NEW X-RAY HOURS
The X-ray team which started
taking chest X-rays for the public
from the ages of three and up
yesterday, will be taking them
until 7 o’clock tonight at the
Grand Jury room of the Federal
Building. On Thursday the hours
will be from 1 o’clock until 4
p.m. and from 5 to 7 o’clock in
the evening.
On Friday the hours will be
from 10:00 a.m. until noon and
from 1 until 5 o’clock in the af
ternoon.
The change was made neces
sary as the Federal Building
closes at seven o’clock.
There has been some objection
expressed to having routine chest
x-rays, it has been reported, due
articles which have appeared in
various publications.
Dr. Johnson, Director of Tuber
culosis Control, states that the
danger from a routine chest x-ray
with properly monitored equip
ment, is grossly exaggerated.
Dr. Johnson stated that some
hospital patients have had as
many as 2,000 chest x-rays and
had not exceeded the total allow
able radiation exposure. In order
to have an overdose of radiation,
he stated “a person should come
to a permissible limit of dosage,
if he had an x-ray every day for
the first 30 years of his life.”
The x-rays being given, are not
only for tuberculosis, but also for
heart and cancer.

Kennedy \\ ins
Edge Over Nixon
In TV Debate
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Two nervous young men joined
in political debate in a Chicago
television studio Monday night,
reaching in unprecedented fash
ion for approval by the people of
the United States, and as the re
turns became known it appeared
that Sen. John Kennedy had high
score.
In a stark setting designed to
focus all attention on a serious
project, Vice President Richard
Nixon and Kennedy stood on their
dignity and good manners. There
was almost none of the famous
smiling and homebody appeal.
There was a little jabbing, but no
knife-throwing, no roundhouse
swings.
Both men were fast on the
draw with statistics about the
gross national product, farm in
come, the cost of social projects
and the like.
In effect, Kennedy said to Am
erica, “Go, go, go,” and Nixon
said “Sure we must go, but not
by expanding government too
much, or at too great a cost, nor
at the expense of taking the zing
out of private enterprise.”
On the issues, neither man
scored heavily, just asking the
voters to judge which methods
should be used to approach prac
tically the same goals, and which
I man was better qualified by ex
perience to conduct the program.
It was more of an already boring
campaign.
When Nixon made a point, Ken
nedy looked swiftly from side to
side as though seeking the reac
tion from an audience which
wasn’t there. Nixon, in turn,
would look sharply at the cam
j era. Kennedy swallowed. Nixon
looked a little cooler under fire.
Where Kennedy scored his ex
tra points lay in the way he mar
shaled his argument from begin
ning to end. He got the toss, and
Nixon was forced to begin by an
swering, and from there on the
Vice President played a largely
defensive game.
Kennedy, on the other hand,
brushed through the questions and
kept plugging at his own story in
his own way. He appeared to be
using more time than Nixon, the
way he crowded in his points.
Yet at the end he had said only
about 200 more words.
There wasn't much meat in the
performance for the serious politi
cally minded listener, and there
wasn’t any show for the merely
casual. The candidates probably
will do better next time, when
some of the dignity, and the re
sponsibility of setting a campaign
precedent, have worn away.

Uniform Pay Plan For State Employes
By WARD SIMS
JUNEAU, uR—Gov. William A.
Egan issued an executive order
which establishes, for the first
time in Alaska’s history, a uni
form pay plan for all state em
ployes.
The pay plan, according to the
executive order, went into effect
as of Sept. 1. It is subject to leg
islative review. -
The pay plan, Egan said, is
based on a complete state job
classification plan and is designed
to give state employes “like pay
for like work.”
Application of the new plan to
individual employes still is under
way by department heads.
John S. Beard, director of the
Division of Personnel, said it was
believed that adjustments re
quired to bring out an equitable
uniform pay scale for all state
employes will result in an up
ward revision of pay for most em
ployes in the lower and medium
pay ranges. The increases will be
retroactive to Sept. 1.
The new pay plan calls for a
pay scale ranging down to $265
a month and up to $1,405 for em
ployes in Southeastern Alaska;
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Nome will no
longer honor bills for labor, ser
vices or supplies charged to the
City without a Purchase Order
signed by the councilmen in
charge of the department for
which the labor, services or sup
plies are procured.
This ruling will not apply to
services, labor and supplies con
tracted for by the City Council.
Standing committees are:
Fire & Water: Hedreen, Perkins
Police & Jail: Doyle, McLean.
Streets & Lights: Herman,
Doyle.
Health & Relief: McLean, Hed
reen.
Finance & Building: Gray,
Herman.
Laws & Printing: Perkins,
Gray.
By order of Nome City Council:
Robert F. Scott,
City Clerk
Publish Sept. 28, 30, Oct. 3, 1960
from $285 to $1,405 in Southcen
tral Alaska; and from $305 to
$1,365 in Central and Northwest
ern Alaska.
The absolute top in all areas
is $1,405, with the Central and
Northwestern top $1,365.
Southcentral, Central and
Northwestern employes receive a
cost of living differential which
ranges from 4 to 13.3 per cent of
their salary, depending on their
pay.
The lower percentage is for
those in the higher wage brackets,
the higher percentage for those in
the lower wage brackets.
The salary range, starting with
the lowest, two, and continuing
to the highest, 15, has six steps.
At range 15, in the Central or
Northwestern Districts, an em
ploye could receive $710, $735,
$760, $785, $810 or $840 a month.
After next July 1, the employe
will be placed on a higher step in
his pay range solely on the basis
of the quality of work he per
forms for the state.
