Statehood Committee To
Meet With The New
Tennessee Plan Candidates
KETCHIKAN—The Alaska
Statehood Committee and mem
bers of the new four-man delega
tion to Congress will meet here
Oct. 25 to map strategy for the
fight for statehood in the coming
Congress.
Chairman Bob Atwood called
the session during the week.
It is the first one here, home of
vice chairman William L. Baker,
and close to the home of Frank
Peratrovich, member from Kla
wock.
To be decided are several mat
ters involving financial support of
the statehood agency, and wheth
er to send an executive secretary
to Washington to assist in the
fight.
The Statehood Committee has
arranged to pay the “congress
men” $35 per day in Washington
for 60 days, after which the legis
lature would pay their salaries of
around $1,000 per month apiece
unless Congress admitted them
to membership.

JAPAN, RUSSIA
SIGN TREATY
ENDING WAR
By ROY ESSOYAN
MOSCOW, l—Japan and the
Soviet Union today signed a dec
laration ending the 11-year state
of war between them.
Japanese Premier Ichiro Hato
yama and Soviet Premier Nicolai
Bulganin signed the end of war
declaration and a trade protocol
after more than 16 months of off
and on negotiations.
Practically the entire presidium
of the Soviet government and its
ruling Communist Party were
ranged behind them in the klieg
lit conference room of the grand
Kremlin Palace as they attached
their signatures.
The declaration ending the state
of war deferred all discussions on
Japan’s territorial claims to a lat
er date. Japan failed to win the
immediate return of Soviet-occu
pied Habomais and Shikotan Is
lands north of Japan. The Soviet
agreed to return the islands only
after the conclusion of a formal
peace treaty.
The trade protocol granted
most-favored nation treatment by
both sides. Under that formula,
each nation agrees to give the
other treatment as good as it gives
any other nation in a trade deal.
Announcing the conclusion of
talks, Japanese officials said they
had reached “complete agree
ment” with the Soviet govern
ment. Russia refused to sign the
San Francisco Peace Treaty in
1951.
Formal Japanese-Soviet peace
treaty talks are to be held later, !
but no date has been fixed.
