LT. GOV. ROBERT W. WARD, appearing at the annual convention of the Pioneers of Alaska In Ketchlkan, arid Gov. Keith H.

Miller intends to re-submit to the next legislature his proposal for a Pioneers Home in Anchorage. Ward reminded his audience that the governor recommended last yew a $3 million bond issue for an Anchorage home, but the bill never was acted upon by the legislature. Ward also said that the bids for repair of the roof of the Sitka Pioneers Home will be opened on Oct. 21, and the work is scheduled to be under way by early November. The lietuenant governor also gave a progress report on the status of the renovation of the Sitka home.

He said the architect has submitted his schematic plans for the 5485,000 renovation project, and that designs will be finalized by the end of December. Work is to begin by the end of February or early March. The project will result In all residents of the home being accommodated in single or double occupancy rooms-eliminating all wards-with toilet and bath facilities for every two rooms. GOV. KEITH H.

MILLER today commented on the recent action of Alaska Mutual Savings Bank in reducing its interest rates for new home mortgages. Miller said, "I am very pleased with this action because my administration has long been concerned with the cost of housing. We ahn feel a deep obligation to provide a responsible rate of return for our over-all investment program which Is number one in the nation. "It is very difficult to achieve high investment performance and at the same time low interest rales," the governor said. "The substantial cut in interest rates," he continued, "will stimulate our housing industry and help homeowners while at the same time enable us to continue our present investment performance." Commissioner of Revenue George Morrison also commented on the action of the Alaska Mutual Savings Bank.

This is another example of the success of the Miller administration's financial policies, whereby we use the money for the benefit of present Alaskans and still have the funds for the use of future generations. SEN. TED Stevens announced today that Pat Soderberg, one of Alaska's most respected logging operators, has been appointed to chair the statewide Loggers for Stereos committee. Soderberg's operation is headquartered near Kake. It bone of the largest logging companies In Southeast Alaska and provides timber for Alaska Lumber and Pulp Company in Sttks.

Soderberg's firm began logging In Alaska during I960. He Is past president and presently on the Board of Directors of the Alaska Loggers Association. "1 am greatly pleased and honored to have Pat on my team," said Stevens. "We have worked together in Alaska and Washington, D.C. on matters of major concern.

I value his consultation. Pat Is respected by all members of the timber industry, employes and fellow operators." RALPH MILTON Anderson, American Independent Party Candidate for governor said recently: "These things I assert: when the government takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the man, the Integrity of the second man, and the moral autonomy of both. These things 1 propose: that government cease granting social and economic privilege to select Individuals and groups; that bureaucratic restrictions be removed from agriculture; that the Integrity of local governments be preserved and strengthened; that ana by elected to nrraw the State Cnaatltutlon to more marly conform to the limited Coastttutiooal, Republican Government as conceived by the Founding Fathers. Tbaae I recommend: that the legtstatun enact legislation, binding upon ttaelf, to annually review the aetlonsof the State Judicial system; that State Bureaus be reduced to necessary requirements In authoritative personnel, and their bureaucracies, that a sound and beneficial policy be adopted concerning industry to the benefit of ail- that State lands withdrawn from public use be returned to the people under the Homestead Plan with full mineral rights; that elementary and secondary education be exclusively the responsibility of local school boards. "These things I believe: that adequate protections from acts of aggression can only be effectively dealt with through swift and Just punishment of offenders; that the U.S.

(AP) Martin SHverthorn pulled an ear of corn from the stalk, peeled back a husk covered with a grey, moldy powder, and then crushed the kernels and corncob in his hand without effort That what the bHght has said. Ht was showtag the harm doM this year to eon Mdt from the Gulf of Mexico to the northern Gnat by a black fungus known as the Southern Corn Leaf blight. The VS. Agriculture Department announced Monday that the nation's bhghtdamaged crop Improved allghtty the final week of September and now is estimated at 44tMllJn) bushels. But the new estimate, as of field conditions on Oct.

