Four Members Are Suspended From MVFCA

Rex Monaghan, Mads Johann sen, Jack Cope and Arvid John son were suspended from mem- bership in the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Associa- tion last Monday, by action of the board of directors. The ac- tion was taken, it was explained by board spokesman, because it was felt these men 'have per formed acts harmful to the vel fare of the Association"
 The men were notified of their suspension by letter. They were told they will be permitted to attend meetings, but they cannot enter into any group discussion nor can they vote on any ques- tions. H wever, they were warned that they are still bound by their marketing agreement with the Coop.
 The period of suspension, if the act is upheld at a hearing, is to be for two years.
 Carl Rasmussen, Coop board secretary, said the four men had 10 days within which they may file written protest to the ac- ton. The protest period expires on May 27. A hearing will be scheduled within five days, when the four may present arguments against the suspension.
 None of the four have filed a protest yet. However, one of the group said Thursday morning that it was his intention to do so. He pointed out that the let ter of notification carried no specific charges. He said he would press for definite charges.
 The suspended four, three of whom are farmer members of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation board, represent three dairymen and vegetable grower.
