By FRITZ WITH

WASHINGTON, @ = T h e shabby old desk that has kicked around the State Department for more years than anyone could re- member was due for the junk heap this month.
 But word that one of the big gest real estate bargains in Am erican history was probably signed on its broad top brought Sen. Gruening to the rescue.
 Historians told him the desk apparently was used on March 30, 1867, for signing the treaty where by the United States bought AL aska from Russia for less than two cents an acre.
 Gruening asked for the desk, unused to new, modern State De- partment quarters.
 The six-by-four foot desk is now destined for an Alaska mu- scum, Gruening said. However, he wants to look it over before de- ciding whether he will use it in his office here for while.
 George Sundborg, Gruening's administrative assistant, said the desk appears identical with a corner of one shown in a con- temporary painting of Secretary of State William H. Seward and Baron Edouard Stoeckl, repre- senting Car Alexander II of Russia, signing the treaty.
 E.. R. Perkins of the State De- partment historical division, has been using the desk for some Is years. "It looks like oak and the reddish covering on the top is worn through in some spots," he said.
 Perkins said an assortment of keys was found in one of the drawers, each with tag refer ring to treaty or set of papers.
 Gruening was told that in 1860 there were actually only two high officials of the State Department who would have qualified to use a desk of this kind, Seward and his m, whS was the Assistant Sec rstary.
 Historians at the department said the German artist who tainted the signing was friend cf Stewards and undoubtedly had rccess to the actual place where phe treaty was signed. This was ta downtown building tempor-

 Sundborg said he was told a search through purchase orders of the State Department for many years prior to Stewards regime disclosed a record of such a desk during the time when John A. Adams was Secretary of State. The desk then bought cost $110, Sundborg said.

Reduction In Auto Insurance Rates Granted In Alaska

SAN FRANCISCO - Many Alaska motorists will receive re- auctions in their automobile in- surance premiums for 1860 under rate revisions announced Weo- nesday by two national rating or ganizations.
 The changes were issued by the National Bureau of Casualty un- derwriters for automobile hapln- ty insurance and by the Nationaf Automobile Underwriters Asso- citation for material damage cov- craze on behalf of their member and subscriber companies. They are based on review of the mum Der and cost of auto accidents in- volving Alaska motorists.
 Effective date of the changes is January 6.
 Liability Rate Changes
 Private passenger car liability rate revisions vary according to car classification and territory" said the NBCU.
 Improved driving records in two of the three rate territories in Alaska have made possible reduction in automobile liability insurance rates for motorists liv- ing in those areas"
 For motorists living in the Fairbanks territory liability pre- miums for the minimum limits of Alaska's financial responsibil- ity laws are reduced $8.20 to $16.2O, depending on the car class ification. For the Anchorage ter ritory, premiums for the same coverage are increased $5.60 to $8. In the remainder of the state, premiums for this !coverage are reduced $40 to $8.20. These changes result in 3.9 per cent reduction in the statewide av- craze rate.
 The minimum limits as set forth in the financial responsi- bility law are $2O,OOO for all bodily injuries resulting from one accident subject to a limit of $l0,000 for any one person, and $5,000 for claims for damage done to property of others (often re- ferred to as "10-20 and SD. Material Damage Rate Revisions
