There are also boats and outboard motors available for rental daily at Wyatt's for those who wish to "go solo" on their fishing expeditions. (News-Miner Staff Photo) Moonman Armstrong Has 39th Birthday SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) Moon explorer NeD A. Armstrong celebrates his 39th birthday today with his 18 quarantine pals and only 26 candles for his cake.

Armstrong and his Apollo 11 colleagues Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins were in their 16th day of isolation intended to keep possible lunar bugs from getting loose on earth. AH remained in excellent health. If no illnesses turn up or no dangerous organisms appear in the rocks the astronauts brought home, they 11 be returned to the outer world next Monday.

With them are 16 other technicians, a cook and two rock researchers accidentally exposed to moon dust. The cook, Jesse Stewart, said he would bake "a tegular cake" starting from scratch. He said he wouldn't use a cake mix because "then it would be some- body else's cake." It will be vanilla with vanilla king. Stewart reported a thorough search of the quarantine quarters turned up only 36 candles. In another part of the building, scientists and geologists found black silt and a few moon chunks splashed with colorful crystals when they opened the second, and last, box of lunar surface material gathered by Armstrong and Aldrin during their moon stay.

Chamber Needs More Homework The Chamber of Commerce of Fairbanks has some homework of its own to do before It should approach the City of Fairbanks for mote funding for tourism activities. That message came to the chamber's directors Monday from Al Parrish, a member of the chamber's tourism and convention committee as well as a director of the chamber.

Parrish was asked last week to initiate a study in the tourism committee that would show Just how much visitors and tourists contributed to the City of Fairbanks in the form of sales taxes. The city this yeai had refused the chamber's request for funds for tourism promotion. Parrish told the directors yesterday that these needed facts on taxes are being compiled by the subcommittee, but other items will also be reviewed and studied by that committee prior to its final report. Parrish said the tourism committee would meet again this week and would pursue four areas of work that that committee found to be obviously lacking In the present operation of the chamber and its tourism committee. Those areas, he said, were: lack of good organization in the chamber itself and its tourism committee; lack of unity between the chamber, the city and Alaskaland; need for better education of local people in the true value of the tourist and visitor dollars that come into this and proper promotion of the City of Fairbanks by the city and the chamber itself.

Under education Parrish said many things can be done such as conducting a school for people In the service business to better acquaint them with the needs of visitors, creation of an information sheet that can be distributed to service outlets(like service stations, restaurants, etc.) and would give visitors guides to attractions in the Fairbanks area. With a high rate of turnover in employes In Fairbanks, Parrish pointed out, many people who come into contact with visitors do not know where to send those visitors for the best and most authentic attractions Fairbanks has to offer. A simple fact sheet available to any local business would be great service and an easy one to provide. Parrish said the tourism committee would draw up such a document when it compiled its final report for the chamber directors. fairbanfa, Alaska, Daily ToMday, Auflurt 5, WATCHING AND WAITING-State and local officials awaited further reports on Chena River readings this morning at the city disaster office.

Maj. James Chichester-Clark, the province's Protestant prime minister, met with his cabinet for two hours and told newsmen: "The government does not want to adopt extreme measures unless the situation demands it. I have no intention of introducing a curfew, and I am reluctant to call in British troops." Then later in the night widespread violence erupted again as bands of Protestants and Catholics fought, fires were set and police battled the waning mobs. At least 21 persons, including a policeman, were reported injured and a dozen arrested. Another 200 were injured during the weekend, and more than 50 arrested.

On Crumlln Road, a street of Roman Catholics bordering a Protestant area, residents emerged from their homes with sticks and table legs and lit fires on street corners to ward oft Protestant attacks. A house and two stores in the area were set afire; the firemen were met with fire bombs and rocks. In another area, gasoline bombs exploded among police attempting to break up bands of youths. Street barricades burst into flames. Although Chichester-Claik said police chiefs were confident the constabulary could control the situation, Bernadette Devlin, the militant young Catholic leader, demanded that Home Secretary James Callaghan order senior British officers to take control of the constabulary.

Miss Devlin, 22, who recently was elected to the British Parliament from a Catholic district of Northern Ireland, also demanded that Parliament be recalled from its summer vacation to take up the situation in Northern Ireland. There was no indication from London, however, that the British government would step in. The six counties of Northern Ireland, while a part of the United Kingdom, run their domestic affairs, and London is extremely reluctant to intervene. Unlike the rest of Ireland, which is predominantly Catho- lic, Protestants are. in the majority in the northern counties, and Protestant-Catholic enmity is traditional.

