ORPHAN OF THE STORM
CONSTITUTION DAY
IN CONSEQUENCE OF AN HISTORIC EVENT of
great significance, of which tomorrow is the 173rd
anniversary, Americans are the envied people of the
world as they live under a law structure which is
without suppression or oppression.
It is the oldest and most revered Constitution in
the world. We, the people of Alaska, who have un
friendly neighbors close by to the west, are especially
aware of this heritage of freedom.
The American people have had a beneficial and
fruitful national life under the system which the
Constitution embodies, as is attested by the fact that
it has survived for 173 years.
The present generation, more heavily burdened
with taxes than those before, sometimes fails to see
and understand the benefits of being Americans and
see only the minor deficiences in the government,
which is partly due to the apathy with which they
participate in the political life of their country.
Our governor, William A. Egan, urges all resi
dents of the State of Alaska to properly display the
flag of the United States and the flag of the State of
Alaska during Constitution Week, which starts to
morrow. Tomorrow, Saturday, September 17, is also
particularly significance in that it is also designated
as Citizenship Day.

K Expected to
Demand Removal
Of U.N. From U.S.
LONDON, uT* — Authoritative
British diplomats said yesterday
they expect Nikita Khrushchev to
demand removal of United Na
tions headquarters from Ameri
can territory unless Washington
relaxes its curbs on Red leaders.
These British sources said they
also have been given to under
stand the Soviet Premier almost
certainly will call for dismissal
of Dag Hammarskjold. Khrush
chev is expected to contend the
Secretary - General exceeded his
authority in the Congo crisis.
Khrushchev is believed ready
to make these points when he ad
dresses the General Assembly
next week.
The Soviet Union’s stance on
both issues has been shaping up
unmistakably in the past few days
in preparation for Khrushchev’s
appearance before the Assembly
Sept. 25.
The U. S. government has ex
plained that security factors lie
behind the order confining Pre
mier Khrushchev to Manhattan
Island. But Khrushchev and his
spokesmen have termed Washing
ton’s curbs unfriendly, illegal,
and unnecessary.
Statistics Compiled
On 86th Congress
WASHINGTON, W — A Neb
raska Republican has compiled
his own scorebook on statistics of
the 86th Congress.
Here’s what Rep. Glenn Cun
ningham found in checking thru
records of the Congress, which
opened in January 1959 and
wound up its business Sept. 1.
There were 20,164 bills and
resolutions introduced by mem
bers of the House and Senate, of
which 1,130 became law.
The House was in session 1,039
hours and 8 minutes, for an aver
age of 3 hours and 55 minutes.
One was only three minutes.
The Senate, with no limit on
debate such as exists in the House
met for 2,198 hours and 37 min
utes.
It took 35,958 pages of the Con
gressional Record to print all
material during the two-year per
iod.
He didn’t figure this, but since
it costs an estimated $81 per page
to print this daily account of
congressional activities, the bill
for this alone would amount to
$2,912,598.
