Sen. J. Tower Calls
 For Increased Firmness In US. Foreign Policy

FAIRBANKS R, - Sen. John Tower, R-Tex), climaxed the three-day Republican State Con- vention last night with call for increased firmness in the conduct of American foreign policy.
 Speaking at a $25-a-plate fund raising dinner, Tower took excep- tion to what he called the Ken nedy Administrations over-con- cern with the "nebulous force of opinion of the uncommitted na- tions, which are actually bene- violently neutral toward the So- viet Union.'
 He urged the immediate estab- lishment of an anti-Castro Cuban government in exile. The United States " must excise this cancer in Cuba, which threatens to spread to the entire hemisphere, before it is too late," Tower said.
 He also advocated tough United States attitude toward the Berlin question, saying European nations would be ready to follow strong "no nonsense" policy on negotiations with the Russians
 In the continuing conduct oi the cold war, Tower called fo, policies that are morally right militaryily necessary and politi. cally practical

|A-Bonib Scientist Claims Fa1lout Has Passed Safety Limit

WASHINGTON R = Physicist Ralp E. Lapp, who helped in de- velopment of the Atom Bomb, says it's his opinion that fallout from the Soviet Unions nuclear tests have exceeded the sssafe an nual limit"
 The Soviets fired their 18th att mospheric explosion Sunday in their current test series.
 "They have, according to the latest count, sent up over 10 megatons of weapons. I don't know precisely how much of this would be dirty, but this, in my opinion, exceeds the safe level ]"
 ''It turns out that Russian tests dump their debris back to the earth sooner than the American tests in the Pacific. And, there fore, we find out on the actual base of measurements that you get 10 times as much radiation dose from these arctic tests in Russia as you do from American tests in the Pacific
 Therefore, the, safe annual limit for Russian testing I would put closer to the value of mega tons per year than I would the old 1857 value of 10 megatons per year"
 A megaton is the equivalent oi the energy released by million tons of TINT.
 The Atomic Energy Comrnis- sion in announcing the Sovie Unions 18th nuclear detonation said the blast was in the atmo- sphere and was in "the low yield range" The AEC has defined low range as equivalent to about 2O,- 900 tons of TINT.

Tragedy Strikes
 Family of Five as Fishing Boat Sinks

JUNEAU R, = A 37-foot fish ing boat carrying Tacoma, Wn., family of five hit an obstruction and plunged to the bottom near Lemesurier Island yesterday. The Coast Guard said all five appar- ently drowned.
 The bodies of Mrs. Shirley Moe and her two young sons, 7-year- old Paul and 6-year-old David, were picked up by the fishing vessel Consul D, som e three hours after the fishing vessel Partner radioed frantic May Day.
 Still missing were the owner and operator of the Tacoma regis tered fishing boat, Don Moe, and his 1l-months-old daughter, Don Ia.
 According to friends in Juneau, the Moe family was enroute from Juneau to Pelican.
 The radioed call for help was intercepted by the Park Service boat Nunatuck. The faint May Day call said the Partner had been holed and was going down.
 Six fishing vessels in the gen. earl area of Lemesurier Island, which lies just west of the mouth of Glacier Bay, responded to the plea for aid.
 The fishing boats found the water filtered with debris, in- cluding a life jacket.
 The Coast Guard said Moe gave no indication in his distress call of what it was the Partner struck.
 There was little wind. There |were four foot swells and one foot sea in the area where the boef went down. The Coast Giard called conditions sspretty good. 2

COP Chairman Miller Believes Nixon Would "Succumb to a Draft"

NEW YORK tR Republican National Chairman William Miller says he believes former Vice Pres ident Richard Nixon would have to succumb" if the people called on him to run for President again in 196z.
 q think Dick Nixon is abso- lutely intellectually honest in stating that at tiss;;s time it is his intention to run for Governor of California and if elected to serve the four years" Miller said on television program Sunday.
 "If in 1864 it appeared that it was almost the unanimous desire of the delegates to our conven- ton to nominate him. and the polls seemed to indicate that by and large the vast majority of the American people wished to elect him--I think that he would have to succunlb to the draft"

Egan Asks for Aid To Stamp Out
 False Advertising

JUNEAU M - Gov. Egan said today he has asked the Attorney Generals of New York and New Jersey to help stamp out alfislead- ing advertising which has drawn money-short families to Alaska on the promise of high paying jobs.
 Egan said he was advised by Maj. Donald Barry, divisional commander of the Salvation Army at Anchorage that four families have appealed te the Salvation Army for aid.
 In each instance, the head of the family said he was attracted to Alaska by assurances of high paying jobs, but on his arrival here was unable to locate anyone knowing about the jobs they were promised
 Two of these families are, at this time, living in tents just out side of Anchorage, and face a very difficult winter ahead with out proper shelter" Barry told Egan.
 Egan said letter from the ad- vertiser assuring the individuals of job in Alaska apparently served as sufficient credit for these families to pass through Canadian customs without the necessary money in their pos session to provide them with the basic necessities when they ar rived in Alaska"
 Egan's appeal for aid in halting false advertising about Alaska wages and jobs was addressed to atty. generals Louis J. L.efkowitz of New York and David D. Fur man of New Jersey.
 Egan also sent Lefkowitz and Thurman a copy of aii advertise ment by a New Jersey company in the New York Journal-Ameri- can of Sept. 24 which said:
