House Committee
Approves Alaska
Statehood
(Contined from Page One>
sage the governor of the Territory
shall call a constitutional conven
tion composed of elected repre
sentatives which will draw up a
constitution. It is required that
this work be done in 90 days.
The Constitution then would be
submitted to the voters of the Ter
ritory and, if ratified, forwarded
to the President, who would issue
a proclamation making the Terri
tory a new state.
The bill proposes to admit Alas
ka on the same basis as Arizona
and New Mexico were admitted to
the Union. It provides the new
state would have control of its
fisheries, now under federal con
trol. and would give to the new
state approximaaely 42,000,000
acres of land for use in raising
funds for schools and other activ
ities.
During the Hawaii statehood
hearing yesterday Rep. Mansfield
(D.-Mont.) urged approval of
statehood for both Territories.
He said he would “like to see
the stranglehold of Seattle busi
ness interests broken in Alaska.”
i WALRUS CLUB
I
The Order of the Walrus met in
| the City Hall Wednesday evening
for a very busy and interesting
meeting.
Following regular routine busi
ness, it was announced that James
Jennoy, a soldier from the air
base, won the weekly $50 milk
fund prize.
Floyd Pauwok, who was elected
to vice-presidency in the Order,
made an excellent, sense-making,
speech of acceptance and took his
seat with the council.
Sgt. John Holmes and Gordon
Osborne were appointed a com
mittee of two to meet with the
Nome School Board and City Po
lice to work out a school-boy traf
fic control system such as is used
in other cities and towns. The!
necessary equipment for the “jun
ior officers” will be furnished by
the Order o£ the Walrus.
A letter from Jack Reed of Me- \
Grath, formerly of Nome was
read. He asked for membership in
the Order of the Walrus, and sug-1
gested the possibility of starting a
group in McGrath. His member- j
ship was approved and his sug- j
gestion for a club seriously con- ;
sidered.
Sgt. Wilear is the newly ap
pointed Base Publicity Agent.
