Alaska is foreign territory at Canada's door
which governed from Washington 1t is not yet legal
ly of the states of the American Union Both the
Democrats and the Republicans pledged to give
Alaska full statehood, the former Immediately the
latter Eventually"
This year the people of Alaska represented by So
delegates, have been drawing up constitution which
will be put to popular vote April "a. They held a
75day conference for the purpose and it that
Alaska will demand direct elected representation IN
Washington if statehood is not granted this year
What interests is that all this constitutional
palaver is occurring right under the of Canadians
without culver of public outcry interest in
this country.
Where else on this earth's surface could a vast
territory of 200 600 people change POLITICAL constitu
tional without reference to the nation
that it does not recognize the fact that colony of
foreign country occupies not only half its Pacific coast
line but also the northwest continental peninsula which
by nature would rghtfully be hers?
Sef-determnation is worthy national political
principle, but let not get soft about It, What right of
Sef-determnaton did inhabitants of Alaska have when
the United States bought the territory from Russia
in 1867 for $7200,000?
If Canada had been united that March and her
proper interests strongly represented the United States
could not readily have got away with such brgandry
And now this Alaska is the way to full Incorporation
with the United States and protest is heard from
Canada
Further in this matter of self-determination, what
tests have been made of AlaSkanS opinion regards
complete independence the possibility of their join
ing Canada? 1t is obvious from the deliberations at
Fairbanks that not all the peope-Americans, Indians
Eskmos and white wanderers-want union with the
US and IT'S tax rates and CONSUMPTION.
Has Canada made any Overtures at all towards
Alaska? 1t could become rich eleventh province and
give the natives well as the whites the Canadian
baby bonus. Most important from geopolitical point
of view, Alaska-n-Canada would clear up the anomaly
of having American state where Canadas flag
should fly
We advance these questions without and

be removed from Alaska We wish only to point out
how acquiescent Canada has become as regards this
formerly disputed territory and how mild, in friendly
fashion, towards American political consolidation.

HOLLYWOOD


I think the word "glamor-
Gus" must have become a part
of our vocabulary when Mar
lene Dietrich was introduced
to the American public.
Though scores of new names
have been added to the CLAM
our list since then, none has
wrested the crown from
Marlene.
Several years ago when the
Academy Awards were being
televised for the first time.
every star in Hollywood was
competing for attention but 1t
was Dietrich who stole the
show. She appeared among
the gala array Of bouffant and
elaborate gowns and furs in a
simple black sheath gown and
as she walked: her form fitting.
narrow skirt was slit to reveal
her beautiful legs.
No one in Hollywood can
top Dietrich when 1t comes to
clothes. This is interesting
because by her own admission
her fashion sense was acquired.
Those at Paramount who re-
member her when she arrived
from Europe will tell you that
she was not nearly as chic
then asnow.
How does one become one

asked.
"You will often hear a wom-

woman has nothing suitable to
wear 1t Is usually because she
has bought all the wrong
things. She has gone shopping

"You wouldn't think Of buy

you cannot get away with
wearing it so often. You can't
go wrong If you buy good

Miss Dietrich had this to
say about fashion.
"All Of us follow 1t to a
certain extent. Shoulders and
hemlines cannot easily be
ignored but we can still dress
to our individuality"
I had heard tales Of how
exacting Miss Dietrich is when
it comes to fitting her clothes.
Jean Louis, who made her
famous Las Vegas gowns. told
me. Most women look for
effect in a dress but Dietrich
is q perfectionist in every de-
tail. She will ask for a gown

 Bill Olsen, director of the Alas ka Native Service, received re- port today from Carroll Hughes, general foreman (now resigned of the bureaus office at Nome, relating evidence of the visit.
 Hughes spent Sept. 24 until Oct. ' at Little Diomede working at preparing the islands only school for the winter return of some 90 Eskimos-the only residents of the island.
 The Eskimo families, including about 20 schoolchildren, leave the island deserted every summer while they go to Nome and Kotze- bue, on the mainland, to work.
 Hughes said in his report that he found cigarets that were for eign to anything I had ever seen before' and writing on some paper that l picked up off the floor that looked foreign to me-"
 He said the schools food supply had been opened and "a lot of it consumed" He said every dish kept in the school had been used -"they hadn't washed any dishes or cleaned the place at all"
 He also said the schools records and files had been rearranged, "some of them out of the cabinets and piled, scattered around over the room" Hughes said it ap- peared that the visitors stayed several days and nights"

Senator, British Diplomat Lose
 Dignity at Club

SAN FRANCISCO, R-B o h US. Sen. George w. Molly) Ma lone R-NeW and British Consul General Sir, Robert Hadow said they're sorry it happened.
 The 66-year-old senator and the 61-year-old British diplomat ex- changed words and glares Friday at the usually dignffed weekly luncheon of the Commonwealth Club. There was also one wild, futile swing.
 Malone, a former amateur box CT, had addressed the club on the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and foreign aid. He opposed both.
 After contending the only two great nations in the world today are the United States and Russia, Malone asserted England is living on 300-yead-old reputation and building a population that can't be supported without an empire. The empire of yesteryear, he said, no longer exists.
 As the audience filed out, Sir Robert paused near the speakers table. Those present said the hold CT of the Military Cross for gal antry in combat told Malone he was a bloody liar.'
 Malone vaulted the table and threw an off-target haymaker which the 6-foot-2 Hadow tucked. Then the two stood glaring at each other.

 Nixon said Morse is "a man who has in the past and will in the future work against the Pres ident's programs"
