Expect Minimum of II New Faces
In State House of Representatives
By Ward Sims
Associated Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU U’l — There will be a
minimum of 14 new laces in the
40-seat State House of Repre
sentatives when the third state
legislature meets for its first ses
sion next Jan. 28.
Five of the men who served
in the second legislature decided
against running -for re-election,
four are seeking promotion to the
State Senate, one is running for
the U.S. House of Representatives ;
and at least four will be trimmed i
by the realities of reapportion
ment.
The five who decided to bow
out are John S. Hellenthal of An
chorage, Leo Rhode of Homer, Fr. j
Segundo Llorente of Alakanuk, |
William M. Erwin of Seward and |
Frank Chapados of Fairbanks. All
but Rhode are Democrats.
Hellenthal, Chapados and Erwin
all held extremely important com- j
mittec chairmanships during the
second state legislature.
Chapados was the highly re- |
speeded chairman of the House :
Finance Committee. Hellenthal, J
one of only two lawyers in the j
lower chamber, was chairman of
the Judiciary Committee and i
Erwin headed the important House
Rules Committee.
Trying for State Senate seats !
are Alfred Widmark, Klawock Re- j
publican; R.W. Stratton Jr., Spen- j
ard Republican; Harold Z. Hansen, '
Cordova Democrat; and John Nu- 1
sunginya, Barrow Democrat.
Henry S. Pratt, Anchorage, is
seeking the Republican nomina- 1
tion for the U.S. House of Repre
sentatives.
In the Sitka House District, cut
from two to one Representative
under reapportionment, Rep. Frank
Cashel and Rep. Andrew Hope an
both seeking re-election. Both, ol
course, could lose. The\ are Demo
crats.
A similar situation exists in the
Kodiak House District, where Rep.
Peter Deveau and Rep. Gilbert
Jarvella, both Democrats, are
seeking re-election.
In the Yukon-Kuskokwim Dis
trict, Democrat Grant Pearson and
Republican Donald Harris are
seeking the same seat, because of
reapportionment consolidation.
The same situation holds true
in the Nome election district, where
Rep. Robert Blodgett, a Democrat,
and Rep. Grace Johnson, a Repub
lican, will be fighting for the
same seat this year.
Rep. Kenneth Garrison, who held
the upper Yukon District seal be
fore reapportionment, finds him
self in a fight for one of seven
seats allotted the Fairbanks-Fort
Yukon District under reapportion
ment.
Another possible turnover of
major importance involves the
veteran Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Warren Taylor of
Fairbanks, who is seeking the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina
tion as well as re-election to the
House.

IMP Rl SHAIK H SHIP
SEATTLE .7' - A strange re
research ship filled the FLIP live'
up to her name Wednesday.
| "Oh bov,” a sailor muttered, hi.1'
eyes wide open. “You couldn't yet
j me on that thing.”
What awed him was the sight
j of the ship's stern sinking slowly
in the water while the bow rose
i to stand straight up during a test
j at Dabob Ray in Hood Canal, an
arm of Puget Sound.
It was the first full-scale test
j of the FLIP, short for Floating
| Instrument Platform. The ship was
| built in Portland with almost
i $600,000 of Navy research money
! for the Seripps Institute of Ocean -
! ography.
The ship was designed to pm
: vide a stable platform for research
j as instruments and her primary
* purpose is to study sound waves
in the ocean.
She is expected to drift for weeks
or months in the vertical position
as scientists, living aboard, try to
unlock the ocean’s secrets. She will
leave under tow for San Diego
Aug. 6.
20-seat State Senate will not be
as extensive.
Sens. Jack Weise of Bethel, a
Republican; John MeNees of Nome,
a Democrat; and B. J. Logan of
hill of Nenana, is also a candidate
for the GOP nomination for gover
nor, but Coghill’s Senate term
doesn’t expire until 1965, so he
will automatically return to the
upper chamber next January if he
fails to make it as governor.
Cordova, a Democrat, did not file
for re-election.
Sen. Howard Pollock, Anchorage
Republican, decided to forego an
other try for the Senate in favor
of a bid for the GOP gubernatorial
' nomination. His Senate term ex
I pires in January.
