PORTLAND, lR - The gover- nor of the almost" 49th state said Friday night not all Alaska's problems would be solved bp statehood, but i've feel the solu- tions will be easier now"
 Mike Stepovich, his wife and their eight children flew here Friday for a weekend visit with the governors mother, Mrs. Olga Fabianich, and his wife's par ents, MT. and Mrs. Lawrence c. Baricevic, all of Portland
 Stepovich predicted swift ap- proval of the new Congressional statehood action, the only thing between territory and state status for Alaska. 'I have no doubt the people will vote to accept the statehood law by a substantial majority" he said.
 The governor said he would prepare proclamations calling a special session of the territorial legislature to vote funds and ap- prove elections of two senators and one representative, and would issue the proclamation on his return to Alaska Wednesday. ,"We want to be on hand to oc- cupy our seats in the new ses- sion of Congress the first of the year." he said.
 Stepovich said he has not yet decided whether to seek the cleo tive post of governor in the new state. A Republican, he was ap- pointed by President Eisenhower to head the predominately Demo cratic territory.

Military Coup Gusts King of Iraq And Proclaims Pro -Nasser Government

BEIRUT, Lebanon, R-A mili- / tary coup busted the pro-West regime today in Iraq, keystone of the Baghdad Pact, and pro claimed a pro-Nasser government.
 Baghdad radio said King Faisal had been overthrown an a repub- lie established.
 The broadcast said crown prince Abdul Ilah, Faisal's uncle and former regent, was beaten to death by a mob and his body dismembered and burned in the streets. f
 Reports from Cairo, capitol of Nasser's United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria, said Premier Nuri Said, the pro- Western strong man of Iraq, also had been killed by mob.
 There was no direct word of 23-year-old Faisal, who also is Chief of State of the new Iraq- Jordon Federation formed Feb. IA, 1858, to counter Nasser's JAR, organized two weeks be- fore The Communist radio in Budapest said he had been ar rested by the Army.
 The Jordan embassy in London announced, however, that 23 year-old King Hussein of Jordan, FaisaIs Hashemite cousin, was undertaking to re-establish "pub- lie security and order on both sides of the union."
 There were no reports to bear out Cairo claims that the revolt has spread to Jordan, and there was no clear-cut indication whether the rebel leaders had es- tablished effective control throughout Iraq.
 All that was known for certain was that the Baghdad radio was in the hands of the revolutionary leaders.
 The coup, if successful, would be stunning blow to the West. It would knock king pin-Iraq- out of the anti-Communist Bagh- dad Pact in the Middle East.
 Iraq is one of the Middle East's richest oil countries. The Brit ish-controlled Iraqi Petroleum Co.,, produces most of Iraq's oil.
 The Baghdad broadcasts were greeted with jubilation in Cairo, Damascus, Moscow and East Eur opean satellite capitols.
 Here in Beirut, rent for more than two months by revolt against pro-Western President Camille Glamour, rebels in the Moslem quarter celebrated with a wild firing of guns.

1t may come as a surprise,
but wrestling is the fastest
growing participation sport in
high school.
Often derided by some fans,
wrestling has made rapid gains
in popularity in the last few
years.
A recent magazine article
disclosed that 1,940 high school
teams participated in the sport
last year. That figure prob
ably will be. doubled this year.
AS Vic Blue, Wakefield coach,
puts it, wrestling provides ac-
tivity for boys who might be
excluded from other sports be-
cause of size or lack of ability.
Because a boy may feel he
is not big enough to play foot
ball or fast enough to be on
the track team he'll not go out
for sports" Blue explained.
But in wrestling it isn't nee
essary to be big or fast. 1t
helps. but it isn't essential.
There are classes for all
weights and any boy in good
physical condition can partic-
ipate."
~ \ x*
Wrestling also shows a steady
advance in crowd appeal. For
example, Westinghouse in
six home matches this season
has drawn a total of nearly
5000, or an average of about
800. In a recent match with
its neighboring rival, Wake
field, the crowd was about
$500.
The climax of the season
comes Friday and Saturday,
when Wakefield will be host to
IL other schools in the sixth
annual Metropolitan tourna-
ment. This is the largest entry
list since the tourney began.
Wakefield is defending cham

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 Up
The Boston Celtics were at the
Garden to play the New York
Knickerbockers and big Bill
Russell broke into a grin as
he stepped into the circle for
the center jump against g.
Ifoot-11 Ray Felix.

who now stars for the Celtics,
the best in the National Bas-
ketball Association and. some
say, the best basketball team
ever assembled.
Within the next 48 minutes
of play, or until his stuff shot

Danko also is quick and fast
and has much natural ability.
He replaced Nacincik early in
the game and probably had his
best night in two years. The
broken ankle that sidelined
Danko most of last season
could have cost him stardom
this year.
Danko contributed II points,
but like Young, he has to be
seen to be appreciated.
Early Lapse Corrected
Maryland had some early
defensive lapses against Vir-
ginia, but Millikan made a
couple of quick substitutions
to straighten out matters after
Virginia took 100 lead. Jerry
Bechtle and Danko came in
and the Terps soon were ahead
at 17-16, and for good.
Herb Busch, the conferences
second leading scorer with a
17.6 average, was roaming near
the basket, but almost every
time the ball was passed to
him Busch would tumble it. or
it would bounce of his ample
stomach. And Bunge and
Charlie Mcneil were giving
Busch a hard time when he
did catch the ball. He finally
scored IL points.
