“Good Luck' Valentine
Presented To Hawaii
Delegate By Gruening
WASHINGTON, UP) — Senator
Ernest W. Gruening of Alaska pre
sented a “good luck” valentine
Friday to Hawaii’s voteless dele
gate to Congress, John A. Burns.
It was a photograph of the
Alaska Governor’s house in Ju
neau from which the Alaskan flag
and a 50-star United States flag
were flying.
The photograph was made in the
winter of 1948 when Gruening
was Governor of Alaska.
Gruening said it demonstrated
the long-time wish of Alaska’s ci
tizens for statehood for both Alas
ka and Hawaii.
The Alaska senator told Ha
waii’s delegate he hopes Hawaii
achieves statehood by July 4 so
that the new 49-star flag, due to
become official that day, will
never be flown officially.
