Local Residents
 To Attend Land Withdrawal Hearing

Several local residents plan to attend tomorrow's ong-awaited hearing on the military request for the withdrawal of 86,000 acres in the Little Susitna flats area directly west of Anchorage across Knik Arm.
 The hearing will begin at 10 am. in the Anchorage YMCA. Lowell Puckett, regional admin istrator of the Bureau of Land Management will preside, AL though the Bureau is in charge of the hearing, final decision on the much-fought withdrawal will rest with Interior Department ot- ficials in Washington, D. C.
 So far, according to Puckett, only seven civilian organizations have indicated a desire to be heard, but other organizations re- presented at the hearing and ln- dividuals will be given an oppor- tunity to voice their opinions.
 The military is expected to pre- sent a strong case for its request. Officers of Alaska Command In- sist that the area is needed for practice firing of heavy anti-air- craft guns. They claim that this high altitude firing from Elmen- dorf AFB emplacements will not damage the property. They fur ther insist that the area will be closed to civilians only on week days or two six-week periods during the year. They ask for the withdrawal on a flve-year basis.
 Opponents claim that the area is the only one open to expansion of the fast-increasing Anchorage area. They claim that the area IS rich in agricultural, industrial, and timber potentials. The Mat anuska Electric Association, rep resented by President Justine Parks and Manager C. A. Brewer, will oppose the withdrawal on the grounds that the area repre-, sents the natural expansion or the Matanuska Valley farming area. The Matanuska Valley Sportsmen represented by Clair Stock, Bruce Graham, and or Glenn Wood will also oppose the withdrawal. Dr. Allan Mick and Hugh Johnson of the Alaska FIX pertinent Station also plan to at tend the hearing.

Proposed New Potato Regulations Prove
 Unpopular at Hearing

New potato rules and regula- tions proposed by George Crow ther, marketing specialist and in- spector for the Alaska Depart ment of Agriculture, proved un- popular with Valley growers who attended the Monday night hear ing at which they were discussed.
 Nearly 40 potato growers and other interested persons attended the hearing held at Rec Hall. The proposed new rules and regula- tions were read and discussed point by point-all A of them. Most of the growers present though the new regulations went beyond present needs for potato marketing in the Territory. They opined that the present regula- tions-four of them-set up July l, 1946, by the first Commissioner of Agriculture, George Grasser, would be adequate if amended slightly and enforced.
 Spirited discussion from the floor followed the reading of sev- eral of the new proposals. Strenu ous objections were voiced on such points as stopping of trans port for inspection, seizure of spuds for evidence, and the right to enter and inspect places where potatoes are stored.
 "The new rules and regulations in the hands of an officious and arbitrary inspector could put growers out of business" one ob jector warned
 Failure of the proposed rules to apply to imported potatoes was a particularly sore point. Why were Outside potatoes exempted from the regulations?" someone asked.
 Crowther stated that new regu- lations are necessary in order to set up procedures for grading and marketing of potatoes. He sug- gested the appointment of a com mittee to crystalline the opinions expressed by the growers in re- gard to the proposed new rules and regulations. The report of this committee would then be for warded to the Commissioner of Agriculture.
 Named to the five-man commit tee were Glenn Woods, James E. Wilson, Harold Stephan, Loren Weiderkehr, and Howard Estelle.

age office, MT. Collar posted the seizure orders and turned over the custodianship of the telephone company to the city. The Collec- tor, Clark Squire, looked over the telephone property and rec ords during his routine tour of the Territory a. month ago.
 Chief Deputy Collar described the property seizure action as tie most drastic action employed by his office to recover the amount of taxes due the U. s. Govern ment. He said he recalled only about eight or 10 similar actions taken in the Territory within the 10 years he has been stationed in Alaska.
 '"No further action against the stockholders of the Matanuska Valley Telephone Company, Inc. is contemplated at this time,"' added MT. Collar.
 Presumably, any amount re- ceived through public auction in excess of the total owed for feder- al taxes would be available for other creditors of the company, notably the Territory of Alaska for Territorial taxes due and the Alaska Communications System.
 Following the posting of the seizure order, City Councilman Al Hagen was asked why the city failed to take up it's option to purchase the telephone company. The original option expired May 3l, but an extension was granted I for 60 days. The gist of Hagen's explanation follows:
 The city's option was entered into primarily to negotiate down. ward the indebtedness of the tele- phone company to a reasonable price the city felt it could pay for the existing installations. At tempts to negotiate with the De- partment of Internal Revenue were made in May by City At torney Harold Butcher, while in Seattle, and at a special Council meeting with Collector of Inter nal Revenue Clark Squire on June 27. From MT. Squire the city learned that the Internal Revenue Department could not negotiate because it did not own the MVTC property. Our only recourse Is to seize it first and dispose of 1t ac- cording to the most favorable sale available" Hagen quoted Squire as saying.
 Under these circumstances, Ha- gen concluded, the city could only sit back and wait for the law to take it's course.
 Presumably, two courses of ac- ton are open to the city If the Council still feels it expedlent to have a municipal1y owned tele- phone company: CD Submit bid for upwards of $13,000 at the auction CD If the city does not consider the listed property worth the amount of the federal tax liability, it can sit back and wait to negotiate with the government after 1t becomes legal owner ot the property. The latter course IS contingent on failure of the feder- al government to receive an ac- ceptable bid during the fifty-day period provided by law.

still Canada expects at least nine
million dollar Treasury surplus
next year.

Truman Plan To Put Postmasters
Under Civil Service Causes Dispute

WASHINGTON IN - A roaring
Senate argument has been fired
up by President Humans plans
to shift more than ii 900 federal
jobholders from political patronage
status to Civil Service.
Unless either the House or Sem
ate kills the surprise move within
60 days, it becomes Lave under
terms Of the Government Reorgan-
ization Act of 1s4o.
The battle Is expected to be de-
cided in the Senate where since
1889 most senators have had the
privilege Of confirming federal Of
ficials appointed BY the President
by and with the consent Of the
Senate.
The surprise reorganization
plans submitted would apply.
to long LIST Of favorite
political plums. including II ,438
postmasters, "a United States mar
shals, 81 collectors Of customs and
a large number Of other customs
officials.

Truman with forcseeing a Repub-
lican victory In the fan elections
and moving to blanket thousands
of Democratic officials under Civil
Service protection.
A veteran Democrat. Sen. George
i of Georgia promptly announced his
opposition and added:

for its responsibilities In selecting
and confirming honest and effic-
lent officials, the move win bs

Strong support for the reOrgani-
zation came from three younger
Democratic senators. Monroney Of
