Aleuts Want
Civil Service Jobs
WASHINGTON, f/P)—'The 500-■
odd seal-catching Aleuts of Alas
ka’s Pribilof Islands want to be
civil service employees instead of
government wards.
The interior department, which
administers their work, approves
of the idea—in general terms, at
least. It has asked the civil serv
ice commission for a ruling.
The Pribilof Islands are the
summer-time home of about 80
per cent of the world’s fur seals.
In 1910 the U. S. Government
took over the management of the
herds, then growing scarce. Under
its control the seals have increas

From East to West, from moun
tain to hill,
Wo find our cities built by Amer
ican skill,
We have our beaches, our lakes,
our playlands,
Wo have our factories, our mar
kets; our farmlands.
We have a city built of an enor
mous height,
A city whose environment is a
glorious sight,
The George Washington-spread
ing far o’er the Hudson Bay,
The Empire State—tallest build
ing today.

Erected as a tribute on Bedloe’s

Is the Statue of Liberty, standing
firm and sound,
A symbol of peace and freedom
o’er the land,
A symbolic truth we all under
stand.
We have buses and subways that
travel like a deer,
We have planes and trains whose
safety is without fear,
We have boats for the oceans and
cruisers for our lakes,
We have these facilities that ev
eryone can take.
I live in a lapd that’s making his
tory today,
A land that’s governed in the
American way,
A land that’s progressing in more
ways than one,
A land where achievement is be
ing won.
A land of freedom for each one of
us,
; A land of victory when the call is
a MUST,
A land whose power is everlasting

.Hawaii Convenes
Convention
HONOLULU, i/P)—Gov. Ingram
M. Stainback told 63 men and wo
men who began writing a State
Constitution yesterday that “the
time has come” for Hawaii to be
admitted to the Union.
Addressing the Constitutional
Convention which will have Ha
waii’s basic laws ready if the
United States Senate follows the
House in approving Statehood,
I Stainback said:
“A Territorial government is a
transitory one, tolerable for a rea
I sonable period, but should be en
dured no longer than is necessary
to show that the people of the
Territory are loyal citizens of the
United States and capable of self
government. That time has come.”
The Governor added to the 29
Republicans, 21 Democrats and 13
non-partisan delegates:
“Your aetion here will largely
determine whether statehood will
be granted now or be further de
layed. I have every confidence
you will meet this test.’
Republicans captured most of
the convention offices and put
Samuel Wilder King into the
presidency.
Democrats protested futilely a
plan to elect four vice-presidents.
They wanted one—with a Demo
crat holding it to offset a Repub
i lican presiding officer.
But the plan for four carried
and the Republicans placed three
to one for the Democrats.
There were Dmocratic charges
of “gag rule.” “machine politics”
and “Republican power play."
A land I call—my own U. S. A.
