GOP Candidate Raps
Capital Move Initiative
FAIRBANKS, 9Pt—Jack Ryan, a
Fairbanks newspaperman who is
seeking the Republican nomina
tion for U.S. Representative, yes
terday described the capitol move
fight as a “controversy . . . guar
anteed to destroy Alaska’s unity.”
Ryan, an employe of the Fair
banks News - Miner, said he is
against transfer of the capitol
from Juneau to the Cook Inlet
Railbelt area, as proposed by In
itiative No. 1 to be voted on
Aug. 9.
Ryan, in a prepared statement,
said the financing of such things
as highways, hospitals and mental
health and juvenile detention fa
cilities should take precedence
over the financing of a new state
capitol.
“The average Alaskan has no
thing to gain from a capitol
move,” Ryan said. “This is a pro
posal to squander money we don’t
have, and which would be better
spent on something else if we did
have it.”

Predict 10 Casualties
From Fireworks This Year
BOSTON, U*—The July 4 holi
day death toll in 1903 was 466.
But not from automobiles; from
fireworks.
That was the first year the Na
tional Fire Protection Assn., non
profit safety organization, began
keeping records.
This year, the story will be
different. NFPA general manager
Percy Bugbee estimates fireworks
casualties this Fourth will num
ber not more than 1G—and most
of these will be injuries rather
than fatalities.
“The few casualties which may
be reported this year,” he says,
“will likely come from places
where there is no effective state
wide control,* or from the small
amount of bootlegging of fire
works into states which prohibit
them.”
He urged parents in such areas
to do two things: keep a close
watch on youngsters’ celebration
activities, and to “get busy work
ing for a sound state fireworks
law.”

SOLON SAYS RUSSIANS
ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR
PLANE READY TO FLY
WASHINGTON, U5—:Rep. Mel
vin Price (D-Ill) said today he
believes the Russians are so far
ahead of this country on atomic
aircraft development that “if
President Eisenhower had made
the trip to Moscow they would
have flown the first nuclear plane
for him” as a proganda move.
Price made the remarks at a
news conference called to air his
views that the American nuclear
aircraft program has been slowed
by being “studied to death” by
various committees of the De
fense Department, Congress, and
the administration.
Price said that if the present
rate of funding the project—150
million dollars a year—is not re
duced. the U.S. should be able to
get an advance-type nuclear plane
having military capability, in the
air by 1985.
