ATFL STATEHOOD TEApARTY TODAY
 TURNS INTO FLOP

In a valiant effort to attract at- tention to Alaska's statehood de- mands, 46 Territorial officials, pro- fessional labor union officials. un- employed carpenters, their families photographers and a few others, raised a 50 starred American Flag this forenoon on the flag pole at the Governors House.
 A scheduled parade from the Ju- naau AFL Hall ended up with three autos making the drive to the Governors House where Acting Governor Lew M. Williams raised the flag with its five rows of ten stars each to the top of the mast
 Williams predicted that the State- hood bill will win favorable action in the U. s. House ot Representa- tives. At the conclusion of his brief speech and much picture taking, the group filed into the Governor s House where Mrs. Gruening served coffee.
 Those in attendance appeared ig- norant of the courtesies due to the national colors. When the official U. s. Flag was run down from the flag pole by It. Comdr. Edward P Chester, Jr., no one removed their hat or stood at attention as is re quired. However, when the 30 starred unofficial flag was raised. everyone did remove their hats despite the fact that this emblem is not the of- ficial flag of the United States.
 The 50 starred flag, which in- cludes both Alaska and Hawaii, was made by Mrs. Maude Hamlin It was scheduled to fly over the Governors House all day today.
 The Statehood Tea Party, spon- sored by the Alaska Territorial Fed eration of Labor, had called all Of organized labor in the Territory to stop work for a one hour period but no such action was evident in Ju- neau.
