Bill Bellz
Pronounced
“Incurable’*
ANCHORAGE, UP) — State Sen,
William E. Beltz i D-Unalakleet),
president of the Alaska Senate,
has been pronounced “incurable”
by doctors connected with his
case.
Beltz is hospitalized at the Al
aska Native Hospital here with
what doctors term a malignant
brain tumor.
The 48-vear-old Eskimo law
maker collapsed on the floor of
the Senate on March 18. At that
time it was attributed to over
work and exhaustion.
After the session and the sub
sequent Democratic State Conven
tion, Beltz entered Providence
Hospital here for observation. He
was then switched to the Alaska
Native Hospital and underwent
an operation May 6.
Dr. Harry Mead, a neurosur
geon, operated on Beltz. He said
the lawmaker had a tumor, but
added that physicians were not
sure it was malignant.
Beltz appeared on the road to
recovery for several weeks. Then
he showed signs of recurrence of
the brain disease and was oper
ated on again on June 2.
Mead said at that time doctors
realized the malignancy had pro
gressed to the point where Beltz
would succumb to any complete
removal of the disease.
Since then Beltz has slowly
slipped into what doctors term a
critical condition. He is paralyzed
on the left side and is reportedly
growing weaker.
Beltz is a veteran Alaska law
maker. He was first elected to
the Territorial House in 1949,
then to the Senate two years
later. He has been in that body
ever since.
Beltz’ present term does not ex
pire until January, 1963.
He has also had a long career
in state labor circles. He was
president of the Fairbanks Car
penters’ local for three years. This
local covers tradesmen in an area
more than a quarter of a million
square miles.
He also served a term as presi
dent of the Alaska-wide Carpen
ters’ Union.
Beltz was elected to be a dele
gate to the Democratic National
Convention in Los Angeles in
July, but his illness forced him
to miss the meeting.
Beltz was born April 17, 1912,
at Bear Creek, near Haycock, and
has lived most of his life in the
Northwest District.
His wife gave birth to the
couple’s fourth child, a boy, on
Aug. 18. The family includes
three boys and a girl.
DOCTORS PRONOUNCE IKE
"IN EXCELLENT HEALTH"
WASHINGTON, 9PI — The first
phase of President Eisenhower’s
annual physical checkup was com
pleted today and one of his doc
tors pronounced him in excellent
health.
The doctor said the tests so far
dealt exclusively with the cardio
vascular and respiratory systems.
These tests are related to the
heart attack which Eisenhower
suffered five years ago this
month.

The two daughters of Mr. and

the girls, Jeannie and Iris, to
Deering every Monday morning.
They stay there until Friday af
ternoon when he picks them up
and takes them home.
The oldest boy, Jimmie, who

at the claim, is returning to the
University of Alaska for his sec
ond year, while the youngest son,
