 Alaska has received $19,070 in revenue from oil production since a booming search for petroleum lands was touched off in the state more than two years ago.
 The production total is min ute sum compared with the near ly seven million dollars Alaska has taken in as it's share of min eral leasing fees.
 Within the next few weeks - perhaps within a matter of days - another check for more than $3,0OO,00O is expected to be de- livered to the state. It will repre- sent a federal payment on oil leases issued during the first six months of this year.
 Income to be Trimmed for a Time
 After that check has been re- ceived, it appears Alaska's oil in come will be trimmed sharply for at least a time.
 Royalty values show no indi- cation of an immediate jump, un- less production is stepped up from the three wells now being pumped - or unless major new strikes are made.

Johnson Gain
Seen in Visit
Kentucky

MORGANFIELD, KY, Dec. 5
(AP).-Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon Johnson met with Ken
lucky Democratic leaders today.
No one would say, but q main
topic apparently was the Texas
Senator's chances for the 1860
presidential nomination and the
role Of Kentucky's 3l-member
delegation to the convention. !.
Senator Johnson lunched
with former Senator and Gov.
Earle Clements, Governor elect
Bert Combs and about 20 others
at Mr.. Clements home.
The Texas Democrat, a long,
time friend of Mr.. Clements,
flew in from johnson City, Tex,
on his way to st. Louis for two
days Of speeches.
Mr.. Clements reportedly is
quitting as Democratic sena-
torial campaign director to
boost the presidential chances
of Senator johnson. His deci-
sion to resign the $25,000-a-
year post is generally inter-
preted in Washington as sig
mailing the start of an'intensive
campaign to line up convention
support for Senator johnson.
If Mr.. Clements follows pres
.ent plans, he is expected to
accept an appointment from
Mr.. Combs to a $12,000-a-year
post as State highway commits
sioner.
In that post he would be in
position to help put the State
delegation behind Senator
johnson.

He says that Senator Ken

had "graciously accepted" an
invitation to take part in a

marking the end Of a financial

OF the -Four Chaplains."
yet, howing to the will of
an eminent Catholic prelate,
Mr.. Kennedy disappointed us"
DR.. Polling writes.
The intervenor was identl-

Dennis Cardinal Dougherty of
Philadelphia.

Polling, a member of the Re-

on the Dorchester.
The other Protestant chap

exander D. Goode of York, Pa.
In his account, DR.. Polling
mentions Senator Kennedy's
prospects as a Democratic pres

that Senator Kennedy has de-
clared his firm support for the
Hrinciple of separation of
church and state. But DR..
Polling adds:
To-day, though respectfully

Distress Obvious
"The Congressman's distress
was obvious as he relayed this
information" DR.. Polling writes.
"All but overwhelmed with
my disappointment, reminded
Mr.. Kennedy that the banquet
was a civic occasion, that all the
faiths were participating, that
we were meeting not in a Pro-

ground in a hotel.
THE Congressman replied
that he understood all this and
that he had done everything he
could to change the cardinals

pared, he said. and he would
gladly forward it to me. but as
a loyal son of the church, he
had no alternative but not to

Juicy contradiction in the

Welcome to the club, men.
I doubt If there is a TV
columnist anywhere who didn't
express his displeasure when
NBC announced (well in ad-
vance Of the September date)
that the Today show hence
forth would be "taped" the
previous afternoon. Today fol-
lowed Jack Paar's Tonight to

the reasons were not identical.
In the Garroway case, the
success of the week in Paris.
which was tape in the after
noon, and the recognized I'M
availability of many important
people in the dawn hours,
prompted the move. Paar
simply didn't want to stay up
that late. He's an early-to-'
rise man and when his show
sold out" and his position
became secure enough so that
he could enforce his demands,
he was permitted to go to tape.
Paar's show is tapped in the
afternoon and, if he's so in
clined, he can watch it at home
that night.
On Fridays, the contradiction
is even funnier. What's pre-
sented are tape excerpts from
the taped shows.
In the case Of Garroway's
program, it should be stated
that the news segments, which
Frank Blair supervises. are not
taped and are delivered "live."
