KODIAK HAS
 GREAT KICK
 ON SELLING
Merchants Face Eyfermina lion as Navy Stores Sell
 to Everyone Below Cost

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-tR- Representatives of Kodiak, Alaska, business men have appealed to Congressmen and Naval officials to stop sales to civilians at ships stores and navy commissaries at the naval operating base there.
 Mayor Lee Bettinger and L. J. Norman, Kodiak businessmen, ask cd that the Navy restrict it's sales to service personnel and families Unrestricted sales, they said, are "ruining' the business of regular merchants.
 How They Sell Elm
 The two representatives said the Navy sells such items to civil ians as women's clothing, house. hold utensils, furnishings radios, coasters, watches, jewelry, cosmet- ics, cameras. films, luggage, phono- graphs, records, and sporting goods, and also maintains a civilian bar at the base where liquor may be purchased by the drink or pack age.
 All these goods, they said, are sold without tax, at less than wholesale prices and without add ed freight costs, which the mer chants must include in their costs They cited the sale of beer at $3 a case that costs the merchants S4.79 a case to land in Kodiak.
 Medical Service
 Even medical service, they con tinued, is furnished at the base at a rate of s5 day for hospitaliza- tion as compared to a $750 rate at the Kodiak Hospital, Physicians services are provided free while Kodiak physicians charge s2.5o to $5 visit.
 Mayor Bettinger and Norman told reporter that Navy stores are available to all Navy civilian workers and their dependents, all civilians working for contractors hired by the Navy and their fam lilies, civilian workers employed by other government departments, in cluding Civil Aeronautics Authority personnel, Alaska Road Commis- sion and post office employees and about one-half of the people of Kodiak"
 System Necessary
 To protests by Kodiak merchants, they said, the Navy base command CT has asserted that the system IS necessary to keep civilian workers in Alaska
 "The practice, if continued,T Bet tinger and Norman said, will wreck the economy of Alaska. For if the precedent established here is permitted to stand, every base commander in Alaska can follow the same policy"
 Bettinger said they would con- fer again next week with Navy officials.
 Copies of advertisements issued by the Navy stores were given to Territorial Delegate Bartlett.
 Civilian employees of the Navy, government departments and con- tractors get 25 percent differen- tial for working in Alaska, the two-man delegation said, and with cheap purchases at Navy ship stores are living in Alaska cheap CT than they ever lived in their lives"
