1000 Absentee Ballots
Key to Ferry Bond Issue

JUNEAU, R - Some 1000 or
more absentee ballots today held
the key to Alaska's three electoral
votes and the fate of a proposed
23-million-dollar bond issue for
state ferry system.
With the results from more
than five-sixths of the states 300
precincts counted, Vice President
Nixon was leading Sen. Kennedy
in Alaska by some 600 votes.
Most of the remaining precincts
were small ones. State election
officials estimated there were no
more than $500 votes outstand-
ing to be counted.
In addition to these, however,
are some 1000 or more absentee
ballots. The count of the absentee
ballots will start on Friday.
The total vote smashed all rec
ords for Alaska. On the basis of
votes already counted, the $500
estimated to be outstanding and
an absentee ballot count of 1000,
the total vote will be almost
$1,000.
The previous high of 50,343
was registered in the 1858 gen.
eral election, when Alaskans ap-
proved statehood.
The ferry bond proposal was
leading by mere 629 votes. It's
fate will be decided by the alb
Sentee ballots.

Alaska Members of
Congress Move Up
Seniority Ladder
BY FRITZ WITH
APP Special Washington Service


WASHINGTON, R-When the
87th Congress convenes next year
Alaska members will take their
first steps up the seniority lad
der.
Since all three are Democrats,
they will sit on the majority side
of their committees as they did
in the last session.
Changes in committee assign
ments are not often made, so
Sen. Ernest Gruening and Rep.
Ralph Rivers stand to move up
in committee rank while Sen. Ell.
Bartlett probably will stay put.
Gruening is due to move from
ninth to sixth ranking member
of the Interior Committee and
from ninth to eighth place on the
Public Works Committee. This
will come about because of death
or retirement of members with
more seniority.
Because no changes are now
expected in Bartlett's committees
he probably will remain tenth
ranking member of the Armed
Services Committee and ninth on
the Commerce Committee.
Rivers is slated to move up
from 18th to 18th place on the
Interior Committee because of the
loss of two members who had
outranked him in seniority.
Seniority is all important in
Congress. 1t determines the COM
mittee chairmanships and the
ranking of other members of the
committees, where most of the
work of Congress is done.

Man Locked In Car Trunk
Keep Self Alive With
Air From Spare Tire

NEW YORK, Up - How many
persons would have Ferdinand
Stoj's presence of mind If they
were locked up in an airless auto
trunk for six hours?
The quick thinking Stoj sur
vived the ordeal by opening the
valve of a spare tire from time
to time.
A night Waterman locked up
inside another auto trunk wasn't
as lucky. He suffocated.
Stoj, 36, janitor in the Argo-
naut Building in midtown Man
haitian, told police a trio of gun
men forced him into the trunk of
new car parked in a showroom.
The night Waterman, Patrick
Holland, SO, was put into another
car trunk. The thieves then made
off with 500 from an office safe.
During his long siege in the
sitting compartment Stoj tried to
force open the trunk lid with a
tire jack. Every now and then
he would take whiff of tire air.
A relief night Waterman heard
him when he arrived early Sun
day.
He released Stoj. But it was
too late for Holland.

JUNEAU, Up - The strong Re
publican vote of last Tuesday
was the result of many things,
but it did not represent dissatis-
faction with his administration,
Gov. William Egan said today.
Egan was asked at his regular
Monday morning news conference
if the results would indicate a
desire for a change in the legis-
lature alone or would they ex-
tend to the administration as
Well?"
at is always difficult to con-
duct post-mortem on any cleo
tion," Egan replied.
''Much of the apparent dissat-
isfaction was related to the leg
islative branch"
The governor mentioned two
things he said he believed had
a bearing on the sharp swing to
the COP, particularly in the An
chorage area.
These, he said, were the CAPT
tai relocation fight of the pri-
mary election and the failure of
Democratic legislative candidates
to combat COP statements against
the Democratic-controlled 1859
and 1860 session of the legisla-
ture.
The governor noted in connec-
ton with the capital relocation
fight, however, that one of the
strongest supporters of the move,
Democratic State Rep. Earl Hill
strand, was defeated in his bid
for the District G, Anchorage
Palmer, seat in the Senate.

Elizabeth Taylor
Collapses From
Mystery Malady

LONDON, Up = Singer Eddie
Fisher kept vigil tonight by the
sickbed of his wife Elizabeth
Taylor. The couple were in q
London hospital to which the
movie queen was carried with
ing in agony last night.
The stars dramatic collapse
after a long illness posed a large
question mark over her future
and over the fate of the "Cleo-
patra" movie she came to Britain
Sept. to make.
Gloom pervaded the studio
where moviemen have been mark
ing time for two months, waiting
to get Miss Taylor before the
cameras.
She was stricken at her pent-
house apartment in a London
hotel Sunday night with what
was described as "a terrible head
ache causing unbelievable pain"
The attack came just as every
body thought the four times mar
ried star had shaken off the puz-
zling ailment that brought her
down shortly after her arrival in
Britain.
A virus fever was first Sus-
pected. Doctors ordered Miss Tay-
lor hospitalized for three days of
tests. Then last week she was
found to have an abscessed tooth.
A dentist pulled it and the
fever went down. Miss Taylor
was believed on the mend.
When the attack came last
night Fisher put through fran
tic telephone call for an ambu-
lance. Weeping Historically and
clutching her head, Miss Taylor
was carried out through side
door of her hotel Fisher was
agitated and close to tears.

Gov. Egan Does Not Believe
Srong Republican Vote Reflects
Dissatisfaction with Administration

ports that newly elected Repub-

Fairbanks had suggested a special
session of the legislature to cut
the salaries of legislators and
raise the salaries of teachers and
state employees.
81 have not received any re-
quests that l call a special ses-
sion and one of the present rep
resentatives from Fairbanks adj
vised me that the reports "are a
joke"
The governor said he was livery
pleased" with the Battelle Mem
orial Institute report on Alaskan
and Canadian transportation.
Egan noted that the report re-
commended an Inside Passage
ferry system.
"Only three days previously"
Egan said, "the people of Alaska
apparently voted approval of a
bond issue to finance a state ferry
system in Southeastern Alaska
After it became clear that the
voters had okehed a bond issue to
build a vocational school north of
the Yukon, Egan said he received
call from State Rep. Bob Blod-
gett suggesting that the school be
narned after William F. Re1tz
Beltz, who is President of the
