—
SALT LAKE CITY, Iff) — Fol-:
lowing is the text of a resolution
adopted by the governors’ confer- s
ence urging statehood for Alaska.
“The people of Alaska have at

sire to achieve statehood. Alaska
is one of the two incorporated Ter
ritories of the United States which
statehood, following American tra
dition and precedent, is clearly in
dicated as their destiny.
“Alaska has been under the
American flag for eighty years i
and has therefore undergone a
period of preparation and tutelage
far longer than that of most terri
tories, before they achieved state
hood.
“The expressed wish of our own
fellow-citizens of Alaska is mere
ly the fulfillment of the moderate,
understandable, traditional and le
gitimate aspiration to achieve full
equality and responsibility in the
family of States and for self-gov
ernment according to the estab
lished American pattern.
Therefore, the governors’ con
ference hereby expresses its sym
pathy with the recorded desire
for statehood of the people of

shal at Fairbanks, on a charge of

Boldt was working as a carpen
ter at Bangor when the sheriff’s

Vote Western
Hemisphere Mili
tary Cooperation
WASHINGTON OP)—'The House
foreign affairs committee yester
day approved legislation calling
for arms standardization and mil
itary cooperation between the
countries of the western hemi
sphere.
The committee action limited
the United States expenditure to
$50,000,000 for a five year pro
gram.
Chances of the bill’s passage at
this session of Congress appear
slight in view of the drive for ad
journment by the end of next
week. The measure thus will
probably lie over for action early
next year.
Before stamping its approval on
the bill, the committee wrote in
an amendment to provide that
execution of the program must be
consistent with the United States
“good neighborhood” program.
Kenai Forest Fire
Swings South
Toward Kasilof
- f
ANCHORAGE, UP)—'The Kenai
peninsula forest fire, which turn
ed south after making a last stab
at the town of Kenai earlier in the
week, was advancing today tow
ard Chickaloon Bay and the town
of Kasilof.
A. F. Ghiglione, assistant super
intendent of the Alaska road com
mission, said swampland 10 miles
from Kasliof would act as an ef
fective barrier to the flames.
Two bulldozers were being used
in completing a new firebreak
around Kenai, in case the blaze
should threaten again in that area.
Dense smoke, which has blanket
ed the peninsula, forced ,a plane
: to halt the spraying of the swam
py area to control the mosquitos
which torment the fire fighters.
A reconnaissance plane was to
incestigate the area 20 miles
southeast of Kenai today for the
possibilities of starting a backfire.
