OLIVER SAYS PUBLIC MAY BE BARRED AT
 CITY COUNCIL MEETS

In the Territory of Alaska, the public may be cared from at tending meetings of a City Coun- cil. This opoinion was express ed today, by the Assistant Terri terial Attorney General Frank L. Cliver in a reply to a letter from Hal w. Hunt of Seward who chai- lenged the right of the Seward City Council to exclude him from the Council chambers during a meeting.
 Hunt wrote an open letter to Oliver, which was recently pub lished in the Seward Polaris.
 Tn his reply, Oliver pointed out that the Territorial laws differ from those of other states in such a case because there are no pro visions in Alaska statutes for councils to hold open meetings. He said this leaves such matter open to the decision of the coun- cil itself and that it may, if it so desires, ban the public from at tendance at Council meetings.

Alaska Points in Need Of Military Training
 Says Recent visiior

Next time we are target No. 1. Next time the blow VII come sud- denly and sunannouncei in the form of powerful air attacks seek ing to destroy or paralyze our de- fensive air and ground forces. Look to the north. There on the other side of the Polar Basin is the European-Asiatic land with three-quarters of the worlds pop ulation There is where an at tack will come from if we are ever forced into another con- flict, and invading aircraft in fly ing the shortest route to our in dustrial areas will fly over the Polar Basin"
 General Craig is right.
 Alaska needs powerful military and naval defenses.
 But that is not enough.
 Behind these defenses we must have trained civilian reserves, men here at home with the know now to back up our regular estab- lishments.
 Universal military training is the efficient and economi- cal way to provide those civilian reserves so necessary to keep the peace, and to safeguard us from any sudden attack.

l Ray H. Brannaman, National Vice. Commander, Veterans of For eign Wars, recent visitor in Ju- neau at the VFW Encampment writing from Washington, D. C.. under date of May II, says the following:
 have just returned from an inspection trip to Alaska. My visit to that most strategic area has convinced me more than ever of the grave necessity for universal military training = this year.
 If we delay, delay, delay as we have done in the past, some day we will find ourselves too late.
 The strangely reluctant attitude of congress in failing to bring this question to fair test gives grounds for alarm.
 For we have potential enemies, nations that are theological ene- mics already.
 In Alaska it was my privilege to attend the annual encamp ment of the Alaska Department, Veterans of Foreign Wars, where Major General Howard A. Craig commanding general of the Alas kan armed forces, made this high ly significant statement:

 The vote was 79-4
 It passed the measure after first refusing to go along with House. approved slash Of Si50,000,000 in the amount asked by PresidI It Truman and the State Department.
 The Senate stand against cut was by roll call vote of GA to 19. That means it will have to seek a compromise with the House.
 Often such differences are split which in this case would mean a final bill providing a S275,0Oo, 900 program.
 The bill is the second of two key multi-nillion dollar measures in the administrations foreign policy program.
 The other is a S400,Ooo,000 econ omic and military relief grant to Greece and Turkey. It has been passed by both Senate and House but awaits final approval of a com promise on minor differences.
 Before final passage of the $350,- Go0000 relief bill the Senate re- jected an amendment by Senator Mcclellan (D-Ark) which would have barred any relief to Russia or countries under the political or economic domination" of the So- Viet.
