I he senator stated he has re
ceived assurance that the Depart
ment of the Interior will develop!
such a project.
Legislation to provide natural
gas to Barrow residents passed
the last session of Congress.
"It would be virtually impos- j
sible if not dangerous to supply i
gas to the Barrow community un- i
less there is a complete change in
the housing situation,” Gruening i
said.
"The houses are mostly very j
miserable, irregularly scattered
and not suitable for the introduc
tion of gas, which is made through
pipes approximately three inches
in diameter—pipes which cannot
be twisted and turned as one
would a telephone wire.
“It is essential,” he said, ‘‘that
the entire village be rehoused,
either by relocation or bv removal
of the better houses to a new loca- I
tion and the construction of new I
houses. This would involve the!
laying of streets, individual own- [
ership of plots, and adequate fac- j
ilities in the way of sewer and i
water.
“I communicated this view to
Interior Secretary Udall as well as
to the Administrator of Federal
Housing,” Sen. Gruening said.
“Both expressed their sympathy
and interest. I am now informed
that the Secretary of the Interior
has given assurance that the De
partment of the Interior will de
velop such a project for Barrow.”
“Otherwise,” he added, ‘‘the in
troduction of gas would be dan
gerous. Inadequate installations
might cause a widespread conflag
ration through explosions.”
The senator added he believed
that Barrow, as a far north tourist
attraction should be a model vil

i'n kient Dwight Eisenhower ap
-ealed lo Americans last night to
make whatever p< rsonal sacrifices
are necessary in the Cuban crisis,
then he ripped into the Kennedy
administration on domestic issues.
"Until this urgent problem
'Cuba* is, solved to the satisfaction
«-f our nation," the two-time Re
publican President said, “every
loyal American will, without hesi
tation, carry out and conform to
any instructions, pertaining to it,
proclaimed by the Commander in
Chief."
Eisenhower, speaking before a
packed crowd of some 17,000 at a
GOP3 rally in Pittsburgh’s Civic
Arena, called upon his countrymen
for "visible and genuine unity” in
face of international dangers.
After referring to the Cuban
situation, Eisenhower swung into
an attack on the administration’s
domestic policy. He said the 21
months of the Kennedy administra
tion has braked the economy and
paved the way to continued un
employment and deficit spending.

U.S. SENATOR
STEVENS
IS A
REPUBLICAN
Who Believes that the Greatness of America
Is Based on the Resourcefulness, the Honesty,
and the Initiative of the American Peonle
-LOOK
At some of the things Ted has said during the campaign
PIONEERS FOR PROGRESS
The Peace Corps concept should be
extended to Alaska to Help train
Native Alaskans to perform the jobs
that need to be done here—building
highways, houses, and defense in
stallations, and operating the large
equipment that has been constructed.
EDUCATION
The federal government should pro
vide grants for public school class
room construction and loans to
private and parochial schools for
classroom construction. Present law
provides partial forgiveness of stu
dent loans for those who later teach
in public elementary and secondary
schools. This should be extended to
include teachers for elementary, sec
ondary and college level, whether
private or public.
CIVIL RIGHTS
Stevens says, “Every American must
be absolutely guaranteed the right
to vote and the right to equal edu
cational opportunities. All Americans
must enjoy equal job opportunities
and be able to live where their
hearts desire and their means permit.
Every American should have equal
opportunity of public employment
and equal access to public facilities.
CUBA
I believe the people in this state are
opposed to the Castro government,
and that this opposition should be
stated through their U.S. Senator.
As your Senator, I will take a strong
stand against Communist Cuba and
will not advocate a "Stand - Pat"
policy.
ALASKA RAILROAD
The federal government should in
vestigate the possibility of turning
the Alaska Railroad over to private
enterprise and offer federal lands
as an incentive. This was the policy
that built the western states.
POWER
The immediate power demands of
Alaska should be met through utili
zation of our coal, gas, oil, nuclear
energy and hydroelectric resources.
Generation and transmission grids
should be constructed to connect
power facilities and areas within
Alaska.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Social security and civil service re
tirement law's should be amended so
that these retirement payments will
recognize the high cost of living
in Alaska.
