SI X. HOW \RO PO! LOCK
( AMPAKiXS IX XOM!
Son. Howard Pollock, in a talk
for Nomcitcs given Friday noon
at the North Star, referred to the
new state as a monstrous empire
having grown from TOO employes
to over 4,000 in the few years of
stnVhood and its budget from $18
million to $80 million and deplored
the need of sound business basis
being needed, as Alaska is “on
the wrong track’’ and has “over
sized government.’’
He called attention to the fact
that there are nine candidates for
the office of governor which is a
healthy sign that Alaska wants a
change and that deficit spending
must stop if there is to be econ
omical survival. He eritized the
use of the oil money for every
day state housekeeping and stated
that it should have been used for
capital development only.
One of the pledges made to the
people of this area was his plan
to get reduced group rates on
planes and buses for off-season
tours as is done in other parts of
the states and also for foreign
travel.
Pollock and his financial mana
ger. Jack Simpson, left Friday to
continue their campaigning in this
division.

Ralph Seward, Asst. District
Manager from Juneau will be in
Nome Thursday. July 20, He will

security, lie will be at the Post
Office in Kotzebue. Tuesday after

Mr. Seward points out that about
a million workers over 65 do not
realize that they are eligible to re
ceive social security benefits.
Mr. Seward cited the case of a
Nome man who has averaged
$1,800 in annual income since 1950.
He is eligible to receive about S73
a month in social security pay
ments. However, because he is
continuing to work in his regular
job after his 65th birthday, he
thinks he cannot receive any pay
ments. Actually, this man could
get a total of S526 if he applied
for it.

flag bearers and guards.

went swimming. After we swam
we went up and ate.

popcorn. When we finished we
had our flag lowering ceremony.
Carolyn Reader — The things
we did: haul water (ugh!', cooked,
swam, had the Brownies for
lunch.
Most of us liked swimming the
best. Some learned to float. We
swam like half between a dog
paddle and swimming.
Patty Petrivelli — Wednesday
we went out to Girl Scout Camp
and went swimming. Some of us
made pictures and some of us
made things out of balloons.
Thursday the Fly-Ups got up at
3:30 and had pancakes for break
fast then they went swimming
again.
The Brownies came and had
lunch, they they had a treasure

EGYPTIANS TEST-FIRE
SINGLE-STAGE ROCKETS
CAIRO (A*) — President Gamal
Abdel Nasser Saturday watched
the Egyptian armed forces test and
fire four single-stage rockets from
an unnamed base in the western
desert, two of them capable of
reaching Israel.
The rockets are in large-scale
production and are entriely made in
the United Arab Republic, Nasser
told newsmen half an hour after
the fourth missile had vanished in
clouds thousands of feet above the
desert.
The only military significance of
the rockets is contained in the
range that they reach, said Nas
ser, who said two could land just
south of Beirut — apparently
meaning Israel.
The rockets, named El Kaher
(Conqueror' and El Zafir (Vic
torious), were launched two days
before the 10th anniversary of
Nasser’s revolution in Egypt.
Range of the Kaher was given
as about 360 miles and the smaller
Zahir was said to be capable of
flying 222 miles.
UPGRADED TO 59 MILES
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. UR — The X-15 rocket plane
altitude record set last Tuesday
has been upgraded from 310,000
feet to 314,750, more than 59 miles.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Adiminstration said Friday
that final computations showed the
pilot, Air Force Maj. Robert White,
rose higher than originally reck
oned.
