Pxge 6, Dally SHka Sttfca, Alaska. Rfeaday, Candidates Release Income Tax Returns ANCHORAGE (AP) The leading candidates in the state's gubernatorial race have released their federal income tax returns to an Anchorage newspaper. Democrat Steve Cowper, a Fairbanks lawyer, in 1985 had income of only $14,728 and he paid taxes of $2,440, the Anchorage Daily News reported in a copyright story Sunday. It was a year in which Cowper got by on savings because he had little opportunity to earn a living while running for office, he said. The returns show Republican Arliss Sturgulewski, a state senator from Anchorage, used tax shelters to pay no federal tax on income of more than $100,000 in 1984, but her statements from the four previous years showed she paid a total of $59,000 on income of $303,000, the newspaper reported.

Cowper's running mate, Lt. Gov. Steve McAlpine said he would release his federal returns for 1982 through 1985, but Terry Miller, Sturgulewski's running mate, could not be reached Saturday, the newspaper reported. Cowper and Sturgulewski said they would continue to release their annual tax statements while in office. Sturgulewski also has said that if elected she would put her considerable holdings in a blind trust.

The Daily News had asked the candidates only for their 1985 returns. Cowper released his but Sturgulewski had won Internal Revenue Service Search tor Juneau Teen Is Called Off JUNEAU (AP) Alaska State Troopers have called off the search for a 17-year-old Juneau boy missing since Sunday and have turned their attention to reports that the teen might be in hiding. Gilbert Charles was last seen early Sunday when he left a drinking party in the woods by the Mendenhall River. Lt. Roger McCoy said four days of searching failed to turn up any sign of Charles.

He also said there were reports that Charles might have left the search area. Volunteers in rubber rafts and a kayak joined the search for about five hours Thursday, combing the banks of the Mendenhall River. McCoy said troopers received four calls Thursday night and Friday morning reporting that Charles was still alive and seen since Sunday at various locations around Juneau. "It's real hard to substantiate these calls. People are saying they saw him getting on the bus, things we can't follow up," McCoy said.

McCoy said that if Charles is still alive, the publicity about the search may have made him too scared to come forward. McCoy said the investigation will now focus on the boy's friends, who might have information that could lead to locating him if he is hiding. Fugitive Caught ANCHORAGE (AP) One of two inmates who escaped from the Palmer Correctional Facility last week surrendered Saturday in Soldotna, the Alaska State Troopers reported. Kenneth B. Lindsley of Nenana called Soldotna troopers from a grocery store and asked to be picked up, said troopers spokesman Paul Edscorn.

He was taken to the Wildwood Pre-Trial Facility in Kenai. Lindsley had been serving a five-year sentence in Palmer for manslaughter. He escaped with John K. Phillips, 27, of Nome, on Thursday. Phillips was serving a four-year sentence for burglary and theft.

He remained at large. They escaped the Palmer facility in a 1970 pickup truck. They were hauling garbage to a dump behind the prison when they escaped. Killer Hunted ANCHORAGE (AP) A woman was stabbed to death at an Anchorage hotel late Saturday, police reported. Witnesses reported hearing the woman scream as she staggered into a hallway of the Midtown Hotel shortly after teh stabbing.

Officers late Saturday were seeking a heavy-set man armed with a knife, he said. The victim had not been identified. extensions and has until Oct. 15 to file hers. She said she will release the 1985 return when it is filed, while Cowper, following her lead, agreed to release earlier tax statements.

The returns contain few surprises, the newspaper reported. They largely reflect what already is known through published interviews and conflict-of- interest reports filed with the Alaska Public Offices Commission. Sturgulewski's net worth exceeds $1 million. Her tax statements show she is a serious player of the stock market. "Good, sound advice" from brokers more than personal skill, is her secret to success in the stock market, she said.

Sturgulewski is an accountant and came into money after she and late husband, Bernard, began buying and selling property in southcentral Alaska in the 1960s, she said. Her husband was killed in a 1968 plane crash. Cowper is described by family and friends as a man who cares little about money or possessions. "I have always considered experiences more important than possessions," he said in an interview earlier this year. Oil Pipeline Back on Job ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) After a nearly 32-hour shutdown caused by problems with a pump station cleaning device, the trans-Alaska oil pipeline was returned to operation over the weekend, officials said.

Several pieces on the cleaning device, known as a "scraper pig," dislodged from the main body, forcing officials of Alyeska Pipeline Service the operators of the pipeline, to shut down the operation, said company spokesman John Ratterman. Workers had to remove the scraper pig pieces from the internal piping of Pump Station No. 10, about 30 miles north of Paxson, before the pipeline could be re-started Saturday evening, he said. A thermal probe damaged by pieces of the device be replaced later, he added. Scraper pigs are sent through the pipeline on a regular basis, Ratterman said.

