Airlines Attorneys
Confused Over
States-Alaska Service
WASHINGTON, UP> — Immi
nent statehood for Alaska posed
a problem for airline attorneys
Monday at a pre-hearing confer
ence called to lay ground rules
for a forthcoming Civil Aero
nautics Board inquiry into states
Alaska air service.
The inquiry was ordered by the
board to determine whether the
public convenience and necessity
require continued service by four
carriers.
The investigation was sug
gested by the President last year
In a statement accompanying his
signing of the bill granting so
called permanent certification to
Alaska Airlines and Pacific North
ern Airlines. Pan American
World Airways and Northwest
O lent Airlines also operate in
the states-Alaska service.
TTnder territorial status, ser
vice to Alaska was classed as
overseas transportation subject
to the President’s final authority.
W-'th statehood, the service would
become domestic without the
requirement for Presidential ap
proval of routes.
When the question of state
hood’s effect on the investigation
was added as an issue to the
proceeding, one attorney—Gerald
P O’Leary of Pacific Northern
Airlines—commented:
“They are going to have two
senators and one representative
now. It may have a hell of an
effect.”
O’Leary and attorneys for sev
eral other airlines urged exami
ner William J. Madden to seek
postponement of the proceeding
pending a decision on related
matters involved in the intra
Alaska case now awaiting a board
decision.
Attorneys for Alaska Airlines
gpve notice they will* file a
motion seeking dismissal of the
proceeding. They did so when
the attorney for the board’s Bu
reau of Air Operations said he
was unable to say what authority,
if any, the board would have to
force a merger or sale should it
be decided that such action was
in the public interest.
Sen. Kefauver Says
Steel Price Hike
Is Not Justified
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, i#> —
Armco Steel Corp. has announced
the first 1958 steel price boost
for tomorrow—a move Sen. Estes
Kefauver says “will do our eco
nomic recovery a great deal of
harm if sustained.”
The Armco price hike, the com
pany said last night, averages
2.75 per cent on 12 products, in
cluding hot and cold rolled sheets,
and adds up to about $4.50 a ton.
Kefauver, head of the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly Sub
committee, said in Washington the
Armco action was “not justified.”
“In the interest of holding the
line against inflation, I hope
Armco will call off the increase
and that other companies will
not follow it,” the senator added.
Other major producers of steel
made no immediate commitment
to follow Armco’s lead. But
many repeated what they had
been saying for months—that
they must pass on to consumers at
least part of co^t increases they
attribute to a wage boost for

GOP National Committeeman Hickel
Denounces “Small Element” of Party
ANCHORAGE, l£> — Republi
can National Committeeman Wal
ter Hickel yesterday denounced
a “small element” of Republican
officials here for attempting—
as Hickel put it—to “destroy”
the party.
In a prepared statement, Hickel
disclosed some of the activities of
the past few days in connection
\yith the Aug. 26 primary.
He declined to name members
of the “small element,” but the
Anchorage Times said it was ob
vious his remarks were directed
at Third Division Committeeman
Herald Stringer, Maggie Rutledge,
the party’s general counsel, Paul
Robison and others in a so-called
faction.
Hickel said:
“I am deeply disturbed at the
conversation by a small element
in the area concerning p respected
and successful businessman.
George Vaara, and his reasons for
withdrawing as a candidate for
public office, which he could so
ably fill. This small element is
not one that would wish upon
Alaska progress, development,
foresight and happiness for its
people. This group caused some
thing to happen in my home Sun
day evening which is beyond des
cription.
“I built my home for the use
and dignity of my family and to
be of credit to the community.
Last Sunday I received a phone
call at 6:30 p.m. to ask me if
I could attend a small Republican
meeting of about 12 or 15 people.
I said I would. I offered my of
fice and suggested using the
office of an attorney in Anchor
age.
“They asked me if they could
come to my home. I mentioned
it was Sunday but I would be
glad to talk to this group about
any problem they might have.
A few of my friends were there,
but through the doors one hour
later the group swarmed like
locusts and I was berated in my
own home. Approximately 50
people, some of whom I have
never met, entered my home to
try to destroy me with words.
That is wrong.
“It is morally wrong for a thing
like that to happen in one’s home.
This group does not wish to build
but to destroy. They suggested
three names as candidates for
governor: myself, Keith Lesh and
George Vaarda. They did not I
want me for governor. I would
be the last man they would want j
for governor, but they wanted to
destroy another man, namely,
John Butrovich.”
“I knew that they were trying
to use me to destroy a good per
sonal friend of mine, Sen. But
rovich. I tell this because it will
become street talk and it should
be made clear that neither my
home nor my business shall be
used for anything but the better
ment of the people and its social,
economic life.
“My heart is sick that people
like that would feed on and allow
their minds to go in the direction
of destroying during this crucial
hour when we are trying to en
list the services of capable men
to better guide the future of
Alaska.
“There is no time for vindic
tiveness, bitterness. I feel the Re
publican Party has a moral obli
gation, as I do personally, to
help this country which has been
good to us. I am sorry that my
wife and family had to have their
home used for this kind of action.’’

Alaska Shifts
U.S. Geographic
Center To S. Dakota
WASHINGTON, Iff) — The
government said today admission
of Alaska as a state will shift
the geographic center of the Uni
ted States from Kansas to South
Dakota.
This will be the first change
since the U.S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey computed the geographic
center about 40 years ago.
The survey said new calcula
tions, which may be off about 10
miles in any direction, indicate
Alaskan statehood will move the
geographic center from Lebanon,
Kan., to Butte County, xSouth
Dakota. This is a move of about
439 miles in a northwesterly di
rection.
The new center is about 11
miles west of Castle Rock, S.D.,
and 20 miles east of the point at
which South Dakota, Montana
and Wyoming join. It is near a
hill called Two Top Peak.
Rear Adm. H. Arnold Caro,
director of the survey, said the
geographic center of Alaska was
placed about 60 miles northwest
of Mt. McKinley.
Technically, the new center of
the United States is located ap
proximately at latitude 44 de
grees 59 minutes north and longi
tude degrees 38 minutes west.
