Introducing the new governor was Alaska COP national com mitteeman, Walter J. Hickel of Anchorage, who had been named along with Stepovich as one of three party choices of the post.
 Hickel told the audience "I'm glad Mike got the appointment. Alaska won when they got Mike. He's our first native-born govern or. Nothing else matters"
 The COP committeeman added if the people of Alaska will stand behind him, Stepovich will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, governors Alaska has had.
 The new governor declared Alaska had been given great deal. Land, he said, is the key to opportunity, and Alaska has 375 million acres.
 They promised in Washington to do everything they could for us to release land as they can," he stated.
 They're all for us back there. They know the word Alaska
 Stepovich also predicted early statehood for the territory and said he was greatly encouraged at the attitudes of both President Eisenhower and Secretary of :he Interior Seaton toward Alaska.

Drought Areas Get Relief From Heavy Snow, Rain

The Weather Bureau, US. De- partment of Commerce, reported last week that the first four months of 1857 have brought more rain and snow to some loca- tions in the big drought area than these same locations got during all Of 1856. Bureau climatologists said that over thousands of square miles the soils nowf are wet deep CT than they have been for five years.
 All this moisture has produced some cautious, but perhaps justi- fled, optimism among millions of people in the central and southern plains that the five-year drought may have ended. Nevertheless, no one can yet say with assurance that the widespread drought has finally ended.
 Despite the widespread rains recently in the Southwest, a small core of the drought still remains in the Pecos cattle country in western Texas. The floods in Texas during the recent weeks all occurred in the eastern two thirds of the state.
 Altho the climate so far this year has been wetter than aver age, it will take a long time to re- build appreciably the under ground water storage.

Gov. Stepovich Gets Big Welcome
 Upon Returning to His Home Town

FAIRBANKS, Rt-A sober faced young Fairbanks attorney who will serve the next four years as Alaska's youngest and first na- tlve-born governor, received a tumultuous welcome on his re- turn to his home town Monday.
 The first words of Mike A.. Stepovich, 38, to a crowd of sev- eral thousand cheering residents were that he is praying to fulfill the territory's expectations and possibilities.
 Stepovich landed at Fairbanks International Airport at 6 pm after flight from Seattle and Portland. He had visited relatives, including his mother, in Portland over the weekend.
 Stepovich, a seasoned veteran of the Territorial Senate, was greeted with a 17-gun salvo by the Arny's Yukon Command, three military bands, an Alaska National Guard drill team, terri torial Republican leaders, and his wife, Matilda, and five of their seven young children.
 Crowds lined the highway from the airport to downtown Fair banks to watch the car caravan bring Stepovich to the business district where a reviewing stand awaited him.

House Group
 Says Air Force Is Wasting Air Hours

WASHINGTON R-The House Appropriations Committee Tues day said the Air Force is wasting too many air-hours ''boring a hole in the air from distant point to distant point"
 The air-boring, the committee sad in a report on the 1858 de- fense appropriation bill, is done under the guise of what it said were needlessly long flights des- ignated as training missions"
 In an effort to cut down on what it called "junketing that is done under the guise of so-called proficiency flying" the commit tee told the Air Force to cut it's projected flying hour program for 1858 by 5OO,0OO hours. from 9,4O0,OO0 to 8,9O0,0O0 hours
 It called for elimination of "any unessential use of military air craft for so-called junketing of military and civilian personnel"
 The committee did not say whether this major economy move" would affect members of Congress, many of whom use mil itary planes in their annual "offi- cial inspection" trips to the four corners of the world during con- gresSiOnal receSSeS.
