Mayor Returns from Statehood Hearings
 And Family Reunion

Returning to the Valley Mon- day of this week was Mayor AL fred Hagen who spent the pre- vious 16 days in Washington, D. C. attending statehood hear ings and enjoyed a reunion with his four brothers.
 Together for the first time in 32 years, the five Hagen brothers were feted on several occasions, including a formal dinner party held in honor of Harold Hagen, 9th District Representative of Minnesota, in the Dominican Elm bassy. Also in attendance were several U. s. Congressmen and representatives from Caribbean and Central American countries.
 Following conferences with many Washington officials, Hagen said this week he feels there is great need for cities in the Territory to have representatives in the Capitol city to get infor- nation on territorial proposals and fight for requests. Delegate Bartlett is doing a fine job in public relations" Hagen said, ''but he is handicapped for his salary is not adequate nor does he have time to further promote the needs of the territory" We are so far away from Washington that we have but a small voice in our own government, he added. Several cities, Seattle included, have offices in Washington, which are constantly working for their individual needs, he said.
 Commenting on his official visit with President Eisenhower, Ha- gen said he found him to be very cordial and natural in his greeting. The President advanced questions to Hagen and Bruce Kendall of Cordova concerning the economy of Alaska and told of golfing at the "fartherest. north golf links.
 The reunion of the Hagen bro- thers was made possible by the Mayors trip to Washington and the recent return of two bro thers from foreign missions. George Hagen, federal state de- partment attorney, returned to the Capitol recently after serving on the legal staffs of General Douglas McArthur and General Matthew Ridgeway in Japan the past several years.
 Another recently returned brother, Norman, is with the weather bureau, having spent the past seven years as director of 1 the U. s. weather bureau in Europe.
 Congressman Harold Hagen is now serving his sixth term as Republican representative from Minnesota. Adolph Hagen con ducts an office supply business in Falls Church, Virginia.
 The five brothers attended the baseball game that saw the Wash ington Mats and the Yankees open the 1853 season, following the first pitch by President Eisen' hover.

Hospital Association Gets S15,0Q0 From Fund Committee

The Valley Hospita1 rund com mittee turned over a total of $15,O00 to Jack Neweomb, trea- surer of the Valley Hospital As sociation to be used in the con- struction of the new Valley Pres< byterian Hospital
 The money is an aggregate Of sums raised throughout the valley by various organizations, indivi- dual donations and Outide contri- buttons, including sums from An chorage and stateside parties.
 When the fund raising commit tee started the local drive a year ago, Hugh Johnson and Ed Smith, drive chairman announced that none of the funds raised for the new hospital would be turned over before contract for its construction was signed.
 When first bids were opened last June it was found that they were $102,000 over available funds, and were rejected. Fol lowing changes in design, alter nate bids were put out and C. R. Foss, Inc. of Anchorage was suc- cessful bidder, with complete con- struction possible.
 However, the construction bid did not include the cost of K ray machines, sterilizers, stand by generator, landScaping nor several other items necessary for the complete construction of the new hospital. Additional funds will be needed to complete these purchases and fund committee men announced this week that the drive will continue.
 Palmer KiWanis club, as in the past, has pledge receipts from the minstrel show to the fund. Home makers groups in and around the valley are continuing their fund projects as is the local Beta i Sigma Phi sorority. The latter | group have announced their ln- tention of furnished and main taining a mobile library for he hospital. Several pledges given by merchants last year will be col lected, and other organizations have projects started or in the planning stage.
 Miss Clara Eggleston, techni- clan at Valley Hospital, turned over a $50 check to the commit l tee recently. It had been sent to her for that use from the Pres byterian Church in her former home town, Enid, Oklahoma.
 Clearing and excavation at the new hospital site have been com pleted and workers today are building forms, for the pouring of cement footing which they ex- pect to start tomorrow.
