It's Moving Day in Juneau: Mansion Goes GOP By LAEL MORGAN News-Miner Staff Writer JUNEAU Special) Gov, Walter J. Hickel and his family began moving into the Alaska governor's mansion from the Baranof Hotel this afternoon. Outgoing Gov. William A. an and his wife Neva meanwhile were moving from the mansion into the Baranof Hotel.

They had been packing steadily for two days. The Egans said they plan to remain at the Baranof for the next two weeks. They have said nothing of their plans after that. The swearing in of Gov, Hickel was officially identified as the "inauguration" today, although other inaugural events such as the formal ball will not be held until Jan. 14.

It took place in the Superior Court chamber of the Capitol Building on schedule at noon in spite of a general power outage occurring at 10:25 a.m. and caused by winds exceeding 100 miles an hour. Asked for comment on additional cabinet appointments. Hickel said today: "I may have some more names to announce at the end of the week, or soon, but I'm not going to do it in a great hurry." As of today he has made two appointments. Republican state committee chairman Bob Davenny says finding the right men for the cabinet posts is no easy task.

"A lot of the men we'd like are $50,000 a year men and it's not easy to ask them to take a $20.000 a year.job. We're looking for good men and we're not going to stick as strictly to party as some might like." Davenny figures approximately 200 appointive positions are to be filled. For the Democrats, the whole week has gone like a soap opera. Mrs. Egan's mother died, and the father of one of Egan's staff men died.

Another staffer had to fly south to visit an ailing mother. Then last night Floyd Guertin, commissioner of administration, was hospitalized by an attack that has yet to be diagnosed. As of noon, most of the outgoing governor's staff will be out of work. The Hickel administration has asked Egan's secretarial staff to remain on the job at least another two weeks. Hickel said this morning he hopes about seven commissioners will also stay on for the transition period.

Last night more than 200 Democratic faithfuls turned out at a dinner honoring Gov. Egan and Secretary of State Hugh Wade. Spirits were good and the mood was light. "We've got so many friends here, Bill. I don't see how we lost," quipped Wade as he surveyed the crowded Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.

Egan voiced his thanks and pledged himself to the role of "loyal BLM Forum A public forum on land management problems in Alaska will be held in the cafeteria of Lathrop High School, Wednesday at p.m., sponsored by the.Mas- ka Conservation Society.

(AP) -Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 76, will enter Walter Reed Hospital this week for surgery' to remove his gall bladder, Eisenhower's office announced today. The five-star general will enter the hospital Thursday, although the exact day or time of the operation was not given. Eisenhower's office issued this statement: Bond Notes Come Before City Council Approval of the sale of million in bond anticipation notes is expected to come from a special meeting of the City Council tonight. The lew notes will redeem a like amount of notes that will fall due Dec.

14. City Manager Wally Droz asked for the special meeting tonight so that sale arrangements could be made by that dale. Anticipation notes are sold when interest rates are high on the bond market. The notes for which approval is asked tonight are for a Municipal Utilities System bond issue, and will be due in July, 1967. The council will hold a public hearing on the ordinance authorizing the note sale.

The ordinance was advanced at last Monday's regular council meeting. A work session after the spe-, cial meeting will consider dog control-- the hands of the city but now a borough responsibility-- and policy guidelines for 1967. Heiress Leaves Seventh Husband PARE (AP) Seriously ill, Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton arrived Sunday' night en route to get a Mexican divorce after reportedly settling more than' $3 million on her seventh husband Laotian Prince Raymond Doan Vinh Na Champas- sak. She is expected to leave today for New York. Miss Hutton, 54, married the prince, 49, two years ago in Mexico.

rieht after the turn of the year." Eisenhower underwent surgery and also suffered a heart attack while he was president, and in the fall of 1965 he suffered a heart attack while vacationing in Augusta, Ga. He was hospitalized for several weeks then first at an Army base in Georgia and later at Walter Reed. Eisenhower checked in at Walter Reed for an overnight physical examination about 10 days ago. It is assumed that he received the advice of doctors for the gall bladder removal at that time! Eisenhower's military aide, Brig. Gen.

Robert said his office would be busy today canceling appointments beyond Thursday. Eisenhower expects to keep appointments Tuesday evening and Wednesday in New York City for a football Hall of Fame dinner and a luncheon for a business group. Eisenhower has been at his office on the Gettysburg College campus regularly each day since the last Walter Reed checkup. Gen. Schulz said that if Eisenhower was suffering any physical discomfort during this period he had given no outward sign of it.

Eisenhower reported to his office at 8:25 a.m. today and expected to put in a full day of writing, looking over manuscripts, and answering mail. SANTA OUS Winds Hammer Southeast JUNEAU (AP) Winds of more than 115 miles per hour tore another section of roof from the Alaska Steamship warehouse Sunday night, causing damage estimated at some $35,000. Two weeks ago, Alaska Steam lost a 200-foot section of thereof in 100-mile-per-hour winds. The section torn loose Sunday night, measured some 35 by 70 agent Dave Reischl, who made the damage estimate, said.

