GAS CONVERSION FOR
MILITARY BASES SENT
BACK FOR FURTHER STUDY
ANCHORAGE UP) — The White
House has sent a proposed contract
providing for fuel conversion at
military installations in Alaska
from coal to natural gas back to
the Budget Bureau and the Depart
ment oi Defense for further study,
Gov. Wm. Egan said Wednesday
night.
Egan said he was advised by the
White House that implementing
action on the contract, opposed by
both Egan and the Alaska con
gressional delegation, would not be
taken for at least a year.
Egan and the Alaska congres
sional delegation had protested
action on the proposed conversion
until all factors had been consider
ed.
Egan urged that the coal indus
try in Alaska permitted to bid on
a 10-year contract comparable to
that promised for natural gas,
rather than being restricted to a
one-year contract.

SIX-STAGE ROCKET
WASHINGTON t¥> — Soviet
cosmonaut Gherman Titov said
yesterday the giant rocket that
whirled him into space had six
stages, all powered by liquid pro
pellants. He also said he controlled
his capsule by manual means alone
during two of his 17 orbits around
the earth last August.
Titov’s statement at an interna
tional space science meting was
the first Russian report on the
number of stages of the rocket.
He indicated that the general
power of the rocket was of the
same order of the United State’s
still-under-development 1.5 million
pound thrust rocket. This is the
Saturn rocket. The Saturn has been
tested but has not been used in
any flight.
He said the maximum thrust of
all six engines of the launching
rocket was 600,000 kilograms. A
kilogram is about two pounds.
Did you know that when you
are born your brain is the biggest
organ in your body, but after you
grow up your liver is larger? So
if you want to live a long time, let
your brain alone and take good
care of your liver.
DESEGREGATION PROBLEM
WASHINGTON UPl — President
Kennedy said Thursday he knows
of “no greater challenge facing
America today” than that posed by
the problem of desegregating pub
lic schools.
His brother, Atty. Gen. Robert
Kennedy, said that the eyes of the
world are on the U.S. to see what
is done in the field of civil rights.
The Attorney General said it

our nation is to continue as leader
of the free world.
The President’s comments were
in a telegram to the first session
of a two-day conference of school
desegregation problems sponsored
by the Civil Rights Commisison.
President Kennedy said that, al
though progress has been made in
recent months in a number of
communities toward “a peaceful
and orderly transition to school
systems unmarred by racial dis
crimination,” these efforts “must
be redoubled.”
Atty. Gen. Kennedy, in a brief j
speech, said that everywhere he
went in his trip around the world
earlier this year he was asked
about civil rights.

King Islanders May
Sail Oomiaks
To Seattle’s C2I
FAIRBANKS — If Paul Tiu
lana of Nome has his way, a group
of King Island Eskimos will sail
two whaleskin boats into Seattle’s
Elliott Bay in time to attend Alas
ka Day, July 7, at the Century 21
World’s Fair. .... plot
Tiulana is the organizer and
leader of a troupe of Eskimo
dancers who perform for tourists
and other visitors to the historic
mining town.
The King Islanders, whose home
lies off the Seward Peninsula, near
the Bering Straits, reside in Nome
during the winter months. They
occupy a group of barracks and
huts at the edge of town.
Tiulana organized the dance
troupe five years ago, so that
ancient tribal legends would be
preserved for the new generation
of Eskimos who tend to desert
village life and customs.
In fact, Tiulana has talked of
relocating the King Island “village”
somewhere along the coast, away
from the corrupting influences of
Nome and to preserve the native
ways.
The dance troupe includes 12
performers ranging in age from
12 to 82 years. The group includes
four women and two girls, as well
as the men.
They have 12 routines in their
performance which tell stories that
“go beyond memory,” said Tiulana.
The Nome Eskimo is seeking to
raise money to take his dancers to
C21. If he succeeds, they would go
to Juneau and there place in the
water their two whaleskin boats,
each carrying nine persons, and
sail down the inside passage to
Seattle.
Tiulana said he has secured U.S.
Coast Ouard approval for his pro
posed voyage.
At the Alaska State Democratic
Convention last week, the Young
Democrats Club undertook to start
the fund raising campaign. John
Giuchici of Fairbanks donated
$100 worth of souvenir trade
tokens, “Frontier Dollars,” which
he distributes and the Young Dem
ocrats plan to sell these to tourists
and other interested groups.
