Fired for Printed Attacks
On Sen. Barry Goldwater
BOULDER. Colo, l/Pt — The
editor of the University of Colo
rado's student daily newspaper,
who printed attacks on Sen. Barry
Goldwater, (R-Ariz.\ and former
President Dwight Eisenhower, was
fired by the University president
Wednesday.
In announcing the dismissal of
Gary Althen, 21, a senior, presi
dent Quigg Newton said the editor
“had displayed a pattern of edi
torial irresponsibility that required
his removal.”
“I’m not sure this is in the best 1
interests of the university,” said
Althen.
Both Newton and Althen had
apologized to Sen. Barry Gold- ;
water for publication of a critical
article written by Carl Mitcham,
21, a philosophy student from Dal
las, Tex.
After Althen was warned by
university officials to exercise bet
ter judgment, he wrote an editorial
advocating admission of Commu
nist China to the United Nations.

‘-Liberty
Amendment”
Gains Momentum
KETCHIKAN — Support for the
“Liberty Amendment” to the Unit
ed State Constitution is gaining
momentum nationwide according
to Carl Porter, former president
of the Ketchikan Chamber of Com
merce. a n d Harold Newman,
chairman of the Alaska Committee
for Economic Freedom.
They recently attended the con
vention in Chicago of the National
Committee for Economic Freedom.
This is the organization which
j sponsors the Liberty Amendment
now pending in Congress as H. J.
R. 23. introduced by Rep. James
i Utt of California on January 10.
I 1961.
Roth Porter and Newman said
they were impressed at the con
vention not only by the leaders of
this nation-wide movement, but
also the far reaching effects of en
: actment of the Liberty Amend
ment, as outlined at the conven
| tion.
According to Porter and New
man. the number one question
asked by most people when they
learn that the Liberty Amendment
will abolish the federal personal
income tax is “How can the fed
eral government operate without
revenues from the federal per
sonal income tax'.”'
The National Committee for
Economic Freedom has compiled
a mass of evidence to support their
contention that government spend
ing can and must be reduced be
fore any tax cut can possibly be
considered.
The evidence compiled further
indicates Porter and Newman said,
that Section One of the Liberty
Amendment will so reduce the costs
of federal government that income,
estate and or gift taxes can safely j
be abolished. The evidence further
indicates the federal government
would have more than S8 billion ,
as surplus to provide for addi- I
tional, constitutionally - authorized
national defense.
The work program at the Chi
I cago convention was composed of
six panels to outline problems and
; seek solutions for securing the pas
sage of resolutions for the Liberty
Amendment in the required two
thirds of the states.
Brochures, books, films and tapes
were reviewed, at the convention,
which support the Liberty Amend
ment. Some of this material is
now available.
Committees have been organized
; in nearly every state to support
j the Libert}^ Amendment. Accord
ing to information received at the
| Chicago convention, favorable ac
I tion is expected in a number of
| additional states during the next [
legislative sessions. Newman has
been assured that a resolution for
the Liberty Amendment will be
introduced here in Alaska at the
next legislative session.

Stepovich Says He Does
Not Plan Wholesale Firing
Of Employes If Elected
.JUNEAU (j* — Mike Stepovich,
Republican candidate for gover
nor, Thursday night termed un
true rumors that, if elected, he
plans to fire a large number of
state employes.
In a television speech in the
capital city, Stepovich said he will
replace heads and other top state
administrators who are political
appointees and who are not in the
exempt or partially exempt serv
ice.
Stepovich said he will not re
place employes in the classified
service because, as he put it, they
are persons with the actual know
how and experience in state gov
vernment.
To fire any of these people,
Stepovich said, would be inviting
paralysis of state government.
Any cut in the number of state
employes, Stepovich said, would
be handled through normal turn
i over by simply not filling jobs
, which become vacant.
Stepovich pledged to overhaul
; the state personnel classification
plan to make it possible for the
employment of more Alaskans by
state agencies when jobs are
available.
