Sworn In as
Alaska’s Governor
JUNEAU (TP — Gov. Wm. Egnr
was sworn in today to sueceec
himself as Alaska’s first electee
governor.
The oath of office was adminis
tered by Superior Judge James
von dor TTcydt in brief ceremonies
at 9:30 a m. in the Superior Court
chambers in the Capitol Building
here.
Full scale inaugural ceremonies
or- planned for Jan. 26. the Sat
i;rdav before tb opening of the
k 'gislature.
In a short address following the
swearing-in, Egan told the packed
courtroom that the emphasis of his
second state administration would
be on building t e state’ • rich uo
b" 1,1 into wealth for its people
and more year-round pn-.uk —
inert.
At the same time, he hinted that
to ere would be a few changes in
the state’s top adminidrators.
‘•Today marks the beginning of
Alaska’s second state administra
tion, Egan said. “Because the
p< op’e of Alaska have returned me
to office, the philosophy of respon
sible and progressive purpose that
has guided the first state admin
istration will continue. Many of
the state’s principal administra
tors will remain in office.
“But, because of the passage of
time and the changing nature of
our task, the second state admin
istration will have a different em
phasis from the first.
“Four years ago we assumed
office confronted by the principal
job of organizing and implement
mg an effective state government
for Alaska.
“Today we assume office with
the major difficulties of the transi
tion behind us.
“Our principal task today is that
of encouraging the conversion of
Alaska’s rich potential into visible
wealth for Alaska and its people,
and in so doing, to change the
traditional pattern of summer con
struction-winter layoffs to one of
more year-round employment.
“It is a great task — one that
has been discussed at length by
each succeeding generation of
Alaskans since the purchase.
“During the next four years,
we shall dedicate ourselves toward
the proposition at a rate unpre
cedented in Alaska’s history. That [
the riches that lie within and on
our soil and waters shall be more
fully utilized. And that this
wealth shall benefit all who call
Alaska their home.
“There are few areas under the
American flag that have the po
tential for growth — for develop
ment — as Alaska. During the
next four years we shall strive
increasingly to see that this po
tential is utilized.”

day.
Asst. Secretary of Defense

IL-28’s were being dismantled at
the San Julian airfield on the
western tip of Cuba.
The last official figures on the
number of these nuclear-capable
bombers sent by the Russians into
wUba was more than 20. Reliable

n X Orders
jliijtiiit'iion to
Prevent Renewal of
Strike at Lockheed
WASHINGTON •,? — President
Kennedy directed the Justice Do
pe, rime-nl today to seek ; n injunc
tion to prevent renewal of a strike
ky the Machinists Union against
th- Lockheed Aircraft Corp.
Kennedy sent a letter to his
brother. Atty. Gen. Robert Ken
nedy, tolling him to seek an 80
day “cooling off” Taft-Hartley in
junction.
Kennedy said the str'ke against
Lockheed, “if permitted to recur
continue, will inuy ril the na
'ioral safety”
The President acted after re
ceiving the report of a three
member board of inquiry he
named last Wednesday to look
into the' dispute.
The board said the union se
curity issue “poses the stumbling
block obstructing a negotiated
settlement of this dispute.”
The machinists struck various
Lockheed plants for two days last
week, then sent its members back
to work pending the report of the
fact-finding board of inctuiry.
A Taft-Hartley injunction would
prevent resumption of the strike
for 80 days, during which the
board of inquiry would continue
with efforts to negotiate a settle
merit of the dispute.
The chief issue in the dispute
between Lockheed and the Ma
chinists is the union’s demand for
a union shop arrangement, requir
ing employes to be union members,
provided the workers approve the
idea by a two-thirds margin. Lock
heed has declined to permit such
a poll or be bound by its outcome.
Nehru Says Chinese
Have Thinned Out Units I
But Have Not Withdrawn j
NEW DELHI. India OP* — Prime j
ivnnisier i\enru told Parliament j
today the Chinese Communists
may have thinned out the advance
units of their invasion armies, but
they have not withdrawn them.
The Chinese reported their
troops had pulled back in at least
ane sector in partial fulfillment of
Peking’s one-sided cease-fire proc
amation. Indian sources reported
apparent withdrawal in another
;ector.
Nehru, however, told Parliament
:here were “signs of withdrawal
n the rear — in the front positions
;hcy might have been thinned out,
)ut have not withdrawn.”
He added that “the position is
■ather confused and therefore it
s not easy to make a precise
statement.”
Two members of Nehru’s cabinet
/owed an eventual resumption of1
•he battle rather than acceptance j
if Peking’s terms. India’s front- j
ine commanders took a gingerly
ipproach to the delicate situation.
