A DOG ATTENDS THE
FUNERAL OF A FRIEND
Among the mourners Saturday
of A1 Carey, who¥was a great dog
lover, was a pure-bred English
Setter. During the eulogy, when
everything was quiet; silently and
proudly down the aisle, came a
beautiful English Setter to pay his
last respects to a friend—one of
the last great dog mushers of the
North. Bidding him a last silent
farewell after fifty years, as he
was crossing the Last Unknown
Divide. (Contributed)

Korean War Calls
For Statehood
TACOMA, (tf>—Rep. Hugh; Mit^
chell (D.-Wash.) believes the Ko
rean situation necessitates the im
mediate approval of Statehood
for Alaska.
“Alaska is America’s “Achilles
Heel” today because it is so piti
fully underpopulated and under
developed,” he told a dinner meet
ing of the Pacific Northwest Al
lied Printing Trades Council.
“As Lt. Gen. Nathan Twining
says, you can’t defend a vacuum.
Statehood is the one way to fill
this vacuum. By ending the Terri
tory’s second class status people
and industry will be be induced to
migrate northward.”
Mitchell said Russia has built
large industrial cities in northern
Siberia to buttress her striking
power in the Pacific. ‘Korea,” he
said, “is a graphic reason why we
must match her strength.”
