$27%- Million State
Budget Gets Nod
In 1 <ast Action
JUNEAU, W — Both houses
unanimously agreed Wednesday to
accept a conference committee re
port recommending several
changes in the 27 V2. million dol
lar state general expenses budget
for the coming fiscal year.
Chief among the changes rec
ommended by the committee would
be a contingency item of $55,500
for civil defense, which would be
' in addition to an appropriation of
$15,300 contained in the budget
bill.
The additional funds would be
contingent on “an inventory of
civil defense property, establish
ment of property controls and gen
eral standards of civil defense
functions.”
It would be up to the Governor
to decide when the additional
funds would be made available to
the Civil Defense Agency.
The civil defense problem arose
after a Legislative Audit Com
mittee investigation reportedly
found fault with the way the
agency had stored provisions in
event of an emergency.
Another major change in the
bill would make it possible for
the State Fish and Game Depart
ment to make immediate use, if
necessary, of contingency funds
appropriated in the budget.
A total of $529,145 was called j
for- in the bill in event the state |
obtained control of its fish and!
game resources this year.

Still Under Acting Governor
For the second consecutive
Alaska Legislature, the lawmak
ing was conducted under an act
ing Governor.
Two years ago, when the last
Territorial Legislature met, Re
publican Waino Hendrickson was
the acting Governor in his capa
city as appointed Secretary of
State.
For the first state session, elec
ted Secretary of State Hugh Wade
served as chief executive.
He was acting in place of Wil
liam Egan, Alaska’s first elected
Governor, who was hospitalized
two hours after his inauguration
last January 3.
Egan came back to assist Wade
in the closing hours of the Legis
lature.
He specifically informed the
Legislature that he was not as
suming the duties of his $25,000
a-year office and that Wade would
remain as acting Governor.
Egan is expected to undergo ad
ditional surgery to clear up a gall
stone condition later this month,
and Wade was expected to remain
as acting chief executive until
later in the summer.
