Congress Shackles Own Pioneering By Denying Statehood To Alaska

 Gruening also commented on Johnson's assertion thatl"we need to restore-in all our national policy-the great exuberance and confidence of a growing, ann bilious and determined nation. V. (anO to believe again in the strength of our ideals so that we are not fearful of their immi nent subversion and destruction"
 The Alaskan said the. United States twas a growing, ambitious and determined nation when it was admitting new states and setadily westward" and continued:
 "We believe then in the of our ideals Certainly the most basic of those ideals was and is government by con- sent of the governed We shall not have been true to that ideal until we apply it to Alaska"

WASHINGTON, tR - Alaska 'sSen." Ernest Gruening Saturday drew a parallel in a letter to Sen. Lyndon Johnson D-Texas) be- tween remarks in a recent speech by the Senator and fits obvious implications throughout of the desirability of moving vigorously ahead on Alaskan statehood"
 A former Alaska governor and one of three men elected by Alaskans to lobby for statehood, Gruening made public the letter in which he commented on ex- cerpts from the speech given before a gathering of news paper editors.
 To Johnson's assertion that the United States has ''put shackle on our own pioneering" the Alaskan declared:
 Never were truer words said about Alaska. Territorialism has certainly shackled our fine pio- neers there, ever since Alaska came under the flag 91 years ago."
 Of Johnson's statement that "the United States has with drawn into a narrow and mar rowing world of our own choos- ing" Gruening observed that statehood for Alaska would re-

Law of Sea Conference Ends In Deadlock

GENEVA, RAThe World Con ference on the Law of the Sea ended today in deadlock over a new definition of territorial wat CTS to replace the classic three mile limit. The same problem wrecked similar League of Nations meeting 28 years ago.
 Five new treaties on other mar itime matters were approved at the 86-nation meeting, which has been going on here for the past nine weeks under United Nations auspices. The agreements are binding on each nation after rat ification by it's government at home.
 In failing to achieve it's major objective, a new formula for ter ritorial waters, the conference foundered on the problem of exclusive fishing rights.
 Several nations have made var ous extensions to widen their fishing grounds. Chile. Peru and Ecuador have declared their ter ritorial waters extend 200 miles into the Pacific, where U. s. trawlers fish. Iceland and Nor way have ruled foreign trawlers out of an area created by drawing a line connecting the most prom inent headlands on the coast. This affects British fishermen who have piled the areas for years. Russia has extended it's claim into the rich, shallow Si- berian waters which Japanese fishermen exploit.
 The problem was referred back to the U. N. General Assembly, which prompted Iceland's Hans G. Andersen to declare this would not keep his country from doing what it could to bolster it's claim to a Emile exclusive fishing zone. Chile, Ecuador and Peru also said their 200-mile claim stands.
 The major Western maritime powers, who had unsuccessfully backed a six-mile compromise, informed the conference they would continue to recognize only the three mile limit. It was set up by a Dutch jurist in 1703.

MAY PROCLAIMED LAW DAY, U. S. A.

May l. 1858 has officially been designated as Law Day U. s. A. by proclamation of Mike Stepovich, Governor of Alaska.
 The ''rule of law" intimately affects the daily lives of all Americans In all of private and public affairs look to laws and courts to safeguard every persons life and property, and the freedoms estab lished under federal and state constitutions.
 This adherence to law has contributed greatly to nations growth and progress It has enabled commerce and industry to build upon firm founda- tiOn; the whole complex of social order has been erected on framework of law and justice, Without this universal recognition of law the basis of our free society individual liberties would be meaningless
 The rule of law is today being vigorously chal- lenged in large areas of the world Thoughtful men and in the Western world giving fresh at tention to its meaning In country must recognize that the preservation of equal justice under law is responsibility of all citizens. The vitality of our legal system depends upon broad public un- derstanding and support.
 It is fitting therefore, that throughout the United States special day is to be set aside this year for recognition of the role that law has played in Amer ican life, and for a rededication of the American people to it's great principles
 This national observance will be known as LAW DAY U. S. A. and will take place on May l, 1858 Organizations of all kinds, and the public schools, are being asked to recognize the day with special programs Their purpose will be to focus public attention upon the fact that respect of law is vital to the continued growth and strengthening of the nation to meet the threat of communism and the new demands of the future The nationwide observance will be important and significant demonstration to the world that the American people are united in their determination to preserve the way of life which our institutions of law and justice have made possible.

