Stationary Annuitonts

Proponents of earlier Government
retirement should realize that they
would relegate present workers with
future prospects to the category OF
stationary annuitants at a. time when
said proponents would be helping to
boost living costs.
There is a remedy. of course. With
each horizontal pay rise. provide a
percentage increase Of annuity for
former workers. Without such remedy
many now on flexible salary will every
day find themselves retired to the sta
tionary annuitant group.

PULP OFFICIALS PLEAD
 NO RAISE IN COSTS OF
 EMPLOYMENT SECURITY

JUNEAU -(R- Two pulp com pany officials, speaking for the new Ketchikan plant, appealed to the Senate this week not to rock their economic boat by increasing Territorial costs for employment security or industrial insurance for workers.
 Bills to do both are before the legislature.
 The pulp industry representatives were Robert H. Evans, vice presi- dent of Ketchikan Pulp and chair man of the Board of the parent Puget Sound Pulp & Timber Co.,, of Bellingham and Harry Binzer of Bellingham, Puget Sound secretary and former Republican leader in the Washington Senate.
 Evans described the Ketchikan venture as "a guinea pig" operation which all the industry is watching and which holds a precarious econ omic balance in a highly competi- tive world market.
 He said he was not asking for any changes, but was seeking a stand pat position" by the Legis- lature.

Bro William R. Gum, pastor of the Assembly of God Mission, is leaving the first of the week for Seattle to be gone for an indefinite time.
 Bro. Gum issued the following message to the people of Wrangell, with whom he has been associated for more than 20 years:
 Dear People of Wrangell: cant say for sure that Sunday night will be my last message to you but it may be so. Not so many will come out, so to those that can not come, want to say that no matter where 1 go. bless your dear hearts. l will be praying for Wran- gell and all of the dear people.
 "A few more weeks and I will be in Wrangell 21 years. I can't re- port a great revival, but l can say that 1 have been faithful, and that is just what our dear Lard wants Us to be. I can't say as to how long l will be gone. but l can say that our dear Lord knows it all
 ''So I just want to thank the May or of our city aand the members of the council. and all the business men and the Alaska Native Broth erhood and Sisterhood for their kindness to me
 50, dear Wrangell people, please do not hold anything against me as if you do. it will keep you from going to that lovely place called Heaven. Now. if I have caused any one any trouble. please forgive me for it. So. again, I will say I will not forget you or Wrangell as thIs is my home until the dear Lord takes me to glory. So. good night and may our Lord bless you.

STATEHOOD ISSUE HANGS ON 0REGONIAN'S VOTE

WASHINGTON -tR- Rep. Els worth (R-Ore.), whose vote may bl Ia deciding factor in whether the House gets to consider statehood Legislation for Alaska and Hawaii said yesterday he honestly cant say how I'll vote''
 Ellsworth is one of four Repub- licans on the House Rules Commit tee which must approve the bill before it goes to the House for ac- tion
 Earlier this week, Rep. Solme1 (D7Miss.), another member. predic- ted the bill would have tough at least one of the four Republican members supports it. If solid Re publican opposition develops, Sol mer predicted, 6-6 stalemate would keep the bill in committee.
 The theory is that the four Re publicans might vote against the bill since the COP leadership op- poses the dual measure. SolmeT said he would vote against it and expects one other Democrat on the committee to join him.
 Ellsworth said although he is undecided how he would vote, it would take a strong argument to make me vote to keep the bill in committee
 He said he also is undecided on how he would vote if the combined awaii-Alaska bill reaches the floor. but indicated his vote in committee and on the floor could be different.
 He recalled he had once made a list of some 20 objections advanced against statehood for the Territor- ies but, after inspection, had decid- ed none of them stood up
 Despite this, he said, he has a feeling inside" in opposition to statehood at this time. He said this stemmed in part from the lack of a recent referendum on statehood in Alaska and the trip by a major ity of the Hawaiian legislature to Washington to advance statehood.
 Tt makes me wonder whether Hawaii is stable enough" he said
