Attorney Shaw to represent the membership and the seating of Hurley, Thurna, and Branton, and also instructed the attorney to take whatever legal action necessary and to retain full CO., counsel and incur necessary ex- penses on behalf of the member ship.
 Alfred Hagen proposed through motion that was seconded by Reese Tatro, that the Directors determine the feasibility of 10 percent rate reduction inasmuch as the MEA showed a sizeable net profit last year. The motion carried with only three negative votes being cast against the pro- posal.
 Questioned in regards to the pending suit in District Court Attorney Shaw stated that as far as known MEA Is not assuming the defense costs of Mrs. Parks and R. B. Graham, defendants. Mrs. Kay PIppe1 moved, John Weisen'berger seconded, that the costs of defending Mrs. Parks and Graham in litigation past, present or future arising from the April IA meeting not be as- sumed by the MEA. The motion was approved by the membership
 Since the membership meeting Edgar Boyko, Anchorage attor- ney representing Mrs. Parks and Graham, has through the Anch- orage newspapers, said the mem bership's move was illegal.
 Attorney Shaw stated this week that the June Is meeting was "called and conducted ac- cording to law and within the framework of the articles of in- corporation and bylaws of the association He went on to say that Hurley, Thuana and Bnant- on were elected directors by an overwhelming, almost unani- nous vote, which clearly and u1equivocally reflects the choice of the membership and incident ally reaffirnns the results of the recent meeting of April 14, which has been contested on grounds of irregular voting procedure"
 Shaw said today, that in the event of further extensive court procedure Attorney John Radar of Anchorage will be co-counsel on any court matters represent ing the MEA membership.

VA HOME LOAN APPRAISAL REQUESTS RISE IN JANUARY

Veterans Administration re- eeived appraisal requests for 29.- 284 proposed homes during Janu- ary, an increase of nearly IS per- cent over the December total of 24,892.
 VA said the number Of propos- ed units for which 1t receives ap- praisal requests is considered an indicator of future GI home loan business. VA characterized the increase, in part, as seasonal since builders are beginning to come to VA regional offices with their Spring building plans.
 VA added it still is too early to feel the effects of the partial relaxation of credit controls an- nouneed on January IT, 1856.
 VA said it received 18,938 ap- praisal requests for existing homes in January-about the same total as in December.
 However, the 41,882 CT home loan applications received in Jan uary were eight percent below the December total of 45,514.
 This decrease reflects the drop in appraisal activity last fall, VA said, when no-down payment loans were halted by VA in face of 2 percent down payment re- quirements.
 Question of Week:

 quests for assistance were shut tied back and forth between AL aska. Seattle and Washington, D. C., with no definite action taken. Mayor Charles Wilson showed photographs taken of the area and estimated that approx imately 18 acres have been lost in the past year. At the rate of from $250-S300 per acre, this presents q sizeable figure, he pointed out and then added that that is not the entire economic picture. though One point of con- cern in flood control problems, he said, is what property is left may no longer be an economical unit. The overall loss will be greater than a certain number of dollars per acre, because the unit has lost much of its economic value, he said. He referred to an aerial trip made last summer by himself, Dr. Lee Mckinley, and Del. E l.. Bartlett at which time the erosion problem was very evident. Since that time Del. Bartlett has worked in Congress to get assistance on the prob lem. The cost of moving the pow CT lines has been estimated at $40,000. This much money could be justified in a program to pro tect the lines, he said. Lew Hanks Extension Service district agent said that Agriculture Conserva- tlon program funds could be used for such a project-except for the fact that only $30,0 is avail able for the entire territory.
 Chamber members voted that formal request be sent the Ar my Engineers at Anchorage, call ing their attention to the oonda- tion and requesting that what ever possible be done, as soon as possible, to stop the river bank erosion in the Butte area.

