Seattle Bank Offers Alaska Spot in Century 21

JUNEAU R = Gov. William Egan said today legislators have displayed highly favorable initi- tial reaction to an offer by the National Bank of Commerce, Seattle, to provide space for an Alaska exhibit at Seattle's Cen tury 21 Exposition next year.
 The Seattle bank offered to share space with Alaska, without cost to the state, in a $125, ,0O0 building the bank plans to con- struct on the exposition grounds.
 The state has estimated it's costs for staffing and equipping the Alaska exhibit would be ap- proximately $175,OOO.
 In an effort to provide the bank with an early reply, Egan asked members of the Legisla- ture if they would support re- quest for supplemental appropri- ation of up to $l75,000 for the project.
 Early replys, Egan said, have been overwhelmingly favorable to acceptance of the National Bank of Commerce's proposal.
 Egan said that while no direct general approach has been made to Alaska industry for financial aid pending a final return of the legislative poll, assurances of sub- stantial contributions have all ready been volunteered by more than half dozen Alaska firms.

How ever, the closing date for the list of candidates is Feb. 1 of the y Aar of the award.
 The prize committees state ment gave no specific reason for Hammarskojjii id award The prize will be placed at the disposal of Hammarskj jold's estate.

JUNEAU R = Secretary of State Hugh Wade today approved an application for an initiative petition designed to move the state capital from Juneau to westward Alaska.
 The application was filed Oct. 10 by Dr. Merritt P. Starr of An chorage, Dr. Clarence Bailey of Palmer and James Fisher of Kenai.
 Under the provisions of the pro- posed initiative, the capital Of Alaska would be relocated at a site west Of Al west longitude, roughly 46 miles west of Yakutat, but in no instance closer than 30 miles to Anchorage.
 The sponsors of the petition must obtain the supporting sig natures of 6,218 voters before the initiative can be placed on the ballot.

 Wade suggested that he ant the three principal sponsors mee to discuss not only the form c | petition but also some of tn problems inherent in the circuls I tion of the petition" n Wade said the petition book
 lets would be very similar in forl
 to the one used a year ago on ar
 other capital relocation initiativ, 1 which was defeated at tine poll
 Wade said, however, that h planned to add an additions

 ing for the length of residenc in the election district wher signers of the petition reside a the time of signing the document
 Under the provisions of the pro posed initiative, capital site SC lection committee composed of thu senior senators from each sena torial district would pick three potential capital sites in westward Alaska
 The eventual new capital site would be selected by the voters, with movement of the capital to the new site to start by June l, 1868.

Soviets Blast Off Two One a 50- Megaton Bomb
By The Associated Frees


 The Atomic Energy Commits sion reported the Soviet Union detonated two nuclear explosions today-one possibly as high as 50 megatons but more likely about 30 megatons
 It said the second was of low yield. Both explosions were in the Novaya Zemyla area in the Arctic region.
 The Atomic Energy Comnis- sion said the first of these was detonated in the atmosphere. "The yield of this test was very high, possibly as high as 50 megatons. Preliminary analysis indicates it was more probably on the order of 30 megatons. The second was detonated some two hours later under water south of the island of Novaya Zemyla. It was in the low yield range"
 The first explosion had been reported earlier by scientists in Sweden, France and Japan. They said it probably was the 50 mega ton bomb promised by Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
 By comparison, the largest pre- vious detonation by the Soviets has been estimated at 10 mega tons.
 The biggest abnormal atrnos- pheric pressures on record were reported ct several observation stations in Japan between 8 and g am. EST.
 An earthquake possibly caused by the Soviet explosion was felt in Matsushiro. 120 miles north west of Tokyo.
 The observatory at Uppsala, Sweden, said the explosion was twice as heavy as any recorded for previous Soviet tests in the current series.
 The effect of the blast reached Sweden several hours before it was felt in Japan
 Premier Khrushchev told the Communist Party Congress last week that the current series of Soviet tests probably would con- clude at the end Of this mont, with testing of a ther1nonuclear device equivalent to 50 million tons of TINT.
 Some versions of Ksafushchev's speech had the explosion begged for Oct. 30 or 3l.
 Meansis storm of protest against plafis for the blast has been building up in the United Nations and elsewhere in the world. Thus the Soviet Union conceivably could cosisii have decided to go ahead With the test ahead of the scheduled time.
 Dr. Arthur Baath, of the Upp- sala Seismological Institute, said he found reason to believe to- days explosion was of 3D. megaton bomb But in Washing ton an AEC spokesman said
 'sIt takes certain amount of time to analyze this thing !. from what we know, some cau- ton needs to be exercised con- corning the Swedish report inso- far as 2 50-megaton device is concerned.n
 Dr. Baath said:
 This blast must have regis tered 'rosand the Rlobes"
