Nixon Still Gets Alaska
GOP Vote, Says Groseclose
FAIRBANKS, UP) — Alaska Re
publicans will stick with Vice
President Richard Nixon on the
party’s first Presidential nomi
nating ballot, GOP State Chair
man Robert Groseclose said on
Monday.
Groseclose declined to speculate
on the chances of Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York, who has
said he would accept a draft for
the nomination if offered at the
Republican National Convention
at Chicago in July.
The state’s six votes at the
GOP National Convention here
were committed to Nixon by dele
gates to the Alaska Republican
conclave earlier this month at
Anchorage.
Groseclose is chairman of the
state’s national convention dele
gation.
U. S. House Reshapes,
Lengthens Time on Bill for
School Construction
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
House shaped its school construc
tion bill more toward Adminis
tration demands yesterday, but
added an extra year and 325 mil
lion dollars to the program as the
cost of compromise.
Heading towards an expected
final vote, it accepted two key
proposals of the Administration:
(A) Requiring states to match all
federal funds received, and (B)
allocating the money on the basis
of need.
But over solid Republican op
position it voted to increase the
325 million-dollar-a-year program
from three to four years.

Soviets Jammed U. S.
President’s Broadcast
LONDON, UP) — The live broad
cast of President Eisenhower’s re
port on the summit conference ap
parently did not get through to
the Soviet people.
Washington headquarters of the
Voice of America said the Soviets
let the first 10 minutes of the
speech get through, then jammed
the last 15 minutes. But the U. S.
Embassy in Moscow said the U. S.
government radio was jammed all
night.
Since Eisenhower’s broadcast
began at 3 a.m. Moscow time, it
is doubtful that any Soviets would
have been listening anyway.
There was also no report of the
speech or comment on it in Mos
cow’s morning papers.
Impossible to Slip by DEW Line
PARAMUS, N. J., UP) — It

North Pole and take photographs
of America, say Air Defense

The officials, in charge of the
U. S .Distant Early Warning
(DEW) Line system of radar sta

comment Monday at the end of a
two-day meeting to discuss the
system in light of the U-2 spy
plane incidenti

State Will Sit Tight,
Hoping for Trap
Ban in High Court
JUNEAU, Iff) — Governor Egan
said Thursday he is “fervently
hoping that the decision of the
U. S. Supreme Court” in the
Alaska fish trap case “will pre
clude such- regulations” as pro
posed by the Interior Department
for 1960 fishing by natives in
Alaska.
The state, the Governor said,
plans no action against the pro
posed 1960 native regulation until
a decision by the Supreme Court
has been announced in a case
involving 1959 federal regulations
that gave three Southeastern vil
lages the right to use salmon traps
— gear banned under Alaska law.
“We have to sit tight,” Egan
said. “If we did something at this
time we would be flouting our
authority in the face of the Su
preme Court.”
Interior Secretary Seaton pro
posed I960’ federal regulations
governing Indian fishing in Alas
ka last month, and his proposals
drew heavy criticism from the
Governor and other members of
the state administration.
In a telegram from Washington
Wednesday, Seaton advised the
Governor the proposed regulations
would be promulgated “without
undue delay” unless some decisive
action by the Supreme Court pre
cluded adoption of the new rules.
Last year, federal regulations
authorized the villages of Angoon,
Metlakatla and Kake to fish with
11 traps. The state blocked use of
the traps, and won a U. S. District
Court decision upholding the anti
trap laws.
However, the villages — on ap
peal to the Supreme Court —
won an injunction permitting use
of the traps last year, pending a
decision by the high court on the
merits of the case. Arguments in
the case were heard by the court
in Washington two weeks ago.
Kenai Schoolteacher
Reaches Philadelphia Too
Late for P-TA Voting
PHILADELPHIA, UP) — An
Alaska schoolteacher who set out
by automobile 12 days ago for
the National P-TA Convention,
finally made it 'Monday — on the
last day of the four-day meeting.
Mary Hawkins is a voting
member of the Alaska delegation,
but she got here too late to vote
on anything.
She and her two sons, Charles,
14, and Richard, 10, left Ninil
chik, on the Kenai Peninsula, on
Friday the 13th. But she said on
arrival it wasn’t bad luck which
delayed her — “We didn’t have
so much as a flat tire” — It was
just 4,500 long miles of driving.
The trip wasn’t wasted. Her
girlhood home is in Carlisle, Pa.,
and she plans a long visit there
before heading back to her log
cabin in late Jufie. That log
cabin, incidentally, has a full
basement, oil heat, running water,
electricty and television.

Egan Convinced Alaskans
Will Reject Capitol Move
JUNEAU, UP — Governor Egan
said Tuesday he was “just as
firmly convinced as ever” that
voters of the state will reject a
proposal that Alaska’s capitol be
moved.
Egan, in reply to questions
from Juneau reporters at a news
conference, said he had found “no
grass roots sentiment” in favor of
the initiative proposal during a
trip the past week to Fairbanks
and Anchorage.
“I’m just as firmly convinced
as ever the people recognize a
move of this kind would be ex
tremely costly and damaging to
one area of Alaska,” the Governor
said. His comments were in line
with previous opposition he had
expressed to the proposal.
The initiative, to be voted on
August 9, calls for relocation of
the capitol in the Cook Inlet-Rail
belt area by 1965. The capitol
I has been at Juneau since 1906.
