Earn Merit Badges

Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Young, Mr.
Fennell, Mr. Freiz, Mrs. Emmons,
and Mrs. Alice Osborne. That
night the boys enjoyed water

family, and cantalope donated
by Walter Freiz.

many of the boys have ex
pressed the wish that their par
ents attend. It is at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday night the Cub Scouts
will attend camp and spend the
night, returning Sunday.

j Nixon Optimistic
About Chances For
Alaska Statehood
WASHINGTON, UPI — Vice
President Nixon asked a group of
Alaska Republicans not to forget
Hawaii’s statehood ambitions af
ter Alaska achieves statehood.
The Vice Presidnt was opti
mistic about chances for enact
ment of the Alaska statehood bill
this year.
Nixon addressed his remarks to
a delegation headed by Alaska
Gov. Mil?e Stepovich, GOP na
tional committeeman Walter Hic
kel and national committeewo
man Mrs. Tillie Reeve.
The Alaska group calling on
Nixon included Territorial Sen.
John Butrovich, Robert B. At
well, chairman of the Alaska
Statehood Committee and pub
lisher of the Anchorage Times;
and C. W. Snedden, publisher of
the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
Secretary of Interior Seaton ac
companied the group.
Nixon told the Alaska group
“your friends in’ Hawaii have
taken a very statesmanlike atti
tude in support of Alaska state
hood.”
“I hope once you have accom
plished your goal, which now
seems very likely, you will rec
ognize the job that remains to
get Hawaii in,” he said.
“I personally feel that once
we get Alaska, we ought to make
every effort to push forward for
Hawaii so that we will have the
50-state situation we started out
to achieve.”
Nixon said he was happy to
see Republicans working witH
Democrats in the effort to win
approval of Alaska statehood.
He said the Alaskans had done
a good public relations job, but
much of the credit should go to
Seaton, who, he said, had made
statehood a crusade since he
entered the President’s cabinet.

Supreme Court Asked
To Rule On Little Rock
School Situation
WASHINGTON, UFI — The
Supreme Court Thurday was
asked to hold a special session to
rule on a lower court order de
laying school integration in Little
Rock, Ark., for years.
Two attorneys petitioned the
high tribunal to hear arguments
immediately and overturn the
order by U. S. District Judge
Harry J. Lemley.
Their petition contends Judge
Lemley’s ruling “is directly in
conflict with the Supreme Court’s
decision in the school integration
cases.”
Wiley Branton, of Pine Bluff,
Ark., representing Negro students
in Little Rock, and Waite Madi
son, of New York, of the National
Assn, for the Advancement of
Colored people, filed the petition.
The petition noted that the
U. S. Circuit Court in St. Louis
had already been asked to stay
Judge Lemley’s ruling, but no
action has been taken.
The attorneys suggested that
the Supreme Court permit by
passing of the Circuit Court and
that the high tribunal consider
the case promptly so the issue
may be settled before the next
school term opens in Septmber.
The Supreme Court plans to ad
journ for the summer after a
session next Monday. The peti
tion asked that the court either I
extend its present term or hold
a special term in order to dis
pose of the Little Rock case
promptly.
