| Alaska Republicans Pound Out Party
Platform; Stand by Nixon for President
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Repub
licans wound up their state con
vention Sunday night without
creating any serious rifts and
after hammering out a platform
and resolutions covering a multi
tude of controversial issues.
The delegates, meeting in the
Z. J. Loussac Library, also in
structed their six-vote delegation
to the Republican National Con
vention to back Vice President
Nixon on the first ballot — re
portedly the first time the delega
tion has ever been given instruc
tions.
The expected fight over the re
election of Walter Hickel as na
tional committeeman failed to
materialize. Neither was any en
dorsement voiced for Interior Sec
retary Fred Seaton for the Vice
Presidency.
Southeastern delegates were
adamant against Seaton because
of the fish trap issue. They were
also the core of expected oppo
sition to Hickel.
With the non-eruption of those
matters, most of the fireworks
centered on platform planks and
resolutions. Convention chairman
and former Governor Mike Stepo
vich let. the delegates argue the
points out in detail, and jnany sub
jects . were debated for half an
hour or more.
Would Lower Legislative Pay
The GOP called for a substan
tial reduction in both the yearly
salary of $3,000 and the $40-per
day per diem pay granted legis
lators.
Sen. John Coghill (R-Nenana),
a critic of the salaries, said legis
lators got $5,600 for the past ses
sion’s 65 days — $200 of which
came when they ran over the ex
pected 60-day limit.
Republican passed a resolution
asking that the Local Boundary
Commission be able to act only
on borough boundaries — a ref
erence to the fight over Fairview’s
annexation.
Other Platform Items
Other major platform planks
and resolutions include:
Construction of new access
roads and establishment of a ferry
system and work with the Cana
dian government on such projects
as keeping the Haines highway
open all year. •
Finding ways and means to in
. crease the basic salaries of
teachers.
Electing the State Attorney
General.
(Raising the price of gold.
An incentive tax structure to
aid business.
Promotion of the tourist in
dustry.
Increased fisheries research fa
cilities.
Get state lands into private
ownership.
The optional election of magis
trates in incorporated cities.
A new election code “to restore
rights to the voters.”
A motion that State Superior
and Supreme Court judges be ap
pointed so that no political party
has more than a simple majority
of judges. All at present are
Democrats.
Among proposals killed by the
convention were initiative and
referendum provisions, a measure
that would allow government em
ployes to do political work in their
“own time” and the election of
the Alaska Secretary of State.
The convention also voted to
increase the number of delegates
to the next state meeting to 150.
Mrs. Robert (Tillie) Reeve was
re-elected national committee
woman by the convention.
Delegates elected to the national
convention are W. W. Laws,
Nome; Bob Groseclose and Lu
cille Harkubus, Fairbanks; Jack
White and Frank Harris, Anchor
age, and Bob Druxman, Juneau.
Alternates are Vesta Sund
strom, Nome; John Coghill, Nena
na; Della See and Mel Tipton, An
chorage; Jack Sherman, Ketchi
kan, and Doris Barnes, Wrangell.
Electors chosen are Charles
Jones, Nome; M. D. Snodgrass,
Palmer, and Sylvia Ringstad,
Fairbanks.
KIWANIS PRESIDENT SAYS
WE AVOID RESPONSIBILITIES
VANCOUVER, B. C., W) — Most
North Americans appear to avoid
the responsibilities of citizenship,
says Albert J. Tully of Mobile,
Ala., Kiwanis International presi
dent. i
Tuliy, addressing local Kiwanis
Monday, said electoins are an
example of public apathy.
Many don’t vote and others “re
fuse political office . . . because
politics is a dirty word,” he said.
Tully left Vancouver Monday
night en route to Alaska.
