Alaska Capital Move Estimated 10 Cost S262, 100000

JUNEAU lP = A group of en- gineers and architects, employed privately and by the state and federal governments. estimated last night it would cost S262, 100000 to move the capital of Alaska
 Tie engineers and architects, using the provisions of the capital relocation proposal, Initiative No. 1, as a guide, selected the area just north of Willow as the site for q new capital.
 The total cost, the engineers and architects said in a written report made public last night, would in- clude site preparation; capital buildings and park; residential, commercial, civic utilities, hospi- tai, church and school buildings; a transportation and distribution center, an aviation center, primary highway links: streets and alleys. utilities; and provisional fees, su- pervision and contingencies
 The new capital city, as out lined in the stud, would consist of three separate tracts of land, an actual capital site. transporta- tion and distribution site and a capital airport site.
 The engineer-ar e D orr said the total cost would be borne by the state, the federal govern ment and private business, tht states share S148, TOO, ,O00, the fed eral share s19, 100000 and privat, business share S94,9O0,000
 The study envisions a capita city with population of approx imately 10000 residents.
 The 37-page report said indirec costs of constructing new capi. tai city would probably run around $50 million, but this figure was not included in the S262, 100000 estimate.
 The report was prepared by members of the Juneau Chapter of the Alaska Society of Professional Engineers; the Juneau section of the American Society of Civil En- gineers; and Juneau representa- tives of the American Institute of Architects.
 In a statement of purpose, the engineers and architects said:
 ssIt was not the purpose of this study to argue whether the state capital should or should not be re- located to a new city to be con- structed somewhere in Alaska.
 Its sole purpose was to arrive at a professional, objective and honest estimate of the probable costs of such a decision and what sources would have to be drawn upon to finance the project

Fishermen Charge Ap;oeasenent By Federal Govt.

KODIAK tR-The federal gov ernment has adopted an attitude of appeasement toward Russian encroachment on Alaskan fishing waters. Kodiak fishermen charged at a public hearing before Under secretary of State William Her =rington and Gov William Egan.
 Approximately 100 fishermen were on hand to tell how they are losing crab fishing gear and buoys 30 miles southeast of Kodiak, as a result of Russian traWling op- erations. By Alaskan law, Ameri- can fishermen must Use crab pots ln their operations.
 Gov Eean presided at the some times stormy meeting.
 Oscar Dyson. crab fisherman and member of the Alaska Board of Fish and Game, charged the federal government with contin- ually backing off under Russian pressure. Its appeasement.' he said. We've got to take stand somewhere v
 Egan expressed similar feelings and told Harrington the state shas no fear whatsoever of the Rus sians or Japanese z
 He said the problem encountered in the Kodiak fishery is not just an Alaska problem "It's nation problem that's going to have to be faced on all our coast.'
 Jim Jones, skipper of the Kit ovia, said he had lost nine pots and was convinced the Russian trawlers had dragged over them
 The Russians with their large vessels can fish out'' an area and then move elsewhere, but Alaska fishermen must continue to rely on their local fishery, he said.
 Its perfectly obvious" to the Russians that Alaskans are trying to maintain a fishery off Kodiak but they have moved in anyway, said State Rep. Gil Jarvela, D. Kodiak, chief pilot for Kodiak Airways.
 Harrington, Assistant Undersec- retary of State for fisheries and wildlife, told the hearing national defense has top priority and the protests of Kodiak fishermen would receive sincere attention with full report made to Wash ington. He indicated the State Department would not favor ex- banding the three-mile limit to a continental shelf suggestion or 50-mile limit, as proposed by some fishermen.
 None of the score of fishermen testifying said that Russians yes sels were violating the three-mile international limit law, but their ships lowered in an area eight to 10 miles from shore. They esti- mated that about 35 Russians ships are in the Kodiak area today, al though as many as 1855 have been in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea this year.
 Gov. Egan concluding the hear ing said, "The federal government hasn't made an effort to get an agreement with Russia over fish ing right and that historically the Kodiak area was developed by American fishermen for king crab fishing.
 This morning Egan, Harrington, and a party of state and federal officials, accompanied by news men, left by plane to board the Coast Guard Cutter Storis to search out some of the Soviet fish ing vessels.

Who Can Count 10
BY Charles j. Livingston

Chicago (ANP) - II want a
referee who can count TO-"
That was Sonny Liston's reply
to a reporters question as to
whom he would prefer as the third
man in the ring for his heavy
weight title clash with champion
Floyd Patterson at Comiskey Park
here Sept. 25.
The bold comment by the hard
hitting Philadelphia challenger in
dicated he expected his fight with
Patterson to be the sort Of "knock
down, drag out" affair that the
prize ring has frequently witnessed
in the past.
Liston and Patterson, both
seemingly calm and confident, had
just finished signing official Him
ois Athletic Commission contracts
at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel for
the big fight, and Sonny was
quietly signing autographs when
the question was fired at him. He
was popular with the autograph
hunters, despite the fact that he
had been blackballed in New York
and maligned in the press because
of his past difficulties with the
law.
In fact, Liston was on a hot
seat at the press conference fol-
lowing the signing. But when
another scribe pressed him for
comment on the status Of his

of Philadelphia) and his relation
ship with Gus D'Amato, Patter-
sons pilot, Sonny cleverly hurd-
led the difficulty by remarldng
truthfully: Me and Patterson will
be fighting, not our managers"
Everybody in the room laughed
at the remark.

