Gruening Has Nothing To Say On His Return From Washington, D.C.

SEATTLE, (AP) -- Gov. Ernest Gruening returned to Alaska today with "no comment" on how long he would stay in office.

The Alaska Democratic governor, due to be replaced under the new Republican national administration, stopped here briefly en route from Washington, D. C., where he attended the Eisenhower inauguration ceremonies yesterday.

Gruening's term as Governor ends in April and there has been political speculation on whether he would step out earlier, either voluntarily or by request.

He declined comment on the question and on a query about reports he might become president of the University of Alaska.
