Loughron 7 obocco Firm
Moves Into New Home

The 93-year-old firm Of
Daniel Loughran Co., Inc,
wholesale seller Of cigars, to-
bacco, cigarettes and candy,
was getting settled today in its
newly-built home at Second
and X streets, s.e., near the
new Star building.
The firm is operated by four
brothers. John Loughran is
president. Joseph is treasurer,
Charles is secretary and Ed
ward is vice president. They
say 1t is the oldest firm of its
kind continuously in the same
family here.
Their father started the
business with a pushcart, and
it was officially established in
1867. The current move eli
makes a number the firm has
made within the last century.
Blue eyed, gray haired
President Loughran said: IT
hope we will be here for the
next 100 years"
The company began at the
northeast corner of Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. NV, now the site of the
Washington Hotel, in the old
Corcoran building, President
Loughran recalled. Later, it
was located at 1408 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, NV, the old
Owens House, quite a gambling
resort, Mr.. Loughran said.
Then it moved to 1347 Penn
sylvania avenue, NV, but with
the coming of great numbers
of automobiles, the customers
could not park nearby. so the
firm moved to 1909 H street,
NV, Mr.. Loughran said.
Subsequently, it moved to
Eleventh and D streets. s.w..
from which it has just been
evacuated by redevelopment.
I'VE have moved with the
progress of the city," President
Loughran observed philosophi-
cally.
The company has a house
in Baltimore and another in
Hagerstown, Md. 1t covers

Shore; Northern Virginia, the

COTTON MARKET
GOES FULL DAY
WITHOUT TRADE

NEW ORLEANS, (AP).-
The New orleans Cotton
Exchange closed without
trading yesterday for the
first time in its 88-year
history.
Exchange officials, in
kilograms to President Eli
senhower and Agriculture
Secretary Benson, blamed
the situation on the Gov
ernment's farm price sup
port program, and warned
it might force the exchange
to close.
Oficials said the Gov
ernment'S price support
program has grown so big
it now buys and sells
"about 10 per cent of the
cotton crop" That leaves
little room for private
traders.

AlaskanS Present Tokens of Appreciation To The EisenhoWers

WASHINGTON, R - Grateful Alaskans presented President and Mrs. Eisenhower with several tokens of appreciation prior to the signing Saturday of the proc lamation admitting Alaska to statehood.
 Waino E. Hendrickson, acting Territorial Governor, gave the President a blue fringed silk and rayon Alaska flag as a gift from the new state.
 To Mrs. Eisenhower, as a per sonal gift from Mrs. Hendrickson, the territorial official presented a small gold charm with the Alas ka flag inlaid in blue enamel.
 Robert c. Atwood, Anchorage publisher and chairman of the Alaska Statehood Commission, gave the President one of the 1O5- nm. shells fired in a 49-shell sa- lute by the Army in Anchorage when the statehood bill passed the Senate last June 30.
 Accompanying the engraved shell was collection of Alaskan minerals, including bottle of oil from Alaska's first oil well.

mltted.
 All except three chairs had been removed from the Cabinet Room to make room for camera men.
 Grouped about Eisenhower were Vice President Nixon, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn D-Tex) Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton, and six Alaskan officials and former officials.
 The Alaskans were:
 SenatorS-el E. l.. Bartlett and Ernest Gruening and Representa- tive-elect Ralph J. Rivers, all
 Democrats; Robert Atwood of Anchorage, chairman of the Alas kan Statehood Committee; Waino Hendrickson, who has been acting Governor, and Mike Stepovich, a former Governor.
 With an estimated 212,OOO popu- lation - smallest of any state - Alaska also will add a new ingre- dient to the nations politics. Tn 1860, Alaskans for the first time will cast three electorial votes for President.
 Politically, the new state gov- ernment will be solidly Demo- cratic from Governor William A. Egan - the only elected state of ficial - through the three-mem- Der Congressional delegation. Only a smattering of Republicans made their way into the State Legisla- ture in the November elections.
 Still unanswered is the dura- tion of the terms which Bartlett, for IA years Alaska's voteless dele gate in the House, and Gruening, a former appointive Governor, will serve in the Senate. This will be determined, probably next Wednesday, when the two partici- pate in Senate ceremony. Each

 Subdivisions under this department are admin istrative Agriculture Fish and Farm, Forests and Parks, Lands Minerals and Information.
 Some of these subdivisions do not apply to North western Alaska but mineral development and lands should have representation in this area.
 We couldn't develop properly with control in far away Washington. We've crossed that hazard and with full citizenship urge that the four parts of the new state as provided in the Constitution and voted by the people of Alaska, be taken into sderation when it comes to the economic development of the state.

