Governor Must
Call Election on
Several Issues
Washington (UPI The
formal admission of Alaska as
the 49th state of the Union is
not expected until Dirgember.
Congressional approval of
itatehood for the territory did
not automatically make it a
state. A number of other im
portant steps must be taken.
President Eisenhower must
first sign the congressional
act into law. It is certain that
he will do so.
Then he must notify Alas
ka's governor, Mike Stepo
vich, of his action. g
Election of Officeri .
Stepovich will makehe is
sue, no later than Aug. 1, a
proclamation calling for an
election of a new group 3
state officers and of the state's
first two U.S. senators and its
single House member.
The election will be held
under terms of a "statehood"
constitution which Alaskans
ratified April 24, 1956. Q

Texas will have to move
over.
It's only half as big as Alas
ka. The 586,400 squarg miles
of spectacular scenery that
make up AlasBa represent
territory one-fifth the size df
continental United Sjtes.
Americans didn't always re
gard AlaSa as highly as they
do now. When Secretary of
State William H. Seward paid
Russia $7,200,000 for Alaska
92 years ago, people called it
"Seward's folly." ut $7,200,
000 wouldn't have paid for
the sos! coal that was rrdnejj
in Alaska lag year.

They are virtually certain to
accept it, but some opposition
does exist in the territory. j
Vote on Boundaries
The referendum n this
question is- expected to ohe
held either during Alaska's
primary in early fall or its
general election. The general
election must be held by
Dec. 1. o
In the referendum, Alas
kans will not vote merely on
the statehood issue itself.
They must also accept the
boundaries set up in the c5h
gressional act and recognize
the reservations of certain
powers being retained by the
federal governmght, includH
ing authority to withdraw
large sections of the land jf or
federal military purposes.
Rejection of these or other
points would kill statehood?
Following theoele&ion and
referendum, the governor
certifies the results to gie
President.
Only then can Eisenhower
issue his official proclamation
making Alaska the 49th state.

Tornadic winds ripped the

At least one torrtado swirl

hail storms, touching down
in a wooded area near Spirit

The storms were blamed on
a mass of cool air which over
ran a heat wave that saw
temperatures climb into the

Redwoon, Minn.
Authorities at Rhinelander,
