Alaskans Phone and Wire
Congressmen In Support
Of Statehood Measure
More and more Alaskans are
supporting statehood than ever
before in the areas which have
been lukewarm toward the move
ment heretofore.
In Anchorage, this week, many
citizens have united to keep the
long-distance telephone lines busy
with calls to Congressmen to urge
their support of the measure.
It is reported that Nomeites
favoring the bill are following up
this action with telegrams to
Washington to show that North
western Alaska also wants state
hood.
