Costumes to Highlighf Halloween Dance

Valley dancers started going through the family rag bags, rum- maging through discarded cloth ing and started plans for cos tunes for the Wasilla Communi- ty club Halloween dance to be held in that town on Saturday night, October 31.
 Although committee members are encouraging everyone to come in costume, they said this week that those who do not have costumes, nor the time to create one, could either come masked or purchase one at the door. Everyone will be masked, they said.
 Prizes for the funniest, most original, prettiest, etc. will be given during the evening. Re- treatments will be served at the hall by members of the Commun- ity Club.

WASiLLA RESIDENTS
 PREPARING LIBRARY

An amazing amount of work was accomplished at the work day held Friday at Wasilla Li- brary, according to Mrs. Martin Olson, librarian. Helping with the work, which resulted in 250 books being entered in the ac- cession book and prepared for the shelves were: Mesdames C. E. Henry, Ernest Peck, John Nc Donald and Kenneth Hurd. Also the Misses Joyce Dinkel, Rose Peck, Ruth Custer and Rose Church.
 This week Ernest Peck has been doing some volunteer re- pair work on the library build- ing, painting doors and varnish- ing shelves.
 There a great deal of filing and other work yet to be done, Mrs. Olson said. More work of this type will be done in the library Thursday morning. Help is needed. Anyone who can spare an hour of time toward making the library a "going concern" this winter should contact Mrs. Olson in person or by mail. Li- brarians are, also, urgently need ed.

WasiIla Weather
 Beats That of 1884
By Peggy Belts

Judging from our weather this year we are behind the schedule set in 1884.
 On October 13, 1884, Wasilla correspondent Heinie Snider wrote in the Anchorage Daily Times: ''The last fall of snow has not closed the pass. Cadwallader and Swanson are still hauling supplies for the Lucky Shot and other mining properties"
 In the same column Heinie wrote concerning a local couple who were pioneers in the area over 60 years ago. MT. and Mrs. O. G. Herning were well known by older Wasilla residents. MT. Herning is now dead and his wife is living in the States. This is what appears in the 1884 paper:
 October II, forty years ago, O. G. Herning, local merchant, better known as "Pa" Herning, took unto himself a wife, the present Ma" Herning. The old timers have lived that many years in Alaska, the first in Knik and later in Wasilla. The Hern- ing's road leading from Knik to Grubstake Gulch where MT. Herning has a placer mine is only part of the work of those real pioneers. Their any friends are them at least 35 years more of happy life in the hope that we all may attend their dia- mond jubilee"

Woman, Ex-U. 5. Teacher
May Be IsraeI's S Leader
BY the Assoeiosed Press

JERUSALEM, Israel Section,
Nov. 20.-A 55-year-old former
Milwaukee school teacher may
become the worlds first woman
prime minister-head of the
government of Israel.
Local newspapers are specu-
lating again that Mrs. Golda

States to become a leader in
this Jewish homeland, may get
the prime minister's post when
David -Gurion finally retires

Finance Minister Levi Eshkol
and Foreign Minister Moshe

leading candidates for the post,
but the best information here is
that neither wants the job. The
next in line of candidates being
mentioned is Mrs. Myerson.
Born in Kiev, in the Russian
Ukraine, she migrated with her
family to the United States in
1905 when she was she was

open session, a precise definition
of what it meant by that term.
If the Maryland Roads Com
mission and the Maryland plan
ming group do join the suit, the
bitterest contestants in the
Montgomery County road issues
will find themselves allied. Roads
commission members, in fact,
have questioned in the past
whether the national plan
ming commission has the legal
power to block it's construction
of highways in park areas.
Throughout the roadway park
controversy, the Maryland plan
ming group has supported the
roads commission in holding that
both the belt route and the
Route 24O leg should use the
park. Since the main battle had
centered around the 240 issue,
the national commission and the
Maryland planners had been
split widely.
AS far as the belt route is con-
cerned, however. the national
commission has shown it going

On Maryland Phones
BY the Assoeiated Pre..

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-New
rates that will cost Maryland
subscribers so to IS cents more
on their monthly bills will be
sought by the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co.
A spokesman, citing higher
salary and material costs and a
sizable construction program,
said the request would be taken
to the Public Service Commission
before the end of the month.
The phone company indicated
two months ago when it signed
contracts granting employees
higher wages that the additional
cost would be passed on to Gus
toners.
Last February, the PSC granted
the phone company temporary
rate increases of 25 cents a
month for most subscribers and
so cents a month for individual
unlimited phones. These were
made permanent in September.