-.--.- Low pay, I'd say. But this is one job you can't attract better men by better salaries-the. thing would get out of hand. If my figures are correct the seven men collectively draw down about $40 for each council meeting, or less than $6 piece .. Wear and tear on the car and gas to get them there, coffee and refresh ments afterwards, doesn't leave much. We don't know yet whether they wanted to raise or lower their salaries.

Cleanup Campaign Proves Effective

The city's cleanup campaign, sparked by Mayor Coon, IS prov ing effective in cleaning up the trash and unsightly buildings and areas throughout the city. More than hundred loads had been carried to the dump by city trucks in the past week.
 More than 20 men turned out SaturGay to assist Ill cleaning up the Torgramson property on Alas ka Way. This is the site of the old Lyric Theatre, which partially burned Gown some years ago. The remains of the old structure has been an eyesore since, and per mission was granted the city to clean up the property, by the heirs of the late 'sTopsy" Tor gramson.
 The cleanup crew then moved to the Erskine property across from the city hall and burned off part of it. They assisted city en- ployees in loading and unloading the trash picked up throughout the city.
 Historic landmarks without any value historically, were load cd in the trucks and removed.

The finish of the race will see both of these running close. But then, with still about week to go, the other four fillys may get their heads higher into the wind as the finish line looms closer.
 x OUT OF THE RED-We learn from Eldon Lester, in charge of the ticket sales, the Committee is breathing easier these days, since ticket sales con- tinue to mou,rit and the Festival Committee IS assured of nice balance after all expenses paid. Two events other than the two big dances, that ought to stir up some interest, is the crab cooking con- test, and the crab shaking contest. There ought to be some keen competition in both of these events.
 < K ANOTHER SMOKER. Bob Fredericks, local wrestler, says smoker is being planned. Date is now set for May IF. The popular ity of the last two smokers staged here has resulted in a few of the boys getting together another card. Further details as to place, participants, etc, will be announc- ed soon.
 E * HISTORY REPEATS. A speech delivered by the late Merle Thorpe on March M, 1854, reads like 1858. In it, he said: "Depres- sion is becoming the most widely advertised product of 1954.' His subject, 'sHow to Promote a De- presSion." He noted that the five factors fall tried out successfully in the promotion of the degres- sionS of 1857, '73, '93, 1907 and the sthirties' " were at hand They were: l. Politics The ''Outs' pick on the ''ins" charge the admin stration with hard times and doing nothing about it The ''ins' think up defenses. 2. Statistics. May be used for any purpose. No one questions a statistic. 3. Bad News. The public loves to hear it 4. Plans. The "perpetual-emotion'' of the 3O.'s. The more cock-eyed the plan" the more useful. 5. The universal desire of human beings to find a scape-goat to blame for their own faults. MT. Thorpe assured his listeners that by exploiting all these factors the nation would soon have more idle tongues than idle hands
 We liked the remark of Red Motley, president of Parade Magazine, when he said: Its not so much that hard times are com ing, but that soft times are go-
 ing.'
 @ @ K SELL. Licking the recession,
 it appears, is a question of just that-sell! Esther Williams has
 gone into the swimming pool bus mess, and says they are selling faster than they can be manufac- tured. Her company reports its
 1858 first quarter as 150 percent
 ahead of the same period in 1857 they're even selling them in Alaska. The point in telling this success story is that it seems to
 prove Americans have money to spend.

 council members found they could not raise or lower their salaries
