 Your article in regard to the action recently taken by the board of directors of the ARRC was read with interest. It was no surprise to the writer that this action was taken, in view of the fact that the Coop is in much the same position that it was a few years ago, when the same thing was tried and then died a-borning.'
 As long as the Coop is being badly mismanaged, and it ap- pears that it is going to fold, nothing is done by the ARRC to protect the government or the members of the Coop. AS MT. Davis spokesman said in a recent article in the Anchorage News, they are willing to just let it die Evidently before he re- turned to Washington he decid- ed to help kill it, since he didn't like cooperatives anyway, ac- cording to his statements and actions. However, MT. Davis may learn that even government bu- reaucrats can't kill an organiza- tion that was set up by the gov- ernment and then turned over to the people for whom it was formed-especially when that organization is incorporated un- der the territorial laws.
 Yes, it is true that the Coop borrowed $292,OO from the Farm Security Administration to get started. It was borrowed on terms of 3 per cent interest and 30 years to pay. Those who remem- Der the conditions which existed at the time this loan was made probably are wondering how we ever got this far, for the ARRC board certainly didn't have any plans or hopes of making it 20. After a complete audit of their books in the summer of 1889. the powers that be in Washington told them to turn the Coop over to the members and let them run it.
 That board informed the new board of directors of the Coop It would be necessary to subsi- dlze the Coop for some time. They made arrangements to do this, but not one cent of this money was ever taken or needed by the Coop after the organiza ton was turned over to the mem bers for their management.
 During the last eight years the Coop has repaid the loan to the extent of over $59,OOO and has paid all of it's bills, too. The members have accumulated an interest of over $167, ,OOO and sev- eral large cash dividends have
Valley frontiersman., 1948-09-15

been paid to members. The C5-op is all paid up to date with the FILA and there is no reason to think that it can't continue to do so. Even Mir Peters admits that the Coop is financially sound, but it finds it's member ship relations bad, he says ..
 In the Valley Settler, MT. Peters didn't know just what the FILA would be asked to use to proceed with the foreclosure, but by the time the other paper got around to him, he had decided that the whole book should be thrown at the Coop.
 MT. Peters stated that the Co., op had not made financial state ments required by the govern ment. This clause states that re- ports are required from time to time, but no definite time has ever been set, as far as'We know. We are working on the reports that have been requested. They soon will be available for the first half of 1948. An audit report was given to the government some time ago, and it is we'll aware of our financial standing.
 MT. Peters certainly must know that no amendments have been adopted to the bylaws of the Coop that in any way change the eligibility or admission of members or participation in the management or benefits as set forth in the charter. The only amendment that would have radically changed the policies of the Coop in this manner was one requiring that no one be al- lowed to vote in the Association unless he had produced and sold at least $1,000 worth of products to the Association in the pre- vious year. This was voted down by the membership.
 The Coop may be inefficient and mismanaged, but it is your fault if it is. You can change it at any time you desire. You can also examine the books of the Coop and find out what is done with your money. Remember that there is a vital difference be- tween true cooperative and an organization which has it's board of directors selected by the poli- ticians in Washington and whom you can't remove, regardless of the way in which they do their job. Think it over.
 Yours sincerely,
 CARL R. RASMUSSEN

MAYOR HENDRI(KS0N
 ISSUES STATEMENT
 OR x-RAY PROGRAM

Mayor Waino E. Hendrickson to- day issued the following statement to the citizens of Juneau, regarding the tuberculosis mass X-ray sur vey which starts in Juneau March 22:
 One of the functions of your city government is to make Juneau as attractive as possible with a view to encouraging new business con- cerns to establish themselves here and to keep our present enterprises satisfied
 "A healthy community is our ma jor objective if we are to be success ful in our efforts and we must take steps to prevent a disease such as tuberculosis from endangering the health of our population. This is a liability which Juneau seriously in- tends to put out of business.
 Tuberculosis is no respector of ace, creed, color, or financial or social status. There is very definite danger of infection to our residents if active cases are allowed to go un- detected. Statistics show that 80 sercent of those having tuberculosis in the early stages are not conscious of being ill and consequently see no reason to consult a physician un- til the disease has considerably ad- vanced. The only certain way such cases can be discovered is by means o4 an X-ray of the lungs.
 Facilities are now available where ty all residents of community may be X-rayed rapidly and with mini mum of effort. Such program will be offered here beginning March 22. It is being sponsored by the Gas tineau Channel Health Council, the Alaska Tuberculosis Association and the Juneau Public Health Center, and conducted by the Territorial De- partment of Health in cooperation with the U. s. Public Health Service. Everyone is eligible to receive a free chest X-ray.
 T earnestly Ie4dest that every citizen respond most whole heartedly to this program, first by having an X-ray and then supporting the pro- gram among friends and acquain- tances by word of mouth. By so doing, you will not only protect your self and your family, but make Ju- neau a healthier place in which to live"

