Alaska Mountain
Named In Honor
Of Oregon Senator
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, D-Ore., expressed gratitude that a mountain in Alaska has been named in honor of her late husband, Sen. Richard L. Neuberger.
"I have just learned that the Board of Geographic Names of the Department of Interior has named a mountain in Alaska in honor of Dick," Mrs. Neuberger said in a statement.
"It is my understanding the action by the board was taken at the request of Secretary Seaton, the Alaskan Congressional delegation and the Alaskan Legislature. I am pleased to accept this honor in Dick's memory.
"No person fought harder for Alaskan Statehood. Dick was aide-de-camp to Gen. James A. O'Connor for more than three years during the construction of the Alaska Military Highway, from July 15, 1942, until August 12, 1945.
"This action by members of the Board of Geographic Names is a splendid tribute to Dick and to Oregon. I hope that before too long I can again visit Alaska and see the mountain. Meanwhile I look forward to receiving a photograph of Mount Neuberger. It will have a place of honor in my office."
