But It took a few years to get the bugs out of the new state government machinery, and' statehood's full flowering is not expected for several years. (UPI) r - ', . Alaska Enjoys Steady Growth Following Admission to Union By GORDON W. SCHULTZ United Press International Anchorage, Alaska - flJPD - The 49lh star in the United States' flag stands for th lan gest, emptiest and - its resi dents believe - the most promising state In the union. Since its admission to the union in 1958, Alaska ' has grown with the ferocity of a polar bear and the determin ation of the moose that popu late vast stretches of the 586,-400-square mile state. Statehood's full flowering, economically speaking, is noi expected for several more years. But in its first four years as a full-fledged state, Alaska's gross .business vol ume has increased 65 per cent. It has been a steady gain, not the financial boom many Alaskans thought would come with statehood. In a state one-fifth the size of the continental . United Slates the population is still less than half that of the city of Seattle, Wash. But individ ualism is the key to the slate's progress since statehood. It also explains why Alaskans bristle at outsiders' criticism of the slate's hardships. , i Expansion Sought There are still a few per sons who would return to ter ritorial status, given a choice, But for the vast majority, the cry is one of impatience for growth and expansion. Four years as a young state have been progressive and the outlook is for continued growth. The state's first gov ernor. Democrat William A. Egnn, was returned to a sec ond term in office in the last general election. So was the original Democratic congres sional delegation made up of Sens. Ernest Grucning, a for mer territorial governor; E. L. Bartlett; and Rep. Ralph J. Rivers. Since its conception, the state government has labor ed to correct what it consid ered the Injustices of a loose and unconcerned federal ad ministration. With the end o federal ler ritorial administration, Alas ka had only a skeleton from which to establish a slate gov ernment. A whole new level of government was created and, like all new machinery. it took a while to get the buss out. But for the most pan, incy re now gone, Gas Industry Oil and gas development Is rapidly becoming one of the strongest areas of the Alas kan economy. This year, the slate's first oil refinery Is due :or completion by the Stand ard Oil Co. of California. But gold mines, once the ooon oi inc territorial days, are no lonser tlie hiohiv tirrf. itable operations that made millionaires overnight. Be cause of its fixed price, gold nas iosi lis glitter. Regardless minerals arc nbunrinnt in Al. a.'ka and will be developed In time. GoV. Kami, a nuliVf.hfir Alaskan, ls quick lo point out that the future bodes well for ins Dig, roomy slate. Alaska represents the last frontier of the original Amc-r lean determination to carve a country, a town, a home and a Job out of a gigantic wuncrncss. It Is being done, and statehood accelerated the progress," according to Egan. Still, many non-Alaskuns fall to realize the problems caused by the stale's scper atlon from the other contigu ous stales. Alaska's largest city. Anchorage, is a three hour let' fliuht frmn s, .iil- lt'S four days over land and a week by boat between the two cities. A telephone call from An chorage to Seattle costs $6.75 for the first three minutes. Distance and transportation costs also affect other prices, . A quart of milk in Anchor- age costs 43 cents, a loaf of bread between 39 and 45 cents. Regular gasoline sells for 56 cents a gallon. Prices are higher in some more re mote areas but lower in some closer to the sources of supply. Wages are higher, accord ingly, and servicemen receive hazardous duty pay for their assignment to Alaska. , The federal government Is still the largest-employer In the state, primiraly because of the military personnel as signed to maintain the north ern rim of the nation's de fenses. Seasonal Wots A number of rjccunalinnc such as fishing, mining and construction, are highly sea sonable. But technological ad vances have helped stabilize some industries that were once tightly limited by cold, winter weather. Improve ments In construction techni ques and equipment, for ex ample, allow more mintr-nn. tion to proceed on an annual oasis, particularly In populat ed areas; Still, winter weather and related factors h overall state unemployment jor one week in January thin year to 16 per cent. The 1060 eensiii nhnuri '75 per cent increase in popu lation in 10 years, second only to Nevada with 78 per cent and nearly Ihrpr Hmn- the growth of her young sis- icr siaic, Hawaii. The DCODle whn Alaska are a strange breed of restless, energetic, deter mined and bold individuals not afraid of pioneering. They are proud of their new state, its statehood and the promise of accomplishment the Alas ka wilderness holds for all comers. Neecftaid Urgent For Lumber Quota Washington-Wro-Rep. Walt Horan (R-Wash.) said Wednes day It is "more urgent than ever" for President Kennedy to declare a quota slashing Ca nadian softwood lumber sales in the United States by 60 per cent. Horan inserted in the Con gressional Record a U.S. Com merce Department report pre dicting that U.S. softwood prices might decline because of last October's West Coast storm.- The report said the blown-down timber had to be salvaged and that this prob ably would result in an over- supply of lumber. inis tact maK.es il more urgent than ever . that the President take immediate ac tion to impose an Immediate quota, Horan said. Measures have been intro duced In both the house and the senate calling on Kennedy to limit softwood lumber im ports to 6 per cent of U.S. consumption, ' YOUNG GOP TO MEET Salem-lUPIl-The Young He- publican College League will hold its annual convention April 19-20 at the Park Havi land Hotel, Portland, Chair man Clifford Cook has announced. s ' v CHILD ABANDONED Ambuliincc attendant Tom O Donnell holds a boy born In the restroom of a La Mirada.

(UPI) : IT'S YOUR LAW Ktspeet Jor Law Mala Ormocraey Livt Editor's notai Th follow ing article is prepared as a public service by lh Oregon Stat Bar. It is not intended to b legal advica sine ihe facts may alter similar cases. Those having legal problems arc urged to consult with an attorney. DEFENDING THE GUILTY From the time a young man enters law school until the time years later when he re tires from practice one of the most frequent questions he will be asked is "How can you defend a guilty man?" The answer lies In the Con stitution of the United States and in the oath which an at torney takes on being admit ted to the bar. In the first place, a person ls presumed to be innocent until he Is proven guilty. Now ask yourself: How can the average person who knows little of the law and court procedure defend him self against an accusation and bear out this presumption? The answer is that he can't. For this reason the Constitu tion gives every ','erson ac cused of a crime a right to counsel trained in the law. The courts have taken this to mean that not only may he hire counsel, but that if he is too poor to hire counsel, the court can give the duty of de fending that person to some attorney. But whether counsel is hired or appointed his job is to see to it that the man he is defending has the advan tage of every right given him by law and that he is not con victed until the case against him has been tested by vigor ous cross examination and re butted by all the evidence available favorable to the de fendant. In neither case should the attorney be identified with the person or cause he is defending. ' Don't be misled by movies or television scripts into thinking that defense attor neys do or should use trickery and trumped up evidence to free a guilty defendant. , In his oath as an attorney, the defense counsel has prom ised that he will "employ . . . such means only as are con sistent with truth and honor, and will never seek to mis lead the judge or jury ..." In other words, a defend ant is entitled to a vfgorous, but strictly honest, defense and no more. And the attor ney is duty bound to render that defense.
