that we too in Christiansted, including the hospital,

general can be faced with a very serious water problem if
appropriate and timely steps, very inexpensive at the pres
ent time, are not taken.
In 1948, I gave the Government two sites at Estate

available to prevent the pumps from sucking in a circle

2 Polar Bears Washed Up On Oregon Shore

NEWPORT, Ore, Rl-CarcasseS of a mother polar bear and a cub washed up on the ocean here to confound local residents and animal experts.
 How far south does an ice berg flow?" exclaimed Jack Marks, director of the Portland, Ore, zoo, when told of the in cident. "This is one for the oceanographers.
 The bears first were noticed Sunday by a child walking along the beach. He reported his dis covery but found no believers.
 Monday, however, Flora Laur- itsen, motel manager, also saw the bears. They had washed up near her motel. The tide later carried the cub back to sea, but the seven-foot-long carcuss of the larger bear remained on the sand.
 Marks said it probably would never be known how the polar bears, native to the Boring Sea area, ever got to an Oregon beach.
 T imagine they were carried out to sea in a storm, probably riding an ice cake that melted when it reached warmer water" he said. "Then the bears prob ably drowned"

Chamber Meeting
By Ruth Mclean

'It is time to visit your new State" That will be the promo ton slogan for the large tour directors because they feel tour ism will pick up with Statehood. ," This statement was made by Frank Whaley of Wien Alaska Airlines to the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce at their Monday luncheon. He also said that there are fewer people coming in over the Alcan High way this summer; however Wien's package tours are increasing MT. Whaley stressed the fact that the best way to popularize a sec ton is by word of mouth from satisfied visitors in previous seasons.
 President Jerry Manning read letters received from Mrs. George Peckham, who visited Nome with the Anchorage group, and Henry Camarot, Legislative Council sec retary, thanking the Nome Cham Der and the community for their warm hospitality.
 Guests at the Monday luncheon included Frank Whaley. Mrs. James A. von der Heydt, MT. and Mrs. Forbes Baker of Alaska Air lines, MT. and Mrs. G. w. Din dore, Palm Springs, Calf; MT. and Mrs. E.. A. Griswold, Palmer, Mass; and MT. and Mrs. Earl w. Scrogum, Alexandria, Minnesota, The last three couples were part of Wien's tour group visiting in Nome.

He said that both major pa- ties had pledged statehood also fo Hawaii, and urged that the Senate Democratic leadership quickly bring up the bill to grant statehood for the islands.
 As the roll was called in the Senate and the count of those in favor kept piling up, some among the handful of Alaskans who have sat in the Senate galleries throughout the six-day debate dabbed nervously at their eyes with their handkerchiefs des- bite a smile on their faces.
 When the vote was announced, the several hundred spectators in the gallery broke into applause. Although it is against Senate rules, there was no effort to stop it by Sen. Richard l.. Neu- berger O-Ore) who was presid- ing.
 Many among the Alaskans left the gallery to go directly to the chapel in the capital to offer their prayers.

President Eisenhower Expected To Sign Statehood Bill By Thursday


 diaries as set out in the bill and on provisions permitting the Pres ident to make national defense withdrawals in the northwest section of the state. Defeat of any one of these propositions would reject statehood.
 The main controversy centers on the defense withdrawal pro- vision, which has been questioned on constitutional grounds.
 The bill provides that the President, at will, may pull out for defense uses such areas as he chooses in the northern and west enr parts of the new state. Those areas would go under federal jurisdiction, much in the fashion of an Army fort and it's attached operating grounds in the continental United States. In the areas subject to that ac- tion Alaska could not pick lands for state ownership without specific Presidential approval.
 New Election
 This balloting is expected to be held simultaneously with the pri- mary election to determine nomi- nees for state and national of fices. The general election will follow the primary by not less than 90 days but no later than Dec. 1.
 Results of this election and of the balloting on the separate propositions then will be certified to the President by Alaska's Gov ernor Mike Stepovich. This cer- tification will serve as the basis for the Presidential proclamation which then will make Alaska's admission official
 Passage of the legislation was greeted with exuberance by Alas kans in Washington.
 Gov. Mike Stepovich said:
 "Thank God for everything that's happened here. We will show the people of the United States they have not made a 
 Delegate Bob Bartlett, the Democrat who represents Alaska in the House of Representatives, said:
 "This is great day. This is the greatest day in Alaska's his history. The Congress has acted wisely and in the national in terest. We of Alaska will justify what has been done this day-we shall make there state mighty in every way"
 Bartlett predicted Alaskans will accept terms of statehood by pos sibly as much as 8-1 margins.
 In other comments. Sen. Will liam F. Knowland R-Calif) de- clared that Alaska is destined to become one of the great states of the Amerisan union."

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska stood on the edge of statehood it's 42-yeah fight near an end.
 The Senate, in an overWhelm- ing 64-20 vote accompanied by gallery applause, completed con- gressional action Monday night on a bill to admit Alaska as the nations 49th state.
 Only Presidential approval, ex- pected by Thursday, and formal acceptance of it's terms by Alas kans are required to make state hood reality.
 Sponsors confidently predicted completion of these preliminaries late this fall, in time for the new states two senators and one rep resentative to be on hand for the opening of a new Congress next January.
 The action portended the first change in the boundaries of the United States since 1912 when statehood was extended to Ariz- ona and New Mexico.
 For Alaskans, statehood will mean that for the first time since the territory's acquisition in 1867 it's residents will have voting representation in the House and Senate, can elect their own gov ernor and state officials, and can vote for President and Vice Presi- dent.
 Statehood also would give Alaska the right to select 103, 3,350,000 acres of its area, in cluding mineral lands, as a poten- tial tax base for development purposes. This still would leave more than two-thirds of the new state in federal ownership.
 At present more than 99 per cent of the total area of Alaska is owned by the federal govern ment, just as public lands such as the national forests are so owned. The new state would take over it's chosen areas as the actual owner, with the right to sell the land, lease it or use it otherwise.
 55 Miles From Russia
 For the United States, it will extend the limits of the union within 55 miles of the Russian mainland. Only three miles sep arate Russian-held Big Diomede Island in the Boring Strait from Little Diomede Island which would be part of the new state.
 It will also, advocates say, pro- vide the northern area with the stability and impetus needed to spur development of it's economy and attract increased population.
 On the final vote, 31 Demo- crats and 33 Republicans lined up to support Alaska's bid for admission. Thirteen Democrats and seven Republicans opposed the bill.
 Still ahead are votes by Alas kans on accepting immediate
