By5-t Margin.
For Statehood
1880 to 1884
Reported in lib
OF 2o7 Precincts

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. q
Cap Vast, rugged and beau
tiful Alaska-slim in popula-
ton but mighty in size and po-
tential--is going to become the
49th State of the Union.
Alaska voters crowded to the
polls in record number yester-
day and by a wide margin APP
proved admission Of the terri
tory to the Union. With 1l3I
precincts reporting, immediate
statehood had received yes votes
on 1880 ballots. Votes against
statehood totaled only 1884.
The returns included vote to-
tails from heavily populated
cities in Central and South
eastern Alaska and came from
more than one-third of the ter
ritory's approximately 297 pre-
cincts.
Forecasts on the eve of the
election had predicted not
much more than a 81 margin
for statehood.
Feared Tax Boost
Most of the opposition to
statehood in Alaska had been
based on fear that increased
costs of State government
would mean a new boost in
taxes for the Territory's 215,000
residents.
However, the heavy outpour-
ing at the polls was viewed by
most observers as an indication
that statehood was headed for
approval by a wide margin.
TITS a wonderful night" said
Interior Secretary Fred A. Sea-
ton, the administrators great
est booster of Alaskan state
hood. Mr.. Seaton was in Juneau
for the vote tabulation last
night.
The voting was so heavy at
many precincts that the sup
ply of official election ballots
was exhausted before che polls
closed.
Airplanes were pressed into
service to carry new supplies
of ballots to some precincts. At
others, sample election ballots
were put into official use to
meet the voter demand.
Vote on 8 Questions
The statehood voting was on
three separate referendum
propositions, the key TO which
was the first:
Shall Alaska Immediately be
admitted to the Union as a
State?"
Proposition two on the bal
lot dealt with acceptance of the
present boundaries as bound
aries of the new State.
Proposition three provides
for the transfer of 03,350 900
acres of public land to the new
State, and reserves power to the
President to make certain mill

School Closing Called
Terrible by President
Implies He
Likes Slower
Indignation
BY GARRETT d. HORNER
Star stan Writer

SeoA Stch WAAecA
President Eisenhower de-
clared today it would be "ter-
rible" if schools are closed as
a result of the dispute over
racial indignation, as could
happen under Virginia's mas.
sive resistance" laws.
At the same time, Mr.. Eisen-
hover indicated that he may
personally feel that a slower"
approach to indignation might
be advisable.
The Presidents comments on
the school issue, made at his
news conference, were stated
in the most general terms. He
gave no indication what posi-
ton the Justice Department
would take in arguments before
the Supreme Court tomorrow
on the appeals court order de-
laying integration of Central
High School in Little Rock,
Ark. The Justice Department
said today that it would par.
ticipate in the arguments.
The President said he as
sumed the Justice Departments
brief in the hearing would TRY
to reflect the views that all Of
us so far as I know have held
from the beginning" But he
did not spell out those views.
Bars Funds for Arlington
In discussing school integra-
ton problems. the President
made these other points:
/. The Federal Government
could not provide money to
keep Arlington schools running
if State funds are withdrawn
without giving similar aid to
schools everywhere.
2. He is still willing to talk
with Gov. Almond of Virginia
about the States school prob
lens but has no irtimation Of
the Governor seeking such a
conference.
Mr.. Eisenhower's indication
that he might favor a showdown
in the rate of school integra-
ton came in response to a
question about a published re-
port that he personally dis
liked the Supreme Courts 1854
decision ordering gradual de-
segregation of the Nations
schools, He vigorously denied
that report.
Story Is Denied
A reporter quoted an item in
a news magazine as saying the
President had told friends that
he wished the Supreme Court
had not made the integration
decision, and that. anyway. he
thought the process should
move more slowly.
THAT story is not correct"
Mr.. Eisenhower said.
He emphasized, as he has in
other news conferences that he
would never express an opinion
concerning his personal convic-
tons about any Supreme Court
decision.
| Regarding the second point
of the report, he added:
1T might have been that I
said something about slower"
The President went on to
emphasize, as he often has in
the past, that the racial prob
lem in the South can be really
solved only with development
of reason, common sense, edu-
cation "and a lot of other
things that have to go hand in
hand"
Won't Ask Slower Pace
A reporter asked If his re-
marks about slower" integra.
ton meant that he would in.
