TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT?

gach Mountains, Ft. Richardson, Elmendorf Air Force
Base, Mt. McKinley, Fairbanks, Ladd Air Force Base,
The University of Alaska, Ft. Greely, and Juneau.

mark, Japan, Brazil, Iran, Germany, Paraguay, Peru,
Sweden, Etheopia, Australia, Haiti, Italy, Argentina,
Spain, Burma, Guatemala, Venezuela, Netherlands,
Indonesia, Israel, Austria, Yugoslavia, Greece, Portu
gal, Norway and Iraq.
Is not Northwestern Alaska part of the State?
Are we so close to the Iron Curtain that it is not safe
for military visitors? Is our military ashamed to show
the foreigners that the coast of Alaska is without mili
tary protection — and sticks out like an Achilles’
heel, an invitation to aggression? We don’t know the
answer but we sure would like an explanation.
Absentee Ballots Must Be
In The Mail By Friday
JUNEAU, UPi — Alaskans who
plan to cast absentee ballots by
mail for the Aug. 9 primary elec
tion must have their requests in
the mails by Friday, Secretary of
State Hugh Wade advised today.
The requests for absentee bal
lots must be sent to the District
or Deputy Magistrate in the
voter’s home district four days
before the election, Wade said,
and must be sent back by return
mail not later than Aug. 9, the
day of the election.
Wade, with the primary elec
tion only a week off, said he was
still holding to his estimate of a
vote of 35,000 in the primary
election, despite hot voter interest
in Initiative No. 1, the capital
move proposal.
Wade said all radio transmit
ters operated by the state, includ
ing those used by the Department
of Fish and Game and those oper
ated by the Division of Highways,
would be utilized this year to
speed electon results into the
major collection centers.
