Charges Demos
I se State Funds
For Campaigning
McGRATH (T — state Rep. Don
Harris, (R-McGrath', charged Mon
day night that a state official has
spent some $3,000 in state funds
in "an outright campaign tour for
the Democratic party on the Yu
kon. Koyukuk and Kuskokwim
Rivers.”
Harris, in a statement, identified
the state official as Robert (Tex'
Hoffman, State Director of Rural
Development, who administers the
state’s depressed area program.
Hoffman, Harris charged, has
spent the money during a three
week tour of native villages to dis
pense funds under the Aid to De
pressed Areas program.
"Friends of mine on various vil
lage councils in these river areas
have told me that he (Hoffman'
;s trying to get me defeated as a
Republican representative from
this area and that he is campaign
ing on behalf of Gov. Wm. Egan,"
Harris said.
"Members of the village councils
have told me that Mr. Hoffman
informed them that this money
was made available by the Demo
crats and they cannot expect such
aid in the future unless they sup
port Democrats in the forthcoming
election.
"I am in favor of assistance for
our native people, but I am not in
favor of using these funds for po
litical purposes."
Harris, a veteran member of the
!o '.islature and ranking Republican
on the House Finance Committee,
is matched against Democratic Ren.
Grant Pearson of Nenana in the
Nov. 6 general election in Dist.
No. 15.
Hoffman could not be reached
for comment, but Egan’s office re
leased a statement issued by Pear
son in which Pearson said he had
recently returned from a 16-day
campaign trip and met Hoffman
only once, in Aniak.
"He was there for about four
tours and devoted himself entire
[v to depressed area business,”
Pearson was quoted as saying.
‘Any attempt to indicate other- i
wise is just outright misrepre
sentation.
‘‘I was the one campaigning
'gainst Don Harris. I was the one
who told village councils that Har
ds’ record doesn’t merit the sup
port of (ho people in rural areas
and that it is only because of the
Democrats that there is any kind
of a rural development program.
"Almost to a man the Republi
cans voted against this program
in the last legislature,” Pearson
was quoted as saying.

Nixon Forsees
Viifory in the Air
SAN FRANCISCO UP) — Rich
nnl Nixon, cheered by former |
President Dwight Eisenhower’s '
all-out endorsement, says “the big
push is on” in his campaign for (
governor.
Nixon told fund-raising dinners j
in four cities Monday night that ;
he failed by an eyelash in the 1960
Presidential race, but: "I am tell
ing you now there is victory in the
air.”
The dinners in San Francisco,
Los Angeles, San Bernardino and
Bakersfield -— linked by closed
circuit television — raised an esti
mated $560,000 for the Republican
state campaign.
Eisenhower, speaking at the San
Francisco Cow Palace, mixed a
few jabs at President Kennedy
with glowing words for Nixon's
bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Ed
mund Brown Nov. 6.
”1 endorse him 100 per cent,”
he said of his former Vice Presi
dent.
Eisenhower urged Nixon sup
porters not to make the same mis
take he said he made two years
ago in not working harder for
Nixon’s election as President.
”1 urge those who believe in i
Dick Nixon as I do,” he said, “to !
get up, get out and get going for \
him through every possible hour j
from now until election day.”
Eisenhower received a tumultu- j
ous reception in San Francisco. 1
Brown’s home town. Police esti
mated 120.000 people lined V e 13- j
block route of the motorcade run
ning through the financial dis- |
trie! during the noon hour. Nixon I
and Mayor George Christopher,
Republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor, rode with him.

sperm whale under 35 feet long,

High School Girl to Be
Expelled for Refusing to
Wear Bloomer-Type Shorts
AKRON, Ohio </P — Judy Rue
Bushong, who feels exposing hei
knees in gym elass is immoral, was
given one week to appear in
bloomer-type shorts the other girls
wear or face permanent expulsion
from high school.
School officials said the girl and
her parents would be notified of
the deadline in a registered letter.
Soon after the township school
board voted unanimously to order
Judy expelled if she doesn’t com
ply, the 17-year-old girl said she
would never agree to wear shorts
because of her religious convic
tions.
Her father, the Rev. Herbert
Bushong, an ordained minister
and part-time pastor at the non
denomi national Church of Soul's
Harbor in Waynesburg, near Can
ton, said: "I pay taxes that go to
support the school and my daugh
ter should be allowed to attend.
Why should T have to pay tuition
and transportation for her to go
elsewhere?”
The girl was suspended from
Springfield Township High School
Sept 2J. Her father said she
could wear either slacks or pedal
pushers in gym classes. This didn't
satisfy school officials.
The suspension first was or
dered by James Stone, high school
principal. He was supported by
Supt. Charles Rieger.
"A passage in the state code says
religious beliefs of parents are not
sufficient ground for excuse from
reasonable regulations of boards of
education or requirements of
school authorities on what type
of clothing shall be worn when
taking classes,” Rieger said.
If scientists built an electronic
computer as complex as the hu
man brain, it would have up to 15
billion tubes.
