49th and 50th State
Governors Meet in Tokyo
TOKYO — U.S. governors
of the 49th and 50th states of the
union meet in Tokyo Tuesday to
renew acquaintance and “warm
up” their long-standing friend
ship.
Gov. Wm. Egan of Alaska and
Gov. John Burns of Hawaii met
at the Tokyo Hilton Hotel, the
latest luxurious hostelry dotting
Tokyo’s skyline.
Egan is winding up a 16-day
visit to Japan as guest of the
Japan-Alaska Pulp Co. Burns is
passing through Tokyo enroute to
Manila and Hong Kong. He spent
last night in Tokyo.
Burns later told newsmen his
acquaintance with Egan began in
1957 when he threw his support
behind Alaska’s effort to become
the 49th State in the union which,
he said, eventually “opened the
statehood door for Hawaii” to be
come the 50th State.
Burns said they also exchanged
information on each other’s re
cent activities as governors of their
respective states. •

; Seattle-Whittier Railcar
Barge Under Construction
SEATTLE — Seven railcars
1 are enroute south from Seward
to prepare for operation of a new
Seattle-Whittier railcar-barge, Pu
get Sound-Alaska Van Lines said
Monday.
The 30-car, 312-foot car-barge
is under construction in Portland
at a cost of more than $600,000,
the line said. It originally was
scheduled to start operation June
1. That start now has been set
back to July 15.
The car-barge evidently is the
Crowley Tugboat interests' answer
to the Alaska Steamship Co.’s ef
fort to operate the trainship City
of New Orleans from Seattle to
Whittier. Puget Sound-Alaska now
gives weekly service between
Seattle and Seward.
The car-barge would provide
service every three weeks.

7 Boy Scouts Die
As Truck Plunges
Over Enbankment
HOLE-IN-THE-ROCK, Utah W>—
A truck loaded with Boy Scouts
plunged down an embankment in
remote desert country Monday,
killing seven Boy Scouts, four of
their leaders and a woman re
porter.
At least 28 were injured, some
critically. Two of the young Scouts
who escaped unhurt had to walk
four miles before they found a
farmer to help them and spread
the alarm.
It was about two hours before
sheriff’s officers could get to the
scene in south central Utah about
200 miles south of Salt Lake City.
They found some of the victims
still pinned beneath the 2Vfe-ton
truck, others lying about in shock.
“I didn’t have any brakes,” said
the truck driver, Stephan Ahlborn,
23, of Provo. Not seriously in
jured, he was taken to a motel
room by officers and held in se
clusion at nearby Richfield.
There were 47 persons in the
truck, headed for an Explorer
Scout boat trip on the Colorado
River. The passengers included 35
Scouts, ranging in age from 14
to 17.
