HOW MUCH WILL STATEHOOD COST ME?''

The following atricle has been prepared by three well-known valley residents Miss ". Louise Kellogg, Mrs. Dorothy Haaland, and James Hurley and Is being published as public service by this newspaper The publishing of this article does not necessarily indicate the thinking or beliefs of this newspaper.
 Previous articles in this series have shown that we can afford statehood. In fact, we cannot aft ford to defeat statehood If we should turn down statehood, a most unlikely possibility, we would still have a Territorial government, but it would not be the same as 1t IS now, Or as 1t has been i'll the past. We would be a people stripped of the advantages that made our territorial status bearable if not desirable These advantages were the sympathy of our friends in Congress, and the admiration and support of the general U. $. public. A defeat of statehood would show two things (l) that we do not appreciate, as do mature American citizens, the right of government (2) that we don't know our own minds, since we voted overwhelmingly for statehood on two previous oc- casions. Our problems in the past have resulted largely from our dependence upon a Congress too often indifferent to our needs. What help could the Territory expect ii dependent upon Con- gress not only indifferent to us but also disgusted with Us. We would be in a mess and Congress would let us stew in it.
 More than this we cannot af- ford to turn down the many ad- vantages statehood offers. We shall have voting representatives in Congress to protect our inter ests and to give US a voice in national and international affairs Congress will no longer be able 10 discriminate against Alaska, because, under the Constitution, all states must be treated alike A more adequate court system shall result in prompter, and hence. more real justice. The ex- perience of every western state has shown that industry, and with II increased population, will come with statehood
 There are other advantages that apply especially to the Ma tanuska Valley For the first time this area, as well as other less populated areas, will be as- sured of representation in the

WI "Deserter'' Is HOnOred On Veterans Day

SAN DIEGO, Tex, R - Forty years ago Gabriel Garcia ran out into no-man's land in France to save a wounded comrade. Tuesday the Army, which had carried him as deserter since 1919, honored him for his courage.
 Garcia, 68, a farm 1aborer who speaks only Spanish, was the hon. or guest at San Antonio's Veterans Day celebration. A military plane flew him to San Antonio and back to his home here. A general pinned medals on his chest and spoke of his valor. He sat on a reviewing stand with the brass and watched troops march by.
 When it was over, Garcia said through an interpreter: "What else is there to say but to thank my country and my government from the bottom of my heart?"
 Garcia was wounded by heavy enemy fire near St. Juvin, France, October 16, 1918, while rescuing comrade. He was hospitalized at Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, from July to September, 1919, then told he could leave. Some one gave him some papers and Garcia assumed he was dis charged. Later he lost the papers,
 Last March he asked medical treatment at the Veterans Admin istration office here. There he learned he was carried as de- serter.
 His record was strengthened out and Tuesday It. Gen. G. s. Meloy IT,, 4th Army commander, pinned on Garcia's chest the Distinguished Service Cross, the Purple Heart and the World War I Victory Me dal with three battle clusters.

Reds Charge US. Plans Aggression From the Moon
By MAX HARRISON

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., R - the Soviet Union charged today the United States has "nightmar- ish' plans to set up military bases on the moon to launch massive attacks on Soviet cities.
 The Soviet charge came from Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin as the U. MS 81-nation political committee opened de- bate on the problem of space control.
 Zorin told the committee the Soviet Union could not agree to any international program for the peaceful uses of outer space un- less the United States pledged it. self to liquidate all it's foreign military bases.
 He repeated previous Soviet de- mands for a ban on the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles and other space weapons as an- other condition to any coopera- tion in space experiments such as the United States is urging.
 The key to the whole problem, he said, is to adopt measures which will take into account the security of all sides on an equal basis.
 Zorin quoted Senator Lyndon B. Johnson D-Tex), Senate Majority Leader, as saying, Control over cosmic space means control over the whole world"
 Chief U. s. Delegate Henry Ca bot Lodge said the U. s. position would be set forth in detail later, but he accused Zorin of distorting the U. s. position. He charged he was deliberately trying to mis- lead the committee.
 ''I believe the Soviet Union un- derstands full well that our bases exist only for defense," Lodge declared.

Maneuvers Should Be Held In Safer Areas Says U. s. Admiral

SAN SIMEON, Calif., R - Flu ture large scale Army landing maneuvers might better be held on the Kidiak Peninsula, Alaska, the Olympic Peninsula, Wash, or on the lower California coast, Rear Admiral C. K. Duncan, ann phibious commander of Operation Rocky Shoals, said today.
 Admiral Duncan made the com ment in critique winding up the past several days mock maneu- vers involving 13,000 Army com bat troops and 40 Navy vessels near here.
 Three fatalities occurred. A sol dier was crushed under bull dozer yesterday while loading equipment preparatory to shipping troops back to their bases. A small signal unit plane crshed, killing two men.
 Admiral Duncan was somewhat critical of the San Simeon area. He said an area is needed for such operations where participating forces need not worry so much about possible damage to private property. One landing beach was right at this town of San Simeon.

Hope Diamond To Be Nucleus Of Gem Collection

WASHINGTON, R - The Hope Diamond, beautiful gem with a dark past, belonged to the U. S. government today.
 Officials of the Smithsonian h. stitution hoped to build national jewel collection, with the 4412 carat stone as a nucleus.
 A gift of New York gem mer- chant Harry Winston, the diamond arrived here by registered mail, insured for one million dollars.
 After the dark blue diamond was delivered to the Smithson- ian by postman under guard, it was formally presented by Mrs. Winston. The fabled Hope was ac- cepted by Dr. Leonard Carmi- chael. secretary of the Institution.
 The Hope was smuggled out of India about 300 years ago. Since then, it has passed through many hands. A number of it's owners died violently, and it acquired a reputation of bringing ill fortune.

Cubans Surprised In Loading Guns On Florida Coast

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla, R .- Federal agents surprised nearly two dozen Cuban rebel sympa- thizers in the act of loading muni- tions aboard a plane and charged P persons with violating the neu- trality act. i .
 Two women are among the group seized with an arms-laden BIS bomber~on abandoned Pros pect Air Field Monday night.
 Border Patrol agents blasted a fleeing autos tire with machine gun bullets, preventing the geta- way of five of their prisoners. The airplane pilot, who identified himself as Rodger Steadman, Al, of Miami, a native of Huron, S. D., vanished in truck but was ar rested later at a Fort LauderdAe bus station 7,
 Agents said big assortment of rifles, machine guns, ammunition, medical supplies, boots and field equipment were placed aboard the plane as they watched from concealment.
 Some of the material was in packages marked "Fidel." Fidel Castro is the head of the rebel army which dominates much of Oriente Province.
 There was no immediate word on where the plane came from or who owned it. Agents said the last owner of available record was the Bank of Anchorage, Alaska.
 The two-engined plane landed about dusk on the former airfield which is being developed as an industrial site by Fort Lauderdale. Sharpeyed residents of nearby homes telephoned Broward Coun- ty authorities. Deputy sheriffs and state and local police reinforced federal officers and helped round up those arrested.
 Police said the plane was almost loaded with freight taken from cars and from weeds around the fields edge when the raiders went into action:
 William Wetherington, one of the agents, hastily drove an auto mobile in front of the plane to block its path when it looked as if the plane was about to take off. One of the group loading the plane gunned the engines but gave up when officers approached him.
 South Florida has been the scene of numerous daring attempts to supply Castro'S forces.
