BARTLETT U FATHER OF STATEHOOD

Continued Page
 the articles have read in magazines and newspapers recently concerning Alaska Statehood undertake to glamorize other individuals in the Alaska picture to such degree that unnformed reader mgaht we'll be left unaware of MT. Bartett's great contribution.
 Members of this body well of the mar vels of the press agenry these times We strange and wonderful manifestations of that art but think others here share my bewiderment at reading that Statehood for Alaska was brought about by this or that individual when many of who cast the votes that admitted Alaska had not met those referred to- much less having been persuaded by them.
 Of course many people in the Congress and out side helped to bring about Statehood for Alaska The author of the bill, the gentleman from New York Mr OBrien), outstandingly able and effective ad- vocate for the to which he so unseshly dedi- cated his time and efforts and justly has earned place in history But l know he would be the first to ack- nowledge that his task would have been almost impos- sibe but for the reservoir of good will toward Alaska and the solid support for Statehood that Delegate Bartletts efforts had achieved over period of many years in this House.
 Delegate Bartlett is indeed the father of Alaska Statehood It shall be monument to him for all time to We who have served with him here shall forget his dedication to the in which he so deeply believed We congratulate him it's accom- pshent and wish him all in his future service to his beloved State and the Nation

Communists Step Up Artillery Attack

TAIPEI, Formosa. R III The Chinese Communists stepped up their artillery attack on the Tan Islets in Annoy Boy today, hurl- ing blistering 72O shells into the 136 Nationalist-held acres in an hour.
 It was the heaviest concentra- tion in the nearly four years of vest-pocket war in the Formosa Strait.
 The bombardment heightened speculation that the Communists soon would try to take the islets. Only 212 miles from their port of Annoy, they are used by the Nationalists as. lookout posts from which to alert naval forces blockading Annoy.
 The Nationalist island fortress of Quemoy, IS miles out from Annoy, got off relatively lightly. The Nationalist defense ministry said the Reds fired 783 rounds at Quemoy during a four-hour period beginning at dawn.

 News Letter
Stewards Icebox''
3v CLARENCE M. IRRICOO

By CLARENCE M. lHRlGOO
 When Seward first bought Alaska from Russia, no one dreamed that 91 years later the "Ice Box" would become a "Jewel Box"
 Words only cannot express how we reioiced to see our first 49th State tourists who flew in from Nome on August 18th, to explain to the natives what it will mean to all of us when Alaska becomes State. The group was headed by John McNees of Nome. Dele gate Bartlett who was among the group, thought it wise to meet his Eskimo supporters these past IA years, enjoyed giving a talk on the Statehood of Alaska in an unscheduled meeting which was held in the sanctuary of the New Presbyterian Church of Gambell. Loudspeakers installed on the church roofs to call the village worshippers on Sundays, were used to summon the townspeople to a town meeting" Within min utes,- the sanctuary was filled to capacity. Because this tour was limited, lengthy speeches were not used. Local Pastor who saw fitting that such a meeting must begin with a prayer closed it with Benediction.
 Enroute from Nome their plane the Alaska Airlines" flew low and circled over the village of Savoonga some 40 miles east of here. It was too soon for snow to falI but something started coming down from the clear skies. What their beautiful brown eyes saw was a sight to behold Cards and leaflets dropped from the plane" One villager ex- claimed, i've were deluged with politicians cards and referen- dums about the statehood of ALASKA.
 So goes the news from the top of the world.

Social Security News

Social security reports on do
nestle workers for the January
March quarter are due in April,
Myron Milbouer, manager of the
Wilmington social security office
announced today.
Under the present law, most do
mestic employees. such as garden
ers, cooks, maids, and housekeep-
ers, are covered under social Sc
curity. Employers of these and
other household workers must re-
port the cash wages paid and remit
the social security tax of Az per
cent of the employees wages. In
cases where the household worker

has earned less than $50 cash III
the quarter, the employer does not
have to make any report.
Milbouer stressed the point that
these wage reports are extremely
important because old-age, surviv-
ors, and disability insurance bene-
fits under social security are fig
ured on the basis of the amount of
earnings credited to persons ac-
count.
A convenient envelope type of
tax return form 942) is used in
making the return for household
employees. 1t takes only few min
utes to complete and can be OBJ
tanned from the office of the Dis
trict Director of Internal Revenue
