Bartlett Asks That
Commemorative Stamp
Be Issued For Alaska
WASHINGTON, W — Delegate
E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) has
asked the Post Office Depart
ment to consider issuing a com
memorative stamp to mark
Alaska’s admission as a state.
“The overwhelming enthusiasm
already in evidence of the Amer
ican people for Alaskan statehood
deserves symbolic expression in
the form of a commemorative
stamp,” he said in a letter to
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield,
Bartlett suggested the stamp
could be issued to coincide either
with Alaska’s formal admission as
a state this winter, or in connec
tion with the change in the flag
design next July 4.

N.Y. Offers Help
To Safeguard
Alaska Investers
WASHINGTON, UD — Two leg
islators today pointed to a prob
lem that may grow out of the
publicity and enthusiasm result
ing from federal legislation mak
ing Alaska the 49th «tate—the
sale of fraudulent securities re
lating to Alaskan development.
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-NY)
wrote Delegate Bartlett that Louis
J. Lefkowitz, attorney general of
New York, had called his atten
tion to the possibility that un
scrupulous speculators might try
to sell Americans worthless se
curities.
Lefkowitz urged that safeguards
be taken now to protect the rep
utation of Alaska’s industry, so
that American industry can in
vest in Alaska’s development with
confidence and assurance of gov
ernmental safeguards.
i ■ Javits offered Bartlett the full
assistance of his office and that of
the New York attorney general in
assuring maximum protection
from the sale of fraudulent secur
ities.
“We welcome, and need, capital
investment in Alaska for the de
velopment of our many resources.
We do not welcome entry of pro
moters whose enterprises might
fleece the public,” Bartlett told
Javits.
[Supermarket Giving
Away Deeds For Square
Foot of Alaska Land
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Wl —With
Alaska on the threshold of state
hood, a supermarket here is
giving it away—piecemeal.
A Park’n Shop advertisement
! offers a bona fide deed to one
square foot of land just outside
Anchorage, Alaska, with every
purchase of $10 of more in
groceries.
“We bought 36,000 square feet
for $250 to give away on a lake
site in suburban Anchorage,”
said C. N. Reid, owner of the
supermarket, “and we’ve got a
big sign on it up there saying we
bought it*
“With everybody Alaska con
scious, and since we didn’t have
much Alaska merchandise, we
thought it was a good idea.
We’ve arranged to have an ig
loo built outside the store.
The igloo is one of the attrac
tions the store is advertising.
“Bring the kiddies to see the
Alaskan igloo, totem pole and
other Alaskan items,” said the
ad in big Gothic type. “All
authentic,” chimes in a line of
small type.
Reid said the deeds would be
given away as part of a salute to
the territory.
“I think people will be proud
to shdw their neighbors the deeds
and say, ‘I’m an Alaska property
owner’,” Reid said. ,
Attorney Genial
Invited To Help
i On Legal Problems
WASHINGTON, 1K* — Atty.
Gen. William P. Rogers may go
to Alaska next month to work on
I federal court arrangements and
j other legal problems in connection
I with the territory becoming the
49th state.
Rogers said he had an invita
tion from Alaska Gov. Mike Step
ovich to make the trip.
There are four federal district
courts, each with a staff of at
tornies and marshals now in the
territory. Under the statehood
bill Alaska is given a three-year
period to transfer certain legal
cases now in federal court juris
diction to a state court system
being created.
Rogers said only one federal
court would be needed in Alaska
when it becomes a state and the
other present federal court per
sonnel will have to be accomo
dated in some manner.
L “There also will be a lot of
j legal problems in connection with
the transition,” he said.