Approval of Parliament to Plan Is Won by Czech
 Communist Premier

PRAGUE, March 11.-R-Czech- cslovakia's Communist government got a unanimous vote of confi- dence in parliament today as it prepared a state funeral for For eign Minister Jan Masaryk
 Thus, in two weeks and two days after the seizure of power, Com munist Premier Element Gott- wald has tied up Parliamentary approval for the program which he had battled since last summer.
 When Chairman Josef David call cd for the confidence vote, all the 133 deputies who were present raised their hands. The Parlia- ment has Q normal membership of 800.
 Ahead of the Deputies is the adoption of legislation to legalize activities ol the action commit tees which Gottwald set up as the Czech crisis developed. The com mittees took control of the govern ment for him and quickly began to guide every phase of public and private life.
 Jan Masaryks state funeral will be Saturday He will be buried beside his father, founder and first President of the Czechoslo- yak republic.
 The 6l-year-old non-party For eign Minister was found dead yes terday, two weeks& after the new cabinet came to power, in a stone courtyard more than 50 feet below his bathroom window at the For eign Office. The government said he jumped

Judge 6ranis Motion RuI- ing Claimants Did Not
 Prove Rights

A government motion for non-sult was granted today by Judge George w. Folta in U. g. District Court in sui. by James Miller and 22 other persons for compensation in U. s. Government condemnation of Ju- neau tidelands property amounting to l0.95 acres.
 The motion was filed on Monday Ly U $. District Attorney P. J Gil- more, Jr., at the conclusion of tes- timony by attorney William L. Paul, Jr.
 Judge Folta ruled that Paul and his clients had failed to show con- tinuity and extent of the use and oc- cupancy of the lands in question as provided for in a Congressional Act cf 1884 He ruled that they had at tempted to assert sovereign rights against those of the United States and had not made 1t clear as to whether the defendants were acting as a community or individuals.
 Judge Folta said that they had established only the common right of fishing and public navigation in their use of the questioned tidelands.
 The land was confiscated in 1922 by the Government for use as the site of the present Juneau Area En- gineers Dock and Warehouse. It has been the subject of a hotly contested and significant lawsuit since that time.
 The claim of aboriginal rights was originally presented by the B claim ants but this was denied by the U. $. Circuit Court of Appeals last year cn the appeal of government de- murrer to that body. Ten days ago, when the case re-opened here, an- other attempt was made to insert the aboriginal claims hut these were dropped on orders received by Paul from the Indian chief counsel in Washington, D. C., James E, Curry.
 The higher court had ruled that the 23 persons were entitled to com pensary rights if they could prove individual continual use anu oc- cupancy since 1884.

SEATTLE, March 11.-IR- Capt. J. H. Petrich, skipper and owner of the Alaska carrier Aleutian Mail, disclosed today that his mail con- tract between Seward and Atka and Dutch Harbor has been can celled by postal authorities.
 He asserted that the cancella- tion will mean that people at iso- lated Aleutian outposts will be without regular and direct freight and passenger service. The people, he said, are protesting the move.
 Petrich said the mail will be carried by air to a western point and distributed by small boats. He said the mail contract amounted to a virtual subsidy for the freight and passenger operation.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1948-05-06

THE LEADERS OF three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad
employees, have called railroad strike that
would paraIyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 15l5 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Noven1-
Der l. 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 151s cents already has been
accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of
North America won't accept what more than
90% of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion

union Ieaders--whch would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On ton of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawn--in. spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
