Rep. from Chicken
Would Let Capital
Set AT Juneau

CHICKEN, R-Chicken is still
steWing over the proposal to move
Alaskas capital.
State Rep. Bob McComb, lead
ing citizen of this Taylor Highway
community, said today he is
against moving the state capital.
"But if voters decide to move
it, Chicken is where it should
come to roost."
McCombe said that nearly 1000
state employees and their fami-
lies would have difficulty finding
room to live in the Anchorage
area.
"In Chicken, where there is
plenty of space, they wouldn't feel
so cooped up" he stated.
McCombe estimated that it will
cost so million dollars to move
the capital. But he said that the
voters could go ahead and move
it if they think SO million dollars
is chicken feed.
However, McCombe said that
Chicken is not trying to pick on
Juneau.
81 will argue in favor Of leaving
the capital where it is if some
body will egg me on" McCombe
said.

WADE RULES ON
YOIDING BALLOTS IN
AUG. 9 PRIMARY

JUNEAU, R-The Aug 9 pri-
mary election and Initiative No.
ballots are independent bal
lots and while the vote on one
ballot may be voided, the other
would still be valid, Secretary of
State Hugh Wade said today.
Wade made the comment after
being asked what effect the new
state election code provision
which prohibits crossing party
voting on candidates would have
on the capitol move initiative, in
regard to its location on the .ame
sheet Of paper as the primary
election ballot.
LAS far as we are concerned
Wade said, I'VE view the primary
election ballot and the initiative
as two distinct ballots, even
though they will appear on the
same piece of paper.
eff the primary ballot is Voided
through cross-voting, we still will
count the vote on the initiative,
which has a place Of its own at
the bottom of the sheet.
THE reverse could be true. We
could void the initiative ballot
for some reason and still count
the primary election ballot" he
said.

Oratory Runs TO
Cliches al Demo
Convention
BY SAUL PETIT

LOS ANGELES, lRD-It is clear
who won individual honors at the
opening session of the Democratic
national convention.
To Paul Ziffern, chairman of
the California convention commit
tee, went the distinction of being
the first orator to refer to "the
last syllable of recorded time"
This occurred at 6:l8 pm. He
also became the first speaker to
mention 'our rendezvous with
destiny" a phrase which hasn't
failed the Democrats in q years.
Paul M. Butler, retiring nation
al chairman, was the first to the
wire with 1.-The whole world is
watching us" and peace is our
business"
Butler also was the only speak
er of the evening to excite APP
plause with a promise of nom
appearances in the future. He got
the hand by saying, "ThiS is the
last time I shall address you as
national chairman"
In his 5A-year term, Butler
has proved one of the most con-
troversial party chairmen of the
century, a fact referred to with
something less than obliqueness.
He said "If the National Commit
tee has taken a stand on issues, it
has not taken a stand on men"
He denied again Harry Truman's
charge by insisting the convention
has had mo rigging whatsoever. !"
Butler won other honors. He
was the first speaker to mention
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he
easily ran off with the Oscar for
the best ALTERATION by blasting
the enemy for eight years of
golfing and goofing."
Gov. Edmund Brown of Cali
fornia was the first to declare,
Eve are here to nominate the
next President of the United
States" a statement Of hope
likely to be repeated Sc times be-
fore the week is out.
The Oscar for the most literal
gestures of the evening went
without contest to Frank Church,
35, the youngest member of the
United States Senate and conven-
ton keynoter. In his blue suit and
white shirt and carefully timed
pauses and studied modulations
and memorized speech, he re-
minded many of promising prep
school orator.

Casanova's races were run the
end Of February on a sunny,
balmy day. The Casanova
Hunts luck may hold but
anyone who starts putting
away old fur coats, ski par

Seven races will again be
