Senator Beltz
Dies Monday
In Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, UP) — William E.
Beltz, president of the Alaska
State Senate, died at the Anchor
age Native Service Hospital Mon
dy night.
Death apparently was due to a
malignant brain tumor which was
discovered during an operation
last May 6.
Beltz, 47, was a Democrat, rep
resenting Senate District N in the
upper chamber. He made his
home in Unalakleet.
The Eskimo lawmaker collap
sed on the floor of the Senate
last March 19. Doctors attributed
it then to overwork and exhaus
tion.
After the legislative session he
entered Anchorage’s Providence
Hospital for observation, then
was moved to the ANS Hospital.
The tumor was discovered on
May 6 and on last Sept. 15 Beltz’s
doctors said the growth was mal
ignant and described Beltz, one
of the most respected members of
the legislature, as “incurable.”
His left side became paralyzed
and he grew weaker and weaker.
Beltz’s Senate term was sched
uled to end in January, 1963.
Beltz, born in Haycock, leaves
among other survivors, a wife and
four children. His last child, a
boy, was born last April 18.
“The people of Alaska have lost
a dedicated servant,” Gov. Wil
liam A. Egan said.
Egan, who will be charged with
naming Beltz’s successor, said
Beltz had contributed “much to
the’progress of Alaska during his
many years in the legislature and
in other civic activities.”
The governor said he would
name a replacement “as quickly
as possible because of the close
ness of the 1961 legislative ses
sion.”
The first session of the second
state legislature is due to start
next Jan. 23.
“I regret very much that he
will not be here in January and
I believe all members of the leg
islature and Alaskan everywhere
will share my sense of loss. I am
sorry his leadership will not be
available to the legislature and to
the administration.”
Secretary of State Hugh J.
Wade said:
“Like all Alaskans, I am deep
ly grieved at the passing of Sen
ator Bill Beltz.
“I considered him a close per
sonal friend and I will be forever
grateful for the assistance he gave
me when 1 was acting governor
during the first session of the
state legislature, when Governor
Egan was ill.
“Alaska and its native people
have lost an outstanding states
man.”
Louise Kidwell and Joseph
Maloney, both of Nome, have ap
plied for a marriage license.
Mr. and Mrs. Silvano Vivieros
are the parents of a daughter
born on Nov. 18 at the hospital.
