 MORE PAYROLLS, in Alaska. not in Seattle or Portland. Elim- ination of fishtraps will accom- plish this. Building a solid tour ist trade will accomplish this when we start building lodges, motels, more accommodations.

 I am for STATEHOOD, now, at once. Statehood will cost only what We Alaskans allow it to cost - our first control of gov ernment spending The benefits
 (a) Control of our fisheries. They ould move those can in- specters, those labelling mach ines, those big company payrolls out of Seattle and into Alaska and Alaska would get the income tax from more employees, in fact our whole tax burden would be shared by those who are living off the Alaska salmon runs but who are living in the State of Washington. (b) Tidelands would belong to, and would be sold by. the new state, and AL askans could get warranty deeds for filled lands and then get gov ernment building loans for them.

After Visit

SYRACUSE, NJ. Y. Rl-Reunited
with his wife and parents, Capt.
John J. Swift greeted new year
today far from the Hungarian jail
in which he and three other Amer
lean airmen spent 80 days.
The 34-year-old flier arrived here
by plane Monday to see his crit
ically i'll father. Swift came by
commercial airline from Wash
ington, on the last lap of flight
from Germany.
His plane SET down only a mo-
ment before an airliner from Al
bany arrived with his wife.
After a joyful embrace, Swift
and his pretty wife were speeded
across town to st. Joseph's Hos.
pital in an automobile preceded
by police escort.
They spent about Is minutes in
the hospital room with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John j. Swift, Sr.
The father, 65-year-old former
railroad engineer described by his
doctor as being .'in very critical
condition" told the captain.
II knew they (the Hungarians)
couldn't hold you. They cant hold
"a good Irishman down. /"
After the visit, Sister Wilhel-
nina, the hospital superintendent,
said the elder Swift seemed very
happy and had .perked up quite
a bit"
The last rites of the Roman
Catholic Church had been admin
istered to the father last Friday.
Asked how she felt about seeing
her son for the first time in al.
most three years. the flier's moth.
er replied:
II don't know what to say any
more. All this is confusing"
The reply of the airman's wife
to a similar question was:
Il don't know. I'm not feeling
any pain right now
And the captain? After his wife
had smeared his face with lipstick,
Swift told reporters at the airport:
"Yop don't know how glad
am to be back"
Swift said he intended to stay
in service partly TO repay the
United States for the $4,000 in
fines that sprung the Air Force
men from Hungary.
Capt. and Mrs. Swift have two
children, 5-year-old daughter.
Lelise, and lo-weeks-old David.
