BUTTE PROPRIETOR CHARGED WITH
 ASSAULT ON COOK

Charges of assault with dan gerous weapons as a result of an argument over a cold steak at the Butte roadhouse Sunday night were brought against Pro- prietor Alfred Huffman by Leo Orrin, cook, in a preliminary hear ing. heard by U. s. Commission CT Dorothy Saxton this morning.
 The defendant was arraigned Tuesday morning on complaint of the plaintiff, but the hearing was postponed until Thursday on Huffman's request to enable him to secure legal counsel. Repre- senting Huffman as the hearing continued this morning was An chorage Attorney Stanley Me Cutcheon.
 Testimony of the plaintiff was followed by long detailed cross examination by the attorney re- vealing details of the argument and the alleged assault as well as an account of Orrin's actions both before and after. According to Orrin's testimony, Huffman was intoxicated at the time of the incident; he said that the defend ent had been intoxicated on the premises before but not frequent ly. Orrin said that he himself had not had a drink all day and that he was only an occasional drink CT. He said that the argument over the steak led to his ordering Huffman out of the kitchen.
 Whereupon, the testimony con- tinued, Huffman picked up a heavy meat-cutting board with both hands and started hitting Orrin on head and shoulders, the cook lifting his arms to protect himself. Huffman dropped the board and an exchange of blows ensued, Orrin's partner, Ray Hor- ton, finally restraining Huffman from behind. Huffman broke away, grabbed a meat fork. With

SANDS REPLACED AS TELEPHONE
 AINTEMANCE MAN

Maynard Sands was replaced as telephone maintenance man by Melvin Haugen on Friday of last week by order of Mayor Carl Meier.
 The Mayors action last Thurs day followed failure of the Coun- cil to remove Sands at the City Council meeting the previous night. There was one vote against removal without notice and Councilman Al Hagen challeng- ed the legality of any action taken under authority of less than four affirmative votes. Although they constituted a quorum only four councilmen were present.
 The motion for Sands firing and the hiring of Haugen follow ed reports of Sands neglect of duty since the MVTC property was seized by the government last month. The report on Sands followed discussion of the increas- ingly poor telephone service to customers.
 Haugen's appointment is a temporary one extending only thr- ough the period of city custodian ship still remaining. Sale of the telephone property is scheduled for next Tuesday September 16, at 2 pm. It was hoped that Haul gen might be able to repair the present board sufficiently to put more cords in operation and to climate some of the noise. Haugen had been hired by the Council to make a telephone survey. regard ing needs in the Palmer area last July. Only three-weeks' employ ment was provided but Haugen has been continuing the survey on his own. So far he has made only preliminary reports and action on his recommendations has been held up pending completion of government sale of MVTC tele- phone facilities. The city has

Army Gets Susitna
 Anti-Aircrah Target Site for Three Years

The U. S. Army Alaska won it's case for withdrawal of 86,0OO acres in the Little Susitna area west of Anchorage, but an arous- ed Alaskan public won a moral victory-with the support of the Army.
 The 86,OOO acres were with drawn from the public domain in an order signed last week by Secretary of Interior Oscar l.. Chapman. Under the order the withdrawn area, which skirts both the Goose Bay and Big Lake areas, will be made available to the Army for a three-year period for use as an anti-aircraft firing range. The Army will be per- mitted to use the wedge-shaped area for two six-week periods each year beginning October 16
 and April 15.

UMW Union Members Win Fight to Organize USibeIIi Coal Mine

A suit recently filed in Fourth District Court by the Usibelli Coal Mine, Inc, asking damages of more than $21 million from the United Mine Workers of Am erica was dismissed last Thurs day. Simultaneously the Usibelli miners announced that they had formed their own local of UNIV of A. They negotiated a contract with the mine management that became effective September 1.
 U. s. Attorney Robert J. Me Nealy joined with the company and union attorneys in request ing dismissal of contempt pro- ceedings involving IT union of ficials and members, including five from the Jonesville mine. On the basis of the motions signed by the attorneys, Judge Harry E.. Pratt dismissed all of the pend ing litigation.
 Usibelli filed for an injunction and restraining order April 15, asking that union members be enjoined from trespassing on com pany property. The union mem bers charged that Usibelli had welshed on an agreement to grant a union shop after an cleo ton held according to the Taft Hartley Law. A flare-up of vio- lence at the mine was followed on June 21 by filing of the $21 million damage suit and on June g by filing of contempt charges against the IT union officers and members.

Electors May Decide Size of New Elementary School
CITY COUNCIL ASKS VOTERS FOR S350,0O0 FOR WATER & SEWER

Palmer's City Council acted last night to insure early completion of the city's new water system and approval by Alaska Public Works of a request for a loan to modernize the sewer system.
 Last January's bond election, held at the direction of the Jun eau office of APW, enabled the city to incur bonded indebted ness of $25O,000 to pay half the cost of the new water system. The low bid of the Arctic Plumbing and Heating Company of Fair banks in the July opening was for $591,365. Engineering and ad- ministrative costs added to the construction figure brought the total cost of the project up to $675,00. APW immediately asked Congress for an extra $175, 5,00O, which represented the increased cost over the original $500000 grant. The extra $175,000 was inn mediately made available to Pal mer so that the system as origin ally planned can now be built providing the voters will approve an additional bonded indebted ness of $100,000 for the water sys- tenn. This issue will be placed be- fore the people at the October ' election when a new Council is also to be elected.
 To obtain funds from APW for extending the present sewer sys- tenn, the city must also vote to incur a bonded indebtedness of $250,000, which is estimated at this time to be about half the cost of the new sewer system. Unless this measure carries at the Octo- Der ' election, there is little chance of Palmer receiving feder- al assistance in improving the city's sewer system.
 One-half of the extra $175,000 allotted to Palmer for the water system must be matched. In view of steadily rising costs and diff culties as yet unforeseen, the Council decided to ask for an ad- ditional $12,5O0 over and above the $87,50O which would be the city's share of the extra allotment.
 Althouhg APW requires that voters approve such project by authorizing bonded indebtedness for the city's share, the water pro- ject cost is self liquidating. Rev enues from the city water system will be applied against the city's indebtedness for the system.

