DR.. Harris shot a sharp glance
from Bentley to Billy. Then he
said, conversationally, you know,
this is going to do the trick. Blood's
a funny thing - whole blood"
He took the needle in his hand

Then he addressed himself ex-

think you are, huh?"
The nurse snickered dutifully
and placed the rubber tourniquet
around Billy's left arm above the

at him and said, For your infor-

A wrath of a smile trembled at
Billy's mouth.

it seemed that it was too much.

Anchorage Statehood
Group Has Quick Answer

ANCHORAGE, Up Leaders of
both political parties reacted with
stunned surprise when informed
of a letter in which Gov. HeintZle-
man proposed that only the popu-
lated and developed sections of
the territory be allowed to attain
statehood.
Hasty conference among party
leaders here followed announce
ment of Heintzleman's letter Most
queries brought forth reply of:
'No comment yet"
The Anchorage Cooperation
Statehood" Committee, however,
acted quickly.
The group sent a telegram to
Speaker of the House Joe Martin
calling Heintzleman's argument
for separation of the territory
''fallacious" and charged the "an-
nual cost of the upkeep Of the
glaciers, tundra and mountains of
Alaska is quite small but Alaska
needs the mineral underneath"
ALASKA is united now and in
tends to stay that way" the tele-
gram concluded.

Alaska Statehood

WASHINGTON, Up - Senator
Knowland says he will find a
place on the Senate's calendar for
a bill granting statehood to Alas
ka if the House decides to split up
a Senate-approved measure which
also grants statehood to Hawaii.
Although House leaders have
indicated they have little hope
that the double-barreled bill will
get approval in that body, Know
land said he hasn't given up hope
that a statehood measure of some
kind will be sent to the Presi-
dent.
II personally believe there will
be a statehood BILL" he said.
He said if the House should
pass the joint bill approved by
the Senate, he hopes Eisenhower
won't veto it.
AS far as he is concerned,
Knowland said he doesn't agree
that Hawaii would be likely to
send two Republicans to Wash
ington or that Alaska necessarily
would send two Democrats.
II think it is just as likely that
Alaska might elect two Repub-
licans and Hawaii two Demo-
crats," he said. II don't support
the statehood bill on a political
basis"

Two Small Girls Burned
To Death In Kodiak Fire

The children were both the dau-

Firemen said preliminary in

ey's clothes caught fire as she
cooked in the Van SAINTS kitchen
on the first floor.
She apparently then ran into a
bedroom where the two tots were
sleeping, firemen said, with her
clothes ablaze and the fire spread
rapidly.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. Stamsberry,
living upstairs, and an unidenti-
fled babysitter escaped the flames.
Stamsberry told firemen he and
his wife, Patricia, ran by the door
of the bedroom where the two
girls were, but presumed they had

Description OF
The Proposed
Alternative State
tBY THE ASSOCIATED Press

AASSSNArAADS =
The 100000 square mile area
proposed by Governor Heintzle-
man to be cut out of the vast
territory for a state of Alaska
would make the new state slight
ly smaller than Texas.
The land area of Texas is listed
at 263,0OO square miles. Includ-
ing inland waters, it is listed at
267 900.
Here is the description, in brief,
of the proposed alternative state
area:
It would have the Shelikoff
Strait, between Kodiak and the
mainland, as a dividing line on
the southwest, meaning all of Ko-
diak island would be included in
the state.
Then the line would run north
| ward along the 152 meridian of
longitude All to the east of that
line would be included. The 152nd
runs barely off the tip Of the
Kenai Peninsula and cuts diagon-
ally through Cook Inlet and runs
alongside Mt. Spur, across the
inlet from Anchorage.
Mt. Mckinley would be about
80 miles inside the proposed state
boundary All Of Mt Mckinley
National Park except the south
west corner would be inside.
The town Of Tanana on the
Yukon River would be close to
the line and apparently just out
side the state.
The Alaska Peninsula and the
Aleutians and all of the Second
Judicial Division would be out
side the state.
The northern boundary would
be south of the summit of the
Brooks range. That would make
the line slightly more than 100
miles north Of the Arctic Circle
and about $50 miles north of
Fairbanks.