1, represented a 13 per cent decline Researcher says aspirin is definite health hazard CHICAGO (AP) A surgeon-researcher says aspirin is i health hazard and should be sold only by prescription along with all other potent drugs. Dr. Rene Menguy, professor of surgery at the University of Chicago, said Monday It has long been known that aspirin can cau.se internal Weeding and sometimes death, yet It continues to be sold over the counter. Menguy told a press conference at the clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons there are no statistics on aspirin-related fatalities, but that he would guess there are 1,000 a year. About 1) million pounds of the drug are used each year in the United States.

Menguy and a colleague, Dr. Adele Mae Gottschalk, reported results of a study they made on the effects of aspirin on the stomachs of rats. They said aspirin reduces the protective mucous secretion in. the stomach which allows acid to penetrate its walls. Menguy, who has been study- ing the effects of aspirin for years, said physicians and the public do not always realize that aspirin can cause massive, sometimes lethal, internal bleeding.

He estimated that one out of every seven or eight patients who report to hospitals complaining of internal Weeding have the problem as a result of taking aspirin, although tens of thousands of people take the drug with no trouble. Menguy said the penon who takes aspirin only occasionally, as he does himself, ii km likely to develop serious bleeding problems than the chronic uaer, who takes four to six tablets a day over a long period. Aspirin users, particularly women, may develop gastric ulcers, he said. The best way to take aspirin, the surgeon advised, is with food. Aspirin should never be taken on an empty stomach, he said, and the wont time to take it is when suffering from a hangover, because alcohol increases the damaging effect.

fraei the reeotd crap of man tam 4 bUton mmud Injury. Martin SUrerthorn-he prefers to be ceded Martin- showed how the fungus, whose spores an carried by the wtad, first attacks the lower leaves of a con stalk, egg- shaped Utet, the fungus moves up the plant and penetrates through the husks into the com kernels. "As soon as it hits the leaves, the plant slows down Itt growth. The ears of corn won't go ahead and fill out," Martin said. ThU accounts for drops In production of as much as SO per cent reported by many farmers.

"One reason you have to harvest as quickly as Martin explained, "Is that the blight weakens the stalk. If the plant fills over, then the shelling machine won't pick it up." Another reason is to harvest before more damage is done, he said. Martin and his wife, Alice, farm SCO acres--mostly in corn --in this rich farming area about SO miles northwest of Indianapolis. This spring the crops were just getting a good start when a hailstorm ripped across the area, devastating a number of acres of com and some 10 acres' of cucumbers. Then twsed the corn crop through a.

two-month drought, only to see his ears of eon tun black with the silent, Agriculture experts we uncertain whether the bUght will survive the winter and make more devastating attacks next spring, nor do they know whether the black fungus "dust" is danger' ous to farmers working on the harvest Purdue University's agricultural extension service warned farmers in Indiana that while the fungus is not known, to be infectious to man, it could produce allergic reaction and result in chronic respiratory condition after repeated exposure. An agricultural bulletin has advised all farmers working in the blighted fields to purchase breathing masks. Meanwhile, Martin and his neighbors are waiting for completion of tests at Purdue attempting to determine whether blighted com can safely be fed to hogs and beef cattle. Asked what he will plant next year, Martin shrugged his shoulders and said, "There aren't going to be enough supplies of resistant varieties of seed. One outfit flew its equipment to Hawaii to start producing seed com there for the coming season." Growing of ought-resistant and com has also been stepped up In Mexico and South America this winter.

Nonetheless, a Purdue bulletin add those varieties will draw "premium prices" next season. Reluctant to speculate on blight damage to farmers like himself, Silverthom did ay that at the least "it means you don't buy that new car or replace any equipment year." Martin and other Hoosier fanners aren't sure what the blight will mean in the long run. "People are gonna sell off their hogs," Martin said. "Corn will be too expensive to use for feed." This may mean, for this fall at least, that the consumer may benefit in lower pork prices as farmers sell their hogs earlier than usual, thus creating a market glut. Next year, however, according to some leading New York brokerage house specialists In farm commodities, the consumer will be paying higher prices for both pork and beef products, because the corn blight wlH mean high prices for feed grains used to fatten cattle and hogs.
