...thing, Governor Mike stands under heavy obligation to Washington architects of Alaska statehood, especially Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton. The Republicans among them have pointedly communicated to him the U.S. Senate's need for Republican bodies...
Around a T-shaped table in the office of Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, 25 representatives of 15 major oil companies met last week to demothball a tool left over from Suez. The oilmen were the backbone of the Foreign Petroleum Supply Committee, whose members formed a special committee to keep Europe's oil flowing in 1956 during the Suez crisis. Present purpose: to keep oil coming in case the fields in Iraq-or any other Arab land-should be suddenly shut down. Said Seaton: "We must be prepared to move, and move quickly...
...Seaton wants the industry to operate in much the same manner as during Suez, but on a wider scale. Instead of concerning itself chiefly with alternate transportation for oil that normally passed through the canal, the new Middle East emergency committee will stress production as well. All the major overseas operators will be members, plus several wholly domestic companies, which were excluded from the Suez committee.

Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, getting word that diehard opposition, mostly Southern, had gasped its last, rushed from a steak dinner to Capitol Hill.

Barring only the foregone conclusions of a presidential signature and an Alaska referendum next month, the U.S. had its first...
This year, smelling victory, Snedden spent five months in Washington working hand in glove with Fred Seaton, Secretary of the Interior, and himself boss of a string of eight daily newspapers in Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and South Dakota. Snedden paced the Senate and House office buildings, flipping through 3-by-5 cards printed with summaries of legislators' stands on the bill, fed data to pro-Alaska Senators, whipped up answers to every possible objection to statehood. His influence was everywhere. When Washington's Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson momentarily flagged in his zeal for statehood, he was spurred...
