Turnagain Arm
Crossing Stirs Up
Flurry in Senate
JUNEAU Uft — A concurrent
resolution asking the Department
of Public Works to attempt tc
place any Turnagain Arm cross
ing on the federal aid highway
system stirred up a flurry of de
bate in the Senate Monday.
Before passing by a 12-3 count,
the resolution survived motions
to table it and to postpone action
on it indefinitely.
Sen. Howard Pollock started
off the debate by referring to the
resolution as “political hogwash.”
Before he could go any further,
he was cautioned by Senate Pres
ident Frank Peratrovich to re
frain from such statements and
confine his remarks to the reso
lution itself.
Pollock said he could not talk
about the resolution without say
ing that in his opinion it was
politically-motivated.
Sen. Lester Bronson one of the
sponsors, said it was not politic
ally-motivated legislation, but an
attempt to speed construction of a
Turnagain Arm crossing.
Sen. Brad Phillips said the re
solution was unnecessary, that it
would be automatic for Public
Works to attempt to place a
crossing on the federal road sys
tem, so federal matching funds
could be used.
Phillips noted that Gov. Wm.
Egan has asked for $300',000 for a
feasibility study of Turnagain
Arm crossing, then added:
“It might well turn out that
this study might indicate that a
crossing is not feasible.”
Sen. Vance Phillips said the re
solution was a companion meas
ure to a bill introduced by Bron
son and Sen. Howard Bradshaw
which would authorize a vote on
a proposed $10 million bond issue
to finance the crossing.
“This figure must have been
pulled out of the hat,” Phillips
said. “The estimated costs on the
crossing now are $40 million or
more.”
Bronson said the $10 million
would merely provide state
matching money for federal funds.
On final passage, only Pollock
and Sens. Elton Engstrom and
Paul Greimann Sr. voted against
the resolution.

Program to Cure Ills of Boxing
SAN JOSE, Calif. UB — (Rocky
Marciano has a four-point pro
gram he thinks could help cure
the ills of boxing in the United
States.

form rules in every state, a bet
ter withholding tax plan for
boxers, government subsidy to
help develop young fighters and
insurance and pension protection
for boxers.
Marciano, who retired unde
feated, told a reporter he thinks
the sport could be on the upgrade
two years after a commissioner
is named.
NASA TO CONSIDER CIVILIAN
PILOTS FOR SPACE FLIGHTS
WASHINGTON UP) — Qualified
civilian test pilots will be con
sidered for future space flights,
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration says.
A spokesman for NASA said
yesterday that it will be possible
to add civilian test pilots because
the crews for future projects, such
as the two-man Gemini and the
three-man Apollo, can be chosen
at a more leisurely pace.
U.S. FIRES NO. 19
WASHINGTON UP) — The
Atomic Energy Commission has
fired another underground shot
of low yield at its Nevada test
site. Low yield is the equivalent
of about 20,000 tons of TNT. Mon
day’s shot was the 19th announced
in the current series.
SHARPEYED AIDE . . .
ATLANTA UP) — Georgia might
have had the fastest moving auto
traffic in the world except for a
sharp-eyed legal aide to Gov.
Ernest Vandiver.
The legislature passed a bill to
increase the speed limit on super
highways from 60 to 70 miles per
hour. That was all right. But
through error the bill also said
that any speed slower than 60 on
other highways or slower than
35 in cities would be unlawful.
Vandiver vetoed the bill.
TUNED UP TOO WELL! . . .
LEBANON, Ind. UP)—Mechanic
Justice of the Peace Joe Cooper
got motorist James Darnall
coming and going.
Darnall told mechanic Cooper
his car was sluggish and lacked
“get up and go.” Cooper tuned
it up — possibly too well. A little
later Darnall came back to Jus
tice Cooper with a speeding
ticket.
Cooper fined Darnall $18.75 for
speeding. He didn’t say what the
tuneup bill would be.

I BOB KENNEDY ACCUSED
OF FLAYING POKER
WITH FATE OF PAPUANS
HOLLANDIA, W. New Guinea
Wi — Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy
was accused Tuesday by eight na
tive leaders of trying to play
poker with the fate of the Papuans
to appease a dictator — President
Sukarno of Indonesia. They
cabled a protest to President Ken
nedy, brother of Robert.
The eight are Papuans, the in
digenous people of this disputed
island, and all are members of
the New Guinea Council set up by
the Dutch as a training ground for
self-rule.
Their ire was directed at the
Attorney General’s statements
made on TV Sunday summing up
his world tour, which included a
stopover in Indonesia to discuss
Sukarno’s claims to West New
Guinea.
Assailing his statement on the
backwardness of the Papuan
people and the lack of trained
workers, the cable said independ
ence and democracy “can bo
understood and practiced by com
mon people even if they have not
seen Harvard.”
“Robert Kennedy’s humiliating
statements apparently indicate an
advice to Indonesia to eradicate
the Papuan people just like in
history other people have almost
been eradicated because they
were so backward as not to know
shotguns and firewater,” it said.
