Things have changed since

us. There weren't many boys
at my weight-l18 pounds. In
fact, think Doug Swetnam and
myself were the only two in the
AAU tournament. They didn't
have Golden Gloves in those
days. We fought each other II
times. if I remember. Instead
of developing into o red-hot ri

Senate Passes Ferry Bond Bill By l7-3 Vote
By Ward T. Sims Associated Press Staff Writer

JUNEAU R - The State Sen ate, on a surprising 17-3 vote, ap proved the big $23 million Ferry Bond Bill Monday and virtually completed legislative action on the measure.
 The bill must go back to the House for concurrence in Sen ate amendment, before it can be passed along to Gov. Egan for his approval or rejection.
 The Senate beat back numer- ous attempts to change the bill and accepted only one amend ment, offered by Sen. John Me NeeS.
 McNeeS' amendment requires that $5 million of the ferry-road bond issue of $23 million be spent for road construction. Under terms of the bill as it was sent to the Senate, the $5 million could be spent for road construction and/ or maintenance.
 The ferry bond bill had been expected to pass the Senate by a substantial majority, with the predictions ranging up to 16-4 vote, but when the showdown actually came, the only dissent CTS were three Anchorage Re publicans, Sens. Vance Phillips, Howard Pollock and Brad Phillips.
 After approving the ferry bill, the Senate gave it's okay to gen. eral obligation bonding bills which would provide $1.5 million for bush airfields, $2.5 million for hospital construction and equip ment, and $1.5 for construction of a Vocational Education School north of the Yukon River.
 All but the Ferry Bond Bill passed without amendment. Those will go direct to Egan for his ap proval or disapproval.

Bartlett Introduces Bill for Private Development of Barrow Gas Field

WASHINGTON R - A bill aimed at opening Northern Alas ka's 23-million acre Naval petro- leum reserve to private explora- tion and development was intro duced Monday by Sen. E. L. Bartlett.
 The reserve has been closed to the public since 1923. The Navy has tapped some natural gas in the area but no commercial oil or gas deposits have been dis covered.
 Bartlett's bill would place the reserve under Interior Department jurisdiction. The Secretary of h. terior could then open it for com mercial development under Min eral Leasing Laws.
 He said tests by the Navy ''in no respect disprove the potential of the area for oil and gas.' "If the area were opened for leas- ing, a commercial integrated in- dustry might eventually be ere ated in Northern Alaska" he said.
 Under the bill, the Navy would continue to use natural gas from the South Barrow Field to serve federal facilities at Barrow
 The bill also contains a pro- vision that could lead to civil ians at Barrow gaining access to gas for heating.
 Hard-pressed for. fuel, the vil- lagers have been unable to ob- tain gas from the field because of restrictions imposed in setting up the Naval reserve.
 Bartlett's bill provides that pri- vate interests could use existing pipeline facilities to transport gas to the villagers if commercial gas supplies are located.
 The Defense Department has expressed a desire to relinquish control of the reserve to allow further exploration through 'pri- vate investment by the oil in- dustry, Bartlett said.

Tempted by Appointment
Despite his determination
however, Mr.. Cavanagh was
almost swayed from his path
last fall, when his good friend
Connecticut Gov. Abraham A
Ribicoff, told him he could get
a high-level appointment in
the Kennedy administration.
Mr.. Cavanagh, one of the
earliest Kennedy boosters, was
tempted. To help him make
up his mind, he entered a re-
treat for several days of prayer
and meditation. He tells how
he made his decision:
"A priest asked me, Can
Kennedy get along without
you?' I had to say yes. Well
then he said. It's just a ques-
ton Of how generous you want
to be with the Lord
Mr.. Cavanagh made his de-
cision final.
He hopes that after "a rea-
sonable amount Of time" in
Louisiana he will get his own
parish.
