FAIRBANKS BUSINESSMAN
RENEWS INTEREST IN
SIBERIAN TYPE WHEAT CROP
•JUNEAU (4*) — The award of a
certificate of merit to Fairbanks
businessman Robert L. Bloom was
announced Saturday by Gov. Wil
liam A. Egan’s office.
The award was made, Egan said,
in connection with Bloom’s work
in reviving interest in a strain of
Siberian wheat which more than
-10 years ago produced grain for
the Tanana Valley Flour Mill then
in operation.
Bloom harvested 80 acres of the
wheat this year, after planting it
on the Yankovich farm near Fair
banks.
NEW YORK — Wheels have
been used for about 30 centuries
in some parts of the world, but in
America, as far as anyone knows,
no wheels existed prior to 1492.
Today America is the home for
five of every six wheels in the
world.

NEW YORK — During a typical
air-to-air refueling operation, a
KC-135 tanker can transfer almost
20,000 gallons of fuel to a B-52 jet
bomber in about 21 minutes.
Big earthquakes are unusual, but
little ones are commonplace. Our
globe has literally thousands of
them every day, most of them too
small to be detected except by a
sensitive seismograph.

Magazine Survey Shows
Goldwater Ahead
NEW YORK UP — Surveys by
news magazines today found that
Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona
is the front contender for the Re
publican Presidential nomination
—and that he could give President
Kennedy a tight race.
Newsweek said its check showed
that Goldwater probably has 500
of the 655 GOP convention votes
needed to win the party’s nomi
nation, and the prospect of con
siderably more.
Simultaneously, Time Magazine
said a state-by-state survey indi
cated that Goldwater could give
President Kennedy a “breathlessly
close contest” in the present cli
mate of opinion.
Assessing the likely swing of
electoral votes in various states,
Time said the outcome in a Gold
water-Kennedy race could hinge
on how Texas went. The magazine
added:
“If Texas went Democratic,
Kennedy would have 290 electoral
votes, 20 more than the 270 needed
for a majority. If Texas went for
Goldwater, Barry would have 266
with an excellent chance of pick
ing up more than the necessary
additional four from among the
Kennedy-nating unpledged elec
tors of Alabama and Mississippi.
Newsweek said the results of its
survey, showing Goldwater with
500 convention votes, did not in
clude the 290 votes held by New
York, California, Pennsylvania and
Michigan.

New Postmaster General
Takes Binding Oath
WASHINGTON UPI — With his '
wife and children looking on,
John A. Gronouski took what
President Kennedy called “a much
more binding oath than the rest
of us,” and was sworn in as Post
master General today.
Supreme Court Justice Byron
White administered the oath,
which includes a promise to turn
over to the Treasury any money
Gronouski collects for the govern
ment. In that respect, it differs
from the oaths that other cabinet
members take.
“We’re very glad to have the
new member of the Cabinet,”
Kennedy said after the ceremony,
held in the Cabinet Room of the
White House.
NEW YORK—By keeping a num
ber of armed bombers and refuel
ing tankers always in the air, the
Strategic Air Command has great
ly increased the deterrent effect
of its manned aircraft. A signifi
cant force is always in a position to
retaliate in the unlikely event an
aggressor eluded all alarm sys
tems and knocked out the bulk
of the bombers on the ground.
