Gov. Wm. Egan
Has No Comment
On Political Future
JUNEAU Ml — Gov. Wm. Egan
declined today to disclose his
future political plans, explaining
that to do so before the 1962
Legislature “would tend to cre
ate an atmosphere not compatible
with my conception of good gov
ernment.”
Asked to comment on an an
nouncement yesterday by John
Rader of Anchorage, a former
State Attorney General under
Egan and Egan’s campaign man
ager in 1958, that Rader would
seek the governorship next year,
Egan said he would not care to
comment on the candidacy of any
one person.
“With regard to a decision re
lating to my personal plans for
the future,” Egan said at a news
conference, “a crucially impor
tant legislative session convenes
on the 4th Monday of January,
1962.
“There is ample time. Filing
for public office is in order till
May 1st and the primary election
is not until Aug. 14, 1962.
"Consequently, I have decided
to withhold announcement of ray
plans till after the adjournment
of the 1962 legislative session.”
Egan laughed off a prediction
that Rader’s announcement that
he would seek the governorship
meant that Egan would seek the
U.S. Senate seat now held by
Ernest Gruening, who, like Egan,
is a Democrat.
On another subject, Egan said
his version of reapportionment
of the State House of Rrepresent
atives would be made public be
fore the Dec. 18 deadline.
“In studying the recommenda
tions submitted to me by the Re
appportionment Advisory Board,”
Egan said, “it is clear that those
•people really worked hard and
conscientiously in arriving at their
conclusions.”
Funeral services for Barney
Buck of Candle will be held Fri
day morning at 10 a .in. from Our
Savior’s Lutheran Church.

City Council Meets
With State CD Director
The Nome City Council held a
meeting Monday evening with
Don Lowefll, State Director of
Civil Defense.
Mr. Lowell pointed out to the
council that the state dept, of
civil defense has no power to
dictate civil defense procedure to
municipalities. Their function is
to provide training and liaison,
state surplus properties as needed
by each locality for civil defense
purposes and to secure and ad
minister federal matching fuhds
for civil defense.
Mr. Lowell said that a radio
logical course is being given in
Anchorage, to local CD officers,
consisting of 40 hours of training.
These people then can return to
their home towns and teach a
10-hours course and rereive fed
eral equipment.
Nome, according to Mr. Lowell,
is eligible for four medical kits,
dosimeters and other radiological
metering equipment. He said that
Civil Defense printed material is
already on the way.
The CD director revealed that
the Army Engineers are making
a survey of all federally owned
buildings and a team of1 engineers
will come to Nome soon to make
such a survey.
Mr. Lowell recommended that
the City of Nome take over the
civil defense program started by
Les Bronson, who is the area di
rector for CD.
(Mayor Wilke said that he per
sonally would take over the
direction of the City of Nome's
CD effort and (that a meeting
would be called very soon toward
this end.
One of the plus factors in
Nome’s favor, as pointed out by
Mr. Lowell was that Nome has
almost a year’s supply of food on
hand in the stores and commis
saries and that most homes have
their own water storage Which is
very important in planning to
wait out a serious radioactive
fallout.
The USO show scheduled for
8:30 Friday, has been advanced
to 8:30 the same evening due
to the postponement of the bas
ketball game originally scheduled.
