La. Senator
Against Statehood
For Alaska, Hawaii
WASHINGTON, OP)— Senator
Ellender <D-La.) says he will vote
against statehood for Hawaii and
Alaska.
“I do not think that either Al
aska or Hawaii should become
states,” Ellender asserted in a
speech recorded for broadcast in
New Orleans last night. “Their
interests are not common to ours
and their people, especially in the
case of Hawaii, are quite differ
ent from our people.
“Such difficulties may be over
come, but I am not yet convinced
that these two territories, hun
dreds of miles away from the con
tinental limits of our country,
have reached a state of political
maturity sufficient to merit our
adding a 49th or 50th star to our
flag.”
Bills to admit Hawaii and Alas
A. F. McIntosh, operator of the
tin mines near Teller, arrived yes
terday enroute to his camp to
start operations for the coming
season.
Legal Planks at The Nugget office
ka to statehood have passed the
House and are awaiting action by
the senate insular affairs commit
tee.
Ellender said that in Hawaii
“recent difficulties with commu
i
nists highlighted the great gap
between the island and the Am
, erican continent.”
“The economy of Hawaii is to
a large extent controlled by its
shipping industry, ’ he continued.
“And its shipping industry is con
trolled by the international long
shoremen’s union, notorious for
its communist affiliations.
“When Hawaii has been purged
of these elements it will be in a
far better position to seek state
hood.”

service.
| “Such operations must, to a
j certain degree, be competitive
, with , and divert traffic from, the ■
.certificated (regularly scheduled)
carriers operating over the same
routes,” the Board said.
It noted, however, that the air
lines “apparently have not, and
uncertain and unpredictable de
probably cannot, fully satisfy the
mand for air transportation which
is being met by some of the large
iirregular (non-sked* carriers.”
i The special operations consist
| of charter flights for groups, busi- |
ness and emergency flights, some- '
times to points not on air routes.
The decisions on permits were j
the first in a preceding covering |
96 applications for formal per
mits. Until now, all such opera
tions have been under extension i
of a general grant which the
- Board cancelled last June 20.
The first permits went to John
] son Flying Servie, Missoula, Mont., j
| and Capitol Airways, Inc., in I
, Tennessee. The 11 denials were
based generally on finding that
the applicants have not been op
j erating under the authority they
j already had, and so no need for
the proposed service was shown.
Denials will be effective in 30
days unless appealed.
The only Pacific northwest firm
among those denied permits was
' Consolidated Air Lines, Seattle.
It was one of nine denials based
on lack of operations or failure to
own or control aircraft.
! In his Seattle statement, Hea
cock said:
“All independent air carriers
that are making any money now
are operating outside the law as
j interpreted by the CAB. It is im
possible for us to conduct our op*
erations on the eight-trip four
week formula.”
Heacock said his firm, Air
Transport Associates, averages 6
Alaska flights a week. He said
“coach’ fares by the regular
schedule lines has driven out non
skeds which operate less fre
i quently.
“The CAB has violated its oath
of office by destroying, instead of
j developing, civil aviations,” Hea
cock declared.
“The Board’s aim is not regula
tions, but extermination of the;
air lines that >ed the industry to
lower coach fares, to an air j
freight market, to agricultural la
bor movements and other new |
fields.”
He said the independent air i
carriers conference “will now ap
peal to the courts of the nation
and to public opinion to right this
wrong.” /)

WASHINGTON, (#)—'The Su
preme Court today stood pat on
its refusal to review the contempt

The U.S. court of appeals in up
holding the contempt convictions
declared Congress may ab
freedom of speech and fre<
to remain silent “when legisl
to avert what it believes t
a threat of substantive ev
national welfare.”
The Supreme court by a
vote on April 10 denied La

of appeals decision. The H

tribunal to reconsider its ref
