Prospects are better than ever before that the Senate will adopt the Hove approved measure. Former Alaska Governor Ernest Gruening, as senator-elect jrom the territory, is well versed in the oair and problems of the proposed state and has iwitten this article with this insight. i 7 Alaska is now close to statehood. But for Alaska to become a state and have a star added to the flag by July 4 will take some quick doing. First the Senate will have to approve it and then the President will have to sign into law the House passed measure.

As to how to add the star in the flag that's something else. In 1912 a joint Army-Navy board designed the bunting which is still in use today. The board's report was approved the same day Arizona became the 48th state. So far no board has been appointed although there have been many suggestions as to how to arrange the stars in the upper left quadrant. Most logical have been seven rows of seven stars each and a staggered field of four rows of six stars and five rows Frondizi Facing Uncertain Future Aawiflattit Prtna Wlrpht JUDGE HORACE STERN Retired Pennsylvania Chief Justice new state.

(That will still be a than any other state has been granted.) Establishment of Alaska's own judiciary which Congress hitherto prohibited. Since only federal judges have been permitted and Congress has granted no additional ones since 1909, while the population of Alaska has more than tripled, the court calendars have been clogged with thousands of cases pending, resulting in "justice delayed is justice denied." Management by Alaska of Its own natural resources, the most important of which, the salmon fishery, has been gravely depleted under federal regulation. Removal of discrimination in federal maritime law, specifically aimed at Alaska, which has resulted in excessive freight rates and the highest cost of living under the flag. Statehood will automatically void this discrimination. Statehood will give Alaska the tools two United States senators and a representative to remove other discriminations which have gravely handicapped Alaska's development Substitution of home rule for that of a remote federal bureaucracy.

New industry and enterprise, hitherto unwilling to invest under the uncertainties of long-range federal domination, will be attracted by a more hospitable and more stable economic climate. New Opportunities Open To Nation The benefits of Alaskan statehood to the nation will include: Strengthening of national defense. Development of a hitherto underdeveloped area, making important raw materials needed far smaller proportion of land by the national economy available, with opportunities for investment of capital at the very time when the United States stands in danger of being excluded or limited in foreign areas in which it has invested and traded, either through the rise of fanatical nationalism or the penetration of communism. Opening up a new frontier of opportunity in a period of recession. Alaska should before long offer all kinds of opportunities to people, young and old, imbued with the pioneer spirit.

Alaska will require additional skills and crafts those of architects, engineers, surveyors, mechanics, accountants, stenographers, doctors, nurses, teachers, farmers, and business enterprises with imagination and initiative. By HERBERT M. CLARK Spfrial to Th Miami Nfwt BUENOS AIRES, June 21 Argentina's government seemed to be falling of its own inertia last week. Only the most avid partisans of President Arturo Frondizi believe that he will complete the six-year term to which he was elected only last February. Bitter opponents forecast that only a miracle could extend his stay in the presidency longer By ERNEST GRUENING po-ll Tlx Miami WASHINGTON, June 21 -If Alaska wins jiatehood it will ba the first new state since Ari-rona'i admission In 1912 an Interval of 46 years which contrasts with the longest preceding Interval of 13 years between Colorado's in 1876 and of North and South Dakota In 1889.

With Alaskan statehood an area of 586,400 square miles will be added to the Union, enlarging it by 20 per cent. The largest slate mow than twice the size of Texas's 267,339 square miles will come Into being. The United States will extend for the first time Into the arctic and bito the eastern hemisphere. The 91-year-old pledge In the treaty of cession with Russia will have been fulfilled. New Frontier A new frontier, comparable in size and potentials with the old west, will be thrown open to settlement.

