Nancy Anne Fleming of
Montague, Michigan.
Is Miss America of 1961
NEW YORK, (if)—Miss America
1961 is nonpartisan when it comes
to national politics.
Miss Nancy Anne Fleming, 18,
of Montague, Mich., told her first
New York news conference that
she thinks the two major presi
dential candidates, Vice President
Nixon and Sen. Kennedy, are
“charming men.” But she said she
hadn’t given them much thought
'because she is too young to vote.
On the question of boy friends,
she said she has no steady ones
but would not discuss whether
there is one that she prefers.
She keeps her trim 35-22-35
figure at 116 pounds, she said,
“through exercise rather than
diet.”
She told newsmen she hopes to
become a fashion writer and likes
sewing and writing.
A year of travel, fame and for
tune awaits the 18-year-old
beauty who Saturday night suc
ceeded Lynda Lee Mead of Nat
chez, Miss., as queen of the na
tion’s oldest beauty and talent
pageant.

Ketchikan Businessman
Sees Bright Future For
Alaska. British Columbia
PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., UP! —
An Alaskan business executive
| predicted Saturday a bright fu
ture for British Columbia and
Alaska in the next 20 years.
R. E. Ellis told the Associated
Boards of Trade of central B.C.,
“I consider the population and ec
onomy of this area should double
in 20 years. We can only go one
way. We must expand.”
Ellis, president of Ellis Air
1 lines, said transport is the key
problem for the development of
both areas.
‘‘We can look forward shortly,”
he said, “to seeing medium range
jet transports, fast - loading
freighters that fuel as they load
and aircraft for feeder services
which will aid in bringing freight
rate per ton to less than five
cents.”
He said Prince Rupert was a
natural center for trade to the
Far East as it had both harbor
i facilities and rail transport direct
| to all Canada and the United
States.

I McKinley Takes
Issue With Sen.
Kennedy Statement
I Dr. Lee McKinley last week
criticized Sen. John F. Kennedy’s
statement that “if Alaska still be
longer to the Russians, Rampart
Canyon Dam would be underway
today.”
Kennedy made the statment in
a speech at Palmer which stressed
his support of the huge hydro
electric project.
“It is apparent Sen. Kennedy
has no real knowledge of Alas
j ka’s problems,” McKinley, the Re
I publican candidate for United
! States Senate, said. “We need
many smaller power projects to
make our state more attractive to
industry, not a development like
! the Rampart which cannot possib
I ly be economically feasible for
many years.”
The Republican senatorial can
didate added it is unfortunate that
Kennedy has no ideas of his own
to propose for Alaskans. “He is
merely repeating an idea of Sen.
Ernest Gruening who is trying to
gain votes for two years from
now when he is up for rel-elec
tion,” he commented.
McKinley stated he was con
cerned to hear the Democratic
presidential candidate insinuate
that the Russians could do a bet
ter job of developing the state
than Americans. “Americans and
especially Alaskans have a deep
pride in their country,” he said.
“It has always been the American
tradition to develop new territory
and the challenge of development
j is what brought most of us to
Alaska.”
McKinley questioned what Ken
nedy is going to offer other states
| for the purchase of their electoral
votes. “He promised a billion dol
lar project like Rampart for Al
aska’s three electoral votes, the
Republican senatorial candidate
said. “I wonder what he will offer
Pennsylvania for its 32 electoral
votes? He must have 269 elec
toral votes to become president
and if he spends one-third of a
billion for each vote, I shudder to
think what our taxes will be in
1964.”
