Nixon Urges Alaska Voters To Back
Stepovich, Butrovich In State Election
FAIRBANKS, Of) — Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon ended a
three-day tour of Alaska Monday
with the strongest words of his
campaign, in support of Repub
lican candidates in the newest
State.
He emphasized the youth of for
mer Governor Mike Stepovich,
and said he would be “one of the
greatest senators Alaska will ever
have.”
He described John Butrovich
Jr. as a man who seeks the gov
ernorship with a background of
experience, character and know
ledge of Alaska’s problems — “not
a shadow candidate you can’t
find.”
Alaskans vote November 25 for
their first State officials, three
weeks from today’s elections in
47 states.
Nixon’s trip into Alaska, the
first campaignisg in the Territory
by a Vice Pdesident, followed a
cross - country political push
aimed at overcoming predicted
Democratic gains.
The Vice President said the final
Rr publican drive had reversed
the apparent Democratic trend in
the States, and said the same thing
was happening in Alaska.
Stepovich, 39, ran 5,700 votes
ahead of former Governor Ernest
Giuening, 71 in August primary
balloting for one of the two U. S.
Senate seats that will be open to
Alaska next year.
Most observers have felt that
Gruening’s well-organized cam
paign has since reduced Stepo
vich’s apparent margin, and
some regard the race as a toss-up.
“There is no doubt in my mind,”
Nixon said, “but that Mike Step
ovich is runnisg ahead of his
opponent.”
And he told a final rally in a
downtown theater here:
“It is tremendously important
to send a man down who can
serve long enough to gain sen
iority.”
In the governor’s job, Nixon
said, Alaska “needs a big leaguer.”
“John Butrovich is a big lea
guer,” he said. “His opponent is
not in the same Teague in ex
perience and background.”
The GOP nominee faces Demo
crat William Egan in the election.
Egan, who served as a Tennessee
Plan Senator during the last 18
months of the Statehood fight be
fore Congress, ran more than 12,
000 votes ahead of Butrovich in
the primary.
The Vice President hit hard at
Democratic campaign attacks on
Stepovich’s record in support of
Statehood. Democrats have said the
former governor become a State
hood supporter only after his ap
pointment to the Governor’s
office.
If the Democrats want to make
that an issue, Nixon said, the Re
publicans would “take them on
and give them the licking of their
lives.”
“If it hadn’t been for these two
men (Stepovich and Butrovich),
and Interior Secretary Fred Sea
ton, Alaska wouldn’t be a state
today,” Nixon said.
The Vice President again Mon
day, as he had previously at Ju
neau and Anchorage Saturday,
said Statehood came to Alaska
during ap. Eisenhower Adminis
tration and with the support of
more Republicans than Demo
crats.
Also Monday he called for In
dependent and Democratic votes
for Republican candidates in the
Alaska election. He admitted Dem
ocrats outnumber Republicans in
the new State.
Alaska voting patterns, he said,
were similar to many Western
states. Alaskans, he said, vote for
the man instead of the party.

Investigations Of
Salmon Migration
On In Tokyo
By BOB UCHIMA
TOKYO, UP) — The Interna
tional North Pacific Commission
instructed one of its committees
yesterday to investigate further
whether more restrictions are
needed on Japanese salmon fish
ing.
Delegates agreed to hand to the
protocal committee for further
study the issue concerning the in
termingling of North American
and Asian origin salmon. This is
reportedly one of the most deli
cate issues facing the conference.
The United States reportedly
wants to move farther Westward
the 175 degree west longitude
boundary eastward of which the
Japanese can pot fish.
The U. S. contends fish from
North America are caught west
of the line.
The commission also took up
some 20 other agendas, divided
them among its four committees
and adjourned the plenary ses
sion for three days. It meets
again Saturday.
Commission Chairman Iwao
Fujita, vice president of Japan
Fisheries Association, said the
conference was “far more impor
tant” than previous meetings be
cause delegates will discuss mov
ing the boundary farther west
ward.
They also will determine whe
ther to continue restricting Japan
from'catching salmon, halibut and
herring off the North American
coast.
GOP Leader Martin
Promises Statehood For
Territory Of Hawaii
WASHINGTON, UP) — House
Republican leader Joseph W. Mar
tin Jr. (Mass.) promised Hawaiians
Monday that if Republicans con
trol the House in the next Con
gress Statehood for the Territory
would be high on their legislative
program.
Democratic leader John W. Mc
Cormack iftlass) promised the
same thing in a floor speech late
in the last session.
McCormack told the House the
reason Hawaiian statehood was
not brough up this year was that it
was too late in the session to get
the bill through Congress after
passage of Alaskan Statehood. He
said it would be brought up ear
lier in the next Congress.

Balloting In
Cuban Election
HAVANA, UR — Former Pre
mier Andres Rivero Aguere has
won election 'by a wide margin to
succeed his political sponsor,
President Fulgencio Batista, in
complete returns showed yester
day. A light turnout and blood
shed marked the heavily guarded
balloting in the revolt-torn na
tion Monday, but lopsided early
figures from the four-man race in
dicated a landslide for Rivero
Aguere.
Hundreds of thousands of the
nation’s 2,870,000 eligible voters
— perhaps as many as 60 per
cent — stayed away from the
polls. Apathy and fear were
factors.
Rebel leader Fidel Castro, had
called for a boycott. With eight
candidates killed during the cam
paigning, Castro threatened death
to all other candidates and repris
als against Cubans who voted.
