The board of directors of the PUD considered long and hard on the problem of appointing another director to the bca I'd to re place lack Mclaughlin who resigned June | and finally agreed that each di rector was to uo11ina 15 two can- didetes for the peal75i ono The Monday evening meeting thsn saH the following local residents nom. ia aeu: Harry Greg oire, ora Jones' Hazel Jenson and lrss Clyde Nythe, Jiggs T1ca and Cap King, Gust Lofgren and H. K, Davis. The can didates are to be contacted before the next meet ing to see uhe5hs r or not they will accept the position if appointed, and the directors will make the final choice at the June 27 neettngs
 The discussion which preceded the final agreement found Director Gene Browning taking the point of view that the candidate who ran next behind the two elected directors should get the post. This would put Harry Gregoire, a former director, again on the board. -He said that a precedent had been set last fall when Glare Timer uas appoint cd to fill the vacancy Of Bob Kranich. However, Carl Baier, who vas pre- sent, stated that in the years he served on the board four LOT five appointments to the board R Ire made and not once did they choose defeated cand 1date.
 Dir ector Margaret Anderson took the stand that the person chosen should come from an outlying area and not from the immediate Homer area. This, she said, would make the board more repre- sentative of the entire district.
 During the meeting Director Mi1t Alm nominated Carl Ba1er but Baier declined the nominat ion.
 Ralph Patterson, acting dock manager uas appointed permanently to the post at a monthly wage of 545o. A total of five applicat ions had been made for the dock job with $45O being asked as the starting wage by all but one who fai led to state a starting salary. Those seeking the job were Patrick Johnson, Ernest P. Carlson, H. L. Mccain, Paul Walter and Patterson.
 It was decided to check with local merchants for a set Of scales for the dock. They arc seeking a tWo-bar set with looo-pound m. xtmum.
 The dock manager vas asked to mako up set of regula ions to govern the use of the dock by the public. The regulat ions will be posted at tho dock then comph ted and approved.
 President Johnson asked the direct- CTS to consider the possibility Of seeking the services of Quincy Benton, local attorney, as the PUD attorney. Mrs. Juliana Wilson of Anc horage is the present PUD attorney, however the IT es- ident pointed out the valuo of having an attorney rho could be contacted at the time legal problGns arose instead of through tho ma1lss
 The bid of Pioneer Hardware for water sof tner and oxtdizer for the hos- pita1 wae accepted. The total bid, in cluding installation, was R65l.6Oe

OAR BACKING
TreatyCurbs
Continued From First Page

America to lend forever cir
convention of our Constitution. "
In accepting the award. Sena-
tor Bricker said the Supreme
Court had, on two occasions.
found a loophole by which the
Constitution and Bill Of Rights
could be subverted by treaty law.
THAT loophole must be
plugged" he added amid loud
applause. That's why I've been
working for an amendment that
will say, without fear of con-
tradiction, and SO firmly the
Supreme Court can't get around
| it, that the Constitution of the
United States is the supreme law
of the land and cannot be
violated or nullified."
Only one dissent was voiced
today in connection with the
resolution on the United Nations.
I'm this country, we have q
Congress in which the States are
able to thrash out their prob
lems," said Mrs. Roswell Trip Of
Washington, Conn.
Many of us loyal OARS, and
I may say, our President of the
United States, feel that the
United Nations Is needed for
this same purpose" she con-
| tinued.
LET us observe before we
condemn. Let us strive to re-
construct with intelligent CO.
operation"
Would Check on RumOrs
She suggested that accredited
observers might be placed at the
U. N. in order to prove or dis
prove rumors about its activi-
ties.
Mrs. Ernest Howard, of the
Clarence (Mo,) Chapter and a
well-known Washington club
woman, said she would oppose
ANY observer to undignify this
great organization-let's do our
observing and do as our FORE
fathers did when they went out
with their clubs or what have
you"
Other resolutions adopted to-
day:
Opposed the admission of Red
China to the United Nations.
Urged immediate strengthen
ing of relations between this
country and Latin American
countries through more techni-
cal, economic and military aid
ito those countries that are be-
ing influenced by Communist
propaganda against the United
States and against the capital
istic system in the entire world"
Rights Abroad Cited
Asked that the Status of
Forces Treaty be reviewed by the
Senate ito the end that means
be found whereby the historic
rights of Americans serving on
foreign soil both in the Armed
Forces and in civilian service be
re-established."
Secretary Thomas. discussing
how defense policies are forrnu-
lated, said in his talk last night
that the goal of the United
States can be summarized in a
single phrase-"the achievement
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-20

of international peace and Sc
curity."
The very nature of this goal
imposes a handicap. however, he
added, because it means the
United States can't take the ini-
tiative in any war.
1.-THE starting point for de-
termining a defense program, or
a defense policy, is to estimate
as best you can the capabilities
and intentions of your probable
enemies" he declared. while
we can never be sure of his in
tentions, we fortunately have a
pretty good idea about his capa-
bilities."
Other proposed resolutions the
OAR will consider include these:
To reaffirm the OAR stand for
State and local control of edu-
cation and oppose Federal aid to
education.
To reduce foreign aid as rap
idly as possible and apply the
funds on the national debt to
promote a balanced budget.
To reaffirm approval of the
McCarran-Walter Act and resist
weakening amendments or pri-
vate bills which would destroy
its effectiveness.
