Alaska Museum To Get
Painting “Signing of
The Alaska Treaty”
AUBURN, N.Y., UP — A copy
of the painting, “Signing the Alas
ka Treaty,” will be sent by the
Seward Mansion here as a gift to
an Alaska museum.
The painting, by Emanuel
Leutze, shows William H. Seward,
Secretary of State under Presi
dent Andrew Johnson, preparing
to sign the treaty by which the
United States bought Alaska from
Russia. The $7,200,000 trans
action took place March 30,
1867.
Though bom in the village of
Florida, Orange County, Seward
moved to Auburn when he was
22 and spent most of his life
here. His home .is known as
Seward Mansion.
A letter from the Alaska His
torical Library and Museum at
Juneau prompted the gift. The
museum wrote that its repro
duction of the painting had been
destroyed by water from a pipe
that had burst. The letter asked
how much another copy would
cost.
The original painting hangs in
the mansion here. Officials said
a sepia reproduction of the
enormous picture would soon be
mailed to the territory.

To Study Effects of Pesticides and
Insecticides on Fish and Wildlife
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate passed and sent to President
Eisenhower Wednesday night a
bill directing the Secretary of
Interior to increase his efforts to
determine the effects of new
pesticides and insecticide^ on fish
and wildlife.
Sponsors said more than 200
highly toxic pesticides and in
secticides are being used to aid in
production of farm crops but
that their effects on wildlifq are
almost completely unknown.
Some laboratory studies have
indicated, as an example, that ex
cessive amounts of DDT might
completely eliminate quail, the
sponsors said.
The Senate completed legisla
tive action on the bill by ac
cepting a provision added to the
original Senate measure in the
House. This authorizes an an
nual $280,000 appropriation to
carry out the new law.
