Vlore Votes In Recount
JUNEAU tffl — Results of a com
plete recount of Alaska’s guberna
torial balloting announced Satur
day increased the victory margin
of Democratic Gov. Wm. Egan and
Secretary of State Hugh Wade by
29 votes over their Republican
opponents Mike Stepovich and
Robert Ross of Anchorage.
Final returns gave Egan and
Wade 29,627 votes compared to
27,054 votes for Stepovich and
Ross.
The complete recount results
showed candidates of both parties
losing votes from the totals an
nounced at the official canvass of
the Nov. 6 balloting. The total
count for Gov. Egan and Secretary
Wade was reduced by 25 votes,
that for Stepovich and Ross by 54.
In asking for the recount Re
publicans had said they did not ex
pect to alter the result of the
statewide race but hoped to show
need for pre-registration and other
Election Code revisions.
State Elections Director Jack
McFarland said the cost of the re
count will run in excess of the
$2,000 posted by the Republicans.
McFarland declared: “The re
sults show conclusively that the
recount not only was unnecessary
but a wasteful expenditure of time
and money.”

Two Stairs Have
Finally Chosen
Their Governors
i
WASHINGTON t/P — Two state;
have finally chosen governors
more than three weeks after tht
| Nov. (i election. But the winners
j slender victory margins could be
overturned in recounts.
Rhode Island became the latest
! state to pick a winner when, early
' today, absentee ballots gave the
! nod to Republican John Chafec
over Democratic Gov. John Notte
Jr. who sought a second two-year
term. The final unofficial count
put Chafee ahead by 398 votes.
There was no immediate word
Notte would seek a recount.
But in another close guberna
i torial election — in Minnesota —
; attorneys for Lt. Gov. Karl Rol
j vagg. a Democrat, were preparing
; recount petitions. They have 10
; days in which to challenge the
| State Canvassing Board official
certification Thursday of Repub
lican Gov. Elmer Andersen as
winner of another term.
The board acted on the order of
the Minnesota Supreme Court
which held that the board must
count revised figures from 10 of
the state’s 87 counties. Those fig
ures gave Andersen a 142-vote
HUUUUl LIU.' ICVlMUIli), ru.ll
vagg would have won by 58 votes.
Recounts proceeded today in
three other states.
Maine’s turtle - speed recount
produced no significant definite
changes in the 621-vote lead Re
publican Gov. John Reed had built
up over Democratic challenger
Maynard Dolloff, but more than
2,000 challenged ballots obscured
the actual outcome. Officials esti
mated the re-tally might last until
I near Christmas, only a little over
i a week before inauguration day
i Jan. 3.
j With one-third of Massachu
settes’ 2,011 precincts recounted
I through Thursday, Democrat Endi
| cott Peabody has picked up a net
I of 689 votes and upped his unof
I ficial lead over Republican Gov.
| John Volpe, bidding for a second
term, to 3,780 votes.
In South Dakota, Democrat
George McGovern advanced to a
481-vote lead as 50 of the state’s
; 67 counties completel a recount
Thursday in his Senate battle with
Republican Sen. Joe Bottum. Mc
Govern held a slim lead after the
first count and it had slowly
widened during the recount.
Chafee. a State Representative,
became the only Republican to
win a major state office in Rhode
Island with his victory.

Most of what they saw was over

After several more years of de

j Cascade of Silver Dollars
Kills Price of Rare Coins
NEW YORK l/P — A cascade of
rare silver dollars has knocked
the price of certain coins from
$2,000 to $25 in four days.
Coin dealers are perplexed. A
spokesman for the Federal Mint
says a dollar’s a dollar.
The most spectacular drop was
in the 1903 “O” dollar, minted in
New Orleans in 1903.
Emmanuel Strauss, head of the
Numismatic Co. said rumors indi
cated a flood of the coins reached
the market after the closing of the
Seattle World’s Fair. Coins had
been exhibited there.
Another dealer suggested the
coins had been released by a fed
eral reserve bank, perhaps in
Philadelphia.

' ANB and Jayeees arc City
League Winners Friday
ANB picked up their first cage
j victory of the season at the ex
i pense of the Nanooks, and the
potent Jayeees powered their way
| over the winless Merchants in their
! half of a double bill Friday night,
j Leading the assault on the Mer
■ chants were Gary Beaty, Harold
; Bell, and George Kost all scoring
j in double figures. B. Oman count
i ered with 15 points for the losers,
! but didn’t get enough scoring
punch from his teammates.
The Jayeees had a commanding
26-5 lead at the midpoint, and
coasted to a 56-31 victory in the
prelim. Both teams picked up 49
rebounds.
In the action-packed ANB-Na
nook tilt the ANB outlasted their
high school opponents with a last
ditch surge that netted them a
41-29 verdict. Despite the 12-point
spread the Nanooks were in the
game until the last three min
utes of the contest. Steffen Ander
sen was a demon on the back
board, getting 14 rebounds.
The first half was nip and tuck
with the NHS tucking a 22-20 lead
to the locker room. The second
half was a different story with
nlav being more ragged. The Na
nooks dogged ANB, but after the
third quarter hit a scoring drought
and couldn’t catch their fired-up
opponents.
