Seaton's Stand. Interior Secretary Fred Seaton helped mightily to promote statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. But during Alaska's own election campaigns. Seaton's razzle-dazzle campaigning got a cool reception, largely because he was regarded as the voice of the federal "absentee landlord" in Washington.

...poor second in voter polls to Jánio Quadros, the shaggy reformer from São Paulo who recently accepted the nomination of the conservative National Democratic Union (TIME, March 9). If Lott stays out of the race, he will have the demanding job of keeping army tempers cool during the fiery heat of a Brazilian campaign. He frankly believes that "besides defense, the army has a great responsibility for national unity and social order...
