Neither of two financial CAM

one are plans to remodel the

more faculty homes will be

McNees Predicts Lotteries Law Will Soon Be Challenged In The Courts

JUNEAU, R-A law legalizing the famed Nenana and Cinema river ice breakup lotteries and certain other non-profit gambling activities was placed among AL aska's statutes Tuesday over Gov Egan's veto.
 Sen. John McNees, who voted to sustain the veto, said he ex- pected the law to be challenged in the courts within g very brief time"
 By a 43-17 vote, joint House Senate session overrode Egan's veto Monday just an hour and 20 minutes after he red-pcncilled the measure.
 "I have absolutely no com ment," was all Egan would say later.
 Four more votes would have sustained Egan. Sixteen senators voted to override and four to SUD- port him; 27 House members voted to pass the bill and 13 to sustain the veto.
 The new law, 26th enacted this legislature, authorizes sponsoring organizations which qualify for $1O annual permits to continue traditional activities they have operated in the past without legal sanction.
 Civic organizations, religious groups, service clubs and other non-profit organizations may con- tinue activities carried on within the past five years. They include church and club bingo games and rallies for salmon derbies, winter carnivals and dog mushing events. First Veto of This Session
 It was Egan's first veto of the session. The bill was passed two weeks ago. An opinion by Atty. Gen. John Rader, supporting Egan's stand, accompanied the veto.
 The measure is too broad and the sanctioning of non profit gambling ventures, even tradi- tional ones, might open the door to future wide open gambling in Aloska, Egan said. Rader said he believed the cost of enforcing state regulations of authorized gambling would be prohibitive- 1t might exceed the amount that

goes to charity from gambling activity"
 He did favor, the Governor said, legislation that would allow continued operation of the Ne mana and Cinema ice classics be- cause he believes they can be properly regulated.
 Egan said it did not appear there was question of legalized gambling involved in fishing der bies. He suggested the legislature might consider direct appropria- tions to promote other tourist at- fractions such as dog racing, in line with support given state ag- ricultural fairs.
 Sen. McNees, in prepared statement, objected that debate was too limited at the joint ses- sion. Some who wished to debate the matter on the floor were not recognized by the chair, he said.
 His statement predicted the court Cndllenge.
 The bills supporters said in the floor debate Egan's veto did not take into account that the meas ure does provide adequate safe- guards to control any attempt to open Alaska to all types of gam bling activities.
 Later, State Revenue Commis- sioner Peter Gatz said he was ready to begin immediate approval of the $3 temporary 90-day per- mits allowed under the law. They will be sent in letter form to any qualified organization which makes proper application, he said.
 They will become effective Is days after filing. During that period affected communities will be asked to give their approval.
 Gatz said he understood that few sponsors are ready to file immediately for such permits. Among those expected to do so are sponsors of the Nenana and Cinema ice classics and the Fair banks Winter Carnival, which opened yesterday.
 Then, within the next six months, Gatz is directed by the measures provisions 10 promul- gate permanent rules and regula- tions governing the annual issu- ance of $10 permits.
