ANOTHER STEP IN A LONG FRIENDSHIP
_
NINETIETH ALASKA DAY
As an American country, Alaska is ninety years
old today.
About this time ninety years ago the stars and
stripes replaced the Russian flag at the capitol city
of Sitka.
A Cinderella colony, it has struggled for the basic
things enjoyed by all other Americans such as self
government and equality.
As a business deal it has paid off many times over
as its natural wealth, minerals, wildlife resources are
tapped through the years, but even with planes and
jets bringing Washington closer to Alaska every year
the federal government finds it hard to believe its
citizens are grown up enough to have full rights as
citizens.
Alaskans just keep right on trying and each
Alaska Day brings statehood a- little closer to reality.
Statehood may be the Cinderella slipper which
will be the final touch to make Alaska the most out
standing, self-supporting state of the Union.
Navy Transport With
£ngine Dead Safely
Finishes Pacific Crossing
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE,
■Calif., U?)—A Navy Constellation
transport with one engine stopped
landed safely here yesterday after
a flight from Hawaii. It was 47
minutes late.
“We never were in any danger
and everybody remained quite
calm,” said the pilot, Lt. Fred, E.
Tankersley, 40, of Moffett Field,
Calif.
The four-engine plane, with 55
passengers and 13 crewmen
aboard, was escorted here by an
amphibian rescue craft. The No. 4
engine of the transport went dead
beyond the point of no return on
the flight to the mainland.
Bound for Moffett Field, a Navy
base, the plane was directed to
this air base because of the longer
runways and emergency crash
equipment.
The landing was uneventful. A
Travis officer remarked later that
one engine going out on a four
engine plane was more or less
routine.
Radioactive Rain
From Soviet H-Tests
Falls on Japan
KANAZAWA, Japan, UP)—“Hot”
rain with 2,440 counts of radio
activity per minute was recorded
here yesterday.
The Wajima Meteorological Ob
servatory said it was the first time
in six months that radioactivity
of more than 1,000 counts had
been recorded on the west central
sea coast.
The high count yesterday was
attributed to recent Soviet nu
clear tests in Siberia.

She’s the Daughter of a Welshman

| Brando’s dark and beautiful new
| wife sticks to her story she is a
j full-blooded native of India.

In Cardiff, Wales, William Pat- j
- I
rick O’Callaghan has claimed the
23-year-old actress is his daugh
ter, Joan, born in India while he
was working there as a railroad
man.
He repeated the claim yester
day and also said he did not wish
to discuss the subject any more.
In a statement issued thru a
movie studio spokesman, Mrs.
Brando said she was bom to In
dian parents, but her mother later
married O’Callaghan.
She said she used Joanna O’Cal
laghan as her legal name, which
appears on U.S. immigration rec
ords.
The statement said, in part:
“I was born in Calcutta to my
Indian parents, Devi Kashfi, a
civil engineer and architect, and
Selma Ghose, on Sept. 30, 1934.
“We moved to Darkeeling soon
thereafter. I attended St. Helena’s
Convent in Kursoung, India, until
I was 17.
“When I was 16 my mother re
married William Patrick O’Cal
laghan. I acquired their name and
used it as my legal name on my
first trip to England in 1952.”