Reischl said the new damage would not affect Alaska Steam's freight operations. The Juneau Fire Department said its wind gauge atop the municipal building registered gusts in excess of 100 knots during the continued this morning. The Juneau Police Department had no reports of other damage, nor any reports of injuries. High winds continued in Valdez last night, but no more damage was added to the amount the town sustained in Friday's storm. The Wyatt Motel intheoldtown was opened up to some of the dozen families left without homes when their trailers were blown over.

Some families are being housed in private residences. Last night the City Council and Valdez Mayor Walter Day held an emergency meeting with Don Lowell of Civil Defense. Jack Coleman of the Red Cross, and Robert Butler, head of the Small Business Administration in Alaska. It was reported at the meeting that Valdez could not be named a disaster area because $350,000 damage was not done to public facilities. However, Butler said the SBA, for its purposes, could declare Valdez a disaster area, and those who lost trailers will be able to get loans to replace them at three per cent.

Police declined to reveal what method they will use to enforce city and state laws against gambling in Fairbanks but promised to do all they could with what resources they have "to stay on top of They indicated they might recommend to the city council that the liquor licenses of establishments which violate gambling and othe laws be revoked.

(Red) Boucher, Fairbanks mayor, said this morning the city fathers plan to do all they can to eliminate vice in Fairbanks. Boucher said that although gambling, go-go girls, and other events are serious in themselves, the things which might accompany them are even more serious-such as narcotics traffic. Boyd Adsit.

special agent in charge of Federal Bureau of Investigation activities in Alaska, said this morning the FBI had no specific information on Fairbanks' numbers game. "The FBI ran and would investigate gambling where there is an intra-state angle," Adsit said. However, Adsit indicated the FBI is interested in intra-state gambling from an "intelligence" point of view and is asking the agent in charge in Fairbanks to look into the matter. John C. Flannigan, chief of the Anchorage Police Department, was asked about the extent of gambling activities there.

Police here had indicated when they were informed of Fairbanks' numbers game that the people behind the game might be the same as those behind Anchorage gambling. Anchorage police have made several arrests during the past couple of weeks of people selling football pool tickets, Flannigan said, and indicated they have made some arrests on Anchorage numbers games. Flannigan said Anchorage police are aware there are numbers games there and believes they know pretty well the method of operation of the game and the people involved. "It's just a local game here," Flannigan said. "We try and keep on top of it," Lloyd Peck, head of the intelligence division for the U.S.

City Manager Wally Droz, in reporting he had received the letter, said nothing happened at Saturday's City Council executive session that could be connected with the resignation development. The executive session had been called to explore what action the city fathers would take in regard to a numbers game operating in Fairbanks. Jeffries' letter said: "I hereby tender resignation as acting city attorney as soon after Jan.

1, 1967, as can be done in such manner as to best insure proper legal representation in the city." Jeffries, a former assistant district attorney for the state, took the job Aug. 24. He ac- 1 cepted it in an acting rather than a permanent capacity. He succeeded attorney Dallas Phillips, who resigned after Councilman John Huber threatened a lawsuit when he was asked to leave a Public Utilities Board meeting. Phillips had rendered the opinion Huber had no special rights.

Jeffries' letter is to be read at tonight's City Council meeting. Contacted just before he went into court this morning, Jeffries declined to comment on his resignation. Gloomy Blackout Ends JUNEAU (AP) Walter J. Hickel was sworn into office today as Alaska's first elected Republican governor. A power failure which blackened the capital for over an hour ended just 13 minutes before the ceremony.

Before a hushed crowd in the superior courtroom on the fifth floor of the state capitol building, Hickel took the oath of office from Associate Justice John H. Dimond of the State Supreme Court. With his hand resting on a family Bible given to him by his son Ted on Christmas, 1963, Hickel pledged to uphold his office under the provisions of the state constitution. Hickel's attractive and two of their six sons Karl, 4, and Joseph, 12, watched the ceremony from just a few feet away, as did the new governor's brother, Vern, and his wife, Madeline. Also watching from close by was William A.

Egan, the Democrat who guided Alaska's destinies from the moment statehood was proclaimed on Jan. 3 1959, until the moment Hickel took his oath of office. Hickel defeated Egan by a margin in the Nov. general election, ending a monopoly Democrats have had on Alaska's top elective offices since statehood. Hickel's running mate as secretary' of state, Keith H.

Miller, took his oath of office from Justice Dimond first, then Hickel was sworn in. Among the 100 or more persons crowded into the courtroom were 44 Anchorage residents who played key roles in Hickel's election campaign. They chartered an aircraft to Juneau to be present for the ceremony. An hour and 15 minutes before (See GO I ERXOR Page 7) Proposal Rejected; Strike Continues VANCOUVER, B.C.
