Alaska Law Grants States Exclusive Public School Control
A little noticed 1958 Alaska law grants the state exclusive control over its public schools and bars using land sale proceeds for sectarian education. Congress can empower states similarly, potentially easing integration clashes, while the Supreme Court’s 1954 desegregation ruling remains a constitutional benchmark. The article notes the Alaska measure as a state treaty with the federal government and discusses 14th Amendment and due process limits.

Editorial Cargo Under the Sea
In Long Beach a sea change is described as naval propulsion could carry cargo underwater at high speed. Adm Rickover and Steelways predict submarines ramifying cargo transit to 50 60 mph, potentially reshaping port growth and shipping. A $25,000 study by Electric Boat and Kobe blueprints hint at submarine tankers and nuclear underwater freighters. The Skipjack’s speed and maneuverability exceed early submarines, fueling visions of deep port expansion.

Lurline to Dock at Pier A Long Beach Tomorrow
Lapua Matson Navigation Company's liner Lurline carrying 752 passengers from Honolulu is scheduled to arrive at Long Beach and dock at Pier A for the duration of the waterfront strike. This marks her first visit to Long Beach, normally berthing at Wilmington. Chet Gardner of Long Beach dies in a Flemington New Jersey auto race time trial after a spin to avoid a child on the track. Major E B Allen confirms the accident. Discussion of a highway link to a Ford plant and Long Beach business district includes a possible Terminal Island route and a Union Pacific bridge option, with an alternative road from Wilmington Boulevard deemed unfeasible due to marshland.
