gument would be heard Friday on
the Nazi leader’s plea to escape

A letter from the Alaska State-j
hood Association in Anchorage,
Alaska to Antonio Polet is quoted
in part as follows:
“Our purpose at this time is to
encourage the formation of Alas
ka Statehood associations through
out the Territory not primarily
to advocate statehood, but rather j
to finance a plan whereby we can j
get some of the questions ans- j
wered relative to the pros and
cons on statehood for Alaska.
We have been informed that a |
capable student of Alaskana and
political science could be made
available to us for a four-month
period to make an authoritative
research study on statehood for
Alaska, if we could raise the nec
essary funds for such a project.
Our plan to meet this oppor
tunity is to organize local chap
ters, membership in which would
require payment of a five dollar
annual dues. When these organi
zations have been perfected, a
central committee or board com
posed of representatives from
these organizations would meet
in convention and elect officers,
who would carry out the wishes
of the individual groups..
It is important that these or
ganizations be set up at once, as
the research student will be avail
able on January first. We will
have to be ready to take advan
tage of this opportunity then or
we will lose it.”
Mr. A. Polet would like an ex
, pression. Talk, phone or write if
1 you would favor to become a
member.

Suite For Gen.
MaeArthur
NEW YORK. Nov. 28 — i/P> —
Colonel Lawrence “Biff” Jones,
West Point athletic director, re
vealed that he had engaged a ho
tel suite in Philadelphia over the
week-end for General MaeArthur.
“I did it just to protect the
Army Athletic Association in case
the General does show up at the
last moment for the Army-Navy
game.” Jones said “We’ve had no
definite word from him. All we
have to go on is that he has not
been home since nineteen thirty
seven, that he’s the best rooter
the Army team has got, that he’s
coming home soon, and that he’s
certain to do his best to arrange
his homecoming in time to see
our club play Navy.”
In pre-war days, the ratio of
dentists to population was about