LOW BID FOR GROOM SCHOOL IS $24,0OO =
 OVER FEDERAL GRANT
By Lucille Kennedy Mick

The Palmer Independent School District Board, meeting in special session last night to consider awarding the contract for con- struction of the new elementary school in North Palmer, decided to confer at an early date with low bidders Stock and Grove of Anchorage before making the award. It is the opinion of this re- porter that the low bidders will be asked to accept the contract with an option providing for con- struction of either the six-cIass- room building of the base bid or r-classroom unit at a reduc- ton of $24,000, pending expression of the district electors will in a forthcoming election.
 A petition requesting such ac- tion was presented to the school Board last night. It was signed by 37 residents, representing 36 families. It petitioned for a pro- posal to the electors that the property tax be raised three mills for the 1853 tax year only or one mill for tax year 1853, 1854, and 1855 to raise the $24,00O necessary to include the two rooms in the construction contract. It was ob- served that the rooms would cost much more to build under Separ- ate contract.
 Six bids were received at the opening in the Palmer School library at 4:30 pm. Monday. Base bids were for a Six-clasSroom unit. Stock and Grove Construction Go. of Anchorage was apparent low bidder with $216,795. Highest base bid was $288,0OO by Fackler and Hamacher. Other bids were as follows: Wright Construction Co.,, $234,O2O; Doughty Construc- tion Co. of Spenard, S242,5O0: Kincaid and King Construction Co.,, Inc. and Anchorage Builders, S232,700; and the A. C. SWalling Construction Co.,, $259,812.
 Considerable variation appear ed in the deductions allowed un- der five alternates which would have eliminated from the base plans the following: a fire alarm system, a telephone conduit, a :locked program, two classrooms, cabinets and wardrobes. Deduc- tions for deletion of the two class rooms ranged from $18,364 to $35,000. Subtracting each bidders deduction from his base bid, the bids for a four-classroom school stood at $192, 444 for for Stock and Grove, $2O5,288 for Wright, $207,- 500 for Doughty, $210,000 for Kin caid and King and Anchorage Builders, $240,448 for Swalling, and $256,562 for Fackler and Hamacher.
 Anchorage Architect Edwin Crittenden's estimate for the six classroom school was $193,000. Available for construction and planning from the federal allo- cation under Public Act SIS was $197,OOO.

Bolivia 'sChief Paper
IHaIts;; Suppression by
Government Feared
BY the Associated Press


, Bolivia's largest newspaper, La
Razon, going the way of Argen-
tlna'S La Prensa?
La Razon has not been pub
lished for two weeks. and staff
members are wondering if the
newspaper will be seized by Bo-
livia's new government, much as
President Juan D. Peron in Argen-
tina ordered the seizure of La
Prensa.
The newspaper is owned by Vic
tor Carlos Aramayo, one of the
three top tin producers in Bolivia.
1t has bitterly opposed the Ma
tlonal revolutionary Party CMNR)
now back in power after a revolu-
ton.
President Victor Paz Estenssoro
has said La Razon (reason) can
resume publication "at its own
risk" But he added he would
not use government forces to pro-
tect the newspaper against the
still-armed populace largely made
up OF miners-many of whom
hate La Razon and threaten to
prevent its publication.
In effect. the President is in
a dilemma. He has assured for
elgn neWsmen his revolutionary
government will not curtail press
freedom. But, he is loath to move
against the armed populace who
brought him to power. He has
urged a cooling off period refore
La RaZon'S owners attempt to
publish the newspaper again.
Sequence of Events.
Here is a chronicle of events:
The newspaper could not pub
lish April 10 because the ccvolu-
ton was swirling about La Paz.
The heavy fighting ended April
IL with victory for the MNR.
Editor Guillermo Cespedes
found the newspaper plant had
been padlocked. Mr.. Cespedes
never was able to discover who
ordered the padlocking. He re-
fused to break the locks. Jules
Dubois, chairman of the Press
Freedom Committee of the Inter-
American Press Association, ap-
pealed to government officials.
Mr.. Estenssoro returned from
exile in Argentina April IS and
announced he would guarantee
press freedom. However, La
Razon was padlocked until April
II, when Propaganda Minister
Hugo Roberts-half brother of
La Razon's manager, Ricardo
Roberts-sent keys to open the
locks.
Staff Warned to Leave.
That night Editor Cespedes told
his staff to leave the building.
He said he had been warned that
100 armed men were preparing
drive on the newspaper plant. The
armed and shouting militiamen
appeared and the paper did not
publish. The government dis
claimed responsibility for this
action.
Mr.. Estenssoro last Saturday
reiterated that his government
would respect press freedom, but
advised La Razon to lie low for
a few days, maybe a fortnight" :"
to allow MNR revolutionists to
quiet down. The government re-
fused to provide armed protection
for La Razon's staff.
That night guard of unarmed
militiamen was posted at the
newspaper Office. They remained
on duty until yesterday, when 10
men with rifles and machineguns
showed up.
Officials insist most of the pop
ulace is highly incensed against
the newspaper, which has pub
lished $4,000 copies on weekdays
and 10000 on Sundays. (Sev-
