President, After Speech
Of Acceptance, Takes
Rest Front Politics
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., (J’l—
President Eisenhower, a bit tired
but happy, put politics on the
shelf temporarily today and was
looking forward to whacking a
few balls at this golfers’ paradise
on the Pacific Ocean.
The President arrived at near
by Monterey by special train last
night from San Francisco. A few
hours earlier he had accepted the
nomination for a second term at
the closing session of the Repub
lican National Convention.
He got a rip-roaring ovation at
the start and at the conclusion of
an address interrupted frequently
by enthusiastic applause—an ad
dress in which he termed the
GOP “the party of the future”
and pledged to continue working
for prosperity at home and peace
in the world.

Alaska Statehood
Got Plug on
Convention Floor
SAN FRANCISCO, —T h e
chairman of the Alaska delega
tion to the Republican National
Convention plugged the territory’s
campaign for statehood on the
floor of the convention Wednes
floor of the convention 'Wednes
day night.
Every time there was a roll call
of states, Elton Engstrom of Ju
neau responded for Alaska with
remarks aimed at promoting en
actment of a statehood bill during
the next session of Congress.
“The great state of Alaska-to-be
under the next Republican ad
ministration passes,” was the way
Engstrom answered the first roll
call for the territory.
Engstrom, former Republican
territorial chairman, said he
talked to Secretary of the Interior
Seaton after the convention
adopted its 1956 platform calling
for immediate statehood for Alas
ka with defense provisions.
“After talking with him, I feel
Alaska will definitely be admitted
to the family of stated during the
next Congress,” Engstrom said.
The Democratic platform adopt
ed at Chicago last week also called
for immediate statehood for Alas
ka. Engstrom said the statehood
planks in both party platforms
should preclude enabling legisla
tion from becoming a political is
sue.
He cast Alaska’s four votes for
the renomination of President
Eisenhower and Vice President
Nixon.
he lives he will probably say he
doesn’t understand why; the en
gine just had a top overhaul. And
we will probably find that the
engine had had five “top over
hauls” but had never had a major
overhaul.
And someone will undoubtedly
have gas trouble by trying to fly
without it, such as running out of
it, taking off on an empty tank,
forgetting to switch tanks before
landing, or trying to burn water.
