Gov. Egan to Name
Replacement (or
Sen. Art Johnson
JUNEAU UP> — Gov. Win. Egan
said Tuesday he plans to name a
replacement for Arthur D. John
son of Nome in the State House
of Representatives “as quickly as
possible."
Johnson, a Republican, was kill
ed Dec. 8 when his plane crash
ed on a mercy flight between
White Mountain and Nome. The
woman he was taking to a Nome
hospital also died in the crash.
Egan said he had already had
several conversations about the
impending appointment, but he
declined to name those persons
who were under consideration.
On other subjects at a news
conference, the Governor had the
following to say:
The State of Hawaii is continu
ing a study of the possibility of
leasing one of Alaska’s ferries
for use early in 1963 on inter
island runs, to determine the
feasibility of starting such sur
face ferry service in the islands.
Egan emphasized that the pro
posal, first made by Hawaii’s
Gov. Wm. Quinn in a personal
letter to Egan, is still in the ex
ploratory stage and that no for
mal offers have been made.
“It sounds good to me, though,
if something can be worked out,”
Egan said. “Of course, there are
a number of problems which
would have to be solved before
such an arrangement could be
made."
Egan said work on the budget
he will present to the 1962 Leg
islature, covering state operations
for fiscal 1983, is “proceeding.”
“We have not reached the point,
however, where we have related
the preliminary budget to anti
cipated income,” the Governor
said.

Cat Lover Supreme, Wins
Dog Food Jingle Contest
NEW YORK W> — Miss Cecile
Wulff, a cat lover supreme, won
a $4,000 prize in a dog food jingle
contest.
And if you think she was sur
prised, think of the contest repre
sentative who delivered the check
to her Brooklyn residence yester
day.
“We have to take ’em as they
come,” he mumbled after catch
ing a glimpse of the nine felines
lounging about the apartment
Miss Wulff shares with her sister,
Miss Harriet Wulff.
The beaming winner advised
him happily that the money would
go a long way towards keeping
Baby, Spotty, Aggie, Dolly, Dotty
Hawkins, Froggy, Stacy, Nicely
and Nonny in food.
“Unfortunately, we (Ralston
Purina Co.) do not manufacture
cat food,” he sighed.
Contest participants had to say
which of the five dog cartoons was
funniest then supply the last line
of a four-line jingle about dogs.
iMiss Wulff wouldn’t disclose
any of the eight entries she sub
mitted.
Neither would the contest re
presentative. If he did he ex
plained, thousands of losers all
over the country would raise a
howl attur ''d to the (belief that
their entries were better.
The Wulff sisters had a dog
until about a year ago. But as
the cat clan grew the canine be
came increasingly melancholy and
finally died.
