 Mayor Lee Bettinger. Kodiak, told Taber that l5O businessmen sent him to Washington to pro- test the Navy's "secialistic" sales program which in recent weeks has cost "Kodiak stores 60 per cent of their retail busi. ness."

 Mayor Bettinger further charged: Federal employees can buy commodities cheaper than in the States, although they get 25 per cent more pay"
 MT. Bettinger and L J. Nor man, Kodiak businessman, asked that the Navy restrict it's sales to servlce personnel and families