The crude oil was moving at a daily, rate of about 750,000 barrels when the pipeline was re-started Saturday, but design provided it would flow at the normal 1.8 million-barrel daily rate within a few hours of the re-start, Ratterman said. Knapp Puzzled By Nordale Resignation GOP Asks Court for Change in Ballot Label ANCHORAGE (AP) The Alaska Republican Party asked the state Supreme Court on Friday to delete the label Republican Moderate after the name of state senate candidate Ray Metcalfe on the November general election ballot. The GOP filed an emergency motion asking that Superior Court Judge Brian Shortell's ruling that Metcalfe and his maverick party label be left intact. The Republicans claim Metcalfe is trying to confuse the voters with his independent label in his race against Republican Jan Faiks and Libertarian Jacob Levine for the south Anchorage senate seat. Metcalfe lost a hotly contested primary battle to Faiks in 1982.

Faiks survived a bitter primary challenge from Arndt von Hippel last month. Metcalfe said Friday until the GOP comes up with a better name, he'll stick with his choice. "Before I concede that name they'll have to come up with another one that accurately reflects my beliefs," Metcalfe said. "I'm not a Democrat so I couldn't use that. And I'm not a Libertarian.

"I came up with the name Republican Moderate because it explains where my beliefs are based. I found it necessary to make a break with leadership of the Republican party and run on my own ticket." His attorney, Jon Wiederhold, said he doesn't think the GOP will win the appeal, but he's willing to argue it. "If they want to go to court, it's their right since it's their nickel," he said. "I personally will continue to believe that people like Mr. Metcalfe have the right to express their political views in a fashion that suits them." JUNEAU (AP) Revenue Commissioner Mary Nordale's resignation over a bond issue dispute puzzles the man she named as her foe in the disagreement, but Nordale says she has no other reason to quit.

Nordale announced her resignation Friday, saying she could not live with delays in a $38 million bond issue that she said was being held back by Transportation Commissioner Dick Knapp. The bond issue is to pay for a parking garage already under construction at Anchorage International Airport. "When you don't agree with the policy, you leave," Nordale said. She said the bond question was the only thing that prompted her to quit. Knapp disagreed with Nordale's conclusion that a delay might hurt the state, and said he was surprised she resigned over what he called a "professional disagreement." "This bothers me because I hate to see someone who has something to give the state throw in the towel over something like this," Knapp said.

"I'm sorry the commissioner did that." Nordale said Gov. Bill Sheffield overruled her objections to the delay because he is Knapp's friend. The governor had no comment Friday on the resignation nor on Nordale's comments. No acting commissioner has been named to take Nordale's place. She said she will meet with her staff, then recommend a replacement to Sheffield.

Nordale said she plans to pack up and return to Fairbanks, but will not return to her private taw practice. The bond dispute dates back to April, when Nordale, and Knapp disagreed over the type of bonds that should be issued. Knapp asked Nordale not to send out a standard statement about the issuance to bond rating agencies Friday, as she had planned. He said he wanted her to wait until the dispute could be put before the state's bond committee, which is to meet Tuesday. Nordale sits on the committee, along with the commissioners of administration and commerce and economic development Nordale resigned in response, saying the delay would jeopardize plans to issue the bonds in October.

The state borrowed $25 million to begin construction of the garage, and must pay tha money back by Nov. 21. A delay would mean renegotiating that loan, and that would cost the state money. Nordale said Alaska cannot afford the added expense in light of its tough economic picture. "We're running into rising interest rates.

We're running into the new (federal) tax bill. We're running into a lot of difficulties that could cause problems. And I don't want to be responsible," Nordale said. Knapp said the bonds will be issued before the $25 million comes due. The dispute will not affect the construction schedule for the garage, he said.

Nordale said the bond sales also would fund repairs at the Fairbanks airport, but Knapp said Fairbanks was not included in the financial package. ANCHORAGE (AP) Jury selection was scheduled to begin today in Fairbanks in the murder trial of John Bright, accused of first-degree murder in the slaying of Alaska Airlines pilot Robert Pfeil. Pfeil was ambushed and shot three times in October 1965 at an intersection near his south Anchorage home. Bright, accused of killing Pfeil for part of a $10,000 fee, won a change of venue to Fairbanks because of pre-trial publicity. Five men were charged with conspiring to kill Pfeil.

Two have been convicted of murder. Former strip club operator Gilbert Pauole claims he arranged the killing for businessman Neil Mackay. Pauole has become a witness for the prosecution in return for a 20-year sentence. Mackay, once Pfeil's brother-in-law, is to be tried Dec. 1.

He and Pfeil had a long-standing feud that led to the murder contract, investigators claim. To Close Starrigavan Campground will be closed for the season Tuesday. Longevity Bonus Costly, Pioneers of Alaska Told Here to Your Better Health Gov. Sheffield Endorses Cowper as Bestf or State JUNEAU Bill Sheffield endorsed fellow Democrat Steve Cowper for governor Friday, saying his former rival is the candidate who comes closest to his own beliefs on what is good for Alaska. Sheffield said he considered the interests of the state and of the Democratic party in deciding tp back Cowper, who won the party's endorsement over Sheffield in the primary election.

