Egan Will Debate
Tonight With or
Without Stepovieh
ANCHORAGE W> — Gov. Wm.
Egan has reserved radio and tele
vision time for tonight for a de
bate with his Republiean opponent,
and says if his opponent, Mike
Stepovieh doesn’t appear, he’ll go
on alone. Speaking on television
Monday night, Egan said that he
had issued a debate challenge to
Stepovieh 11 weeks ago, and has
had no answer. He said he now
has reserved an hour’s time to be
simulcast by KTVA, KHAR, and
KNIK-FM for a debate, and all his
opponent has to do is show up.
“It won’t cost, him a cent,” he
said. He added: “If he continues
to remain in hiding, I will go on
with the program alone. I will
answer every one of the outlandish
charges he and his hatchet men
have made during this campaign.”
In a hard-hitting speech, Egan
also said that his opponent was
making claims that “simply are not
true.” He said: “For more than two
decades I have been running for
public office in Alaska. But I
don't recall ever being involved in
an election campaign where my
opponent has had as little regard
for the truth as the one I’m en
gaged in right now.”
He said that Stepovieh claims
the state had no debt when he
left office, but, Egan said, did
have an employment security fund
debt and general obligation bond
debt. He said that Stepovieh claims
a $12 million unobligated surplus
at the end of his term, but it was
really less than half that amount.
Egan also said if he had used
“Stepovieh arithmetic” in figur
ing a balance at the end of the
current fiscal year, it would not
be $24 millions as it is, but it
would have been about $60 million.
U.S. Touches Off 34th
Nuclear Blast In Pacific
WASHINGTON UP) — The Unit
ed States set off a nuclear test
blast in the atmosphere Tuesday in
the Pacific Ocean area near John
ston Island, the Atomic Energy
Commission announced.
The newest U.S. blast followed
three test explosions which the
AEC said Russia fired over its
own territory during the weekend.
Tuesday’s test device, dropped
from an airplane, was in the mega
ton yield range, meaning it had a
blast equivalent to that of about
a million tons of TNT.
It was the 34th announced U.S.
test in the current series in the
Pacific.
The Russian tests brought to 25
the number disclosed by the AEC
in that country’s current series.

Queen Elizabeth Laughs
Out Loud as Boh Hope
Satarizes Kennedys
LONDON (J*1 — “We don’t have
; titles in the United States,” said
l Bob Hope Monday night, his eyes
j studiously avoiding the royal box
| at the Palladium.
A faint smile flickered over
Queen Elizabeth’s face.
“No, sir,” Hope continued, “In
America we have just two classes
—the people and the Kennedys.”
The Queen glanced at her hus
band, Prince Philip, and smiled.
“And there are more Kennedys
than people,” Hope continued after
the laughter subsick'd.
Elizabeth threw her head back
and laughed out loud.
The occasion was the Annual
Royal Variety Performance which
raised $126,000 for the Variety
Artistes Benevolent Fund.
The Queen appeared just as
amused when Hope said:
“President Kennedy’s from Mas
sachusetts, you know. He’s going
to split in two parts—high mass
and low mass.”
Critic Fergus Cushin commented
in the Daily Sketch:
“Why was the Queen given the
opportunity to throw back her
head and laugh happily at jokes
about the Kennedy family?
“Is there some hope here for the
future of satire in our theaters?”
Jokes about the royal family
are banned from the British stage.

jU.S. Will Make Study
To End All Studies
On Effects of Tobacco
WASHINGTON i/P The gov
ernment has taken final action
aimed at starting a broad new study
by non-biased scientists on the
! controversy over whether tobacco
j smoking has adverse health effects
| such as lung cancer.
Surgeon General Luther Terry
announced the membership of a
10-man advisory committee on
smoking and health and said it
would meet Nov. 9-10 in Wash
ington.
The committee, selected by the
Surgeon General from a list of ap
proximately 150 names submitted
to the Public Health Service by
federal agencies, voluntary health
organizations and the tobacco in
dustry, has a two-fold mission:
1. To make a "compre en.-ive
review of all available data on
smoking and other factors in the
environment that may affect
health” — a study expected t.j last
about six months.
2. To make recommendations for
action at the completion of the
study.
Terry, in announcing plans for
setting up the committee several
months ago, said no scientist who
already had taken a strong public
position — pro or con — on
smoking and lung cancer contro
versy would be named to the
panel.

Prime Minister MacMillan
Says U.S. Prevented
“Kind of Super Munich"
LONDON (.4*1 Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan said Tuesday the
firmness of the United States and
its Western allies in the Cuba
crisis prevented “a kind of super
Munich."
Any wavering in Washington or
other Western capitals, MacMillan
told the House of Commons,
“might easily have led to the col
lapse of the defense of the free
world.”
Then, putting in a call for East
West negotiations, MacMillan said:
“The world has had a shock. ;
We have been very near the edge. 1
“Let us see whether we cannot,
after what we have been through,
find a new determination to re
solve the problems from which the 1
world is suffering.”
MacMillan spoke to the House 1
of Commons after Queen Elizabeth
II opened a new session of Parlia
ment with the traditional speech
from the throne to the House of
Lords. The speech was written by
MacMillan.
The Queen stressed the desire !
of the British government to en
gage in a new effort to reach gen
eral disarmament and a suspen
sion of nuclear weapons tests un

Alaska Can’t Afford
$150,000,000 Luxury
Of A New Capital
THIS IS WHAT
ALASKANS HAVE SAID
B. FRANK HEINTZLEMAN,
Former Governor:
“Even the proposal to move the Capital
is damaging. It creates concern among
prospective industrialists and invest
ment firms as to the fiscal responsibility
and future tax demands of our new
state. We will be far better off by devot
ing any funds that can be spared from
our more routine public services to
doing the things which will promote
resource use."
GOV. WILLIAM A. EGAN:
“I cannot encourage a move to de
vastate the economy of one of our
cities — an action that would most
certainly cause a permanent breach in
our great State. As Governor of all
Alaska, I cannot, in good conscience,
go along with the canipaign to move
the Capital.”
MIKE STEPOVICH.
Former Governor:
“I believe the Capital should remain
at Juneau. 1 can't think of the State
expending the large amount of money
which would be required moving the
Capital when those funds are so badly
needed for other worthwhile purposes.”
JOHN BUTROVICH.
Long-time Territorial Legislator:
"I am unalterably opposed to moving
the Capital. We need ail of our funds
for necessary programs . . . schools,
highways, health and welfare, mental
health hospital, E.S.C.. ferry systems,
airports, fisheries rehabilitation and just
the plain everyday operation of the
HIGHER TAXES-MORE DEBT
The proposal to move the State Capital from Juneau looms as
the greatest economic blunder in Alaska history. The probable
cost for an airport alone (needed to serve the remote proposed
site — at least 60 miles from Anchorage) is $10,000,000. The most
conservative estimate on the cost to the State of the project is
$150,000,000 . . . about five million dollars more than the min*
imum funds to be required by the State of Alaska in order to
build desperately needed schools, hospitals, roads and other
public works. Alaska can t have her cake and eat it. too. A
totally unnecessary capital move at this time means more taxes,
greater indebtedness, loss of important public works projects.
Alaskans voted “NO" two years ago for these very same reasons.

Initiative No. 1, November 6.
