with questions. problems or
criticisms write to Pedro every
month. Sometimes he is sar-

presence of a live Pedro" would
create considerable interest and
enthusiasm.

House Territories Subcommittee
 Okays Bill To Make Alaska a State

called by the governor He would certify the results to the Presi- dent. If the President finds a majority of legal votes cast were affirmative he would notify the Alaska governor who then would schedule remaining statehood machinery
 The subcommittee adopted an administration proposal giving the President authority to set up whatever military reservations he deems necessary in less populated areas of Alaska
 A proposal by O'Brien to in crease House membership per manently from 435 to 436 mem bers was. withdrawn.
 Neither the subcommittee nor the parent Insular Affairs Com mittee-despite scattered opposi- tion-has never rejected a bill for admission of Alaska or Hawaii. But neither territory has ever gathered the mommentum to roll through Congress.
 Major provisions of the Alaskan bill as it came before the sub committee would:
 l. Grant statehood to all the present territory of Alaska.
 2. Adopt the proposed state constitution voted by Alaskans last year.
 3. Grant the new state the right to select 182,8OO,OOO acres of otherwise unreserved public lands in Alaska.
 4. Give Alaska 70 per cent of the net proceeds from the Pribilof Island seal fishery.
 5. Retain control in the federal government for five years after AlaSka'S admission as state of the areas fish and wildlife re- sources.
 Deleted from the bill as origin ally introduced are provisions which would have given the new state 78 million dollars for road construction, operation and main tenance, and IS million dollars for land surveys.
