GOVERNMENT SLOW-Alaska has contin

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

ard Oil Co. of California.

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

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.

such as fishing, mining and
construction, are highly sea

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.

Those having legal problems
arc urged to consult with an

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.
