Alaska’s Unofficial Delegation Has
Visit With Eisenhower, Finds He’s
‘Wholeheartedly Behind Statehood’
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UPi—Alaska’s
unofficial congressional delega
tion had a 20-minute visit with
President Eisenhower at the
White House yesterday.
“Sen.” William Egan of Valdez
told newsmen later there is “no
question but what the President
is wholeheartedly behind Alaska
statehood.”
“Sen.” Ernest Gruening said
the President told them he was
“anxious to get statehood through
(Congress) and hoped it would
pass this time.”
The two “senators” were ac
companied by “Rep.” Ralph Riv
ers of Fairbanks and the terri
tory’s voteless delegate E. L. (Bob)
Bartlett. Egan, Gruening and Riv
ers were elected by Alaskans last
October in a move to dramatize
the territory’s bid for statehood.
Approves of Separate Bills
Gruening said the President at
one point inquired as to the status
of bills for statehood for both
Alaska and Hawaii and asked
whether they are being consid
ered by Congress as separate bills
or as a joint proposal. When told
committees are considering the
bills separately, Gruening said
Eisenhower commented: “That is
as it should be.” ,

The Alaskans said Eisenhower
recalled his visits to Nome and
Barrow as well as having played
bridge with Gruening, a former
Alaska governor, while at Fort
Richardson in 1947.
Nine Gifts Presented
In addition to paying their re
spects to the Chief Executive, the
Alaskans presented him with nine
gifts by various Alaskan organi
zations and individuals. Included
was an ivory seal holding a golf
ball on its nose and set on an
ivory pedestal which came from
Point Barrow.
As to one gift—a wallet and
key case made of salmon skin
given by the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce—Bartlett reported the
President commented: “Good; I
just needed a new wallet.”
Other gifts included some arctic
cologne for Mrs. Eisenhower, var
ious salmon delicacies and Alas
kan berries, an ivory Eskimo bear
and fox on an ivory pedestal, a
black totem pole, an Alaskan Af
ghan and two paintings.

! Penitentiary Lovers Fail in Attempt
To Have Child Born Out of Prison
SAN FRANCISCO, Martha
Stachura and Hernando C. Cotton,
who became lovers in the Kansas
State Penitentiary, have appar
ently failed in an attempt to have
their child born outside prison
walls.
Cotton, 49, and Mrs. Stachura,
27, were recaptured here and face
arraignment today on charges of
robbery, auto theft and kidnaping.
They told police Monday how
they arranged meetings in a pris
on farm utility tunnel and made
their escape “for the baby’s sake”
when the woman found she was
pregnant. The child is expected in
September.
A prisoner at the Lansing, Kan.,
institution since 1939, Cotton
worked as a trusty in the prison
utility shop. He met Mrs. Stachura
when he did some repair work at
the minimum custody, unwalled
prison farm across a road.
Mrs. Stachura was serving
time because she and her husband
sold a mortgaged car. Cotton was
convicted of Larceny and killing a
fellow prisoner.
They escaped Dec. 29 to a hide
out Cotton had prepared in the
prison machine shop, then walked
away from the prison Jan. 2.
They said they made their way
across country, unsuccessfully
irying to find work.
Arriving in San Francisco last
week, they bought toy guns and
painted them black, and Sunday
night held up a man. They got $2
and his car.
The car stalled and a policeman
who offered to push recognized it
as stolen.
“We had to escape for the
baby’s sake,” Mrs. Stachura said.
The four “wonderful months” of
freedom with Cotton were a “life
time of happiness,” she added.
The woman’s husband remains
in the Kansas Prison.