A vast area filled with natural resources many of which have been locked up under federal control will be available for development. They include 31 out of 33 critical strategic minerals, timber, fisheries, oil and natural gas, hydroelectric power. Some 60,000 new voters will be added to the nation's electorate a number that may be expected to increase rapidly. The battle for Alaskan statehood has been the longest by far cf any American dependent area: 91 years. Land Was Cheap When Alaska was acquired from Russia in 1867 for less than two cents an acre, and really one of the great real estate bargains of all history the purchase was denounced as "Seward's Folly" and Alaska pictured as a and scarcely habitable waste of ice and snow.

This misconception, which to a degree has persisted to this day, has hindered development and delayed recognition of Alaska's claims i for equal treatment. The first statehood bill was Introduced in 1916. President Truman endorsed Statehood for Alaska in his first The Offing Next week the United States could have a new flag. But chances are it won't happen and Old Glory will remain the same until July 4, 1959, or whenever a state is added. According to in 1818 law each additional state requires another star and "such addition shall take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding admission." of five stars.

to come up with any acceptable answer to the oil problem. Meantime, friction within the heterogeneous coalition of extremist members of the Radical Party, Communists and followers of ex-dictator Peron on which Frondizi rode to power has made it clear that he will have to find a new basis for support. Neither of the two existing alternatives holds real hope for Dr. Frondizi or for Argentina. An open alliance with Peron would unite the armed forces and the five million who cast anti-Peron ballots in the February elections against the government and almost certainly precipitate a civil war which Dr.

Frondizi could not survive. Dr. Frondizi's second choice is to work for the re-unification of the Radical Party which he divided. Since the centrist Peoples' Radical wing is the only group aside from Frondizi's own Intransigente faction represented in Congress, that would give Argentina a uni-party government not far from dictatorship and opposed by exactly half the nation's nine million voters. long hours of hard work, shorn of all social frills and persiflage.

And the future of the television station will rest in the hands of the examiner Judg Horace Stern of Philadelphia, 79-year-old retired chief justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. His decision could take the channel away from the present owners and disqualify one or more applicants for the channel from consideration. Judge Stern, who has 36 'years experience as a jurist, was picked by the Federal Communications Commission to preside over the hottest case it has ever handled. It is the first time In its history that the FCC has gone outside of its own staff for an examiner.

Miami May Be Site Judge Stern is scheduled to meet with attorneys in the case Monday to lay the ground rules for the hearing. At that time, Miami may be selected as the site for the hearing.

A hitch in the Marines interrupted his college education at Dartmouth where he finally earned his diploma in 1920. The jut-jawed, 5-foot, 8-inch dynamo learned early how to deal with people. After leaving college he worked for a Vermont logging company and was boss of 600 to 700 tough lumberjacks, most of whom towered over him. Even then he had a reputation of being a hard man but fair.

The people of Alaska In a referendum provided by their previous territorial legislature voted In 1946, that they wanted statehood. Statehood bills were promptly Introduced thereafter in every congress. Alaska To Reap Numerous Benefits The benefits of Alaska anticipated from statehood are: "Government by consent of the governed" the most basic of American principles. An end to "taxation without representation" which Alaskans have endured for over half a ERNEST GRUENING Alaskan Senator-elect century, since they pay all federal taxes and some additional special taxes for benefits which the states enjoy but Alaska does not.

These Include inability to make any basic land laws, as a result of which over 99 per cent of Alaska's land is still in federal ownership.

Between those two extremes, the Civic Revolutionary Movement, civilians who helped spark the anti Peron revolt, mourned in their weekly paper "Sixteen" that "the borrowed president" elected with Peron support "is fading, thus nullify-, ing the revolution which restored democracy." Most Argentines were determined to give Frondizi a chance when he was sworn into the presidency on May 1, some convinced that only a stable constitutional government could raise the country's international status, others believing in Frondizi's campaign promises that he held "miracle solutions" to national problems.

The issues that Judge Stent will have to decide are: Should Mack have disqualified himself from voting? Did anyone attempt to influence any commissioner in the case in an official manner?

Is the award void or voidable; are any of the applicants disnualified, or did their activities reflect adversely on thera from a comparative standpoint?
