Chanber-NavyTaDksEnd; Sales Changes Effected

Kodiak The Chamber of Commerce yesterday wired it's delegates in Washington that d. though it feels the compromise of principles wrong and unac-
 cep:able, in view of the legisla-
 tion proposed by the navy it seems impractieable to continue opposition alone."
 Legislation referred to in the wire, sent after a special Cham Der meeting to hear reports 6n the navy offer, is that introdu$- ed into Congress to authorize sales to civilian employees of the navy in state-side bases
 The Chamber advised Mn. Bettinger and MT. Norman se "make It your primary concern to interest United States Cham. Der of Commerce, National As- sociation of Manufacturers, Chambers such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, etc., to push matter for them selves rather than for us. Every town near large military estab~ lishment will be affected.
 "The best means of terminal ing actlvitles," the wire suggest ed, would be for the men to visit important cities enroute home, to persuade the larger organiza- tions that for thelr interest they should carry on the opposition aggresslvely."
 Meanwhile, the commanding officer of the navy base d stribut- ed directive from the Secretary of the Navy on policies concern ing sales to civilian personnel, saying that the policies are the result of the "discussions be- tween representatives of the KO- diak Chamber of Commerce and base employees"
 Policies set forth are those itemized in the Associated Frees story qu ted at left All hands are warned that violation of the order by the base commanding officer and the secretary of the navy's directive "may constitute grounds for dismissal in the case of a violation by 8 civil service or his dependent and court martial proceedings inrthe case of uniformed personnel or his dependent"

 Lee Bettinger, Kodiak mayor, termed the navy agreement an "ultimatum" to merchants and sad that 1t is no concession at all. The ultimatum will work great injury to Kodiak mer chants
 We have just wasted three weeks here trying to get the navy to do the fair thing. We shall remain here a while longer, and present our case to Congress sional committees to see If we cannot get some rellef," he said
 He said that he and L. J. Nor man, Kodiak businessman, were not given an opportunity to dis cuss the navy proposals. "And. rews simply told us here is what we'll do. There was no compro- mise
