Hospitalized Egan Starts New State FunctiOning

JUNEAU, R - The government of the 18th State began function ing today with it's first Governor directing operations from St. Ann's Hospital.
 Egan's first actions as chief executive included:
 l. Appointment of John Rader of Anchorage as special assistant, amid reports that he is the Gov ernor's choice as State Attorney General.
 2. A directive against the issu- ing of any licenses for use of fish traps in Alaska waters.
 3. Appointment of Burke Riley, of Haines, as executive assistant.
 4. The naming of Lillian Mill as acting State Treasurer, suc- ceeding Hugh J. Wade. She is the assistant Territorial Treasurer, and the daughter of Mrs. J. J. Con- nors. Mrs. Connors is the widow of the former Alaska Democratic National Committeeman, and at one time was resident of Nome.
 Egan approved the directive against fish traps and made ap- pointments even though he is un- dergoing diagnostic tests for jaundice condition.
 The Governor entered the hos pital Saturday, four hours after he was sworn into office. The in auguration of Egan and Wade, who became Alaska's first Secretary of State, took place minutes after the territory's admission into the union as a state.
 Governor Egan's condition was reported unchanged today, with a series of tests underway, not to be completed until Tuesday.
 The new executive assistant, Burke Riley said that Raiders post as special assistant was tempo rary, but he would not comment on the attorney general reports.

Soviet Rocket 'Mechta Dream
 Headed For Orbit Of The Sun

orbit would have maximum dia- meter of 214M million miles. The sun averages 93 million miles from earth.
 The name Mechta was applied to the rocket today by Pravda, the Communist Party newspaper. When it was announced last Sat urday that the rocket was headed toward the moon, it ws called Lu- nix, a combination of Luna (moon and Sputnik.
 Scientists here figured that it was travelling at a maximum speed of 1.52 miles a second when it passed the moon Sunday at a distance of 4,700 miles.
 Results of radio transmissions between the rocket and ground stations will be published as soon as they are analysed, Tass said.
 The actual number of days that will be required for the solar or bit will be 447, scientists said. This is 82 more than it takes the earth to go around the sun.
 The earth has an elliptical orbit around the sun, the same as the rocket will have, but it is tighter. It takes the earth only 12 months to make the full swing.
 The nearest point of the earth's orbit to the sun is about 91M mil lion miles, the farthest 9412 mil lion miles. The earth is now trav- cling away from the sun, having reached its closest point January 1. When the Soviet rocket starts away from the sun, it will swing away faster than the earth, and then the earth will pass between the rocket and the sun.
 The earth and the rocket will be several hundred thousand miles apart, and they will not be that close again for another two or three centuries.

Alaska Is Still Overseas For The Military

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska now is a state, but for purposes of military pay, it continues to be "overseas."
 The Pentagon said Saturday servicemen in the new, farthest north state would continue to get the extra money.
 The so-called overseas pay is based on hardship conditions ra- ther than geography. Part of the recompenSe is in the form of extra allowances for subsistence and quarters.
 The Army Times, unofficial service publication, said today that although a revamping of overseas station per diem allowances will mean reduction for servicemen and families in many overseas areas, some areas of Alaska will have an increase instead of re- duction.
 The Times mentioned, as an example, military personnel in the Anchorage area. A man with a wife and two children, not living in military quarters, will receive more than $1 per day extra on his living allowance.

Mike Walsh Will MIG Inauguration At Juneau Jan. l7

It was announced today by Felix Toner, chairman of the in augural committee, that Michael J. Walsh will be master of cere- monies for Alaska's first inaugu- ration on January 17th.
 The ceremony is planned to take place in the Support of Ju- neau, with appropriate music and speakers for the occasion.
 Although MT. Walsh has lived for more than fifty years in Nome, he is well known throughout Alaska, having served in the Ter ritorial Legislature, on the Terri torial Board of Education, and for the past 12 years on the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska.
 As ardent supporter of State hood, Mike has worked untiringly toward that goal since 1907, and was a distinguished member of the Constitutional Convention, where his eloquence and wisdom helped solve many problems.
 Last year MT. Walsh was sur prised at the commencement ex- ercises at the University of Alas ka, by being conferred an honor ary Doctor of Laws degree.
 Alaskans throughout the Terri tory will be pleased with this an- nouncement.

 Seaton transmitted to Alaskans through his Anchorage audience the ''best wishes for success" from President Eisenhower and greet ings from Vice President Nixon, Mrs. Nixon and their two chil- dren - all of whom visited Alas ka during the recent election campaign.
 Referring to Alaska's years of striving for statehood, Seaton said:

Defense Spending Is Reported At
 $40 Billion In '59

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower talked over his de- fense and foreign policies with Congressional leaders today. He reportedly told them defense spending in the new fiscal year will run about $4O,9OO, 100000.
 This figure - about 100 million dollars more than the current years defense total - was given newsmen by Senator Alexander Wiley R-Wis.
 The White House announced 10 days ago that the Administrations overall spending budget for the new fiscal year, beginning next July l, will be balanced at about IT billion dollars.
 Today's conference of Demo cratic and Republican leaders came against the background of criticism by some Democrats that the total budget is inadequate, particularly in the defense field.
 Wiley, also said the discussion was led by T. Keith Glennan, chief of the new National Aero nautics and Space Agency, civil lian unit.
 As for foreign aid spending in the new fiscal year, Wiley said it is his understanding it will be about the same as this year - about S3,7OO,OOO,OOO.

MOSCOW, tR - The Soviet Unions cosmic rocket continued it's headlong dash toward a solar orbit today in mans greatest con- quest of space.
 Its radio signals ceased as the 112-ton device - now called Mechta Dream went past an estimated 37O,96O miles in it's plunge away from the earth. It had been in flight 62 hours.
 Resources for feeding the radio equipment had become exhausted, the Soviet news agency Tass said.
 "The program of observations and scientific investigations of the rocket has been completed" an announcement said.
 This predicted the rocket will finally enter an orbit around the sun Wednesday or Thursday. Mechta is due to take 15 months to go around the sun, travelling eliptically.

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming i. ;. like any other industry
needs the efficiencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs a sales de-
partment and a purchasing department
;. someone to counsel on insurance
and credit ;. and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If it weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual insur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.
