Disappointed in
Selection of Judge
FAIRBANKS, WPt—The general
reaction among Fairbanks Repub
licans to the appointment of Ver
non D. Forbes of Wahpeton, N.D.,
to be federal district judge for the
Fourth Division was disappoint
ment that an Alaskan was not
named.
Forbes, 48, was nominated by
President Eisenhower Friday and
the nomination was confirmed by
the Senate Saturday.
The appointment brought a
comment from Cash Cole, Alaska
GOP Central Committee chair-:
man, that “Alaskans are begin
ning to wonder why we’re spend
ing American taxpayers’ dollars
for free elections in foreign coun
tries.”
Silvia Ringstad, president of
the' Fourth Division Republican
Club, said: “Of course I’m disap
pointed,” and refused further
comment.
Territorial Sen. Mike Stepovich
of Fairbanks, who had been re
ported to have the inside track
for the judgeship, similarly re
fused comment. /
Judge Harry A. Pratt, of Fair
banks, whose place Forbes is tak
ing, expressed pleasure at the ap
pointment. After 19 years on the
bench here, he said, he is glad to
retire. He plans to continue living
1 in Fairbanks.
