Description	Written on front: To my friend Ernest Gruening with best wishes William E. Beltz . Verso: William Ernest Beltz, a 47 year-old native of the Eskimo village of Unalakleet, is president of the Alaskan State Senate as Alaska makes the complicated transition from territorial to State government. Beltz's father, a native of Pennsylvania went to Alaska during the Yukon gold rush. His mother was an Eskimo. A carpenter by trade, Senator Beltz has been active in labor affairs and in the welfare problems of the native Eskimo, Indian and Aleut populations. Senator Beltz served for one year in the 1949 Territorial House of Representatives, and has been in the Senate since then. He is married to a former New York State girl and is the father of three children. Senator William E. Beltz, newly-elected President of the Alaskan State Senate, tries out his new desk and the gavel with which he calls the Senate to order.
