A PROCLAMATION
Veterans Day -- November 11,1955
WHEREAS it has long been a national custom to commemorate
November 11, the anniversary of the ending of World War I, by
paying tribute to the heroes of that tragic struggle and by rededicating
ourselves to the causes of peace; and
WHEREAS in the intervening years the United States has been
involved in two other great military conflicts, which have added
millions of veterans living and dead to the honor rolls of this Nation;
and
WHEREAS the Congress passed a concurrent resolution on June
4, 1926 (44 Stat. 1982), calling for the observance of November 11
with appropriate ceremonies, and later provided in an Act approved
May 13, 1938 (52 Stat. 351), that the eleventh of November should be
a legal holiday and should be known as Armistice Day; and
WHEREAS in order to expand the significance of that commem
oration and in order that a grateful Nation might pay appropriate
iiomage to the veterans of all its wars who have contributed so much
to the preseravtion of this Nation, the Congress, by an Act approved
•June >1, 1954 (68 Stat. 168), changed the name of the holiday to
Veterans Day:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, B. Frank Heintzleman, Governor of the
Territory of Alaska, do hereby call upon all of our citizens to observe
Friday, November 11, 1955, as Veterans Day. On that day let us
solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly,
on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage
of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting
an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.
In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this
anniversary, the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the
common purpose of acknowledging the valiant service of living
veterans under the theme, PEACE WITH HONOR.
I am requesting all citizens of the Territory, all business enter
prises, all veterans’ organizations, and Territorial officials to assist
in every way possible toward celebrating November 11, 1955, in an
appropriate manner.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the Territory of Alaska to be affixed.
DONE at Juneau, the capital, this twentieth day of October, 1955.
(SEAL) B. Frank Heintzleman
Governor of Alaska
Angola Republican (Indiana): “Our educational
problem is two-pronged: a lack of proper classroom
’space and a shortage of teachers. . . . The federal gov
ernment is now taking about on^-third of people’s in
come and returning to the local communities a small
fraction at a great cost in the charge of handling. If the
federal government should return to the states certain
areas of taxation or a certain percentage of income taxes
collected, the state, under local supervision, could meet
the tremendous problem confronting it.”
Third of Delegates
Have Definite Ideas
On Constitution
FAIRBANKS, (4V-Some 55 el
ected Alaskans moved into this
interior city Tuesday to draft a
constitution to be used if and
when Alaska is granted statehood,
and one thing appeared about cer
tain: it will be the coldest such
convention in history.
A still, chill 28 degrees below
zero greeted the arriving dele
gates Monday who begin a con
vention which cannot exceed 75
days. This period will take the
convention into the mid - winter
season when the mercury has
dipped as low as 40 to 50 degrees
below zero and stayed that way
for days at a time.
A preliminary poll taken by the
Associaed Press showed that more
than one-third of the delegates re
sponding have definite ideas on
what the constitution should con
tain.
They oppose writing any pro
hibition against gambling into the
document.
On the other hand, they won’t
favor writing any Nevada - type
free-and-easy divorce provisions
into the basic laws.
They want a strong executive
authority.
They don’t want to slice the
territory — which would be the
nation’s largest state — into the
large number of counties which
prevail in the 48 states.
They favor continuing the pres
ent two-house type of legislature,
but a majority think a session
should be held annually, instead
of every two years.
They favor keeping the number
of territorial elected officers to a
minimum, leaving to the governor
the job of naming heads of ad
ministrative departments — and
holding him responsible.
Dime Store Heiress
Has High Hopes for
Marriage Number Six
PARIS, Uf)—Dime store heiress
Barbara Hutton, who voiced high
hopes for her five previous mar
riages, tried it again Tuesday with
one-time German tennis star
Baron Gottfried von Cramm.
It was the second marriage for
46-year-old von Cramm-. Miss
Hutton will be 43 next Monday.
They slipped out to suburban
Versailles and were married by
the deputy mayor in a quiet cere
mony at the rambling city hall.
No one paid much attention.
There were only two witnesses
—the baron’s brother and the of
ficial in charge of nearby Chateau
de Versailles.
The marriage had been planned
for weeks but was conducted al
most like an elopement.
Miss Hutton recently obtained a
divorce from her fifth husband—
playboy Dominican diplomat Por
firio Rubirosa — on whom she
showered lavish presents during
the 73 days they lived together.

Knowland Says Some Labor Leaders
Hope to Gain Control of Government
MIAMI, Fla., (ff) — Sen. Know-*
land (R-Calif) said today some
labor leaders hope to capture the
Democratic party and gain control
of the government by 1960, if not
in 1956.
Knowland, the Senate Republi
can leader, said in a speech pre
pared for the U.S. Savings and
Loan League that the people and
Congress are going to watch how
the leaders of the combined AFL
and CIO attempt to wield political
power.
“There are some in the ranks
of the new labor combine who
visualize taking control of' the
Democratic party as they have in
Michigan and making it into the
American equivalent of the Brit
ish Labor party,” he declared.
“They hope by capturing a
great existing party to retain the
name, the tradition and the ties
and loyalties of generations. By
1960 if not in 1956, they plan
thereby to gain control over the
governmental structure of this
country. This is not in the best
interests of labor or the nation
as a whole.”
Knowland, who probably will
seek the Republican presidential
nomination if President Eisen
hower doesn’t run, thus joined
chairman Goldwater (Ariz.) of the
Republican senatorial campaign
committee in criticizing political
activities of labor leaders.
Goldwater said in a recent re
port that “CIO goon squads” had
been used in gaining what he con
tended was labor control over the
Democratic party organization in
Michigan. His charges labor lead
ers were planning nation - wide
“massive use of political slush
funds” were denied by union
leaders.
Knowland’s support of the
Goldwater theme indicated that a
substantial bloc of Republicans
may be ready to fight openly the
labor leaders they contend are al
ways backing Democrats.
