GOVERNOR EGAN PROTESTS PROPSED
MILITARY FUEL CONVERSION PLAN
See Related Story on Page 1
Governor William A Egan
last week protested the conver
sion of military power plants
at Elmendorf and Fort Rich
ardson from coal to natural gas
in a letter addressed to Secre
tary of Defense Robert Mc
j Namara.
In his letter Governor Egan
pointed out that the State ad
! ministration ordinarily would
j not become involved in a situ
j at ion where one fuel source
competes with another. 'How
ever, it apepars to me that in
this instance many questions
should be considered other
i than a possible fuel cost saving
j to military establishments,” he
added.
“The fact that natural gas is
| permitted to bid on a 10 year
' contract while the coal indus
! try can only bid on a one year
basis clearly places coal at a
j serious disadvantage in trying
to retain a market which it has
served faithfully and well for
nearly two decades. In the in
terests of fairness both fuel
sources should be entitled to
bid equally.
"The coal industry has been
| most responsible in realizing
I that the discovery and distribu
; tion of natural gas will make
1 significant inroads into exist
ing coal markets. However,
time is required before the coal
industry can either gear itself
for this transition or secure
new markets. The economic im
pact on a major population
center of Alaska could be disas
trous.
"Last year it was estimated
that the coal industry accounts
for 13 per cent of school sup
porting property taxes derived
from the Matauska Valley.

Machetanz Painting
Is Actively Sought
In the aftermath of the Fred
Machetanz art show last week,
Fainting 37, depicting an Es
kimo hunter and his dog team
on the shore of an empty sea,
is reported to be actively
sought by both a local Alaskan
social matron and the wife of
a Douglas Aircraft Co. execu
tive, now living in Santa Mon
ica, California.
The present owner of t h e
picture, Bertram Curry of
Palmer, purchased the Mach
etanz masterpiece during a
pre showing. Curry refuses
to confirm or deny that the
bidding for the blue sym
phony is reaching a reported
four figure mark.
Anyway, Curry says, the
wonderfully skilled and exe
cuted work is not for sale at
this time.
What seems to be attracting
the attention of the art con
noisseur is the drama inherent
in the lonely figure of the Es
kimo and his courageous stance
as he faces a snow-swept world
while at his back the silent,
empty sea broods under thund
ery blue clouds.

^ QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: If I have net
earnings from self-employ
ment which amount to $400 or
more, do I pay the social se
curity self-employment tax on
the entire net earnings?
ANSWER: Beginning with
1959, you report and pay the
social security tax on net earn
ings up to $4800 a year. If you
have self-employment net earn
ings from more than one occu
pation covered by the law,
your income from all of them
(up to $4800) is counted toward
old-age, survivors, and disabil
ity insurance benefits.
QUESTION: I was an em
ployee between January and
June 15th of last year. During
this time I was paid wages of
$3000. In June I started my own
business. How should I report
my self-employment income?
ANSWER: If your net earn
ings from self-employment are
$400 or more, you will pay the
self-employment income tax on
the first $1800 of your net
earnings which will br ng the
combined total of your wages
and self-employment income to
$4800.
QUESTION: I am an em
ployee of a nonprofit educa
tional organization and have
for several years reported my
wages on my tax return as
though I were self-employed. I
hear this is wrong. Can I get
credit for the wages for which
I have paid tax on?
ANSWER: If you and your
employer meet certain require
ments before April 10, 1962,
you can still obtain credit. It
is best you and your employer
call at your social security of
fice or at an office of the In
ternal Revenue Service.
Trap shooters Form
Local Association
Several interested trapshoot
ers of the valley area have
formed an organization to be
known as the Matanuska Val
ley Trap Shoot Association.
Officers have been named and
by-laws have been adopted.
A board of seven trustees
was elected at a meeting held
April 19 in the Elks club
lounge. They are: Harold Dunn,
Richard Demming, Leroy John
son, Charles Robinson, two
year terms; and Jan Koslosky,
Larry Kincaid and Howard P.
Campbell, one-year terms. El
ected officers include: Vincent
Hume, president; John Weldon,
vice-persident; and Carol C.
Christiansen, secretary-treasur
er.
A committee has been ap
pointed to acquire land where
the asociation will set up their
shooting area.
The next meeting of the as
sociation will be held tonight
in the Elks lounge. All persons
interested in trapshooting are
invited to attend, or make their
interest known to any of the of
ficers. The charter is still open,
but it has been indicated that
membership will be limited
and those interested in join ng
the association are urged to
either attend the meeting to
night, or contact a member of
the association.
When an individual realizes
he is putt.ng a solid financial
foundation under his home, his
family, and his children's pros
pects, buying Savings Bonds
become an extremely personal
thing.
