Seely. Welfare Celebreeze
Calls for Publication
Of Birth Control Report
WASHINGTON t/T — Secretary
of Welfare Anthony Celebreeze has
reversed Surgeon General Luther
Terry and called for publication
of a controversial birth control
report by the end of the year.
The survey of research in the
field of birth control and human
reproduction has been in prepara
tion by tlie Public Health Service
for some time.
Terry told newsmen Friday he
had decided not to publish the re
port in its present form because
hi felt it could be misunderstood
and misinterpreted.
Terry said then that the report
had been returned to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH> and,
while it was not dead, no one was
actively assigned to work on it.
Terry added that there was no
decision on when the report might
be issued.
Meanwhile, investigators for the
House Government Information
Subcommittee visited NIH. A
little later word came that the
parent Welfare Department had
decided the report should be is
sued.
Celebreeze said in his annunce
n.ent he had not seen the report
personally but had discussed it
with Terry.
Identification Made of
Air Crash Victims
ANCHORAGE UP — One of the
most extensive air searches ever
to be conducted in Alaska has come

bodies of Roger Waldron, 41, and
his son, Arthur Joseph, 16.
Positive identification was made

Two Lakes, about 140 miles west

Two members of the Alaska res
cue group removed the bodies from
the plane which had crashed and
burned in a rocky canyon not too

on July 29.
They had been the objects of a
gigantic air and ground search
ever since.

Alaskan Miners Arc
Active In Canada
Several former Alaskans are
reported to have transferred their
minim; ventures to Canada. The in- j
centives offered by the Canadian
government are greater. In Alaska,
with gold pegged at $35 an ounce,
the return is too small to meet
the high cost of labor, materials
and transportation.
In an interview with Paul Lien in
Jensen's Weekly, Fred Parker Jr.,
formerly of Fairbanks, said the
Canadians offered gold miners
$5.60 an ounce as a subsidy and
tax exemptions for the first three
years of operations.
“Most of the prospecting now is
for hard rock minerals, such as
gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and
asbestos,” Parker said. “After
prospecting is completed and
values are shown, the actual min
ing operations are usually taken
over by large mining companies in
Canada.”
Parker also pointed out the 8
per cent exchange value of Amer
ican money over Canadian, if the
funds are spent in Canada. If simi
lar mining incentives were estab
lished for Alaska, Parker predicted
a boom that would “far exceed
that of the war years.”
Soviets Issue Bomb
Warnings In Case of War
MOSCOW UP) — The Soviet
Union through its official army
newspaper, Red Star, declared
Saturday it would drop bombs up
to 100 megatons on bases in Eng
land, Germany, Japan or else

The story was accompanied by
a map of the world showing dis
tribution of U.S. bases, together
with their manpower potential.
A digest of the article was car
ried by the Soviet news agency
Tass in its foreign service but
made no mention of the threat of
bombing bases in allied countries.

A "Nifjlilmare**
JUNEAU t/P' — Mike Stepovich,
Republican candidate for governor,
aid Saturdav the administration
of Democratic Gov. Wm. Euan
"has turned our statehood dream
into a nightmare.”
Stepovich, making the keynote
speech at the Southeast Alaska
GOP Convention, said the Alaska
dream when statehood was at
tained was substantial population
increase, tremendous industrial ex
pansion and great public improve
ments with no additional tax bur
den.
But, Stepovich said, the dream
has not materialized.
Stepovich said taxes haw .one
up since statehood, there has been
no tremendous population expan
sion and Egan cannot “name one
large industry or new, major pay
roll that was planned and estab
lished in Alaska during his ad
ministration.”
Stepovich said he condemns “our
state administration on three all
important points.
administration in Alaska history
— it is squandering our oil income
and driving taxes up.
“Secondly, the Egan administra
tion has failed miserably in the
field <'.f promotion. We see no re
sults from vast sums of money
which have been spent by the state
to foster population increase, in
dustrial expansion and tour trade.
Our resources lie unused. Our
population growth lags, our pay
rolls increase only an insignificant
margin each year.
"Thirdly, the Egan administra
tion is so inefficient and com
pletely without direction, it is
unable to accomplish anything. For
four years it has fumbled with the
road program financed by state
hood grants. . . Take any other
field — road maintenance, public
improvements, ferries, schools or
anything else — the Egan record
of accomplishments is dismal. There
is always some reason why the
state can’t do it right, can't do it
on time, or can’t do it a1 all.”
Stepovich pledged an efficient
government geared to intense pro
motion of Alaska and administered
by the best minds in Alaska.
“I want Alaskan government by
Alaskans, ” he said. "I will not
conduct an administration that
imports employes of unknown
ability from other states — then
fires them as a cover-up a t poor
administration. . .
"We must bring about an on
mediate change in our state gov
ernment before it is too late. Con
tinued drifting, continued tax in
creases which discourage industry
and residents alike, continued
squandering of our state income,
could put Alaska in a plight that
would retard our growth for 25
years to come.”

Requests Fort Knox
Gold Stock Information
On the basis of a recent new.
story that a shipment of gold t ti
mated at $500 million in value
removed by federal officials fr<>m
the U.S. depositor: at Ft Km-x,
Sen. Ernest Grutenin:; ha.- a.-ke I
Secretary of til- Treasury. Dmig!a
Dillon the following questions: ■ 1'
What is the present slock of mid
held at the Ft. Knox depository?
*2* When will information be avail
able about the stuck of gold at
other places where it i. held for
United States or foreign account?
and 13' Will you please prepare
for publication in the Congression
al Record a tabulation of the
amounts of gold held in the Ft.
Knox depository since- the first
transfer of gold to that depository,
showing amounts at the end of
semi-annual periods in which
changes have occurred?
The news story speculation was
that the movement may have bad
some connection with the for. urn
drain on the United States, gold
supply. Sen. Gruelling said he
recognized that ‘‘publicity attendin'..;
gold movements within the coun
try must be timed to avoid cre
ating security problems,-’ but at
“this late date, those problems
would seem to have passed.”
Sometimes originality doesn't
pay. A girl showed up for a
bathing suit contest in a frogman’s
suit. She didn’t win.
