Now Is The Time To Stand Up And Be Counted
The possibility of Statehood has been achieved
and it is now up to Alaskans who have worked in this
a~ea since 1912 for this status to cast their votes in
the coming election and decide if “Alaska shall im
mediately be admitted into the Union as a state.”
Some of our Eskimo people are disturbed by in
formation being given to them that the natives of
Northwestern Alaska will suffer should Statehood be
accomplished and are wondering if they should vote
for statehood.
We don’t know how they will be handicapped,
but if there is such a possibility or belief we chal
lenge anyone who has such facts to present them to
the Nugget for publication so that all may share in the
information. Now is the time to air any misunder
standing, and clear up any doubts.
Ike Agrees On
U.N. Summit
Conference Meet
WASHINGTON, The White
House indicated Thursday that
President Eisenhower agrees ful
ly with JBritish Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan’s call for a
United Nations summit conference
next month.
Presidential press secretary
James C. Hagerty said the U.S.
position had been clearly set
forth in Eisenhower’s letters to
Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
In those notes, the President
has insisted that any summit con
ference on the Middle East be
held within the U.N. framework.
In the view of U.S. officials,
Russia is trying to keep tensions
over the Middle East at a high
pitch, probably to maintain pres
sure for a summit meeting.

House Committee
Completes Hawaii
Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, lA — The
House Interior Committee Thurs
day completed its shaping up of
the Hawaii statehood bill but
postponed a final vote until next
Wednesday.
Chairman Clair Engle (D-Calif)
told ijewsmen he is confident
the committee will approve the
bill. As to further congressional
action, he said he had no pre
diction.
“Even if the Hawaii bill does
not go through this year,” Engle
said, “the action we are taking
will be one of benefit to Hawaii
statehood next year.
Engle said he had “no doubt
at all that Hawaii will be ad
mitted as the 50th state early in
the next session of Congress.”
Amendments adopted by the
committee were largely technical,
he said, and “conform pretty
much to what was found necessary
in the case of the Alaska state
hood bill.”

“Alaska Airlines is the pioneer
far north airline, and ‘Golden
Nugget’ service is a pioneering
concept in airline operation.

MacMillan Calls For Special Session
Of Security Council On August 12
LONDON, UP) — Prime Minister
MacMillan announced Thursday
he is calling for a special meet
ing of the United Nations Secur
ity Council to take place Aug. 12
and that he personally will attend
it.
MacMillan told the House of
Commons he has advised Nikita
Khrushchev “New York, Geneva
or any other place generally
agreeable will do” as the site
for the special conference on the
Middle East crisis. He told the
Soviet Premier:
“I hope you will be there too.”
The British leader told Khrush
chev the conference he had in
mind certainly would allow “less
formal meetings of heads of gov
ernment” to be arranged, in ad
dition to the sessions of the whole
11-nation council.
This offer idicated he was
meeting Khrushchev’s expressed
desire for informal, face-to-face
meetings of the government
chiefs of the big powers along
the sidelines of the Security Coun
cil conference.
MacMillan said in this ^re
[ spect:
“The procedure would thus be
flexible and should promote. the
chances of making progress.”
MacMillan dismissed, almost
contemptuously, Khrushchev’s
charges in his letter last Mon
day that the British and the
Americans were trying to maneu
ver out of the projected confer
ence.
The Soviet leader also repeated
accusations that the Americans
and British were guilty of ag
gression in the Middle East and
planning new ventures. MacMil
lan declared:
“I will not reply to its (the
letter’s) many accusations against
allied policy in the Middle East.”
“None of these has any foun
dation in fact.”
