SEATTLE, Oct. 16-(P)--Republicans today considered demands for a government boycott of cheap-labor foreign goods and a protest against "concealed attempts" by the United Nations to govern American fisheries.
These proposals and others with a western tang were placed before an 11-state Republican regional conference called to work out vote-getting strategy for the 1952 elections.
The resolutions committee, headed by George Hansen of Salt Lake City, recommended that the party's national platform also:
Support immediate statehood for Hawaii and allow Alaskans to elect the Territorial Governor, now appointed by Washington.
Oppose the Valley Authority method of river basin development because it would put almost unlimited powers in the hands of appointive officials.
Favor U. S. return to the gold standard.
Conference delegates turned to the resolutions after a heavy round of speechmaking themed to why the Democrats should be kicked out of office--and how.
Governor Arthur B. Langlie of Washington, said the country just can't stand another four years under a Democratic regime.
There was a touch of harmony yesterday when western members of the Republican National Committee voted confidence in the honesty and integrity of Chairman Guy Gabrielson.
