Billings, John took top honors in
the competition. His project was

COMMENTS
By Verne O. Martin
Republican for Governor
I notice the charges I recent
ly leveled at the administration
of the Wasilla Youth Camp
have been indirectly proven. As
you wil recall, information on
conditions at the camp were
brought to me and were veri
fied. I passed the information
on to Gov. Egan, who ordered
the investigation. But the wit
nesses bringing me the infor
maton were not allowed to tes
tify. The whole thing wound up
in whitewash. Now, Mr. Carter,
the man who was in charge of
the Wasilla camp, has resigned
and he told the press it was as
a direct result of the charges I
brought. In other words, the
truth will out.
Alaskans face another jump in
taxes as a result of the deficit
spending of Gov. Egan, plung
ing the state some $25-million
in debt during the next fiscal
year. A study of the senate jour
nal indicates that not even our
own Republican state senators,
Coghill and Pollock, put up
much of a battle against this ri
diculous spending spree. As a
matter of fact, they introduced
legislation to put Alaska an
other $20-million in the red. As
Governor of Aaska, I will fight
either Democrat or Republican
to keep a balanced budget. I
will administer Alaska on a bus
inesslike basis, rather than the
present policy of “anyone who
asks for anything shall receive
everything.”
