Stepovicli May Seek Seat In Senate
Rather Than Run For Governor
SARATOGA, Calif., UP! — Alas
ka’s youthful territorial Gov. Mike
Stepovich said Saturday he is
undecided whether to try to be
come Alaska’s first elected gov
ernor or seek one of its two
seats in the Senate.
“Of course I can always go
back to private law ' practice,”
Stepovich said here at the home
of his stepmother, Mrs. Vuka
Stepovich. His wife and eight
children stayed here while he was
in Washington during the hectic
events leading to the Senate
vote Monday which passed the
statehood measure and sent it
to the President
Stopping off in Milwaukee
Friday en route West, the gov
ernor said he is quite sure the
Republicans will win one of the
two U.S. Senate seats when the
new state holds its first election,
next fall. But he adds—
“And maybe both of them.”
The 39-year-old Eisenhower
appointee who visited Milwaukee
Friday also was confident that
the congressional representative
Alaska will name will he a Re
publican too. Stepovich said the
reason for this probable switch
from the Democratic column is
that the long-sought statehood
finally was achieved under a
GOP administration despite op

' The Anesthesiologist: An Important Role
The use of anesthetic agents to make a person unconscious to pain
during surgery is a comparatively new science. People of ancient
times knew of the pain-relieving properties of certain herbs, chem
icals and wine, but not until ether was used for a tooth extraction
did medical science begin to realize the possibilities of total anes
inesia. jauief, wiuie il nas buiuc '
disadvantages, for many years
was the best anesthetic agent,
and is still widely used.
Today, however, the anesthe
siologist has many agents at his
disposal, including a large vari
ety which are administered intra
venously, as well as those given
by breathing. While better and
safer agents were being devel
oped over the years, the tech
niques of administration were
progressing to the point that to
day the anesthesiologist is a
highly trained — and important
— member of the operating team.
A large portion of today’s anes
thesia specialists are jnedical
doctors.
Since most of the anesthesiol
ogist’s work is carried on while
the patient is unconscious, few
people know what he does for
them and how important his role
is. Let’s suppose you enter the
hospital for an elective operation.
Your doctor discusses details of
your operation with the anesthe
siologist. They discuss your gen
eral health, age and any experi
ence with anesthesia. Chances
are the anesthesiologist will visit
with you in your room.
Before you go to the operating
room you are given premedica
tion, prescribed by the anesthe
siologist, to relax you. Before
you are “put to sleep” he again
checks your mental state, blood
pressure, pulse and other impor
tant details. Then he adminsters
the anesthetic drug he and your
surgeon have agreed upon.
During the operation, he is
guardian of your whole being
beyond the region in which the
surgeon is operating. Me keeps
continuous watch over your
heart action and your breathing,
and he might administer blood,
plasma or dextrnse; or even
change the anesthetic drug dur
ing the operation.
Following the operation this
specialist will keep a close check
on your general condition and
prescribe whatever measures are
necessary to speed your recovery
from the anesthesia. While it
may not be obvious, the presence
and skill of the anesthesiologist
are felt throughout your stay in
the hospital.

As for his plans, Stepovich
said he is undecided. He might
run for governor under the new
state constitution, he might be a
candidate for one of the Senate
seats or he might go back into
the practice of law.
“I can take my time now, he
said, “to decide what I think is
best for Alaska and my family.”
Mexico Elects New
President In Quietest
Electipn In Its History
MEXICO CITY, UR — Hand
some, 48-year-old Adolfo Lopez
Mateos, the brilliant labor mini
ster in the last government, was
elected president of Mexico yes
terday in probably the quietest
vote in the nation’s history.
The dominant government Par
ty of Revolutionary Institution
claimed Lopez Mateos had won by
a landslide—somewhere between
70-85 per cent of the votes. No
big totals were announced, how
ever.
Lopez Mateos’ victory over
textile manufacturer Luis Hec
tor Alvarez had never been in
doubt. The PRI and its prede
cessors have never lost an election
since the parent party was
launched in 1928.
Mexico also elected a full new
Congress of 60 senators and 162
deputies. The PRI claimed that
it had retained control by an
overwhelming majority.

Dulles & de Gaulle
Confer About
A-Bomb Secrets
PARIS, W — Secretary of
States Dulles and Premier de
Gaulle completed their formal
conferences Saturday with a half
hour private conversation at the
Premier’s official residence.
De Gaulle walked with Dulles
to the automobile waiting to
take the secretary back to the
U. S. embassy. The premier
holding his heavy, horned rimmed
spectacles in his hand, gestured
emphatically. Dalles looked ex
tremely serious.
A French spokesman said that
France had the ‘vocation’ to be
come an atomic power and that
she was determined to do so. He
left’ no doubt of the determina
tion of his government to bring
France into the ranks of the
atomic powers to which it be
longs by rights.”
He said Dulles replied that the
United States, under the terms
of the McMahon Act, cannot fur
nish France with secret technical
information.
“The general stressed that this
is the basic question of the day
for France,” the spokesman con
tinued. “The subject of nuclear
weapons will be continued through
normal diplomatic channels.”
The spokesman added that the
general reported the talks wejre
held in an atmosphe're of tne
greatest cordiality, and showed
“mutual confidence and frank
ness” and that he felt Dulles had
given him a “very remarkable
and deep exposition of the world
situation on and the great prob
lems of the hour.”
