 "It's a strange thing about a persons outlook, said Patterson in telephone interview with the Associated Press. When I meet a fighter at a weigh-in, or someplace else, like when I met Liston at the Boxing Writers dinner, they seem to me to be twice my size.
 Then when I get in the ring with them feel twice their size I've had that happen to me since my amateur days. It's always the same.
 ''Liston can say anything he wants but he's not going to scare me. Talk is cheap and means nothing. What happens in the ring is what counts. We'll see then"

Industrial q develo p ment in Alaska has been largely ignored by the Egan regime. This has reflected on the growth of the state and the economic stability of all Alaskans.
 Although we have the greatest commercial fisheries potential in the entire nation, lack of proper state management has continued the depletion of this resource, and the irresponsible seizure of Japanese fishing vessel beyond the three mile limit has multi piled the problems.
 Look at the petroleum indus try. While leasing and explora ton have been encouraged, the state has failed to give even lip service to potential investors who could develop production, refin- ing, and export, all at great profit to Alaska and it's citizens. On both state and federal lands, the new Alaska administration must exert the full power of this state to push this industry.
 We have over a million acres of land classified suitable for agricultural use, but of this great area only 25,000 acres are in cultivation while most of our agricultural n66uS are HIIpOTteu Our tourist industry is falling by wayside. Our mining industry is dead. As governor If Alaska and with Republican 1egis1a- ture, I pledge the development of our resources.
