Donovan, New York City Democrat, to day recommended common wealth status for Hawaii rather statehood.

In a strong-worded attack on the Hawaiian statehood bill Donovan asked the house to substi- ute for it one giving political status similar to the Puerto Rican commonwealth. TIIE DEMOCRAT, whose dis-rict includes many Puerto Ricans, hailed the new status as giving the island home-rule. Hawaiian Delegate Joseph Harrington promptly replied "we will take nothing less than state hood." Donovan brought up the issue in questioning Chairman A. L. Miller of the house interior and insular affairs committee on state hood for Alaska and Puerto Rico.

"I WANT AN 'answer on state hood for Alaska and the reply is a liat no," ne said. "Alum seems to be the word on statehood for Puerto Rico." Donovan posed similar ques tions to Leroy Johnson, California Republican representative who was urging support of the Hawaiian statehood bilL He asked Johnson first if he favored statehod for Alaska Johnson said he didn't think Alas ka was ready for it. Donovan then asked: "HOW ABOUT Puerto Rico. If Puerto Rico comes in and asks statehood for its 2,500.000 persons, and the eight or ten house mem bers to which this would entitle them, what will be your posi tion?" Johnson said he didn't know enough about the Puerto Rican situation to answer. He said he would have to wait and face the issue when it arose.

Donovan then proposed that Hawaii receive a status modeled on the commonwealth constitu tion congress authorized fpr Puerto Rico last year. "PUERTO RICO now enjoys a new status under the aegis of the United States government similar to the relations between England and the crown dominion of Canada," he observed. "I think the statehood bill should be laid over so that serious consideration be given to grant- ing commonwealth status to Ha wan." Frederic R.

FROZEN FOODS DOWN 5 it ran r- 11 TH Measure Southern Democrats, Some New Yorkers Opposed on Racial 9 Minority Issues WASHINGTON, March 9 (UP) The house opened debate on a Hawaiian statehood bill today with Republican leaders confident they can heat down opposition from any un usual coalition and send it to the White House by April 1. In the first of debate. southern Democrats pointed out that Caucasians are in the minority in Hawaii. They charged that admitting the mid-Pacific islands as the 49th state would "result in new political philosophy." LEADING OFF supporters of the measure. Chairman A.

L. Miller of the house interior committee appealed to the Democrats not to block passage in an effort to force action on Alaskan statehood. Democratic house whip John W. McCormack (Mass.) had warned that he and some others will try to send the Hawaiian bill back to the interior committee in an ef fort to force consideration of statehood for both Hawaii and Alaska. Part of the controversy centers around the fact that Hawaii is traditionally Republican and Alaska traditionally Democratic.

The southern Democrats denied that "racial considerations" had anything to do with their opposition. DESriTE TIIE house fight, senate Republican leader Robert A. Taft said after a White House conference that he and house Speaker Joseph W. Martin. (R-Mass.) told President Eisenhower they expect the house to pass the bill by Tuesday night.

Taft said he hopes to et the bill through the senate and on the president's desk by the first of next month. Mr. Eisenhower has asked for speedy approval. He has said he does not know whether Alaska is ready for statehood. Southern Democrats applauded almost unanimously when Rep.

Martin 'Dies (D-Tex.) charged that admission of Hawaii eventually would result in a "minority of the people" controlling the He Alaska, the Virgin Islands nd Guam also would want statehood. KEF.

Simply stated, Institutions' difficulties add up to this: Thomas B. Vance estimates he needs $10,290,377 for the ON OAHU OTHER ISLANDS 10e 20 PAGES fv t- 4 rr next two years, whereas the governor's budget recommends compared with estimated expenditures for the current bi-ennium of $7,946,390. ONE OF THE major difficulties, Mr. Vance said, is the increasing population of such institutions as the territorial hospital.

He said, for instance, that he does not believe the estimated average' population of 1,100 patients at the hospital for the next two years will hold true. Morale problems of a serious nature have been occasioned, he said, by the inability of putting Institutions workers on a 40 hour week as in other departments. Even a 44-hour which would cost an estimated three-quarters of a million, would be a decided improvement, he said. ANOTHER THING the Terri tory should have, he said, is an expanded narcotics program, backed by many community agefneies but deleted from the budget by the budget bureau. Also speaking tjefore the joint session of the senate ways and means committee and the house finance committee now in the middle of hearings on the proposed $101,000,000 governor's budget was Dr.

He said the hospital needs a bigger staff and more money for food and medicine, to bring it up to "min imum standards prescribed by the American Psychiatric association To go onto a 44-hour week, he said, he would need 22 more staff members. The question of personal services is the most serious, he said. ASKED TO STATE what he re gards as the most important thing to have, he said he even would prefer a 48 hour week if it meant additional employes of a classification to permit bettering of the (Continued on Page 6.