Maybe so. But, considering the addi-
tional numbers Of buses required to re-
place the streetcarS, we doubt it.
His plan, nevertheless, seems a rea-
Sonable solution under the circum-
stances. What remains now is to carry
it out. Mr.. Aitken says no money will be

priation rolls around on July l. Why
these funds were not sought earlier is
mystery too deep for us to fathom. Sure

The fact is, however that they were
not sought. So all that can be done now
is to proceed with the work as soon as
possible after July l. We trust the Engi-

this is done and that, in the process, he
sees that Director Aitken fulfillS his

Living Dangerously

DR.. Paul Dudley White, diStin-
guished heart specialist and ardent
advocate of physical fitness, has come
out in favor of living in either South
Ireland or South Italy-instead of South
Boston. DR.. White, who adheres to an
extraordinarily busy schedule at age
IS, has been dabbling in some hands
acroSst the-sea studies of the life expect
ancy of BoStonianS of Irish or italian
ancestry as compared with that of their
brothers or their forefathers in the
countries of origin. DR.. White finds,
and so reported at symposium held
here, that his Boston neighbors live
under much greater threat of high blood
pressure, coronary thrombosis and re-
lated ailments than their relatives
overseas. He blames it primarily on
push button living in the New England
city that is sometimes known as "Thc
Athens of America" No doubt DR..
White is on sound ground in fixing the
guilt Perhaps, though, he should attach
just a bit Of blame to the inordinate
zest for politics that ICONS the Boston

Ripe for the Senate

Attorney General Will Wilson of
Texas contends that note written some
months ago to Billie Sol Estes by an aide
to Vice President Johnson is evidence of
Potomac pressure" brought, presumably
by Mr.. JohnSon's office, on behalf of the
Texas tycoon. This is a charge, however
which finds no support on the face of
the note.
1t should be remembered that the
Texas Democratic primary, in which Mr.
Wilson is gubernatorial candidate, is
less than week away, and that one of
his chief opponents is John Connally
former assistant to Mr.. Johnson. More
over, Cliff Carter, the current assistant
who wrote the note in question, describes
it as nothing more than a routine
acknowledgment of letter from Mr.
Estes, requesting support for a certain
agricultural appointment. According to
Mr.. Carter, the requested recommenda-
tion was not made, nor was the appoint
ment. This scarcely seems to be an in
cident in the Estes scandals which
reflects adversely on the Vice President.
This does not apply, however, to the
Agriculture Department and its involve
ment in the multifarious Vaccinations
of the Estes case. There is ample evi-
dence Of wrongdoing in this respect to
justify thorough investigation of the
entire situation by Congress. The Texas
Attorney General said he moved into the
case in part because 1t deserved "a good
airing" and because he doubted that
anyone else would air it. His inveStiga-
tions, however, were related primarily
to possible violations of State law. The
suggestions Of concessions and favored
treatment by Federal officials make this
a matter of congressional responsibility

Gratis in Texas and Democratic ad-

Outsiders

Noted with interest and
mixed pleasure was your an
nouncement that the Com
missioners appointed Ray
mond c. Roberts as the next
District Fire Chief. This
seems an admirable action
from most points of view. His
qualifications for the job
seem excellent.
But the District resident
and taxpayer sees Mr.. Rob-
erts' appointment as another
in a long series of key District
jobs to persons who live out
side the District. All the
District taxpayer can do is
note it. We're governed by
Congressman who don't really
care about the District, and
by District Commissioners
who do care, but can do very
little for us.
With no District residence
requirement for employment
in the District Government,
the taxpayer loses in many
ways. The District taxpayer
foots about 80 per cent of the
District payroll but a good
percentage of this is lost be-
cause employees who live out
side the District pay their
taxes to Virginia and Mary
land. What is more import
ant is that we lose the full
time and devotion of en-
ployes whose interests in
District matters tend to cease
when the work day is over.
They are not full-time citi-
zens of the District.
Many examples of off-duty
policemen and firemen per-
forming important and even
heroic acts in times of neigh
borhood emergencies come to
mind. Many a District en-
ploye spends his or her free
time in social, cultural. reli-
gious and citizenship activi-
ties to the benefit of the Dis
trict. Many a District en-
ploye has been observed, un-
fortunately, moving to Mary
land or Virginia when a
colored family moves into his
neighborhood, even though
the colored family is Of such
caliber as to be a neighbor-
hood asset. When a District
employe moves, he very like
ly provides an incentive for
others to move also. If a Dis

it is not to be expected of
others whose ties to District
