STORK KEEPS DOCTOR BUSY: REWARDS HIM WITH
 EIGHT POUND DAUGHTER

This was Baby Week" for Dr. John O. Bangeman, local physician and surgeon, at Bishop Rowe Hos pital in more ways than one.
 The well known old Stork zoom- ed the roof-top three times and on each flight Dr. Bangeman found himself handing the nurse a new bundle of pink and white atomic babyness.
 The old bird started the weeK out bright and early by leaving a seven pound ten and one-half ounce son addressed to Mr. and Mrs Carroll Hamley at 6.58 a. m. Monday morning The little fellow has been named Leslie Harold and the proud father is a local fishing boat operator
 The following afternoon at 4:4I D. m.. SWoopie Stork revved up his beak and Dr. Bangeman reached the hospital in time to deliver Patricia Ann Martin, seYen-pound daughter, to MT and Mrs. Sidney Martin.
 It was around noon yesterday came the pay-off. Dr Bangeman saw Swoopie Stork making a regul- ar P-3S flight up Third Street. He rushed to the hospital, delivered an eight pound ten and three-quarters pound girl and when he looked at the label, found her consigned to pr. and Mrs. John 0. Bangeman, Wrangen, Alaska" Soft chuckles could be heard through Swoopie Stork's Days of '9S" beard as he opened all jets and zoomed sky ward again.
 Dr. and Mrs. Bangeman have named the little girl Johanna Louise and from all appearances, Dr Bangeman appeared well pleas ed with Swoopie's gift.
 Maternal grandparents sharing in the happiness of the new arrfv- al are Mir and Mrs Harry Wayne of Missoula, Montana. Paternal grandparents are MT. and Mrs. w. H. Bangeman of La Junta, Colo.

feeling is that Congress has gone too far from a constitutional stand point. Under the Act of August A, 1912, the Organic Act of Alaska, Congress vested Alaska with the status of an incorporated territory and, among other things, granted it the power to raise money by To- cal taxation to own property, etc. It follows that local tax monies raised by territorial tax laws with in the powers granted by the Or ganic Act are monies of the Terri of the Territory of Alaska and, therefore, owned and held by a congressionally established corpOr- ate entity. That is why l say that an act of Congress attempting to transfer funds heretofore appropri- ated by the Alaska Legislature to a Federal official is carrying the plenary power too far and constl- , tutea an eX-appropriation of pro perty without due process of law and in violation of the fundament- al tenets of our Constitution"
 So, while the Department of Ag
 riculture figures out new ways to try and get the mitt in the Terri torial treasury, our prayer might well be: " Oh Lord, give us State | hood, but not Dr. Lambert's kind. !" l * * * *

them praised the heroic defenders
of Israel, wished the new state
success, pledged support on our
part as Americans, and commend
ed the United States for prompt

pointed that DIR. Weizmann was
not there, and / know that many
others felt the same way about it..
The entire rally lasted four
hours and at the end, many of the
young people seated near the
stage, climbed up on the platform
and danced the Horah around Drs.
Silver and Neumann and the other

1t was still raining as 1 came

crowded around the sOundtruckS in
the streets where, according to
police reports, 5000 people had
stood all evening and listened to
the speeches. $4,000 people were
turned away from the Garden.
Yes, many great speeches were
made on the weekend of May a.
16, and many great words of wis
dom were repeated. Perhaps the
greatest words of them all were
those of the ancient prayer of
SHEHECHEYONU, for now we
truly meant it when we said,
BLESSED art thou, o Lord, our
God, King of the universe, who
hast kept us in life, and hast pre-
served us, and hast enabled us to
reach this day" . And I for
one, am thankful that I was there.
