Si'epovich Takes a
C’annai^n Punch at Egan
ANCHOR \GE </T> Mike; Stepo
vick, Repuolican candidate for
governor, took the latest shot to
day in what has turned into a
running argument with Gov. Wm.
Egan about campaign tactics.
Comm siting on a charge made
by Egan in Sitka last week that
Stepovich was making a “repre
hensible attempt to get votes” in
promising to help the Tlingit and
Haiti,i Indians settle their land
claims. Stepovich said in a state
ment:
“Gov. Egan should have been
looking in a mirror when he hurl
ed those charges.
“The governor attacked me for
offering to help the Tlingit and ;
Haida Indians obtain a settle
ment for their land claims. Mr.
Fgan termed this offer a Tcprc- j
hensible attempt to obtain votes.’
“I would like to point out that
the state has intervened in cases
concerning freight rates, airline
schedules and other matters that
were entirely in the hands of the
federal government. What is wrong
with intervening on behalf of nur
native people? There are ways we j
can help them.
“The people of Alaska should
keep in mind the conduct of the
present administration with re- l
garb to the aid to depressed area
funds.
“What do you call it when the
Egan administration dispenses tax
funds and tells those who receive'
this airl that it comes from the
governor? What do you call it when
this fund is increased 350 per cent i
for the election year, when our
governor is aw ire that native :
people must cat between elections?
What do you call it when politi
cians trade on poverty to obtain
support at the polls?
“If Gov. Egan is looking for a 1
‘reprehensible attempt to get
votes’ he doesn’t have to look very
f a r.
“It’s right in his own back
yard.”

U.S. Naval Vessels
Pull Ou£ of Key West
KEY WEST. Fla. (fB — Virtually ;
every vessel at the Key West Naval
Base pulled out of port today.
There was no word on the ships'
destinations.
A reporter who flew over the j
base said only one destroyer could !
be seen. Ships normally based j
here include five destroyers and j
three destroyer escorts of Destroy- j
er Division 601 and 13 subma- j
rines of Submarine Squadron 12.
Crew members’ relatives said
men had been ordered to report
before daylight without a pre
vious alert.
An aerial check also showed
troops at Sugarloaf Key, about 15
miles northeast of here. The men
had what appeared to be portable
radar equipment.
f'v l-i'i’< Evperl.s Check
Kl-'cct of Seismic Blasts
Made by Oil Companies
SEATTLE OP*-—A state fisheries
official says a seven-month ex
ploration of 4,800 square miles off
the Washington coast turned up
only 111 salmon killed by seismic
explosions of oil companies.
Tom Leal, supervisor of stream
improvement and marine explor
ation for the Washington Depart
ment of Fisheries, said the sur
vey showed that oil company shots
affected only 1.6 per cent of the
area. He said the department es
timated a loss of about 17,000 fish,
including 15,000 anchovies.
A panel of experts from Wash
ington. Oregon, Alaska and Cali
fornia reported to the Pacific Ma
rine Fisheries Commission on ef
fects of the blasts set off by oil
companies seeking off-shore pet
roleum. They said their studies
have been limited to crab and flat
fish and they do not know how
the explosions affected plankton i
and other sea life.
Charles Meachem of the Alaska
Fish and Game Department said j
also it is not known how close
the explosions can be to salmon
spawning grounds without damag
ing eggs. He said Alaska present-'
ly restricts exploratory shots to j
one-quarter mile from the grounds, j
If it can be proved the shots do I
not hurt salmon eggs, he added. |
"we'll let them shoot right up to
the edge of the stream.”
Commercial fishermen contend
that the underwater explosions. |
conduct! d at depths of 10 to 300 |
fathoms, damage commercial fish
ery resources. The states regulate
them by sending along observers
with power to halt the shot if
radar observations show schools of
fish an present.

of Peace and World Order of the

School being held at the Metho
dist University, visited Nome on j

'a ill Search for
Aoisr of Auroras
COLLEGE “Noise from au
roras?'’
This is a question which may
be answered this winter by Gene
Westcott. of tile Geophyiscal Insti
tute. University of Alaska The
National Science Foundation re
cently granted $22,800 to the Uni
versity of Alaska for research by
the young scientist.
In explaining the research proj
ect. Wescott said:
“There art persistent tales by
Arctic residents that during quiet
winter nights sometimes the bril
liant aurora] displays ran be heard
as a crackling or rushing .-on
To many other persons \vh i hw >
witnessed the auroral lie1 * . ‘ <
displays are eerie and silo-"’
Enough reliable reports of uro ’
sounds exist to warrant
plete scientific investigation Th
NSF founds will make pos.-jbE> a
program to eanture the elusiv
sounds on tape.”
Westcott explained further, “a
very high quality condertsor micro
phone. mounted with a parabolic
reflector, has been ; urchased and
soon will be listening skyward.”
In order to know what frequen
cies to list* n for, Westcott is seek
ing to contact individuals who have
heard the auroras in the past,
especially from anyone who has
heard or hears sounds from an
aurora this winter. Westcott asked
that anyone who has heard the
aurora write to him at the Geo
physical Institute, College, Alaska,
and give details of the time of
year, temperature, wind, descrin
tion of color and size of the aurora,
and what the noise sounded like.
The scientist added, “one feature
of auroras that has been reported
is that dogs often begin to howl
during displays. Since it is well
known that dogs can hear higher
pitched sounds than most humans,
it is important to find out if per
sons who hear auroras have ex
tended hearing, which is the
ability to hear higher pitched
sounds.”