I lo Walsh Taken To Hospital For Surgery Will Be Confined At Least a Week; Judge Expected To Order Recess Today Hawaii's Communist conspiracy trial is expected to enter a long recess today while Chief Prosecutor John C. Walsh recovers from an emergency operation he underwent Sunday night. Mr.

Walsh was taken to Trip-ler army hospital Sunday afternoon and entered surgery that night. Doctors at the hospital said his condition is satisfactory but that he can have no visitors far a few days. He is not expected to leave the hospital for at least a week. TIIE SERIOUSNESS of the abdominal operation was not known when court recessed yesterday morning and Federal Judge Jon Wiig has called for argument to begin today on defense motions for acquittal. It is expected he will recess the trial shortly after court opens this morning at 10 o'colck.

YESTERDAY'S BRIEF session was spent in final argument by all four defense counsel on their motions to have about one-half of the government's evidence stricken from the trial record. The motions, if granted, would whittle away much of the testi mony and most of the books introduced as evidence against sev en Islanders accused of conspir ing to violate the Smith Act. The defendants, who were ex cused from last week's argument, were all in court yesterday pre pared to hear the beginning of the defense move to have them judged innocent without sending the case to the jury. THE DEFENDANTS are Jack Hall, Charles K. Fujimoto, Mrs.

Eileen T. Fujimoto, John E. Reinecke, wight James 'Free man, Kou Anyoshi and Jack D. Kimoto. The argument yesterday was directed at the government's an swer to the original day-long defense move to have the evidence stricken.

Churches May Be Investigated ByRedProhers WASHINGTON, March 9 (UP) Chairman Harold H. Velde (R-Ill.) said tonight his house un-American activities committee may investigate the "extent of Communism" in the nation's Churches and Communist "in filtration" of the clergy. "WE ARE ENGAGED at pres ent in investigating the extent of Communists in the colleges for the benefit of the colleges themselves and the people and we would be doing the same thing in relation to churches," he said. Velde said the investigation would "probably include indi vidual members of the cloth, including some who seem to have devoted more time to politics than they have to the ministry." BUT HE INSISTED that any such investigation would not be taken as retaliation against ministers who have attacked him and the committee for the current inquiry into Communism in higher education. Dr.

A. Powell Davies, widely-known Washington Unitarian minister who recently called Velde Amorally unfitted" to investigate American education, retorted that Velde meant his. statement "as a sort of a threat."

The cases will be heard by Circuit Judge Ronald B. Jamieson. Plaintiff is Ferdinand J. H. Schnack, Honolulu born attorney and property owner who lives at 1815 Kewalo St.

HE HAS BROUGHT one suit on nis own oenaii. une suit is filed on behalf of Mr. Schnack's brother, George, naming 10,560 square leet oi property on Nuuanu one on behalf of Mr. Schnack's son, A. naming property at Maunakea and Queen and the last suit on behalf of Harry Men Chang and others, with two pieces of property on the mauka waikiki corner of Alakea and Hotel Sts.

To put through the program the city-county levies an assess ment on property within a proj ect area and condemns certain pieces of land for use as parking lots. MR. SCIINACK contends that this assessment is illegal and unconstitutional and the parking project is not a public but a private benefit. His action is brought under the legal heading of action to quiet or remove a cloud from a title. The assessment is a lien on the property.

John Albert Matthewman, special city-county counsel, asserts that Mr. Schnack already had brought an action to halt offstreet parking and was deieated in a court test. MR. MATTHEWMAN, former circuit court judge, himself heard the case in 1950. Mr.

Schnack then brought a suit seeking to enjoin the city-county from carrying out the parking project. Judge Matthewman ruled against Mr. Schnack. The territorial supreme court, hearing the appeal, backed Mr. Matthewman up.

Mr. Matthewman claims that Mr. Schnack used the same arguments in the old suit that he uses in the present one. Mr. Schnack contends that if the offstreet parking rrojects were in the hands of nrivate en terprise he wrould take a differ ent view of them.

He said tha Palo Alto, Cal. started an offstreet parking program with an assessment against the land, bu that money collected from parking meters went into paying off bonded indebtedness. "ULTIMATELY THE property owners won't pay anything," said Mr. Schnack. "The land is the security.

Samuel Wilder King meanwhile said he still hasn't got his new cabinet completely worked. out. Public Lands Commissioner Norman Godbold announced with a blast at "pressure tactics" that he will resign "in the near future." The statement ended speculation in some quarters that Mr. Godbold, in view of his recent confirmation, might try to fight it out with the new governor. BUDGET DIRECTOR Paul Thurston's courtesy resignation was accepted yesterday so that, as the governor said, he "might have the privilege of reappointing him myself." Mr.

Thurston will be sworn in at 10 a.m. today by Associate Justice Ingram Stainback of the territorial supreme court, who first appointed him to the budget post. That there will be a clean sweep of all Democrats now holding department head assign ments, Gov. King made clear. He said his cabinet will include representatives of all major racial groups and that every man must "above all" be a Ttepublican, along with being competent to handle the job.
