Statehood Official Urges Approval Of Referendum

hood referendum in October a no vote will postpone indefinitely any possibility iof Alaska's be- coming a state; on the other hand, a yes vote will not auto matically commit Alaska to statehood, but will merely pave the way for setting into motion the machinery necessary for fur ther consideration both by Alas- kans and Congress.
 Thus were the arguments in favor of statehood emphasized by Mrs. Evangeline Atwood, president of the Alaska State hood Association, of Anchorage, in a speech Tuesday before the local Rotary club.
 The association of which she is president, she pointed out, is solely a fact-6nding body, neither for nor against statehood, and to attain it's objectives has hired George Sundborg, author of Opportunity in Alaska, to make a 2 months survey of all the aspects of statehood as ap- plying to the Territory.
 Speaking, however, as a priv ate citizen, she urged yes vote this fall to "give us an opp0r- tunity for looking further into the possibility of freeing our selves from innumerable federal bureaus and regulations" /" It IS hard to conceive" Mrs. Atwood said, Chow any true American, and least of all our individualis- tic Aiaskans, would answer no to the question Do you favor self government?'"
 If the referendum should carry it would still be years before statehood would be reached through passage of an enabling act by Congress, which would provide for a constitutional cOH- vention to draw up a const'tu- tion to be submitted for approv- al to the vote of the people.
 After Congress shows what Alaskans can expect in the way of natural resources and pTev,- slons for self-government, and after Alaskans s udy the kind of self-government as outlined by the proposed constitution, then, the speaker said, would be the time to consider a no vote II the enabling act and constitution were to be unsatisfactory.
 In describing the opposition to statehood, Mrs. Atwood said the interest of absentee ownership and control, including fisheries and fur traders and miners, are opposing statehood as they have
 done historically in the past. She
 cited the opposition to civil gov ernment after the purchase ot
 the Territory; opposition to the i first orgamc act; opposition to providing a delegate to Congress | in 1906; and opposition to ths ] (continued on page 9

FourScorlet FeverCoses Here
 Waterbury Mas
 Second Largest
 Number in State

Waterbury had the second largest number of scarlet fever cases among leading cities of the state, according to the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. Five occurred in Hartford and four in this city.
 Seven cases of diptheria were re- ported in Beacon Falls, two in Naug- atuck, and one in Waterbury.
 Dr. E. J. Godfrey, local health of- ficer, today said that the number of scarlet fever cases is not alarming, since Bridgeport also reported three.
 Though the spreading of diptheria in Naugatuck and Beacon Falls ap- pears to be checked, Dr. Godfrey said today that local residents continue to fear a spreading of the disease here. He advises that all children be immuni7ed, if not by the family doc tor, then by local health clinics. He had also urged that children be taken to doctors for administration of the Schick tests. The health officer has consistently pointed out that it is unlikely that diptheria would spread rapidly in this city because more than 70 per cent of the children have been immunized against the disease.
 Other than the one case of dip- theria and five cases of scarlet fever, no other cases of communicable ill., nesses were reported to the state health department during the past week.

 Club Today
Club Today

Miss Vivien Kellems, Westport manufacturer, speaking before the Rotary Club at its weekly monday luncheon meeting at the Elton to- day asserted that Connecticut in- dustry, facing a brilliant future in the postwar era, will suffer through the zoning commissions which are prohibiting factories from being es- tablished in one town after an- other. She predicted that unless the practice is checked promptly, in- dustry now sorely tempted to move westward by many advantages of fered by other states, may make a general exodus.
 More Liberal Views
 Charging that decisions of zoning commissions are made naively and blythely, Miss KellemS said she was in favor of zoning, but the zoning law, noble in purpose, is now rapid ly degenerating into racket.
 What are We going to do about it? I haven't all the answers but fortunately Governor Baldwin has
