this week.
The Trojans stomped Sherwood
1876 last week to retain domi-
nance among what is left of Mont

The tosses brought Willsie's I'd

Griffin got the other score on
a 13-yard run.
Sherwood's classy Ronnie Pur-
cell ran 90 yards for the Sher-
wood score.
Guard Don Benson, tackle Da"-

THE 10th STAR

T-,a North Star-the brightest star of them all, the newest and the biggest star shone proudly our flags Monday. Of course it located in various places on each individual flag but it there where it belonged little flags and big flags throughout the community.
 There has not been new star the flag of the United States of America since 1912 and never have group of American citizens fought longer cour- ageously than Alaskans for the privilege of calling themselves real Americans
 With statehood come responsibilities which will have to be met inelligently and leaders must be chosen not from Washington, DC. but by the people of Alaska. Only by non-partisan cooperative effort can the biggest State in the Union boom into the most self sustaining state of them all.
 an Those of northern Alaska who almost smell the salt of Siberian mines when the West wind blows realize how the signing of the Statehood bill by Pres ident Eisenhower will show those behind the Iron Curtain how the land of the free and the home of the brave find happiness in democratic way of life

Stepoviches Display
 Alaskan Flag In Calf.

SARATOGA, Cal, RD-A strange flag-eight gold stars arrayed on blue field to depict the big dip per and the north star-fluttered proudly from the pole in front of 1865O Sobey Road here Monday.
 Breathlessly, Mrs. Michael Step ovich, wife of Alaska's 39-year- old governor, ran up the Alaska territorial flag when she heard the news of Alaska's impending statehood.
 She is here with their eight children, aged six moths to 10 years, visiting Mikes mother, Mrs. Vuka Stepovich, who lives in this mountain suburb 40 miles south-southwest of San Francisco.
 Her husband the governor, had called her long distance from Washington just after she heard of the Senate's vote on the radio.
 "When Mike took office little over a year ago he said at his inauguration he hoped he would be the last appointed governor of Alaska" she said.
 He's been too busy working for statehood to decide whether he'll run for the governorship.' ''

"DOubter Williams Loses Bet On Statehood Bill

BOISE, Idaho. LR - They some times called Alaska's Attorney General 'Doubter Williams" be- cause he was so pessimistic about the territory's chances for statehood.
 In fact, J. Gerald Williams was so positive Congress wouldn't clear Alaska statehood this ses- sion he offered to push a peanut 120 miles with his nose if it did from Alaska's Tok Junction to Big Delta
 The Senate sent the statehood bill to the President Monday, as Williams visited friends in Boise. His reaction? Unfettered joy, of course. But then a rueful

Congress Wants To Adjourn By Aug. 2

WASHINGTON, R Sen. Styles Bridges (R-ND said to- day Republicans would like to see Congress wind up it's work and go home Aug 2.
 Sen. Mike Mansfield of Mon tana, acting Senate Democratic leader said it might be possible to conclude the session at that time unless unexpected controversy crops up over some of the major legislation yet to be acted upon.
 Bridges, who heads the Senate Republican Policy Committee, said that with the Alaska state hood bill out of the way, he does not believe there will be extended Senate debate on any remaining measure.