Demonstrations last fall against alleged anti- Catholic discrimination resulted in a militant Protestant reaction, and violence between the two religious groups has been frequent since. Study Set to Determine Best GVEA Energy Source Bradner Feels Educational TV Program Could Start This Fall WASHlNGTON-State Rep. Mike Bradner has expressed confidence that an experimental program for television communication by satellite Into three isolated Alaskan cities could be operational by late fall. The program would bring educational television 1 into Kodiak, Nome, and Fort Yukon, as well as upgraded telephone services, and would supply 24-hour telephone communication to Fort Yukon for the first time. Bradner said a state delegation and members of the Alaska congressional delegation met with officials of COMSAT, RCA, NASA, and the Public Broadcast Corporation on Thursday and Friday.

Among the state delegation in Washington are Commissioner of Education Cliff Buck, State Director of Communications; Ed GlotfHdty, City Manager of Nome, Bob Schtek, of the Nome School A nchorage Chamber upports FairbanksLoadingPrivileges Board, and Bradner, representing the legislative counc il. Bradner said the final program wfll probably follow fairly closely a proposal offered by Sen. Mike Gravel to use an existing NASA satellite ATS-1 on an experimental basis. "Both RCA and COMSAT seemed in agreement that all parties concerned would benefit from a period of experimentation in Alaska with telephone and television communication by satellite," Bradner said. "The pilot program for Kodiak, Nome, and Fort Yukon would in essence provide a shake-down period, and innble the state, COMSAT, and RCA to be able to adequately assess the cost and technical feasibility of utilizing satallite's almost immediately to build a bush communications system.

Bradner continued: "One of the greatest benefits of using satellite is the fact that television can be bounced off the satellite and back to small rural villages. "This would allow specialized educational TV to be brought to administrative machinery going on short notice. The Fairbanks legislator said that Robert Van Houte, Alaska Education Association Executive Director, had been with the delegation in Toronto, and that he had expressed strong support of the experiment. The best source of future electrical energy for Golden Valley Electric Association will be studied by an engineering firm that is yet to be selected. Bob Hufman, manager of G.V.E.A., said the association's board of directors last week authorized a $15,000 base load generation source study to begin immediately as soon asa qualified firm could be retai ned.

The board of iJfreotors of Golden Valley at Its July 28 meeting authorized that study to investigate three possible power sources. They are: 1. An addition to the Healy power plant with another transmission line into the Fairbanks area; 2. A new plant in Fairbanks area that could use residual fuel refined by the future Atlantic Richfield refinery that will be constructed here; and 3. Construction of a transmission line between Fairbanks and Beluga (across Cook Inlet from Anchorage) where electrical power will be generated by a new gas-fired turbine.

All three possible plants would be close to sources of fuel. The Hcaly plant is a mine mouth facility where coal is readily available. The Beluga site is near natural gas supplies. Hufman, acting manager of Golden Valley until he was named permanent manager on June 23, said the old power plant in' Illinois Street (commonly called the "F.E. plant" was closed down and "the door June l.Theplantwill not be dismantled until next spring, however.

Hufman said the plant was completely drained and closed up. It would take an estimated two weeks to get it back in operation if the need arose, he said. Golden Valley has on order eight deisel electric sets capable of 11,000 kilowatts of power. These eight power units will be in Fairbanks by early fall, Hufman said. The old F.E.

plant, which Golden Valley purchased several years ago, was capable of 9,500 kilowatts, the G.V.E.A. manager said.

That support came from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce directors at their Friday meeting. The same letter notifying local chamber directors of the favorable action on Pan American's route contained requests for support on two resolutions passed by the Anchorage chamber.

One of those resolutions asks the national Congress to retain the oil depletion allowance at its present per cent and not reduce it to the 20 percent being contemplited. The other resolution the Anchorage dumber ot Commerce leaden seek support for is a policy for spending the bonus monies Jhat the State of Alaska will receive in the September oil lease sale on the North Slope. The Anchorage chamber's stand is similar to the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce position. That is that the funds be invested and only interest monies from those "sound" investments be used by the state. The position of the two bodies also calls for a detailed projection of the economic future of Alaska.

The Anchorage and Fairbanks Chambers of Commerce are planning a second joint meeting sometime in late August or early September. The first such meeting between the two bodies was held in Fairbanks last spring. Action on the requests of the Anchorage chamber for support on their was put off pending a recommendation by the chamber's legislitton committee. world," he added. Bradner also said that approximately $350,000 was available to Alaska under the Public Broadcasting Act, and that in the pilot program a ground station from the Phillipines would be relocated to Alaska.

In addition receiving antennas would have to be installed at Kodiak, Nome, and Fort Yukon. "This equipment is fairly expensive," parties to the experiment would absorb these costs as a consideration of the valuable experience gained. "We need a knowledge and experience with satellite communications as ultimately this will be the only answer for a large land-mass like Alaska, and this experience will Inable us to determine our needs and timing 1 moving in to such a system.
