iFire Fighters Rescued
I After Being Surrounded
By Flames in Creek Bed
FAIRBANKS, iffl—Ten fire fight
ers were rescued Wednesday after
spending three days in a creek
bed north of the Yukon River
with 4,000 acres of brush and
timber blazing around them.
The crew from the Alaska For
estry Division was flown from
Circle City to the fire scene 10
miles north of the Yukon Satur
day night. One hundred mile an
hour winds fanned the flames into
an inferno Monday, forcing the
men to abandon their gear and
equipment and take refuge in the
deep creek gulley.
Poor visibility in the smoke
shrouded area held back efforts
to rescue them until Wednesday
afternoon when they were brought
out safely.
A second fire covering another
4,000-acre area still is out of con
trol south of the small Yukon
village of Venetie, 150 miles due
north of Fairbanks. No effort is
being made to fight the blaze be
cause of its size and remoteness.
Both fires started from lightning
strikes.

McKay, in Fairbanks, Says Alaska 1
Would Have Statehood Now If Times
And Circumstances Were Different
FAIRBANKS, UP)—Alaska would*
have statehood now “if circum
stances were different and times
were different,” Secretary of the
Interior McKay said here Wed
nesday night.
The former Oregon governor,
continuing his tour of Alaska,
spoke at a dinner arranged by the
Chamber of. Commerce at the
Fairbanks Golf and Country Club.
The address, given before more
than 250 persons, reviewed what
McKay said were the accomplish
ments of the Eisenhower Admin
istration in Alaskan affairs.
“I know the question of state
hood is one in which you are all
deeply interested,” he declared.
“There is no doubt in Washington
that it has stirred the territory.
We are fully aware of the desire
of a great many Alaskans for
statehood:”
McKay recalled he had sup
ported statehood for Alaska on
“four separate occasions” while
attending the National Governors’
Conference as governor of Oregon.
“However,” he said, “the clock
has gone around a good many
times since then. World conditions
have changed and are changing
constantly.”
McKay said President Eisen
hower as recently as last Wednes
day spoke at his press conference
on the military importance of Al
aska.
“I thought his remarks were
plain. There may be some who
could quarrel with President Eis
enhower on military questions. I
do not happen to be one of them.
“There are many in and out of
the department,” he went on,
“who are entirely sympathetic to
your desires in this regard. They
have sought to aid you in every
possible way within the policies
set by the administration for the
greatest good of all. But these are
troublesome times. In his dis
charge of his responsibilities to
the nation the President must look
to Europe, to Asia, to Indochina,
to Korea, and to any other trouble
spot that may develop.”
Turning to local issues, the sec
retary said “all responsible gov
ernment agencies” are studying a
proposal to open the Gubik gas
area adjoining the Navy’s petrol
eum reserve north of the Brooks
range.
“These things take time,” he
said, "... but I can assure you
the approach is positive. When the
papers reach my desk they will
be signed promptly.”
McKay also said he had talked
by telephone with the Interior
Department in Washington and
could report “there will not be
any reduction of Alaska Native
Service hospital beds.” Earlier, he
said, there were reports that funds
allocated to the service from the
current appropriations bill might
force closing a portion of hospital
facilities needed for tuberculosis
patients.
The cabinet member praised the
administration’s accomplishments
in its “partnership approach” for
financing Alaska public works.
Discussing the public land issue
he commented:
“When this administration took
office, less than 2 percent of Alas
ka’s land was privately owned.
“This shocking situation of
course prevented the type of ex
pansion which built our first 48
states. I see no reason why Alaska
should not be permitted to devel
op as these states did.
“At the suggestion of Governor
Heintzleman,” McKay continued,
“I issued a directive in May, 1953,
for the review of all withdrawals
of lands not required for govern
ment use. As a result, the opening
to entry of lands not further re
quired for government purposes
has been greatly speeded.”
Defenses expenditures are un
doubtedly of great importance to
the present Alaska economy, he
said, but he does not believe their
termination or sharp curtailment
would be disastrous to the terri
tory.
“I think this attitude is unduly
pessimistic,” the secretary ex
plained. “Alaska will be a major
defense area for an indefinite
period.”