Alaskan Statehood Forces Texas To
 Change Its Tune

FORT WORTH, Tex.y R-Wil- liam J. Marsh kept busy Tues day answering excited telephone callers who demanded to know: What are you going to do about that line?"
 "We'll have to do something, ? Marsh told them in a Liverpool accent that has resisted western speech for 54 years he's lived here. The voice was a little sad today.
 For Marsh is the author, with the late Gladys Wright, of the official state song, Texas, Our Texas"
 That third line died Monday when Congress passed the state hood bill.
 A reporter asked Marsh if people could wink at the sta tistics and sigh for the good old days when Texas was the largest state and go on singing the line.
 'For a while anyway" said Marsh, noting that Alaska isn't officially a state.
 q think you can say the com poser feels the word brightest should be substituted" Marsh said.
 He declared the chorus and last two verses of the song will stand as written. They recall the states history in glowing terms and bespeak a bright future.
 And the last two lines partic- ularly will remain, he said firm ly: Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty state"
 Texas, our Texas! So won derful, so great"
 It became evident Alaska's en- try as the largest state probably will not dampen Texans exuber. ance greatly.
 Man-on-the-street comment rar like this:
 Sometimes one mile in one place is worth a half a dozer somewhere else," said R. L. Mil Ter of Dallas.
 "Of course you know Alaska isn't really as big as Texas-not when you melt all the ice," saic J. U. Sutter, Grand Prairie.

ButrOyich Acclaims SeatOn For
 Order Abolishing Fish Traps

ANCHORAGE, R - Republican gubernatorial candidate John Bu- trovich said yesterday Interior Secretary Fred Seaton's decision to ban fish traps twill long live in the memory of all Alaskans. !"
 Butrovich, who along with COP Senate candidate Mike Stepovich had sought Seaton's decision to ban traps early last month, said "All Alaska owes tremendous vote of thanks. to Secretary Sea- ton for what he has done.
 "The first time in our history that a Secretary of the Interior has been willing to stand up and be counted for Alaska was when Fred Seaton sparked the fight for Statehood.
 ''Now he has carried through with his announcement that fish traps are gone forever"
 Butrovich, who arrived here with Stepovich and Seaton, said Seaton's action "offers positive proof that the Republican Party can and will do for Alaska those things which need doing"
 Butrovich added
 Naturally I am pleased that MT. Seaton's announcement was made in identical letters to me and to Mike Stepovich. It is sig nificant, I think, that certain Dem- ocrats were attempting to embar- rass MT. Seaton by a public cla- nor about the fish traps.
 ''The Secretary's decision, as we now know, was reached long be- fore he left Washington for his current trip to Alaska. He has been generous enough to acknow- ledge the fact that Mike Stepo- vich and myself - without any public clamor m had helped him arrive at this far-reaching de- cision."

 He called attention ro the Vice Presidents Alaska campaign for Republicans, and told his audience that in earlier speeches Nixon had spoken favorably of high un- employment compensation.
 A bill that would have provided for extra jobless benefits, failed however, Kennedy said, without receiving support of Nixon.
 He spoke against Interior De- partment power policies in a rap at Interior Secretary Seaton, who also arrived in Anchorage yester- day to campaign for Republican hopefuls. Seaton's power policies, Kennedy said, twill doom Alaska as it has other Western states where public power projects have been baked"

Stassen Again "Gunning Fora Richard Nixon

WASHINGTON, R m Harold E. Stassen, who waged dump Nixon" campaign in 1856, seemed to be relaunching it today.
 He held a political post mortem with President Eisenhower and then pointedly omitted Vice Pres ident Nixon from a list of Re publican Presidential possibilities for 1860.
 Stassen gave no indication, that Eisenhower in any way approved or disapproved this omission.
 Now Philadelphia lawyer, Stassen is a former Presidential adviser. Before the 1856 COP Ma tional Convention he led an un- successful attempt to jettison Nix on as the Vice Presidential nom- inee.
 The campaign didn't get very far and, in the end, Stassen him. self made a speech for Nixon in the convention.
 After his visit with Eisenhower today, Stassen told newsmen he believes the Republican Party can win in 1860 with any one of four men as the Presidential can didate.
 StaSsen'S list:
 Nelson Rockefeller, who won a spectacular victory November in the New York gubernatorial race
 Henry Cabot Lodge, U. s. Ann bassador to the United Sations.
 Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton.
 Asked if he didn't have some body else in mind, such as Nixon, Stassen replied:
 Well, I think this 1858 election speaks for itself in that regard" 1"
 To question whether he is "still going to try to dump Nixon, ? Stassen replied that q don't think it should be expressed in those terms"
