The Joy Of Being A Jew

.Bureaucrats' and have denounced
 the ineptitude of both. Therefore. II suggest that the people of Alas ka should, and do, ardently desire statehood unless economic Or other considerations still prevent the ac- complishment of that ambition. We all know that We can do a better job of taking care of our own af- fairs than can be done by some Secretary of a Department, or Chief of an Agency, or head of a Bureau, whose office is in Wash iLgton, D. C., and who necessarily is lacking intimate first hand knowledge of a country so far a. way from Washington as Alaska. In fact, unless we have a firm be- lief in the principle of local self government a belief that we are eager to transmute into action. there is no reason why we should not join with the many people of the world who have yielded to the seductive ease and the personal lack of responsibility for govern ment involved in a dictatorship.
 So the question really is wheth- CT Alaska is ready to undertake statehood, ready in every respect. socially and economically.
 As to the social aspects of state hood, I am unable to see even the slightest vestige of any real ground for opposition. Alaska is as truly American as any state in the Gnion The native people, Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians, are as good and loyal citizens as can be found in the whole nation So far as am aware, the present war, with all it's turmoil, has not developed a single instance of disaffection 5a the part of any native Alaskan. The remainder of the population of Alaska is equally devoted a n loyal to our government and to the high principles on which it is es- tablished It seems probable that tke citizens of Alaska exhibit tue best cross section of the citizenry of the States that can be found anywhere. Many of them were born in the Territory and most of the others have come to Alaska from all the States of the Union, and from foreign countries where

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA
BY AnthonY ]. Dimond

In principle, it ought to be easy for all of us to agree about state hood for Alaska. Unless We are willing to abandon our historic positions, we are bound to demand statehood at the earliest practic- able time. The whole form and fabric of our free government IS based upon the assumption that people can govern themselves in better fashion than they can be governed by anyone else And as a result it follows that the largest possible powers of self-goyernment should be exercised by every com- munity and by every political sub division, leaving only to the su- preme governmental authority that part of the government which af- fleets the whole state or the whole nation. and thus cannot be eXer- cised by local communities Or pol itical subdivisions
 In Alaska we have often com plained of the long-range govern ment from Washington which in many respects is the only kind of government possible under our ter ritorial status. We have disparag- ingly talked about Bureaus and
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19

the aspirations and ideals of demo- cratic government are firmly fixed in the hearts and minds of the cit izens I have not heard of even one case of espionage or sabotage on the part of any citizen of Alaska during the war and I know if any such eases have arisen, they are few indeed in number, and, there fore, no question can possibly exist as to the loyalty of Alaskans as whole to the "self-evident truths" upon which our government is founded.
 Fortunately, too, in Alaska as in most frontier countries, we have little if any of the deadly and re- pellant virus of race hatred or re- ligious prejudice. Every individual in Alaska is esteemed for what he or she is In Alaska people are judged by their conduct and not by accident of race Or choice of creed This is completely as It should be, and ia this as in other aspects Alaskans are true to what we may justly consider the funda- rental ideals of our national exis- tence.
 Economic Aspects
 Coming now to the economic as- pects of statehood we are confront ed at the outset with the argument that Alaska is not ready for state hood because of sparseness of pop ulation. The 1940 census shows a total population of Alaska of p 524. of whom 32 45S belong to thel native peoples, Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos. All signs indicate that the population of Alaska is con- siderably larger now than it was in 1939-40. While comparisons sc!- dom are completely dependable as a basis for action, it is deserving of note that even in 1939-40 when the last census was taken, Alaska had within it's borders more per manent residents than were pos sessed by several of the territories at the time they were made states of the Union. The following is a list of these territories having few CT residents upon the coming of statehood, as shown in each case by the last preceding census, than had Alaska at the taking of the census in the winter of 1999-40:
 Missouri, 6,586; Illinois, 55 2ll; Oregon 52,288; Nevada, 6,857; Wyoming. 62,549.
 It may be pertinent to note in this connection that when admit ted to statehood Idaho had pop ulation of S6,541 and several other territories had fewer than 100000.
 Nevada Considered
 May I invite your attention par ticularly to Nevada At the census of 1860 Nevada had population of 857. The Territory of Nevada

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE spec
tacular winning streak of the Bos-
ton Red sox was snapped at is to-
day, four short Of the American
League record. as burly Tiny Bon
ham pitched the New York Yankees
to a two-hit victory, to 0.
Bonham was such a complete
master of the situation as he moved
down the formidable array of Bos-
ton sluggers inning after inning that
in the late stanzas the crowd of
1926, including 52,011 paid, seemed
aware that the slightly tainted run
the home club scored in the third
inning and Tommy Henrich's home
run into the right-field stands in
the fifth would be enough.
With the game devoid Of the
spectacular, aside from Bonham's
pitching, the crowd aimed its vocal
blasts primarily at Ted Williams, the
Red Sox's great slugger who for the
second straight day went hitless.
1t was an unfortunate day for the
lanky left fielder. In addition to
being called out on strikes with two
on bases in the third inning, his
play on Hank Majeski's high, lazy
fly was directly responsible for the
first Yankee run.
Heinrich Drives In All Runs.
Majeski, first up in the third,
lifted the ball along the left-field
foul line. Williams numbered over
after it, stopped and stood uncer-
tainly, then let it fall safely for a
three-base hit. He had lost it In
the sun.
Heinrich, who took the siege gun
role from Joe Di Maggie and Charley
Keller today with three rousing
blows, including the four base wal
lop, brought Majeski home with a
sharp double to right center after il
appeared Tex Hughson would wea.
ther the threat. Hughson, who al.
lowed only five hits until relieved
by Dave Ferriss at the start of the
ninth, famed Bonham and George

through.

With the exception of williams
temporary sun blindness it was a
tight-felding game, with Phil Riz-
zuto coming through with some
sparkling play at shortstop, and the
rival center fielding brothers, Dom
and Joe Di Maggie, giving fine ex-
hibitions. Neither could connect at
the plate, however.
One of the Red Sox's two hits was
off the glove of Nick Etten, first
baseman. 1t followed the only clean
blow off Bonham, a sharp single by
Hughson, and it set the stage for
Williams strikeout to end the threat.

After the third inning. not a Bos-
ton player reached first base except
Di Maggie, who got on via a walk in
the fourth.
Hughson went out for pinch-hit-
ter in the eighth. Ferriss was nicked
for the sixth Yankee hit in the ninth
when Heinrich lashed out his third
safe blow with two down.
It was the fourth defeat for the
Red Sox and the second time they
have been shut out. Bobo Newsom

Harvard Takes Meet
With WEIGHT Wins

HANOVER, N. H., May 11.-Domi-
mating the weight throwing events,
the Harvard track team piled up
SO 5/6 points to defeat Dartmouth,
Pennsylvania and Yale today in q
quadrangular track and field meet.
Dartmouth scored 515/6 points,
Pennsylvnia 43 and Yale 1926.
Going into the final event of the
day, the broad jump, Dartmouth
needed a first, third and fourth to
capture the meet. Chuck Mathews
of the Indians fouled to lose third
place to the Yale entrant, enabling
the Crimson to finish in front.
Jack Fisher of Harvard won the
hammer throw with a toss of 161
feet, 6 inches, while his brother, Will
Fisher, took the discus throw with