Two U. 5. Desfroyers
Will Go 10 Chianu,
Admiral Carney Says

Admiral Robert B. Carney said
yesterday the Navy is preparing
to turn over two destroyers to
the Chinese Nationalists sin the
near future"
At the same time the Chief of
Naval Operations, just back
from a Far Eastern inspection
trip, said he felt Japan should
assume the responsibility for her
own defenSeS.
He said that he had discussed
the latter with United States
Navy officers in the Far East, but
not with japanese officials.
"I concur that Japan has a
great possibility for organizing
and I have always hoped that
she would share the response
bility for protecting the sea
lanes" he told a news conference.
U. S. Navy Short Of Ships.
The admiral said that a con-
gressional act permits the turn
ing of warships to the Chinese
NationalistS.
At another point, he COM
mented that the United States
Navy was short of enough de-
Stroyers ito take care of our own
sea lanes" but added that he
felt that the NationaliSts' re-
quest for destroyers was justified.
Asked if the ships would be
leased or given outright, the ad-
miral said that announcement
would have to come from Secre-
tary of Defense Wilson.
He said he got the impression
of excellent progress" by the
Chinese naval forces in the For
mosan straits, but added that
"they still have some ways to 60
in training and the use of equip
ment."

The primary need of Gen.
Chang Kai-shek's forces is for
small craft in the straits, and
destroyerS will be useful in that
area" he said. He had witnessed

training, he pointed out.
When asked if the naval forces
turned over to the Nationalists
would be for defensive or often
Sive action, Admiral Carney re-
piled that they would have to be
capable of offensive action to
take care of themselves.
He added his personal be-
lief" that the Chinese were cur
rently strengthening their forces
on the coast opposite Formosa.

c. H. and E. A. Franklin, of 4813
Broad Brook drive, Locust Hill
Estates, and Robert w. and Elise
C. Brownell, of 9702 Parkwood
drive. Parkwood.
Attorneys j. Joseph Barse and
Edward S. Northrop brought the
action in the U S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.
The suit was divided into two
sections. The first part made
these allegations:
/. That, under the Capper-
Cramton Act, the planning COM
mission is obliged to approve
plans only if the plans are con-
sistent with development "for
park purposes"
2. That, under the 1881 agree
ment between the national and
Maryland planning groups, there
is a restriction that the park
lands must not be developed
"for other than park purposes.
3. That the belt route, a lin
ited-access, high-speed type of
dual highway of six traffic
lanes" would be "a diversion of
said park lands from their au-
thorized USE"
4. That such a roadway would
cause "irreparable damage" to
the plaintiffs property, cause it
to drop in value and deprive the
residents of their right to have
the park area maintained solely
aS a park.
The second part o fthe suit
dealt specifically with the Park
wood and Locust Hill Estates
developments, located on either
side of the park near Wisconsin
avenue. Rock Greek Hills is To-
Gated north of the park area,
but eastward of Parkwood.
Restriction Held Violated.
The suit asserted that the park
portion abutting Parkwood and
Locust Hill Estates was decided
to the Maryland planning body
in 1889 by the Straight Improve
ment Co.. Inc, which developed
the Parkwood and Locust Hill
Estates subdivisions, exclusively
for park and parkway purposes.
Attorneys said the Straight
deed followed a sales contract
under which the Maryland plan
ners paid Straight $90,504, with
the understanding that the
money might be refunded if the
planners made certain improve
mentS approved by the Straight
company. Actually, it was re-
ported, the firm repaid about
$25, 900 to the planners, but the
two apparently failed to get to-.
gether on further improvements.
The suit contended that the
planning commissions action
violated the deed restriction that
the park land be used "ex-
clusively for park and parkway
purposes"
Parkway Definition Involved.
The Capper-Cramton Act,
under which the park lands were
bought with both Federal and
State money, also referred in it's
preamble to the comprehensive
park, parkway and playground
system" of the area.
Thus, it appeared to observers,
court arguments on the suit are
certain to develop around the
definition of "a parkway" and
whether the definitions should
apply to the belt route and to
the park area involved.
The national CO m m issio
stressed at the time that it ap-
proved the belt location that it
could do so because the road
way appeared to have park
way" characteristics. However,
