Legislators Settle On Wording Of
 Statehood Appeal
By JIM HUFcHESoN

JUNEAU, tR - AlaSka'S law makers finally got together yes tegday on the wording of their appeal for statehood to be sent President Eisenhower and Con- gross.
 A somewhat touchy subject be- tween both branches since start of the legislative session, this is how the wind-up paragraph of the memorial reads:
 Therefore, we ask that you, collectively and as individuals, dismiss ail pag*isag concerns, look only ta the merits of our cause and correct the injustice we suf- fer in not being allowed to gov ern ourselves or participate in the election of the President or having. voting representation in Congress-"
 Preceding this prayer" the statehood arguments are outlined.
 At start of the session, the lower branch approved one of it's own memorials calling upon the President and Congress to rise to s'heights of statesmanship" and grant statehood. Sober-minded senators thought that a little brash >and rewrote the whole thing and made it a Senate mem orial.
 Then, when it came up for final action, ladders apparently thought the House would be of fended. So they tossed it aside. adopted the House version and only rewrote the prayer"
 Yesterday the House concurred in the Senate amendment, wind ing up legislative action on the matter
 Tn other House action, the lower branch passed and sent the Senate four deficiency appropria- tion measures during the after noon, with only one dissenting vote on the four.
 The Senate approved the bill by Sen. Ralph Rivers to allow cities to establish and maintain cemeteries. and sent it to the House. The League of Alaska Cities backed it.
 Tn the House, the only dissent ing vote in debate on the defic- iency bills popped up in the one to provide $1O,0OO for the Ma tional Guard for expenses in the present biennium above the $185,- 900 appropriated by the 1853 legislature.
 Two of the other bills would provide S10,500 for the cost of school children's medical exam nations during the present bi- ennium and S7,57l for paying the recorders of vital statistics.
 In other action, the House got entangled over proposed amend ments to a bill to tighten loop holes in cigarette tax collections while dropping the tax on other tobacco products. It finally put the whole thing over until today.
 One Senate memorial intro duced asks the government to avoid competition with private enterprise in the territory and to pursue actively a policy of en- couraging all possible private en- terprise It came from Sens. Owen, Beltz,' Cooper, Egan and Warner.

LETTER OF THE
WEEK

William Faulkner, a native Of
Mississippi where he still resides
winner of the Nobel Prize for lit
erature, and perhaps the nations
foremost novelist, is author Of the
following letter published in a re-
cent edition Of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal:
We MissisSipians already know
that our present schools are not
good enough. Our young men and
women themselves prove that to
us every year by the fact, when
the best of them want the best of
education which they are entitled
to and are competent for, not only
in the hunanities but in the pro-
LESSONS and crafts - law and
medicine and engineering - too,
they have to 60 out of the state
to get it. And quite often, too
often, they don't come back.
So our present schools are not
even good enough for White
people; our present state reservoir
OF education is not of high enough
quality to aSSuage the thirst of
even our White young men and
women. In which case, how can
it possibly assuage the thirst and
need of the Negro, who obviously
is thirStier, needs it worse, else
the Federal Government would
not have to pass a law compelling
Mississippi (among others, of
course) to make the best of our
education available to him.
That is, our present schools are
not even good enough for White
folks. So what do we do? Make
them good enough, improve them
to the best possible? No. We beat
the bushes, rake and scrape tn
raise additional taxes to establish
another system at best only eqdaI
to that one which is already not
good enough, which therefore
won't be good enough for Negroes
either; we will have two identi-
cal systems neither of which is
good enough for anybody. The
question is not how foolish can
people get, because apparently
there is no limit to that. The ques-
ton is, how foolish in simple dol
lars and cents, Let alone in wasted
men and women, can we afford to
be?
