IN BACK OF IT All
Alaska’s Hour of Glory
NEVER BEFORE has the Fourth of July meant so
much to Alaskans as it will on this Independence
Day, 1959.
Tomorrow in 49 States the flags being raised
will display 49 stars, and one of them, the newest and
brightest, is for the State of Alaska.
Drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson, the Decla
ration of Independence expresses the essence of the
political philosophy of the founders of this nation —
that men are created equal and endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Now we enjoy the privilege of having full rights
with our Sister States, equality with our fellow Amer
icans, and a flag that proclaims to the world the
nation's acceptance of Alaska.
The 49 Star Flag will wave over the nation for a
full year before the Hawaiian star is added. There
should be a 49 Star Flag gracing every business house
tomorrow, decorating every home, symbolic of the
pride and joy which is in our hearts.
We should rejoice in flaunting it not only on
July 4, but on every possible occasion, as proud
citizens of the United States.

4We’re Oil the Road’
In Nation’s Affairs,
Bartlett
WASHINGTON, — Alaska
is meeting the challenge of state
hood enthusiastically, Senator
Bob Bartlett said last night on the
eve of the 49th state’s official en
try into the union.
“We’re on the road,” he said.
“Now we feel we’re full partners,
although we’ve always felt we
were part of the U. S.”
Asked in a radio interview if
Alaskans are interested in na
tional and international matters
as well as state problems, Bart
lett said people of his state are
well-read and well-grounded in
non-state matters.
“With Russia just a short 50
miles across the Bering Strait
from us, we are especilly inter
ested in deense,” he said.
Bartlett was asked about home
steaders and their mineral rights.
“Homestead laws were made
when the West was being settled.
There have been many changes
and we need new ones to take
care of the changes,” Bartlett said.
Asked if he would run for re
election in the Alaska primary
in August, 1960, Bartlett said he
has every intention of continuing
as Senator from Alaska.
One immediate effect of state
hood will be an increase in road
mileage in Alaska, Bartlett said.
“In the past we got along with
just a pittance for roads but now
we will receive some 36 million
dollars in construction funds from !
the government.” Bartlett added j
that currently Alaska has about
4,000 miles of roads of all kinds.
The state, he said, is keenly
interested in economic association
with Japan. He mentioned a 55
million dollar pulp mill built by
American and Japanese capital
and said investigations are under
way in oil and other fields.

(Continued from Page One)
only places where the flag is
authorized to fly at night. Dawn
is the official earliest time else
where.
The staff on which the 49-star
flag will wave at Fort McHenry
is the handiwork of George J.
Pultz, a steeplejack and pole
maker from Marlboro, N. Y.
“I’m one of the last of the
craftsmen in America,” says the
43-year-old Pultz.
He made the staff from four
Douglas fir logs. He joined them
with glue, then hewed them round
with a razor sharp ax and adz.
Finally, he honed the wood
smooth with a drawing knife.
Pultz was paid $9,000 for the
work by the New York Comunity
Trust.
Historians of the service re
cently finished 20 months of re
search at Fort McHenry. Among
the things they discovered was
the exact location 'of the staff
holding the flag in 1814.
A second flag-raising ceremony
will be held at the fort Saturday
morning. A Boy Scout troop will
raise two flags.
They will be flown to Alaska
toy Charles F. Willis Jr., president
of Alaska Airlines. Willis will pre
sent the flags to the Southeastern
and Western Councils of the Boy
Scouts in Alaska. t