Governor of Virginia Extends Official
 Welcome" To Alaska

RICHMOND, Va, LR - Gov ernor Lindsay Almond Jr. Satur- day extended official welcome" from the "mother of states to Alaska as member of the union.
 "In recognition of Alaska's s statehood, I have directed that the United States flag with its 49 stars be flown over Virginia's capitol as quickly as is feasible" '" said Almond in a brief statement.
 Apparently this would be July 4 or later, since an old resolution of Congress bars use of the new flag prior to that date.
 The governor added:
 ''I wish for Alaska success and happiness in Statehood. hope sincerely its citizens will enjoy and profit from the benefits of it's new status and will guard zeal ously those rights guaranteed it under the matchless Constitution of the United States.
 q call upon the citizens of Vir- ginia to take note of this historic event and to join me in extending our warm and sincere greetings to Alaska

will draw from a box containing three slips of paper marked to denote a term of two, four or six years.
 Alaska's quest for statehood has gone on since 1916 mn nearly half the period it has spent under the United States flag since it's pur- chase from Russia in 1867 for $7,2OO,OOO.
 To reach it's goal, Alaska had to beat back the arguments of law makers that it was not financially capable of handling statehood, that it's separation by Canada from the other 48 states would weaken the union, and that giving it's small population two Senate seats would dilute the vote of larger states.
 In granting statehood, Congress gave Alaska the right to select 103 million acres of it's area as a tax base for financing it's state gov ernment.
 It also granted to the Presi- dent the right at any time to set aside military defense areas in that portion of Alaska north and west of the Porcupine, Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers.
 Congress also withheld from the new State the right to admins ter it's fisheries and wildlife re- source until the State Legislature acts in a manner to assure its management in the broad national interest.

PRESIDENT SIGNS ALASKA STATEHOOD BILL JANUARY 3

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower Saturday proudly pro- claimed statehood for vast Alaska and then unfurled the new United States flag of 13 stripes and 49 stars.
 Federal and Alaskan officials watched as Eisenhower performed the two separate acts in the White House cabinet room.
 The new flag, which doesn't become official until next July 4, will have seven staggered rows of seven stars each.
 At the brief ceremony, Eisen- hover signed the Alaskan state hood proclamation and the flag order: Dwight D. Eisenhower, 3 January, 1959." He used six pens on each document and handed some of them out as souvenirs.
 In his brief remarks, Eisen- hover said he was highly priv ileged to welcome Alaska as the 18th state He recalled that it had been almost a half cen tury since the 47th and 18th were admitted.
 Eisenhower said it gave him a feeling of ratification to welcome Alaska into the union. He con- graduated the Alaskan delegation to Congress.
 Then Eisenhower unfurled the new flag as it stood in it's stan dard. It had been provided by the Army Quartermaster Corps.
 Three flags provided a bright background on the otherwise plain setting mn the new 49-star flag, the present American flag and the blue Presidential banner.
 House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who attended the ceremonies, commented later that he thought it was a "very beautiful flag"
 Eisenhower interrupted a holi- day at his Gettysburg, Pa, farm for the ceremony. He flew here by helicopter early Saturday morning, and planned to return there later in the day.
 With the stroke of a pen, Eisen- hover took the final step which shoves the boundaries of the United States 1,5OO miles to the west, within 55 miles of the Rus sian mainland. Only three miles separate Russian-held Big Dio- mede Island in the Boring Strait from Little Diomede Island, a part of the new U. S. state.
 Admission of Alaska eliminates a 42-year statehood drive and brings into the union a resource rich region more than twice the size of Texas. It is nearly one fifth as large as the other 48 states combined.
 Alaska is the first non-contig- tious state and the first to join the union since 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona were ad-
