 On Siaiehood

A piqued House of Representative received failed to pass" report from the Senate Saturday after noon on the House Joint Memorial No. asking Congress for statehood and immediately bounced the report back to Senatorial laps with 6 please reconsider"
 The memorial, authored by Repre-. sentatives McCutcl1eon and Hanford passed unanimously by the House asked for Alaskan Statehood witf but one reservation = that the Territory be given complete con- trol of all it's hesources."
 A House attempt to include pro- visions for referendum of the peo- pie in Alaska on the question oi statehood had failed with a House belief such would be requested any way by Congress.
 This fact. coupled to the fact the Senate already has statehood ref Ierendum bill authored by Senator Walker apparently caused the House measure to go it's way to tht morgue

 The Senate was to take action tc- day on the reconsideration.

 ABOARD A U s. HOSPITAL SHIP RETURNING TO TWO. LIMA Marines are very tough. I found that out on this trip that carried un- concerned Navy doctors and nurses 50 close to Two Jima that it look ed as though I could have tossed a 'ock onto the beach.
 There was no whimpering aboard, even the worst cases were more in crested in what happened on shore han in their own wounds. Many were not badly wounded. Miss Wiley said in broadcast from the Pacific, We carried 600 wounded, and of these, 20 died on the way. eight were buried at sea. It was impressive and made you want to ,ry and grab up a gun at the same ime." There were 20 Navy nurses aboard.

SEN. C. COLLINS
 pREpARE5 FOR
 P0RT FLYING
Legislator Wilt Pilot and Guide for Hunters
 and Fishermen

A soon as he has finished follow ing a true course past legislative perils, Senator Grenold Collins straight-flying junior member of the Territory's upper house, will lay an air-course for his Anchorage home in his own plane. Senator Collins is now in the throes of assembling a Stinson Re liant" seaplane. which he purchased Outside and which has just recently been delivered to him in Juneau In moments off from legislative duties, the Third Division Senator heads for the Pan American Air ways shops to put in a personal lick at the assembly of his aircraft. He and Mrs. Collins will fly to An chorage in the ship at the close o1 the session.
 Senator Collins has also just re- gently passed his examinations for a Registered Guide license and plans to make use of his plane mainly for
 
 sports charters. Easing at Anchor age he will make use of his 20 years experience in nearly all outlying sec tions of Alaska to act as both pilot and guide for hunters and fisher men.
 As his plans in the sporting field are necessarily mostly postwar, the former warden for the Alaska Game Commission plans that his newly organized air service will fly what ever charter trips are available in the interim.
 Senator Collins has been more places in the Territory than most anybody, first as navigator on a trading vessel plying the Boring Strait and Arctic Ocean, later by dog team and plane as far ranging representative of the game commis- sion. [. Jack O'Connor. Game Supervisor for the Fish and Wildlife Service. says of him: He's one of those persons who never get lost"

Young women want four children

inst your family and your de

|desire for a four children family was
discovered by Guy Irving Burch. And
Mr.. Burch ought 10 know what he is
talking about-he is the director OF
the Population Reference Bureau at
Washington. His conclusion was
based on a study of families in all
|partS of America.
Detroit evening times., 1945-12-09

All of the answers were much the
same. The women / talked TO would
like larger families if--such as:
/. IF they could find suitable liv-
ing quarters.
q IF living were cheaper.
3. IF they could get good house
hold help.
4. IF country homes, with modern
conveniences, near New York were
available at fair prices.
5. IF they could save enoug h
to pay for their education at college.
Soft the Washington statisticians
furnish the n neceSS SSary amount OF
money and houses and governesses
and maids, along with their statistics,
maybe the family of four will come
And what, actually, is happening
The results are none too optimistic.
High school graduates have an aver
age Of one and three-quarters chill
dren, while parents who have had
very little schooling average four.
During the depression Of the early
thirties, there was a deficit Of 100000
marriages. Marriages increased after
1888, and after 1941 that deficit was
evened up. For couple Of years,
then. il scared above normal but
came down during 1914 and 1945.
The birthrate has followed the
marriage chart-a continual rise in
this country from 1933--a record baby
crop Of three million year. From
1893 10 1914, first births increased
25- per cent, second births 20 per cent,
third births held their own, and four
births decreased Is per cent.
Four years ago. when Mr.. Burch
made similar Investigations, he found
that only one-fourth of the women ne
interviewed wanted four children
but the number who want larger
families is increasing.
There's another bright spot. Early
marriages are increasing. More
women are having children during
their twenties-the safest period.
The National Resources Planning
Board doesn't believe that women will
have four children apiece-thus turn
ing the birthrate back TO pioneer days.
The board estimates that by the yoar
20O0 there will be an average Of less
than two children per family.
Large families arc fine. No one
disputes that. But they are great
luxury. today. Maybe the women who
want large families are also hoping
that the children will arrive r.ch
