Atty. Gen. of New Jersey Takes Steps to Curb False Advertising on Alaska

TRENTON, N.J. tR = The State Attorney Generals office has in- tervened to stop newspaper ads which have attracted families from this area to Alaska in the hope of finding high paying jobs.
 The action came after Gov. William Egan of Alaska wrote to New York and New Jersey off cials explaining that four families from the two-state area will spend the cold Alaskan winter in tents after coming to Alaska in response to reported high salaries, as advertised in area newspapers.
 Joseph Pincus of South Orange, proprietor of Practical Research, assured state officials he would place no more ads and agreed to cancel all ads possible, Atty. Gen. David Furman said today.
 Furman said the Consumer Fraud Division, whose job is to protect New Jersey citizens from fraudulent advertising or selling. reports that no fraudulent adver- tising is involved, but that Pincus agreed to cancel the ads because of our intervention"
 Persons answering the ads which tell of high salaries in Alas ka are sent $1 book entitled "Job Prospecting in Alaska, 2 Furman said.
 The book, which lists prevail ing salaries, makes no promise or guarantee of employment" the
 attorney said.
 1 In New York, the office of Atty l Gen. Louis Lefkowitz said Gov Egan's letter has been received and the matter will be investi- gated.

Mock Aerospace War Will Rage in No. American Skies

WASHINGTON tR Moe k aerospace war on vast scale will rage Saturday through North American skies.
 Unprecedented in the variety and volume of modern weapons involved, the make-believe con- flict will ground non-military air craft for i12 hours.
 From noon to midnight EST, no airliner or private plane may operate above the US. or Cana dian mainland o- over Alaska.
 Streams of B-52 and BAY jet bombers will hurl themselves at prime US. and Canadian targets.
 They will fire no weapons, drop no bombs. But they'll test to the limit the resources of NORAD, the North American Air Defense Command.
 From headquarters at Cobra do Springs, the NORAD Conn mander, Gen. Laurence s. Kuter, will direct the interceptor air craft, the anti-aircraft missile sta- tions and the supporting installa- tions that have been woven into the continental defensive network
 Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, Air Force Chief of Staff, also planned to ob- serve activities from Syracuse.
 Air Force Secretary Eugene Zuckert and N. E. Haiaby, Ad- ministrator of the Federal Avia. tion Agency arranged to observe the operation from the northeast ern regional headquarters of the Air Defense Command at Han cock Field, Syracuse, NY.
 Halaby has put out an order banning flying by non-partici- pating civil aircraft during the 12-hour exercise period.
 This was necessary for safety reasons, he said. Enemy" jam ming tactics may put out of conn mission many of the radio navi- gation aids upon which civil api- ation depends.
 Some 250. 900 members of the US. Air Force, Army and Navy and of canada's Air Force will take part. Operations will range over an area of about IA million square miles.

Nixon Expected Declare Himself Out of 1864 Presidential Race

LOS ANGELES R - Richard Nixon will f1atly declare himself out of the 1864 Presidential race within the next few weeks, a Nixon source said Thursday night.
 The source, who asked not to be identified, told newsrmen at a private gathering: 'fMr. Nixon feels that there are no possible conditions under which he would be candidate for President"
 The source said the fcGmer Vice President also held these views:
 l. President Kennedy probably will be unbeatable in 1864; his only real problem in winning re- election would be an economic recession, and if the United States should go to war, his reelection would be certain.
 2. Probable COP candidates will be Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York or Sen. Barry Gold water of Arizona-or a combina-, ton of both.
 3. Nixon plans to do very little campaigning for Governor of California during the rest of 1861 and definitely will not permit party leaders from outside to stump California for him with the possible exception of former President Dwight Eisenhower
 Nixon, defeated in the 1860 Presidential election, stated at 9 recent news conference that ne would serve California's full four-year term if elected.

 On July Fourth

From a sky tinged with patches of blue, and hay sun, eight mem bers of the Anchorage National Guard Parachute Club completed total of IA successful jumps from the Cessna ITO piloted by John Warren as the stellar attraction of the Fourth of July celebration held here Tuesday.
 With the exception of two jumps, the men executed 5-second and 15- second delayed jumps and several static line jumps, all landing on or near the target drop zone on Near Island.
