Candidates Have Their
Say Hoi ere f)eii**fates of
Leu«ai'‘ <. Alaska Cities
HAINES .1 - ir of the , ix
major candidate. socking of fa .• ii
the Nov. fi general c lection had
their say before delegates to the
League of Alaskan Cities Conven
tion here Friday.
lien. Ralph Rivers, who will
face GOP Lowell Thomas Jr.
in the U.S. Mouse race next month,
told the League the present Alaska
congressional delegation has been
instrumental in the passage of 40
bills and amendments favorable to
Alaska during the past four years
Rivers said Thomas had neither
the Alaska residency nor the gov
ernmental experience to represent
the state adequately in Congress.
Thomas referred to Rivers as the
“invisible man.” He said Rivers
has provided “us with a number of
hollow box, vote-seeking bills—
such as authorization not appropri
ation for both Snettisham and
Bradley Lake.”
U.S. Sen. Ernest Gruening told
the delegates that he, as a terri
torial governor, had boosted legis
lation beneficial to Alaska’s cities.
Gruening also said that as a
senator he backed the Area Re
development Administration bill,
which he said has been of great aid
to Alaskan cities.
Ted Stevens, Gruening’s GOP
opponent, said that running
against Gruening is akin to being
a “participant in a shell game, no
one knows where he is or where
he’s going to be.
“My opponent claims that my
proposal for the consideration of
cost of living indices in the com
putation of federal income taxes
is unconstitutional. That is not so.
It would be constitutional because
it would affect all states,”
No Comment . . .
MIAMI, Fla. i/Pi — It is anti
Castro business as usual with the
Cuban Revolutionary Council, prin
cipal leader of Miami’s Cuban ex
ile colony.
The council, organizers of last
year’s unsuccessful invasion of
Cuba, refused to comment on So
viet Premier Khrushchev’s an
nouncement that he would crate
up Soviet missiles now in Cuba.
Jose Miro Cardona, council pres
ident, said: “The council is con
tinuing its struggle for the over
throw of the Communist dictator
ship. We are on the threshold of
great events.”
One exile leader, Luis Aguero,
said “internationally, the victory
may belong to President Kennedy.
But in reality, Communism will re
main in Cuba unless the United
States persists in moving against
Castro.”
The council proceeded with plans
to create a “Cuban army of libera
tion” manned with refugees being
trained in Spanish-speaking units
of the U.S. armed forces.
In Hong Kong, a common high
way hazard is the superstitious
Chinese peasant who dashes in
front of a car hoping it will miss
him but hit and destroy the evil
spirits pursuing him. If it does, he
figures he’ll be lucky for life.
