Val Peterson

Prince Georges County's civil

today at Civil Defense Admins
TRAITOR Val Peterson for remarks
that area CD officials are try

trying to correct weaknesses in

Hes talking out Of both sides

said of Mr.. Peterson. II chal-
lenge him to meet me in a de-
bate on the subject. Any assault
he makes on Mr.. Silvers better

Mr.. Peterson's remarks came
Thursday night after Mr.. Silvers
had told a House Military oper-

week that the Interim Voluntary
Evacuation Plan here Is unreal
istic, ridiculous and suicidal" be-
cause of limited facilities outside

BOttlenecks Cited

with civil defense, but offer con-
structive criticism and your full
cooperation to correct what is

D. c. Figure Set
For 1878 Year

Board of Education yesterday,
includes "a special reading and

Even the new figure was left
open to some extent. This was

the possible need of extra RENE
dial teachers for the elementary
schools. The superintendent was
given authority to add some of
these if it appears desirable.
Extra 100000
The teacher addition, plus
some other minor changes, added
some 100000 to the proposed
1878 operating estimate. bring
ing the total to just under $3.50

Bills Prepared to Give Alaska More Internal Powers

WASHINGTON R-The Senate Interior Committee directed it's staff Wednesday to prepare legis- lation that would give to US. ter ritories powers over their inter nal affairs comparable to the power of state and local govern ment."
 The legislation twill be intro duced next session, said Sen. Goldwater R-Ariz), its sponsor.
 Goldwater called for the legis- lation after saying the committee had considered a number of bills this year he felt "could best be handled by the territorial legisla- lures which are more familiar with local conditions"
 "It seems senseless to me-" said Goldwater, "for the Congress to concern itself with matters of a purely local nature and, in fair ness to the elected officials of the territories, Congress should divest itself of much of its paternal auth ority."
