Resolution Asks U of A
To Study Educational
Facilities at Anchorage
JUNEAU (TP) — A substitute for
a Senate resolution calling for a
study of the possibility of improv
ing the facilities of the Anchorage
Community College was filed with
the Senate by its five sponsors
Tuesday.
The resolution, SRI 8, requests
that the feasibility study be con
ducted by the president of the Uni
versity of Alaska.
The study, under the provisions
of the substitute resolution, would
also include a report on whether
expanded facilities at Anchorage
Community College would injure
Alaska Methodist University.
Dr. Fred McGinnis, president of
AMU, had expressed fears last
week that AMU would be harmed
if, as one of the resolution’s spon
sors, Sen. Nicholas Begich of Snen
ard said, the resolution was the
first steo in establishing a branch
of the UA at Anchorage.
Begich said after the substitute
resolution was introduced Tuesday
that McGinnis’ fears were “un
founded.”
“As an educator, I am person
ally in support of every effort to
enhance higher education in Alas
ka,” Begich said.
“I want my position to be made
clear that I do not have a desire
to harm any education program.”

What's in a Name?
Nowadays, mention of the name “Rothschild” evokes two
images: a family which is associated with magnificence and al
most unimaginable wealth and power; and a book which has
become one of the year’s biggest best-sellers. “The Rothschilds”
Frederic Morton’s chronicle of this Dowerful dvnastv. still
topping national best-seller<
lists after a run of a year, is
at last available in a 75* paper
back edition published by the
Fawcett World Library under
the Crer,t imprint.
The Rothschild story is a
dazzling montage of fabulous
business coups, fairy-tale pal
aces and fantastic eccentricities.
It is essentially the backstage
history of Western Europe in
the 19th century. The five Bar
ons Rothschild, sons of a Frank
furt junk peddler, reigned
over the five great financial
capitals of 19th century Europe
with a power rivaling that of
kings. Creators of the concept
of international finance, bank
ers to empires, the Rothschilds
were gifted with a cool genius
for converting international
crises into cold cash. It was a
Rothschild who made the most
famous stock market killing of
all time, scooping England’s
couriers with the news of Napo
leon’s defeat at Waterloo.
Reading like the most excit
ing historical fiction, Frederic
Morton’s stories of the Roth
schilds are true .. . the men of
the clan actually did these
deeds, actually sat in palatial
rooms, royally entertaining
Europe’s most impressive fig
ures and casually altering the
course of history over after
dinner cigars.
The New York Times called
“The Rothschilds” “fascinating
... lively, highly entertaining,”
and Atlantic Monthly said it
“should delight every reader.”
Proof of these predictions is
evident in the hardcover sales.
Over 100,000 copies of the orig
inal edition have already been
sold. Now, with Crest’s reprint
of “The Rothschilds,” which
contains 16 pages of photo
graphs, the book is available
to millions more.
Ash Wednesday Ushers
In Lenten Season Today
NEW YORK </P> — Ash Wednes
day ushered in the Lenten season
for Christians around the world
today.
The 40-day period of fasting and
penitence — with Sundays exclud
ed will end on April 14, Easter, the
most joyous holiday on the Chris
tian calendar.
Christ’s days in the wilderness,
his crucifixion and his days in the
■tomb are highlighted in church
observances.
Roman Catholics, Orthodox
Church members, many Episcopa
lians and members of some other
denominations today receive from
their priests and pastors a Cross of
Ashes marked on the forehead.
At many of the observances,
the faithful are reminded: “Re
member, man, that thou art dust
and unto dust thou shalt return.”
During Lent, contrition and self
denial are stressed as repentence
for the sins of mankind.
Christians of many denomina
tions are urged to perform positive
acts of devotion, to attend church
services, to take communion, to
read, to meditate, to give to others
— in time, money and labor.

NEW YORK W — Playwright
Gore Vidal says Atty. Gen. Robert
Kennedy will be the Democratic
candidate for President in 1968
but “it will take a public relations
genius to make him appear
lovable.”
He also says the Attorney Gen
eral “would be a dangerously au
thoritarian-minded President.”
Vidal, a personal friend of Presi
dent Kennedy, says in an article
in Esquire magazine the President
will be re-elected in 1964.
Vidal, a resident of Tarrytown,
N.Y., grew up for a time in the
same Virginia home with the
President’s wife. They had the
same stepfather.

By The Case
To Determine if Favoritism
Figured in TFX Contract
Given Genera! Dynamics
WASHINGTON UP — Son. John
L. McClellan says a military evalu
ation board recommended unani
mously four times that the Boeing
Co. be given the contract to de
velop the TFX fighter - bomber
plane.
The contract was awarded to
General Dynamics Corp. of Fort
Worth, Tex., in December.
A Senate investigations subcom
mittee headed by McClellan began
a hearing yesterday to determine
whether favoritism figured in the
award.
McClellan said the evaluation
group is made of uniformed of
ficers of the Air Force and Navy.
He said the board made its recom
mendations in favor of Boeing in
January, May, June and Novem
ber 1962.
McClellan said the Air Force’s
evaluation was that the Boeing
plane could be produced for $100
million less than that of General
Dynamics.
“Even though costing less,” the
senator said, “the Air Force found
that the Boeing plane had far sup
erior operational capabilities, in
cluding a ferry range of over 1,000
miles more than the General Dy
namics plane, a bomb carrying ca
pacity more than 50 per cent
larger and certain other features.”

Five members of the State Af
fairs Committee, which had been
considering the bill, HB95, rec
ommended that it be passed. They
were chairman John Longworth,
Reps. Carl Lottsfeldt, John Holm,
Wm. Whitehead, and Bennie Leon
ard.
Two committee members signed
