Slate GOP Leaders Pick Goldwater
By WAHD SIMS
Associated. Press Staff Writer
JUNEAU l/P) — Alaska’s Repub
lican National Committeeman and
Committeevvoman believe that, at
the present time, Sen. Barry Gold
water is the strongest potential
GOP Presidential candidate for
19(14.
Walter J. Hickel and Mrs. Tillie
Reeve, both of Anchorage, said
they also believe that Goldwater,
of Arizona, will receive the nod
next year when Republicans pick
their Presidential candidate.
Hickel and Mrs. Reeve empha
sized they were not speaking of
their personal choice, but rather
designating whom they consider
to be the front-runner as of now,
based on their contacts with party
officials throughout the state and
nation.
Hickel saici he believed former
Vice President Richard Nixon
would have an “excellent chance to
be nominated, if he would make
himself available for a draft or
otherwise.”
Hickel and Mrs. Reeve made
their comments in response to an
inquiry from the Associated Press
as part of a nationwide poll of
Republican leaders.
The two top Alaska Republicans
were asked the following ques
tions
1. Whom do you consider to be
the top GOP contender against
President Kennedy on the basis of
present conditions, and why?
2. Whom do you believe the Re
publican Party will nominate next
year, and why?
Mrs. Reeves commented:
“Among Alaskans I am sure
Senator Goldwater is far ahead of
anyone else being considered at
this time. He is much better known
in the area and is highly respected
by all.”
Answering the second question,
Mrs. Reeve said:
“It will very likely be Sen. Gold
water, because the majority of ac
tive Republicans who will be tak
ing part in the convention as dele
gates tend to be the conservative
type.

“Alaska will have 12 delegates
next year and judging by past ex
perience I would estimate that
eight of the 12 will be for Sen.
Goldwater.”
Hickel, in naming Goldwater as
the strongest candidate at the
present time, gave two reasons:
“Mainly, he is the strongest can
didate because of his work and
contacts with the party over the
past four years. Also, there seems
to be a lack of any consequential
Rockefeller strength,” Hickel said.
“Rockefeller has never had a
strong following in Alaska” Hick
el said, “even prior to his divorce
and re-marriage.”
Hickel said he feels there is an
underlying strength for Nixon in
Alaska, “but it will not come to
the surface for the lack of his
candidacy.”
Hickel said that based on the
present situation, Goldwater should
be nominated by the GOP next
year, and the Anchorage business
man said there were a number of
reasons for this.
“One, the frustration of some in
the party for what they consider
to be ‘me, too’ candidacy.
“Second, there still seems to be
deep resentment at the lack of a
candidate with a political philoso
phy such as that of the late Rob
ert A. Taft.
“This will carry over in Gold
water’s favor.”
American Art Week
Proclaimed by Governor
Governor Egan Saturday pro
claimed the first seven days in No
vember as “American Art Week in
Alaska.”
In his proclamation Governor
Egan emphasized the part that Art
has played in preserving history
and imparting a knowledge of pre
historic man. “Historic Art is often
the sole survivor of lost and ex
tinct cities and peoples,” the Gov
ernor said. ‘Primitive art in Alas
ka plays a leading role in preserv
ing the traditions and culture of
this State’s original inhabitants,”
Governor Egan concluded.
Governor Egan’s proclamation
was issued at the request of the
Alaska Chapter of the American
Artists and Professional League.

Trooper Escapes Wreck
In Fast-Rising Water
PORTLAND, Maine — A
Maine State Trooper whose car
crashed into a stream during a \
100-mile-an-hour chase was pulled |
from the wreckage by fellow offi
cers as the rising water w-as about
to engulf him. He escaped with lac- j
orations and bruises.
Trooper John Leyte said he gave
chase to a speeding car between
Saebago Lake Village and Liming
ton. He said speeds exceeded 100
miles an hour during the chase
until he failed to make a curve,
crashed through a bridge and
wound up in the stream.
The car landed among some boul
ders, and Leyte found that the
rocks prevented him from opening
the doors. Then he realized that
the car was acting like a dam, and
the water was rising rapidly in
side of it. He said:
“I figured this is it, but the
water was so cold I got so I didn't
care. I’m still shaking.”
