Statehood Only Solution" Says Bob Atwood

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Robert B. Atwood, chairman of the Alaska Statehood committee and publish CT of the Anchorage Times, issued the following statement Monday in commenting on last weeks fa- vorable House vote on Alaska Statehood:
 House approval of the Alaska Statehood bill is naturally a cause of jubilation among all Alaskans. It is milestone in Alaska's con tinual struggle for self-govern- ment, and great step forward in cutting the shackles of remote con- trols which have frustrated growth and development these many years.
 Russia found administration of Alaska from Moscow impossible, so she sold Alaska to the United States. This country has tried with equal unsuccess for 82 years to do from Washington what Rus sia couldn't do from Moscow.
 (Statehood is the only solution as it will establish local controls that will enable Alaska to develop her resources to the glory of her self and the entire nation. Favorable and prompt approv- al of Statehood in the Senate is essential to the national interest so that Alaska can fulfill her des- tiny as an integral part of the na- tion's economy, instead of being

 In Kansas, two traffic fatalities were blamed on dust clouds. Al Garden City in western Kansas visibility and ceiling was reported at zero for 30-minute period.
 The dust brought back memo ries of the "black blizzards" of the 1930s because it started blowing so early in the year. However, it is not anywhere near as severe as in 1885 and 1886 when dust storms destroyed thousands of acres or rich cropland and ruined count less farmers.

Secretary of State Acheson al

The British, who received the

implied approval. however, a
British Foreign Office spokesman
said Britain regarded Mr.. Schu-

He said Britain long had been
anxious to find a solution to the
age-old fued between Germany
and France. The plan is intended
to do just that.

Preliminary ToIks Held
On Furnishing Large

By the Assoeiofed Press

United States military officials
are considering the idea that this
country should arm it's North At
lantic allies with atomic bombs.
Discussions are in the prelimi-
nary stage. and the military au-
thorities are still far from a
recommendation on which the
President might base a proposal
to Congress.
The idea of placing atomic
bombs within reach of Britain,
France and other allies is being
explored thoroughly. however, and
military arguments are develop
ing both for and against it.
Advocates contend that some
way must be found to arm West
ern Europe faster and cheaper
than is possible with conventional
weapons.
They argue that the job must
be done in two years. the earliest
time by which it is estimated
Russia may have a stockpile of
atomic bombs adequate for a
major blow in an atomic war.
The proposal for A-bomb shar-
ing, friends of the idea say. calls
for a revolutionary concept of
Western defense. In brief this
concept calls for replacing many
expensive ground troops in Eu-
rope with bombing groups supplied
with large arsenals of lightweight
atom bombs.
Advocates say such a plan could
be put into effect quickly and at
far less cost than conventional
defenses. on which they argue
Russia would like to see the West
spend its resources.
The nearness of atomic supplies
also might deter the Russians
