Butrovich Acclaims Seaton For
Order Abolishing Fish Traps
Stassen Again
“Gunning For”
Richard Nixon
Washington, up> — Harold e.
Stassen, who waged a “dump
Nixon” campaign in 1956, seemed
to be relaunching it today.
He held a political post mortem
with President Eisenhower and
then pointedly omitted Vice Pres
ident Nixon from a list of Re
publican Presidential possibilities
for 1960.
Stassen gave no indication- that
Eisenhower in any way approved
or disapproved this omission.
Now a Philadelphia lawyer,
Stassen is a former Presidential
adviser. Before the 1956 GOP Na
tional Convention he led an un
successful attempt to jettison Nix
on as the Vice Presidential nom
inee.
The campaign didn’t get very
far and, in the end, Stassen him
self made a speech for Nixon in
the convention.
After his visit with Eisenhower
today, Stassen told newsmen he
believes the Republican Party
can win in 1960 with any one of
four men as the Presidential can
didate.
Stassen’s list:
Nelson Rockefeller, who won a
spectacular victory November 4 in
the New York gubernatorial race.
Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. Am
bassador to the United Sations.
Secretary of the Interior Fred
Seaton.
Asked if he didn’t have some
body else in mind, such as Nixon,
Stassen replied:
“Well, I think this 1958 election
speaks for itself in that regard.”
To a question whether he is
“still going to try to dump Nixon,”
Stassen replied that “I don’t think
it should be expressed in those
terms.”
NATION'S OLDEST SOLDIER
COULDN'T MAKE IT
HOUSTON, Tex., Iff) — There
was an ambulance waiting so the
Civil War veteran could ride in
the big Veterans Day parade Tues
day, but the nation’s oldest sol
dier just wasn’t up to it.
Col. Walter Williams, who will
be 116 Friday, is one of the two
surviving veterans of the Civil
War. The other is John Sailing
of Slant, Va.
Members of the family said
Williams has been growing more
feeble and has not been out of
bed for many months.
VOTE FOR MORE HAM
TULSA, Okla., Iff) — At least
two Tulsa voters weren’t haj>py
with candidates in the November
4 general election.
Election officials, recounting
ballots, found Arkansas Governor
Orval Faubus had received one
write-in vote for Governor of
Oklahoma, and former Presiden
tial assistant Sherman Adams got
a vote for Tulsa District Judge.
Also found in a ballot box: a
stale ham sandwich.
f ANCHORAGE, UR — Republican
gubernatorial candidate John Bu
trovich said yesterday Interior
Secretary Fred Seaton’s decision
to ban fish traps “will long live
in the memory of all Alaskans.”
Butrovich, who along with GOP
Senate candidate Mike Stepovich
had sought Seaton’s decision to
ban traps early last month, said
“All Alaska owes a tremendous
vote of thanks.to Secretary Sea
ton for what he has done.
“The first time in our history
that a Secretary of the Interior
has been willing to stand up and
be counted for Alaska was when
Fred Seaton sparked the fight for
Statehood.
“Now he has carried through
with his announcement that fish
traps are gone forever.”
Butrovich, who arrived here
with Stepovich and Seaton, said
Seaton’s action “offers positive
proof that the Republican Party
can and will do for Alaska those
things which need doing.”
Butrovich added:
“Naturally I am pleased that
Mr. Seaton’s announcement was
made in identical letters to me
and to Mike Stepovich. It is sig
nificant, I think, that certain Dem
ocrats were attempting to embar
rass Mr. Seaton by a public cla
mor about the fish traps.
1 “The Secretary’s decision, as we
now know, was reached long be
fore he left Washington for his
current trip to Alaska. He has
been generous enough to acknow
ledge the fact that Mike Stepo
vich and myself — without any
public clamor — had helped him
arrive at this far-reaching de
cision.”
Sen. Kennedy Declares Alaska Policies
Will be Determined by the Democrats
ANCHORAGE, UFi — Senator
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) ended
his Alaska campaign swing last
night with another call for the
election of a Democratic Congres
sional delegation in the 49th State.
Kennedy, speaking before a
cheering crowd in the Anchorage
High School auditorium, again
laid emphsis on the Democratic
election sweep last week in the
national voting.
“The Congressional policies that
will shape the future of this state
will be written largely in the
councils of the Democratic Party,”
Kennedy said. He added:
“Of what possible benefit can
it be to Alaska to send a Senator
to join the dwindling ranks of the
minority party — to send a man
who will serve on the bottom
rung on the minority side in the
least important committees —
particularly when you have an
opportunity to send back to Wash
ington two Senators and a Con
gressman Who are already widely
known and respected.”
Kennedy singled out special
praise for Democratic Senatorial
candidates E. L. Bartlett and Er
nest Gruening and Ralph Rivers.
The 41-year-old Senator, who
lost a bid for the Democratic vice
presidential bid two years ago and
is frequently mentioned as a pos
sibility for the top nomination in
1960, repeated attacks against
Vice President Richard Nixon and
Interior Secretary Fred A.
Seaton.
He called attention to the Vice
President’s Alaska campaign for
Republicans, and told his audience
that in earlier speeches Nixon
had spoken favorably of high un
employment compensation.
A bill that would have provided
for extra jobless benefits, failed
however, Kennedy said, without
receiving support of Nixon.
He spoke against Interior De
partment power policies in a rap
at Interior Secretary Seaton, who
also arrived in Anchorage yester
day to campaign for Republican
hopefuls. Seaton’s power policies,
Kennedy said, “will doom Alaska
as it has other Western states
where public power projects have
been balked.”

the kids are young, when they’ll
really get the most out of it,”
explained Mrs. Ryan.
The Ryans plan to stop in many
ports, usually during the winter
months, and work to get traveling
money.