Both Cowper and Republican gubernatorial candidate Arliss Sturgulewski met with the governor several times over the last few weeks to hear his views, and, in Cowper's case, to decide what they could agree on. "I have discussed my perspective on what is in the best interest of all Alaskans with both candidates," Sheffield said in a prepared statement. "The candidate who has the best grasp of Alaska's complex issues, as well as the ability to carry forward a wide- ranging program to deal with the issues, is Steve Cowper, and I urge all Alaskans to join me in making him the next governor of Alaska." Sheffield said the issues he considered were support of a subsistence priority for rural residents, environmental protection, state-industry partnership in resource development, and protection of the Alaska Permanent Fund. 1 In a statement issued through press secretary David Ramseur, Cowper said: "We're pleased to have the governor's support. There were 25,000 Alaskans who voted for him and we hope they follow in the governor's footsteps and join our camp.

We also hope to attract the supporters of other candidates who did not prevail." Ramseur said Cowper hopes Sheffield will campaign on his behalf. "The governor's willing to help in a couple of areas, especially with rural voters," Ramseur said. "We expect he'll be doing some work in that area, though we haven't worked out the details on that yet." Sturgulewski also was campaigning in Fairbanks Friday, and her campaign officials said she could not be reached for comment. The other gubernatorial candidates are Joe Vogler, running for the Alaska Independence Party, and Libertarian Mary O'Brannon. Card of Thanks I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all my friends and family for the support and concern over my accident, with a special thanks to Taska for her love and support TomEIam JUNEAU (AP) More than 500 members of the Pioneers of Alaska, the state's largest senior citizens group, were to close a week-long meeting here Saturday after a lot of debate about state programs for the elderly.

They'll go home with a suggestion by Gov. Bill Sheffield that the longevity bonus may be too costly for the state to continue. The program sends $250 a month to each Alaskan over the age of 65. "That's $50 million a year and it's growing by 6 percent a year," Sheffield told the pioneers. Sheffield said the longevity bonus question appearing on the Nov.

4 election ballot will renew scrutiny of the program. Alaskans will be able to cast an advisory vote telling the Alaska Legislature which of two options for ending the longevity bonus program they prefer. The legislature can follow the vote or ignore it. The choices are a simple phase-out of the program over a long period, or a phase-out while the state offers an optional annuity program, funded with Alaska Permanend Fund dividends. Sheffield said he won't tell people how to vote, but said he's personally against the annuity program.

Under it, the state would invest the dividends of people who wanted to take part, then pay them interest from the investment after they turn 65. "It leaves too many variables open. It's too rigid," Sheffield said of the annuity program, also known as the "Senate plan." The annuity would not provide for withdrawing in. of emergency, arid the private sector probably could set up a better annuity program than the state could for those people interested, Sheffield said. The Pioneers of Alaska has not taken any official stance on the issue.

ANCHORAGE (AP) Forn-'-rNorth Slope Borough official Irving Igtanloc pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of tax evasion and agreed to help officials investigating charges of corruption among other borough officials. In exchange for the guilty plea, the federal government will drop three charges of racketeering and one charge of wire fraud against Igtanloc, said U.S. Attorney Michael Spaan. The government also will recommend that Igtanloc receive a sentence of no more than three years, Spaan said. Igtanloc's indictment May 31 has been the only visible result of an investigation into borough finances that has lasted more than a year.

Igtanloc, the borough's former public works director, will testify before the investigating grand jury as it continues its inquiry into alleged financial wrongdoing during the administration of former Borough Mayor Eugene Brower, Spaan said. "He has also agreed to cooperate with our investigation and promised to give true testimony. We did agree that Mr. Igtanloc does not have to testify against any of his family members," Spaan said. The plea agreement was accepted Friday morning at a hearing in U.S.

District Court. Igtanloc was charged with evading taxes in 1982 and 1983, earning wages "substantially in excess" of his tax returns, which showed that he and his wife earned about 888,000 in 1982 and $83,000 in 1983. The investigation, conducted by Spaan's office, the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service, began after Brower was defeated by George Ahmaogak in the 1984 mayoral election. Ahmaogak ordered an audit of borough finances, and the report showed that Brower let millions of dollars in questionable contracts during his final days as mayor. Spaan said the investigation is far from over and said other cases may be presented to the 26-person grand jury.

By Dr. Michael Young, D.C. DONTRUN YOURSELF DOWN You often hear people say, "I am run down." Why not carry the analogy of the body mechanism to a watch? When a watch is run down and doesn't work right we have it adjusted. You can do the same for the human body through chiropractic. The result in both cases is very much the same.

The watch and body are both made up of hundreds of tiny parts, aD of which must be meshed together in perfect coordination and balance. The mainspring of the watch is its source of energy. The source of vital energy of the body ties in the brain and the nervous system. Shock, fatigue, a fall or injury any one of hundreds of causes, can throw the spine out of balance interfering-with the proper transmission of nerve impulses to the various parts of the body. i It's the chiropractor's job to correct the spinal disturbance which hinders or obstructs the proper I channeling of nerve impulses.

If you are run down or don't fee) good, get your spine and nervous system checked soon. If you have any questions regarding Chiropractic, write to: Dr. Young, P.O. Box 2444, Sitka, 99S35.
