News Letter
By Mary Lee Council Secretary to Senator Bartlett

4s-Star Flag
 Possible threats to the official recognition of a 49-star flag have been off and on again during the past few weeks, and efforts to deprive Alaska of it's "hour of glory" by substitution of 50-star flag have been opposed by Sen- ator. Bartlett.
 On the day that he proclaimed Alaska a state last January 3, President Eisenhower issued an executive order setting forth the design of the 49-star American flag which could be flown on and after July 4 of this year. How ever, that order stated that pres ent 48-star flags would be utilized until unserviceable by govern agencies subject "to such limited exemptions as the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of General Services may approve" :" Subsequently,, the General Serv- ices Administration issued a rul- ing making exceptions where fed eral agencies could purchase the 49-star flag, namely, in foreign countries, in the state of Alaska and in personal offices of Depart ment Secretaries, Under Secre- taries and Assistant Secretaries and heads of independent agen- cies. The Defense Department has informed Senator Bartlett that authorization has been given to the military establishments in Alaska to purchase 49-star flags and sim liar permission has been extended to the Military District of the Dis trict of Columbia.
 William E. Beltz
 By now the name of William E. Beltz is known all over the world. People who have no knowledge at all of the English language have read about him and have seen his picture, for the Voice of America has sent out special feature ar ticle on the President of the first Alaska State Senate.
 Emphasis was placed on the fact that there are no racial barriers in Alaska and that the first man to hold this high office is of Eskimo blood. It was pointed out that Frank Peratrovich, member of the Indian race from Southeastern Alaska, was a President of the Alaska Territorial Senate, and that it was he who put the name of Bill Beltz in nomination for the presidency of the first State Sen ate. The Voice of America trans lated the article into many lan- guages and sent it throughout the world for publication.

In Control
OfPoIIution

Legislation that would en-
able the United States Public
Health Service to conduct ex-
tensive research in relatively
UNEMPLOYED fields of water pol
LUTON control was introduced
today by Representative Reuss,
Democrat of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Reuss' resolution calls for
studies of means to improve
sewage treatment and disposal,
of the effects Of dumping oil
and nuclear wastes in navigabie
streams and the ocean and OF
methods to control the dump
ing Of sewage and wastes from
ships using navigable waters.
The legislator approvingly
noted the Nation has a Federal
grant program to help commun-
tiles finance waste disposal
works construction and that
enforcement procedures to curb
pollution are being improved.
The one activity in which the
Federal government is engaged
to no significant extent. he said.
is research in the waste disposal
field.
Mr. Reuss said he hopes.
among other things. that re-
search will develop new and less
expensive means of disposing
Of wastes.
