INSTITUTE FORUM pR0p05E5 MENTAL
 HEALTH SECTION

Plans for inclusion of a section of Mental Health in the Alaska De- partment of Health program were discussed during the Mental Health Institute in session here since We'd nesday. The Mental Health pro- gram would be under the direction of the Alaska Board of Health and administered through the depart ment of Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, com- missioner of health.
 pr. Kent Zimmerman, psychia- tric constultant with the California State Department of Health, con- ducted the four-day institute which was attended by some 75 admins trative and supervisory staff mem- bers of the Welfare and Education departments, Alaska Native Service, and Veterans Administration in addition to Health department per- sonnel.
 Lack of facilities for treatment of Alaska's mentally ill was stressed in a study made last year by three special Interior department inves- tigators in which it was recom- mended that hospital and clinic care for mental patients be made available in Alaska.
 Dr. Zimmerman explained ways in which present Health staff members can carry on work in preparation for development of a comprehensive mental hygiene pro- gram in the Territory.
 Pointing out that the study and treatment of the mentally ill is one of the newest phases of medical science, pr. Zimmerman said Per haps it is well that you cannot have your new mental hos oital facilities for awhile-it will ve you time to lay groundwork ali be prepared to use them to the best advantage of the patients when such facilities become available"

OFFICIAL REVISION
 OF NEW STATE BILL
 ARRIVES IN JUNEAU

A committee print of the am- ended Alaska statehood bill, as ap- proved by the Senate Interior con- mittee, arrived today in the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening. and re- ceived a nod of approval from Territorial officials after quick glance through the new measure.
 Biggest change in the amended act, to go before the Senate the week of June 12, was in the grant, ing of lands to the proposed State of Alaska. The original bill grant, ed four sections of each surveyed township in the Territory.
 This entire section of the bill is rewritten, granting the new state no specific areas, but allowing 100000 acres from national forests; another 100000 acres from vacant public lands valuable for uses other than timber or mineral uses; and after five years, an additional 20,- 100000 acres of public lands to be chosen by the new State.
 Only provision is that the big tracts be in reasonably compact" areas.
 A section in the first bill which prohibited the state from claiming any and held by native has been stricken. No provision is made concerning these lands in the amended bill.
 Left ''as ls' is the land granted to the new state for internal im- provements. such as insane asyl- ums, penitentiaries, schools and pioneer homes, to be given from 100000 to 100000 acres to be ear- marked for specific uses.
 Control of fisheries and game is transferred to the new state, with the exception of fur seals and sea otters, and fisheries now under in- ternational control. Also excepted are lands withdrawn for wildlife refuges, or for general research activities relating to fisheries and wildlife.
 The new states constitution must provide that no person who ad- vocates the overthrow of the gov ernment of Alaska or the United States may hold public office first such provision ever included in a state constitution.
 Election of delegates to form the constitution has been changed in reducing each divisions delegates by one, and adding seven at-large delegates, making eight at-large members of the constitutional con- vention rather than one.
 Other changes involve creation of federal judicial district for Alaska.

ELLENDER
 OPPOSING
 1 STATEHOOD
Says Interests of Two Ter ritories Are Not Com
 mon 10 '0urs"

WASHINGTON, May 27 - lR = Senator Ellender (D-La) says he will vote against statehood for Hawaii and Alaska.
 T do not think that either Alaska or Hawaii should become states D Ellender asserted in a speech re- corded for broadcast in New Orleans last night. Their interests are not common to ours, and their people, especially in the case of Hawaii, are quite different from our people.
 Such difficulties may be over come, but I am not yet convinced that these two Territories, hundreds of miles away from the continental limits of our country. have reached a state of political maturity suffi- cient to merit our adding a 18th or 50th star to our flag"
 Bills to admit Hawaii and Alaska to statehood have passed the House and are awaiting action by the Sen ate Insular Affairs Committee.
 Ellender said that in Hawaii re cent difficulties with Communists highlighted the great gap between the Island and the American con- tinent."
 'The economy of Hawaii is to a large extent controlled by it's ship ping industry" he continued. And it's shipping industry is controlled by the International Longshore- mems Union, notorious for it's Com munist affiliations.
 When Hawaii has been purged of these elements it will be in far better position to seek state hood"

 KIDS MARCH
(By the Associated Press)


 Western Allied troops in Berlin were on trigger alert against trouble today as 100000 Communist youths in the East sector began their long heralded peace and unity" demon strations.

 Correspondents said Berlin, pres ent hot spot in the cold war, was freer from violence than at any time in recent months. But Ameri- can, British and French troops were readied for any emergency.
 East Berlin became an amusement park for the touring Communist youths as sugar-coating for their theological refresher course and pep rallies. The big march of an adver- tised half million teenagers has been ballyhooed for tomorrow.