 imlnm range on the daily records. The highest surge of water was August 26, 1855 when 9.96 feet were recorded. The low was in March when a reading of 3.60 feet was taken. The guage To- cated at the Matanuska bridge, is in operation the clock around. June 1, 1856 readings showed the water heighth at that point to be TAT feet. Judging from other years the river will continue to rise for several weeks.
 A number of residents in the Butte area are making attempts to save the banks along their farm land. Wilson Wood and the Talks have been dumping trees and old cars, cabled to one a1- other, in some of the sections where the current is the strong est. From the air along the Wan- derlhoff property large number of trees may be seen in the water. These trees have dropped into the river this year for the green leaves are still visible.
 Dr. Lee Mckinley said this week 1t is certainly a job for en- gineers. We aren't going to lose our farms this year or next, but unless. this river bank erosion is stopped, we will in time, lose our property he said. A number of the farms along the river have already lost enough cultivated land to lower the value of their farms.

Clashes all along the integra-
ton front are reverberating in
the nations capital.
Both presidential nominees
President Eisenhower and now
Adlai E. Stevenson-have now
deplored the character of the
current congressional investiga-
ton of the pioneer desegregation
program of the District Of Col
umbia school system.
In the opinion of Mr.. Steven
son the hearings "are serving no
constructive purpose" President
Eisenhower has expressed the
view that these hearings will not
impair" either the program cor
the good, sense citizens of the
district have shown in their man
ner of accomplishing desegrega-
ton"
The House subcommittee con-
Quoting the investigation has
been criticized as being stacked"
with southerners opposed to de-
segregation and with being con-
busted in one-sided manner.
The views of President Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Stevenson were
made public in kilograms to the
National Association for the Ad-
vaneement of colored People.
Roy wilkins, NAACP executive
secretary, appeared to favor Mr..
choice of words over
those of the Presidents.
Amid these political maneuver-
ings came the ringing challenge
of 0mer Carmichael, superinten-
dent of the Louisville, Kentucky,
schools, for a bipartisan approach
to the whole issue which he terms
'the greatest human problem Of
our generation.
CHALLENGED
Sup erintendent Carmichael, /
praised by President
for his integration
progr am for the Louisville
schools, said flatly on the Face
the Nation" television program
here that both Democrats and
had failed in their
obligation to the public in not
giving a clearcut endorsement Of
the United States Supreme Courts
in their political plat
forms.
In his view, the two parties, on
such a delicate issue Of human
relations as this should have got
together and come out with a
platform.

NO DEFENSE YET
There has been little or no
testimony so far in defense Of
the program and underlining its
accomplishments. That side OF
the picture presumably will come
from Superintendent Hobart NJ.

Meanwhile. in nearby Virginia,
legislators have gone home at
the close of the special session
after building up what they hope
is a segregation-tight legislative
barrier to integration in the Old
Dominion
Under this program, state
funds will be denied to any
school system termed not eff
Giant. A newly adopted state
policy defines an efficient school
system, as required by the state
constitution, to be necessarily a

The legislature also passed, as
a companion measure, a pupil
assignment plan under which
pupils may be assigned to certain
schools on wide category Of

Tuidon grants are also pro-

VALLEY WOMEN WIN FIVE SCHOLARSHIPS

Five deserving homemakers of the Matanuska Valley have been named as recipients of the $75 University of Alaska Short Course scholarships which were made possible through the gen. erosity of three Palmer and An chorage business firms.
 Named to receive the three scholarships offered by the Pig gly-Wiggly store were Mrs. Rob ert Mielke, Mrs. WendaH Lewis, and Mrs. James Hubert, all Of Palmer. Mrs. Harold Dinkle of WasilIa was awarded the scholar ship offered by the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating As sociation and Mrs. Henry Lieb- ing of Palmer received the sch soIarship offered by the Alaska Dairy of Anchorage.
 Short Course is held each fall at the University of Alaska aud is a well-rounded program gear ed to the interests of home makers, offering instructions in varied phases of homemaking and arts and crafts. The course is attended annually by home makers throughout the Terri tory, who return to their com Tnunity with new ideas which they pass along to their neigh bors and fellow club members.
