Roxy Skohelska,
Displaced Person
Reaches Anchorage
EY'ERETT, </P)—Roxolana Sko
belska, 24, the first person to come
to Alaska under the displaced per
sons admittance act, paused here
briefly Monday on her way to
Anchorage.
The attractive 24-vear-old Pol
•h Ukrainian left Monday night by
Alaska Airlines plane for the Alas
ka city.
Miss Skohelska, born in Vienna,
said that she and her parents were
living m eastern Poland when that
country was partitioned in 1939
between Russia and Germany. Her
father was a priest of the Greek
Catholic church. After the parti
tion they moved to western Po
land. Shortly afterward her father
died and they returned to Vienna.
Miss Skohelska said she would
decide after her arrival in Anchor
age whether to go in for vegetable
growing or dairying. She said she
had a decided preference for
dairying. There’s a reason. She
never was able to satisfy her crav
ing for milk during the war years.

Bartlett Confident
Of Statehood
For Alaska in 1949
'Continued from Page One)
er, “that the Senate hearings on
the bill will be short and that it
can be enacted quickly.”
The Delegate said more people
in the Territory favor Statehood
now than in 1946, when they voted
for it in a referendum.
The Delegate said he also will
introduce on the opening day a
bill to abolish fish traps in the
Territory. A recent referendum
there was ten to one in favor of
such legislation.
The bill would abolish the traps
gradually, over a ten year period.
“Federal control of our fisher
ies,” he said, “has been a ghastly
failure and it is high time that
the people of Alaska who get their
livelihood from fishing have
something to say about how our
fisheries are handled.”
Bartlett said he expected the
fish and wildlife service to ap
prove the measure since the refer
endum was so overwhelmingly for
abolishing the traps.
He said he also will make an

1940, and September 2, 1945, may
apply to the VA for new insurance
if none was held while in the
armed forces. These veterans must
pass an insurance physical exam

force.
Veteans who previously held G.
I. term insurance but have allow

months also must take a physical

their policies. The physicals may
