LETTER TO THE EDITOR
 Fairbanks, Alaska

DearEditor:
 How strange is coincidence.
 It brings chuckle every time we look at the statehood commit tees attractive propaganda pam phlet in favor of adopting the pro- posed constitution for Alaska, be- cause among the two pages of newspaper comments is full page devoted to Letter to the Editor of the Minneapolis Tribune from a Minnesota housewife indicating their intense desire for another Minnesota constitutional conven- tion.
 Do you wonder why Minnesota voters desire and really need a new or revised constitution?
 Because-the Minnesota consti- tuition was adopted IN HASTE in order to get Minnesota into the Union as quickly as possible and they have REPRINTED IN LEIS- URE (since 1857) over their, made quate document.
 To quote from a January 1855 League of Women Voters of Minn- esota Background Information on a Constitutional Convention for Minnesota: 'The more thoughtful, conscientious members comforted themselves with insistence on the insertion of an easy amending pro- cess. They stated: We admit the constitution is not perfect. The inn portant question now, however, is to adopt peacefully some constitu- tion, whatever it may contain, and to get Minnesota into the Union as quickly as possible.
 Does that have a familiar ring? Minnesota'S constitution has been patched with 80 ammendments.
 Sincerely yours,
 (S) Alice Stuart

LONDON, March ; R.-
American fans may be happy
to hear their old friend Liber-
ace Is doing fine on British
commercial TV.
British m ales, however.
aren't quite 20 impressed. But
Liberace seems to be q big hit,
and 50 Is the new style COM
mercial-Britons call 1t plug"
-TV that brings his smiling
face into English homes.
The fact is that commercial
television, helped o lot by can
ned American shows, has
caught on fast since 1t first
splurged into Britain almost
six months ago.
Only recently it branched
out from London into the Eng
lish midlands, to bring millions
of additional viewers into its
reach.
BY the end Of the year 1t will
reach the north and Scotland.
And though 1t may never get
the blanket coverage that
spreads the government-spon-
sored, non-commercial British
Broadcasting Corporation into
every corner Of the nation,
plug entertainment Is becom-
ing accepted as Q part Of Brit
iSh Life.

still has two huge question
marks over its head-one
financial. one political. But by
common consent the TV COM
panies have done we'll. Already
they are winning a bigger
share Of the London audience
than the much longer estab-
lished BIC, which spurns
commercials.
Listen to Iris Crawley, a
London housewife and mother
Of two young boys:
1--WE watch the commercial
programs far more than the
BIC. 7 Love Lucy is my own
favorite-but I'mf a Liberace
fan, too.
Commercials? We like
them. My young Nicky-he's
seven-knows every word Of the
j1ngleS ana looks FORWARD 10
seeing them.
IT don't think the plugs
make any difference to what I
buy. They're just amusing
not like advertisements at ALL"
Practically everyone you
speak to stresses one thing.
The new service, still covering
less than a third of the nation,
has triggered a vast improve
ment in the nationwide BIC.
This Is thought by many
people to be the biggest single
advantage Of the new setup.
