Alaska - (UPD - Alaskans fought for nearly a century to get a state capital. Now they're fight over what Now they're fighting over what to do with it. The capital today is Juneau, just as it was the territorial capital for about 50 years. Part of the', state thinks it should stay there; part wants -Jt transferred to a more popu lous and accessible spot. The fight is being fought, not along political lines, but along geographical lines. South eastern Alaskans be lieve the state ' government should remain in Juneau. Those from the Anchorage area are leading the campaign to get it moved closer to this center of Alaska's population. To succeed, they'll have to change the state constitution ratified three' years ago which says Juneau would be the capital when Alaska was ad mitted into the Union. Wants It Left The constitution was drawn up by a constitutional con vention presided over by Wil liam A. Egan, now Alaska's governor. Egan wants the capital left where it is. ' "This controversy," the governor - said, "has caused deep and wide sectional wounds at a time when all Alaskans should be united. I cannot encourage a move to devastate the economy of one of our cities and create a situ ation that would most certain ly cause a permanent breach in our great state." But fellow Democrat and House Majority Leader Peter J. Kalamarides (who's from Anchorage) said he plans to call for a constitutional con vention at the January session of the legislature to amend the constitution. "The capital has outgrown Juneau," Kalamarides said, "and it will have to be moved some time in the near future. I think the Anchorage of Ma tanuska Valley area would be an ideal location." The arguments against Ju neau : are its inaccessibility, isolation from the majority of the people and the high cost of running the ' government there. " ., -. .

One state senator said he took off from Anchorage for Juneau four times and ended up each time in Seattle because of bad- weather at the capital. ' ' - At Least .Five Years ' Both sides agree that it will take at least five years to get the capital moved, even if a decision is made to do so. The legislature could propose a constitutional amendment to effect the switch, but this would require a . hard-to-get two -thirds majority of both houses. The more popular means of amending the constitution would be to call a constitu tional convention to vote on the issue. Piponents feel certain the amendment would be ratified since nearly 80 per cent of Alaska's popu lation lives in the Anchorage Palmer area where the new capital would be located, .
