Mark Alaska July 4

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 4
(AP).-With pomp and pag-
eantry, parades and fireworks,
Alaskans today Saluted the adj
dition of a 10th star to the
Nations flag.
Celebrations throughout the
big 49th State provided tradi-
tional Alaska observanceS Of
independence Day with a fes-
tive climax to 80 years of terri
torial status.
Alaska actually became a
member of the Union last jan
uary. but the new flag repre-
sented a colorful finale to the
assumption of Statehood.
AS the new 49-star flag was
raised in ceremonies at Juneau,
the State Capital, Alaska Gov.
William A. Egan told a crowd
OF more than 5000:
This act serves to bind all
the communities of the 40 great
States of the United States of
America as one. And that 49th
star, ladies and gentlemen. will
always maintain the dignity
that is intended for it,"
Earlier today at a fiag-rais-
ing ceremony in Sitka, the old
Russian Capital of Alaska, Gov.
Egan described the new flag
as the fulfillment of a promise
made in 1867 when the United
States paid $7.2 million for
the Land Of the Midnight Sun.
Alaskans did not forget that
by this time next year a new
5O-star flag will be adopted
officially, rejecting the admis-
sion OF Hawaii as the newest
member of the Union.
In a big parade at Juneau,
floats honoring Hawaii received
cheers from throngS of resi-
dents and visitors who lined the
city streets.
