...time for the Senate vote that could add a 49th star to the U.S. flag. Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, getting word that diehard opposition, mostly Southern, had gasped its last, rushed from a steak dinner to Capitol Hill. Alaska's Governor Mike Stepovich excused himself to his dinner hosts, sped to the Capitol. The Senate roll was called, and the U.S. Senate last week voted 64 (31 Democrats, 33 Republicans) to 20 to admit Alaska to the Union. 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.

Western mining-state Congressmen like the stockpiling plan better than the out-and-out subsidy previously suggested, thus...

Copper futures rose briefly; custom smelters boosted their prices 1? to 26? per Ib., and the free market price of copper on the London Metal Exchange rose to 25? per Ib., highest since September 1957, before it fell back. Though domestic stocks of refined copper are 253,463 tons, highest since World War II, traders figured that the stockpiling could cut down the surplus, pave the way for a rise from the 25?-per-lb. price still maintained by primary producers. But copper miners pointed out that any real...
