as
much as anything else prevented
the proper development of the
Territory.
“I should not think thousands
of Alaska fishermen, who look
hopefully toward statehood be
cause it would give their owndo
aal government control over the
fishery, would be at all satisfied
with a measure that permitted
them to elect a governor but left
unchanged the situation in re
spect autonomy over fishery re
sources.
“A starving man cannot be ex
pected to be content with a slice
of bread when the entire loaf is
within reach.”

As Senate-House conferees ar
ranged to meet, all advance indi
cations pointed to a 75-day ex

with inclusion of a provision sim
plifying decontrol procedure.
The Senate version, passed by
a vote of 55 to 28, provides for a
