WASHINGTIN. R1Advocates of statehood for Hawaii and Alas ka expressed growing optimism today that the next two years will see the addition of two new stars in the United States flag.
 Despite the continued opposi- tion of several leaders in Congress proponents of statehood for the two territories have made impor- tant gains since the 84th Congress turned down the latest in a long series of statehood bills.
 The 1856 platforms of the Dem ocratic and Republican Parties pledge, for the first time, "imme- diate statehood" for both Hawaii and Alaska.
 The Eisenhower Administration slow to embrace Alaska state hood-is now committed, if re- elected, so send Congress next year specific conditions under which the admission of Alaska would be acceptable.
 Adlai Stevenson, the Democrat ic presidential nominee, has given an unqualified pledge to' use the full power of the presidency to assist the territories to achieve statehood.
 The Democratic Party has made the immediate statehood" pledge twice before. The Republican con- vention in 1852 came out for i'm mediate statehood" for Hawaii, but qualified it's endorsement of Alaska statehood with a require ment that it be admitted under an unexplained equitable en- abling act"
 The only qualification in the new Republican platform is the recognition that adequate pro- vision for. defense requirements must be made" in the admission of Alaska.

Visiting Wildlife Officials Warn Against Fishing
 With Net at Salmon Lake

Stan Fredericksen, US. game management agent for the US. Fish and Wifdlife Service, accom- panied by Jim King, was here last week from their headquar- ters in Fairbanks, although their work covers all of the northern part of Alaska.
 They are particularly concerned with information that there is net fishing at Salmon Lake. With the road being opened in that area they are anxious that local people be informed that no net fishing is allowed there for game fish, namely, greyling and trout, and those caught will be prosecuted. They hope to set up a signboard next season explaining how and where fishing is legal.
 MT. Fredericksen also reported that a salmon which had been tagged way out in the ocean some- where had found its way up the Koyuk River and has been re- ported. All tagged fish are of in- terest to this department.

Growing Optimism Expressed for
 Chances of Statehood in Next Two
 Years for Alaska and Hawaii

was member of the Senate, has made two recent public state ments to the effect that terms and conditions acceptable to the ad- ministration will be proposed to the next Congress for the admis- sion of Alaska.
 In Congress, however, statehood advocates from one or both terri tories still lack the support of such leaders as House Speaker Sam Rayburn, Republican House Leader Joseph Martin, House Rules Committee Chairman How ard Smith D-Va), and Senate Ma jority Leader Lyndon Johnson D-Tex).
 As to them, Ernest Gruening, former Alaska governor, said in an interview that time changes all things"
 "The United States has taken a stand against colonialism turnout the world" he said. "I cannot see how the people of Alaska and Hawaii can be held any longer in the status of second class citi- zens."
 Gruening was one of two provi- sional senators" elected in Alas ka this year to take office in Washington as soon as the terri tory is admitted to statehood.
 In readiness for admission, both Hawaii and Alaska have held state constitutional conventions, drafted and adopted their pro- posed state constitutions.
 The Alaska step of electing two senators and one House member and sending them to Washington in advance of statehood was first adopted by Tennessee in 1796 pri- or to it's admission to the Union. The plan subsequently, was fol- lowed by Michigan, California, Oregon and Kansas.
 eIt has never failed yet, said Gruening, "and we see no reason for it to fail this time

he figured Mr.. Champion for the
king. His reasoning was as fol-
lows: Mr.. Dale's opening lead
indicated he had started with
exactly four spades.
That is, he had led his fourth
highest, so naturally he had
three higher than the four spot
But he had none lower as Mr.
Masters himself had the deuce
and trey.
Therefore Mr.. Champion had
started with exactly three
spades, all higher than the
four spot. He had played one
of them (the ace) and the spades
unaccounted for after the first
trick were K ] 10 7 6. Appar-
emily Mr.. Champion did not
hold the jack or the 10. else
he would have taken the first
trick with one of those cards
rather than go all the way up
with the ace.
So Mr.. Dale must have the
jack and 10. But if the old boy
had the king as we'll, his orig
linal holding would have been
TX j 10 4-and from that COM
Ibination he would have led the
jack.
Therefore. it seemed reason
able to believe that Mr.. Cham
pion held the king of spades.
Mr.. Masters figured that his
only chance lay in the heart suit
and at trick three he led the
trey of hearts. Mr.. Champion
could see what was coming.
He let Mr.. Dale win with
the queen. hoping he held only
two cards in the suit. Mr.. Dale
shot back the six of hearts and
this time it was Mr.. Masters
who ducked. permitting dummy's
| jack to win.
