Confident Senate
Will Vote On
Statehood Bills
(Continued from Page One)
pared by Senator Butler (R.-Neb.),
ranking minority member of the
committee, also is expected to be
presented to the Senate during
the coming week.
‘Statehood for Alaska and Ha
waii I regird as a major aspect
of American international policy,
for the passage of these two mea
sures wiH indicate better than al
most anything we can do that the
policy of the United States is to
foster and establish self-govern
ment by peoples everywhere with
out regard to distinctions of race
or color,” O’Mahoney said. “Ac
cordingly I shall continue to press
for early consideration of these
bills.”
The committee report on the
Alaska bill reviewed the terms of
the legislation and said it believ
ed the bill has the support of the
majority of the citizens of the Ter
ritory.
It said Alaska occupies a stra
tegic position in world affairs
and an important place in nation
al defense being only 54 miles
from Soviet territory. It said that
strictly speaking statehood will
not change the military situation
in the Territory and that its peo
ple would defend it just as com
pletely under Territorial status as
under statehood.
“It is a military axiom,” it con
tinued, “that a populous area with
a developed economy, and a stable
citizenry and political institutions
is a bulwark against invasion
militarily and psychologically . . .
“Alaska and Hawaii are the
only remaining incorporated Ter
ritories under the American flag
which have not yet achieved his
toric destiny of incorporated Ter
ritories, namely statehood,” the
report said. “The present measure
and a similar bill for Hawaii,
would complete the historic pat
tern.”
It said Alaska “is ready and
qualified for statehood now. . . .
“It therefore earnestly recom
mends that the Senate take affir
mative action on this measure
which is a major plank in the
platforms of both major political
parties.”

Benson Asks Local
Labor Be Used On
Local Projects
i _
Henry Benson, Territorial Com
missioner of Labor is here for a
few days on business from his of
fice in Juneau.
He states that he finds that a
certain section of the law pertain
ing to hiring is not being followed
by employers in the Territory,
and calls attention to Section 34,
Chapter 2 (a) which states. \hat
all employers must notify em
ployees in writing at the time of
hiring of the day and place of pay
ment and rate of pay. Failure to
comply involves a maximum of
$1,000.00 fine or a year in jaly.
Approved forms for employers
will be available at The Nugget.
He urges the community to take
steps advocating the use of local
labor in the military projects
which will soon be getting under
way in this area, as several hun
dred men will probably be needed
on construction. He stated that
this work should not be given out
to imported labor when the peo
ple here need it so badly and that
there are plenty of workmen qual
ified in the area to do the job.

ply for the time being. I’m not
licked yet. If I have to, I’ll wait

DIMMER HONORS WOMAN'S
DIVISION HEADS
9
•
From the speakers table at the
dinner given last Friday honoring
the heads of the Woman’s Division
of Christian Service of the Meth
odist Church, Mrs. Frank Brooks,
president of the organization, took
the group on a talking tour of
countries all over the world where
Christian women are working. In
almost eloquent manner she told
of the Christian women of Korea
and their eagerness to learn more
of Christian way of life, and how
hard it is for them to get this in
formation while high powered by
communism on all sides; she told
of the Women of Germany today
and their despair for improved
conditions for themselves and
their families; of the dislike of
Americans in France due to com
munistic propaganda against our
country* She explained that al
though this organization of women
is the biggest women’s organiza
i tion in the world with over one
and one-half million members,
more are needed to carry on the
work of sharing and fellowship
with the less fortunate women of
other countries. One startling
statement made was that there
are now over seven millions more
women in Germany than meh,
meaning that women of that coun
try must carry the load of ad
ministration.
A lovely dinner was served
and placecards were made by
Robert Mayokok. The dinner in
cluded songs by the Native Sister
hood and toastmistress was presi
dent of the Woman’s Society, Mrs.
Earl Clark.
Mrs. Carrie McLain gave a his
tory of church work in Nome
since the gold rush days.
A presentation was made by
Bertha Fiscus of Nome Cook
Books to the guests and an ivory
gavel to Mrs. Brooks.
Mrs. Emma Willoya was inter
preter for the Native group.
