Nearly 107 Million
Americans Will be Eligible
To Vote In Nov. 8 Election
WASHINGTON, W—Nearly 107
million American citizens will be
old enough to vote in the Novem
ber General Election, the Census
Bureau estimates.
But only about 64Vi million
actually will vote, the Bureau
said today, if the same propor
tion of voting-age men and wom
en cast ballots as in 1956.
The total presidential vote four
years ago was 62,027,000, or 60.4
per cent of the 102,726,000 civil
ians who were then of voting age.
The census estimate of the
number who will be of voting age
on Nov. 8—106,874,000—excludes
about 1.9 million members of the
armed forces at home and abroad
and an unknown number of civ
ilians abroad, some of whom
would be eligible to vote.
Women of voting age, estimated
at 56.1 million, will outnumber
men by about 5.2 million.
Census said its total includes
“a great many persons who, al
though old enough to vote, can
not do so.” Among the latter are
about 2.75 million aliens; resi
dents of jails, mental hospitals
and the District of Columbia; and
some who have not satisfied state
requirements as to residence, reg
istration or poltax payment.

Funeral Held For Father
Linssen of Bethel
FAIRBANKS, UR—Funeral ser
vices were held in Bethel Wed
nesday for the Rev. Paul Linssen,
Catholic missionary who perished
on a boat trip from Bethel to
Nelson Island in Bering Sea on
Sept. 16.
The body of Bernard Nurak, a
passenger in Father Linssen’s
boat, still has not been found.
Father Linssen’s body was
found last Friday about 100 miles
downstream from the wreckage of
the 40-foot boat.
The two men left Bethel short
ly before a storm swept the area
and were believed to have been
caught in midstream when it
broke.
Father Linssen, from Holland,
had served the natives in the Nel
son Island area as a missionary
for about five years. He was on
a supply trip to the island when
he lost his life.
Foresee Drafting 500
Doctors Next Year
WASHINGTON, UR — The De
fense Department will ask the
drafting of up to 500 doctors dur
ing the next fiscal year, the Army
Navy Air Force Journal predicted
today.
The doctor draft has not been
used since February 1957, the un
official but authoritative service
publication said, and during this
time not enough interns and resi
dent physicians have been volun
teering to meet requirements.
A decision of the exact size of
the doctor draft quota will be
made after next March 1. There
are no present plans to draft den
tists, the Journal says.

Egan Will Name
Another Minister
To Parole Board
JUNEAU, UPI—Gov. William A.
Egan said yesterday he will name
another minister to take the place
he had once designated for the
Rev. Felton H. Griffin of An
chorage on the State Parole
Board.
The chief executive told his
Thursday news conference he had
not contacted the man he has in
mind to join Mary Alice Miller
of Fairbanks and Charles Pfeiffer,
Director of the State Division of
Youth and Adult Authority, on
the Parole Board.
Griffin was appointed to the
board on Aug. 22 along with Mrs.
Miller and Pfeiffer, but before
the Anchorage minister took his
oath of office he wrote a stinging
attack on Catholicism.
The article appeared in the
September issue of the magazine
Alaska Baptist Messenger. Grif
fin is pastor of the First Baptist
Church in Anchorage.
After the article appeared, Egan
decided Griffin’s strong religious
convictions might affect his deci
sions as a member of the State
Parole Board.
Consequently Griffin was never
administered the oath of office.
Legally, he was never a member
of the Parole Board.
“If it were a Catholic I planned
to appoint and I found be had
religious convictions so strong he
would condemn another man on
religious grounds alone, I would
take the same course of action
again,” Egan said.
Griffin’s article dealt primar
ily with the Democratic party's
presidential nominee, Sen. John
F. Kennedy, a Catholic.
Egan, incidentally, is a strong
Kennedy supporter.

Clyde Kammerer is safely back
at the Veteran’s Hospital in Long
Beach, Calif., having flown down

Nome about two weeks ago.

tion for everything that was done
for him here during his recent
visit and he said he will long re
member the warm welcome by his
many friends.
