1Opinion of the Court
McCARREY, District Judge.
These cases come before the court on a motion to dismiss based upon the grounds that since Alaska was admitted to the Union as a state on the 3d day of January 1959, by presidential proclamation, the United States District Court for the Territory of Alaska is now without federal jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters arising under the laws of the United States.
The court, on its own motion, ordered the above four eases consolidated for the sole purpose of deciding the jurisdiction question common to all of them.
