The Chamber of COmmece at its meeting Thursday noon voted to look into the possibilities of mak- ing Kodiak a free trade port. The Harbor committee will examine data and secure information with that object in view.
 City Manager Bill Poland stated at the meeting he thought the Chamber was missing good bet" in not pursuing the possi- bility. He voiced the opinion that since Kodiak is favorably situated geographically to Japan, it's not in the realm of the impossible that the City could be made a free port. If such port were established, he said, it would be to the advant- age of the whole of Alaska. Many advantages would accure to the City, he said, if goods could be brought to this port for reshipment elsewhere.
 The meeting was taken up with reports from committees mainly. President Bob Johnson reported on action taken by the Board of Di- rectOrS at their meeting held earlier this week. In answer to letter from the MantanuSka Cham Der of Commerce seeking the Chambers opinion on conducting a survey on moving tii3 capital from it's present location at Juneau to q more central site, Johnson stated the directors voted to go along with such survey.
 The directors also voted to sub scribe b legislative service from Juneau during the forthcoming session of tl-9 legislature. Cost is $1O 3 month.
 Bill Po.and reported on meet iEg with the Highway, Roads and Aviation O ficials who were in the City over the weekend. A report of the meeting is found elsewhere. President Johnson stated the men were escorted on a tour of the City and the proposed airport site, and seemed favorably impressed with it.
 Lou Veerman, chairman of the Transportation and Tourist Com mittee, stated that arrangements are now being worked out to have the next tourist brochure printed rather than mimographed. This will also include the What to io in Kodiak phase of it.
 Rev. Talbott stated in his re- port on Civic Improvement that the Rotary Club may sponsor the construction of a swimming pool. A bond issue is deemed the best manner of assuring it's early con- Struction. This would be paid for from fees charged for use

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Nixon's Risk oking Program

cradle victory for the new
technique Of public expos
sure" It now probably will
be tried again in Florida and,
beyond that, possibly in Ten
neSSee.
What is happening is this:
Mr.. Nixon no longer needs to
fend eff Gov. Rockefeller as
an outright delegate hunter
so much as he needs to take
out insurance against the
chant nixon can't win"
His notion is this: If he
can show that he is well re-
ceived in any State-includ-
ing States where nobody
could claim he had any mi
tial advantage-it cannot
then be argued that he car
rieS any built-in handicap as
against the Democratic oppo-
Sition.
Again, as in so many other
aspects of his campaign, he
is being remarkably FORE
handed. He is avoiding, or
attempting to avoid, one by
one, the mistakes that cost
the late Senator Robert A.
Taft the nomination in 1852.
If one could reach into the
most private recess of the
vice presidential mind, he
would find no real Nixon hope
of being able to carry a State
like Texas in 1960-unless
the Democrats should nomi-
nate an extreme liberal.
But one would also find an
acute Nixon awareness that
any competitor looks much
better on a playing field not
obviously set up for him than
on one where he would be
favored to win anyhow.
