13-Time Loser To Try
Again for Election to
House of Representatives
SEATTLE, W—'“Win or lose,
I’m going to Congress,” Payson
Peterson said Wednesday in an
nouncing that next year for the
14th time he will try to win the
2nd District congressional seat.
The Snohomish automobile sales
man, defeated 13 times in his bid
for office, said if the voters turn J
him down again he will go to
Washington anyway ‘‘and sit in
the House gallery as my district’s
unofficial congressman.”
Peterson said he will run as a
Democrat. That was his party on
two previous attempts. Eleven
times, starting in 1930, he filed on
the Republican ticket.
Cows, Not Rabbits,
Are Multiplying on
MS Square Sinnet
SEATTLE, (A*)—Cows, not rab
bits, are multiplying on the MS
Square Sinnet bound for Seward
from Seattle, the Alaska Steam
ship Co. reported Wednesday.
Eight cows were delivered Fri
day from Renton, Wash., for ship
ment to the Seward dairy. One
calf was born Saturday afternoon
on Pier 42 on the Seattle dock.
Tuesday the steamship company
received a wire from Ketchikan,
Alaska, that another calf was
born on the ship. Another wire
from Juneau Wednesday told of
a third blessed event.
The company refused to predict
the number of cows expected
when the ship docks in Seward.
Russia Ahead in
Rate of Military
Air Progress
PHILADELPHIA, WV-Gen. Na
than F. Twining said yesterday
“the Soviets are ahead of us” in
their rate of progress at develop
ing advanced military aircraft.
“This is not to say that Soviet
air power now surpasses our
own,” said Twining, Air Force
chief of staff. “It does not.”
But Twining said the Russian
challenge must be met “with
startling progress of our own.”
The Air Force chief expressed
these views in an article prepared
for distribution at the National
Aircraft show here Sept. 3-5.
“If we should be forced into
another war, our unquestioned
ability to out-produce any nation
will be of small value,” Twining
said.
“The decision in that war would
depend on the quality of the
weapons that we would have
when the war began.”
Twining said the Soviet Union
in the past several months has
shown the world “that it too has
acquired the ability to produce
high quality airplanes in very
large numbers.”

11th Meeting of U.S. and
Red China Is Failure
GENEVA, (4*)—The United States
and Communist China failed once
again yesterday to agree on a
formula for freeing 41 Americans
detained on the Chinese mainland.
U. Alexis Johnson, U.S. am
bassador to Prague, and Wang
Ping-nan, Red China’s envoy in
Warsaw, met for two hours and
five minutes in the Palace of Na
tions. They emerged to announce
only that another meeting would
be held Saturday.
Tuesday’s meeting was the 11th
devoted to the first item on the
ambassadors’ agenda—the return
of civilians of both sides to their
respective countries. The talks
are proceeding in the strictest se
crecy and both envoys declined to
discuss the difficulties they have
encountered.
The United States today re
quested a four-day postponement
of Saturday’s scheduled meeting
with Red China. There was grow
ing speculation that the issue was
near settlement.

15 Communities in
Alaska Need New
Federal Buildings
WASHINGTON, UP>—New fed
eral buildings, principally post
offices, are needed in 15 Alaska
communities, according to a re
port submitted to Congress by the
General Services Administration
and Post Office Department.
The territory’s needs were list
ed in a report which the agencies
are required to submit every two
years. It is purely advisory and
does not mean the buildings ever
will be built. At best it is the first
step toward possible approval and
appropriations for construction.
The newly submitted list in
cludes post office buildings at Ho
mer, College, Kenai, Mount Edge
cumbe and Skagway which were
not included in the report sent to
Congress two years ago. The pro
posed cost limit for the College
project is $400,000, as compared
with $350,000 for each of the oth
er four.
Previously listed and included
in the new enumeration were:
Alaska Highway, border station,
$540,000; Anchorage, post office
and federal building, $9,995,000;
Fairbanks, post office and court
house, $1,100,000; Juneau, federal
and territorial building, $2,090,
000; Ketchikan, post office, court
house, customhouse, jail, $780,
000; Kodiak, post office and fed
eral office building, $1,010,000;
Palmer, post office, $980,000;
Seward, post office and court
house, $1,510,000; Valdez, post
office and courthouse, $790,000;
Whittier, post office, $290,000.

Hawaii Statehood
May Come Thru
Alaska Supporters
HONOLULU, (#1—Hawaii state
hood supporters are banking
heavily on a new Hawaii state
hood campaign organized by, of
all people, the Alaskans.
Hawaii’s delegate to congress,
Republican Elizabeth P. Farring
ton, told Hawaii’s Statehood Com
mission Wednesday this latest
move from Juneau might be the
push needed to achieve long
sought statehood for this tropic
territory.
A joint Hawaii-Alaska state
hood bill was killed in the House
of Representatives of the 84th
Congress.
For the most part, Democratic
leadership in the last Congress
favored statehood for both terri
tories or not at all, she said. Many
Republicans favor Hawaii but not
I Alaska. Southern Democrats usu
ally oppose both. Mrs. Farrington
favors both.
She said many Alaska statehood
supporters believe the statehood
log jam might be broken if only a
Hawaii bill is introduced next
January when lawmakers return
to the capital.
Mrs. Farrington said a change
in Democratic strategy is needed
before Hawaii hopes can be real
ized. She said the key Democrat
in the Senate appears to be Sen.
Clinton Anderson. He has worked
hard in the past for the joint bill,
she said.
“If we can get him to approve
Alaska’s efforts to achieve Hawaii
statehood first,” she said, state
hood for the islands may be a
reality next year.
