Pleas For Alaska,
Hawaii Statehood
- /
WASHINGTON, </P)—Pleas for
statehood for Hawaii and Alaska
were made at a special luncheon
meeting yesterday of the Wom
en’s National Democratic Club
honoring the territories and pos
sessions of the United States.
Delegate Farrington (R-Hawaii)
said the admission of Hawaii as a
state would be a major step in re
storing confidence in the United
States among the peoples of the
Far East.
Delegate Bartlett (D - Alaska)
coupled his petition for statehood
with a plea for strengthening the
defenses of Alaska.
“Alaska is not now defended
adequately,” Bartlett said. “Our
progress in building up our de
fense establishment there is piti
fully slow. The great ne£d is
troops and housing for those
troops.
“It is easily possible that if an
enemy were to seize our great
airports in Alaska he could bomb
our industrial plant out of exis
tence. Round trip flights could be
made from these Alaska bases to
the industrial heart of the United
States.”
Farrington said American pres
tige in the Far East “has suffered
seriously in the five years since
the end of World War II.”
The task of restoring confidence
in American leadership connot be
achieved by armed force alone,
he said.
“It must be achieved by acts
that will convince the people of
the Far East that we, are in earn
est in our beliew in the principles
of democratic government — self
determination, government by the
consent of the governed, no taxa
tion without representation, local
self government,” he continued.
Mrs. Oscar Chapman, wife of
the Secretary of Interior, presided
at the luncheon.

Alaska Received
$2^47,914 Federal
Social Security Aid
JUNEAU —The people of Alas
ka have benefited from Federal
funds amounting to $2,247,914
during the fiscal year 1950 under
the health, education and social
security programs of the Federal
Security Agency, according to a
summary released today by (Dr.
Jack C. Haldeman, deputy region
al director of the Federal Security
Ageny for Alaska. Operation of
these programs is described in the
forthcoming Federal Secu r i t y
Agency annual report for the fis
cal year ended June 30, 1950. The
highlights of thees operations are
given in the Administrator’s Re-.
port, just issued by Federal Se-j
curity administator Oscar R. j
Ewing.
By June 30, 1050, 1,400 residents :
of Alaska were receiving pay- i
ments under the Federal system of
old-age and survivors insurance
at a rate of $26,000 per month.
This is a Federal program admin- j
istered by the Bureau of Old-Age!
and Survivors Insurance of the j
Social Security Administration.
The system provides a monthly (
income for workers in private in- j
dustry and commerce and their j
families when the worker retires
at age 65 or later, and for the de-,
pendents of a worker who dies, j
Monthly benefits certified for
payment to retired workers, their
wives, and their dependent chil
dren in Alaska during the fiscal
year 1949-50 amounted to $191,-1
000. Monthly benefits to survivors
of insured workers totaled $87,000.
Thees payments went to children,
widowed mothers, aged widows,
and aged parents of deceased
workers. In addition, lump-sum
payments toaling $21,000 were
made to survivors not immediately
eligible for monthly benefits.
The 1950 amendments to the
Federal Social Security Act pro
vided that beginning October 1,
1950, more Federal money will be
available to State to aid depend
ent children.
Of a total of $22,777,725 of Fed
ex al money paid to the States and
Territories in the fiscal year 1949
50 for health and welfare services
to mothers and children, Alaska
received approximately $231,437
to help build up its maternal and
child health, crippled children’s,
and child welfare services.
Alaska received $103,950 in
Federal funds to carry out effec
tive measures for the prevention,
tratment and control of tubercu
losis in the Territory. An import
ant part of tuberculosis work, the
making of mass X-ray surveys to
discover the disease in its early*
remediable stages, was made pos
sible through grants-in-aid. The
Territory was further assisted
through the Public Health Service
by consultation service, loan of
personnel, demonstrations of pho
tofluoragraphic units in the field,
and the development of clinic and
nursing services.
Federal funds expended for con
trol of venereal disease in Alaska
amounted to $26,972 in the fiscal
year 1949-50.
Other grants to the State for
public health services included:
$6,087 for cancer control; $7,000
for mental health activities; $12,
457 for heart disease control; and
$9,212 for industrial waste studies.
The largest encampment in the
Western Hemisphere was held in
1950 when 47,163 Boy Scouts and
leaders held their National Jam
boree at Valley Forge, Pa.
Farthest North units of the Boy
Scouts of America are a Troop
and Explorer Post of Eskimo boys
at Barrow, Alaska, sponsored by
the Town Council.
Since 1910, more than 17,750,000
American boys and men were ac
tive in the Boy Scouts of America.
