Wednesday, Jan. 7, 1959 University Daily Kansan Page 5 Alaska Senators Draw for Terms WASHINGTON—(UPI)—The two Democrats from the nation's newest state settled the length of their terms in a rare drawing before the full Senate shortly after they were sworn in. Gruening drew first and bulled a slip from a small, mandolin-shaped box which bore the number 3, which means he will be a "class III" senior with a four-year term. Bartlett picked out a slip which bore the number 2, which means he will be a "class II" senator with a two-year term. A third slip in the box bore number 1, which means "class I" senator. This could have meant a six-year term had it been drawn by either of the new senators. The drawing means that Alaska will have a senatorial election in 1960 and again in 1962. The results of the drawing meant that although Gruening lost a flip of the coin yesterday and was designated the new state's "junior" senator, his first term in the Senate will be longer than Bartlett's. Under Senate rules, approximately one-third of the Senate's membership must stand for re-election every two years.

U.S. Says Russians Rewriting History WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The United States today charged Russia with trying to "rewrite history" to hide the fate that the Soviet encouraged Hitler's military ambitions and cleared the way for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It also renewed charges that Russia is responsible for the continued division of Germany, the crisis in Berlin and the trouble and insecurity which has plagued Europe ever since the end of World War II. The U. S. charges were contained in a 33-page booklet released by the State Department to refute allegations by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev Nov. 27 to the western Big Three demanding they evacuate West Berlin. Today's publication, described as "an analysis" of the Soviet note, took up the Russian charges one-by-one and knocked them down by citing history and the statements of Russian leaders. The United States said that the Soviet Union, during the time that Hitler was in power, "not only maintained normal diplomatic and economic relations with Germany but also assisted in building up a new German war machine." The document also blamed Russia for playing a major role in starting the Pacific war. It said that "in April, 1941, the USSR signed a neutrality pact with the Japanese ally of Hitler, thereby clearing the way for the Pearl Harbor attack on the United States." The booklet states "in March, 1941, the United States on two occasions warned the USSR that it had received authentic information that Nazi Germany planned to attack the Soviet Union and Prime Minister Churchill warned Stalin to the same effect in late April' but the Kremlin continued to show its solidarity with Hitler and the Japanese.
