Welfare Office Will
Re Re-opened Here
The Department of Public Wel
fare wishes to inform the people
of the Second Judicial Division of
the progress being made in the es
tablishing of a District Welfare of
fice which will be set up in the
City of Nome. At the present time
u lease is being processed with Mr.
Lencer for office space effective
October 1, 1949. These prelimin
ary arrangements will facilitate
immediate occupancy when a Dis
trict Worker is secured, and will
avoid any loss of time in searching
for suitable quarters later on. In
the fnean time all case files and
records will remain in the Terri
torial Office in Juneau and the
business of the District will con
tinued to be cared for there under
the supervision of Miss Erma
Wainner, At present Mrs. Helen B.
Olson is representing the Depart
ment of Public Welfare as agent in
the City of Nome, and all requests
and inquiries should be made
through her.
The staff in the Nome District
Office will consist of one full
time Social Worker and a full
time clerk stenographer. The So
cial Worker in the Nome Office
will have the responsibility for the
administration and supervision of
the public welfare programs in
the Second judicial Division and
will supervise and instruct the 45
agents representing the Depart
ment of Public Welfare in the
other,areas of the Second Division.
Due to the scarcity of suitable,
qualified Social Workers through
out the country the recruitment of
a District Worker has presented
a difficult problem and it is im
possible to say definitely, or to
make any promises as to the date
when the office will open. Even
after appointment, a certain
amount of time will be required
for preparation for travel and or

, it will probably be after the first

The Department of Public Wel
fare is making every effort to se
cure a well qualified person; one
that will adjust himself readily to
the situations which exist and who
I will work well with people, ac
I cepting the climate and other con
ditions common to that area. A
1 number of very good applications
have recently been received in the
Territorial Office in Juneau and
ar being processed as rapidly as
possible. It is hoped that in the
near future the Centrol Office will
be able to announce to the people
of the Second Division, that a
worker has been secured and that
| the District Office will be opened
1 to serve the people of that area.
It is believed that a District Office
in N<>me will make it possible for
i the agency to extend a more com
! prehensive service to the people of
the Second Division and it will
bring the Department in closer
toch with the problems and condi
tions which exist in the various
communities.

Hawaii Strike
Settlement May
Bring Statehood
(By Charles D. Watkins)
'(/P) Special Washington Service'
WASHINGTON, (/P)—State hood
for Alaska and Hawaii early next
year—if the Hawaiian dock strike
is settled — was predicted yester
day by Delegate Bartlett.
• Bartlett said he believed that
both statehood bills will be acted
upon soon after the next session of
Congress convenes in January.
“The two bills are so closely re
lated,” Bartlett said, “that they
cannot be separated or acted upon
singly. If the Hawaiian strike is
settled I believe there is an ex
cellent chance we will get state
hood next year.”
Bartlett said the Hawaiian situ
ation “is another illustration why
statehood should be granted to the
two Territories.
“There is no doubt but that a
Territory has more difficulty in
ahndling a strike such as the pres
ent one than a State.”
He said the question of State
hood is uppermost in minds of
Alaskans.
“Our people have concluded

Russian recognition of the new

"The failure of Congress to act
upon the armed forces’ construc

“There $130,000,000 of construc

cause a House committee chair
man declined to have the House

"If Alaska had had voting rep

| The new regime has been recog
nized by Russian-bloc countries
besides the U.S.S.R.—Bulgaria and
1 Romania. Other satellites are ex
pected to take action soon, now
that the Kremlin nod has beer*
given.
In Washington, the state depart
ment said it will make no move
toward recognition without con
sulting Congress. London sources
said the United States, Britain and
France would assess the situation

In Bonn, capital of the new re
public, Chancellor Konrad Ade

In Berlin, a Soviet army news
paper endorsed the speedy crea
tion of a “national government” in
i Berlin by German Communists.
