Benson Defends
Classify Record
By the Associated Press

Secretary Benson says he be-
lieves the Agriculture Depart
ment's security officer, j. Glenn
Classify. has made a good rec
ord" despite criticism of his
work.
Mr.. Benson made ethis COM
ment when asked at a news con-
ference yesterday if he had con-
sidered replacing Mr.. Classify in
view of new criticism. This grew
out Of Mr.. Cassity's handling of
a security inquiry involving John
c. Baker, Midwestern informa-
ton officer for the departments
marketing service at Chicago.
Mr.. Benson denied reports
that he had forced r. B. Nc
Leash to resign last week as
administrator of the Farmers
Home Administration. Mr.. Nc
Leaish quit at the height Of a
congressional inquiry into
charges that he drank heavily
on the job-charges he denied.
Friend Of McLeaish
Mr.. Benson said he had left
the decision up to Mr.. McLeaish
after pointing out that it might
be to the interests of himself
and his agency" that he step
aside.
But I told him that If he de-
cided to fight the charges before
the committee we would provide
him with counsel" Mr.. Benson
said, adding:
II consider myself a friend Of
Bob McLeaish. If there is any,
thing I can do for him I will
do it. He performed good serv-
ice for his agency"
Mr.. Classify drew sharp criti-
cism more than a year ago
when he advised Mr.. Benson to
GUST Wolf Ladejinsky as an
agricultural attache in Japan
because Of technical and security
reasons. The International Co.
operation Administration hired
Mr.. Ladejinsky afterward for a
post in Southeastern Asia. Later
Mr.. Benson. who had defended
Mr.. Classify, withdrew the Sc
curity charge against Mr.. Lade-
jinsky.

lampooning the latter's activities.

QUESTIONABLE Mr.. Classify had
sent.
Mr.. Baker said the question:
naire questioned his loyalty. The
department last week issued a
statement saying Mr.. Baker had
answered Mr.. Cassity's question:
naire satisfactorily and that the
case was being dropped.
Reporters questioned Mr.. Ben
son at length about the Baker
incident, but got little from him.
The Secretary, who said he had
not gone into the matter per-
sonally, commented he was sure
Mr.. Classify had carried out his
duties in a flair and objective
manner" on a routine case"

CHAMBER TO ERECT CORRECTIONAL SIGNS
 TO BUSINESS AREA

At a board of directors meet ing of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce, it was voted to have two small road signs, approximately four by eight feet in size, painted and erected near the corners of Val ley and Railroad streets where they intersect the Glenn high way.
 The signs will carry the fol lowing wording: PALMER BUSI- NESS DISTRICT, Heart of the Matanuska Valley Directional arrows will be located under the lettering.
 The sign project is one that the local Chamber has been working on for a number of years. Some Chamber members have indicated their preference for large over-the-highway signs that would go from one side of the highway to the other. The initial costs of such signs and their maintenance was believed by the directors to be prohibit i've at this time However, in rec ognition of the acute need of signs to indicate the business section, the directors voted to have the smaller ones made and erected immediately.
 Other business conducted at the meeting included the discus sion of preliminary plans for the annual Christmas party for val ley children It was pointed out that membership fees in the To- cal Chamber this year included amounts for the party. However. a number of former members have not yet paid their dues and it will be necessary to contact some of the merchants for dona- tiens toward the annual party.
 Members are reminded that at the first Chamber meeting in December nomination of off cers for the coming year will be held.

Make Reservations For Holiday Calls, MIA Manager Says

Alaskans planning to make overseas telephone calls around Thanksgiving and Christmas are reminded that to be sure their calls get through reservation should be made. Robert Part ridge, MIA manager, said this week that by making a reserva- tion the caller may be reason ably sure his call will get through at a more or less specific time
 A savings on overseas calls may be had by making calls on night rates which are in effect from 6 pm. to 4:30 am. at which time regular rates are reduced. This same reduced rate applies on Sundays but is not in effect on Thanksgiving day. Christmas and New Year days do come un- der the reduced rate. however.
 Those planning to send holi- day greetings by telegram may do so by calling the Palmer ACS office during business hours and charging the telegram to their telephone account During the hours when the local ACS office is closed, telephone subscribers may call their telegram messages to the Anchorage ACS office without toll charge between Palmer and Anchorage There are no reduced telegram rates, however, it was pointed out that messages sent on the night letter rate always go at a lesser rate than straight wire sent during the daytime.

STREET PAVING
 PROPOSAL TO BE
 FULLY EXPLAINED

Following a lengthy discussion on street paving at theNovember B meeting of the City Council, members voted their approval to call for another bond election.
 The date for the election has not been set. Prior to the cleo tion, city officials will have re- ceived estimated costs of paving from the Bureau of Public Roads and other pertinent information All of this information will be made public prior to the election, through newspaper articles aIfd possible public meetings that have been proposed by two area organizations.
 City officials stated that every effort will be made to answer any and all questions in regards to how the paving will be paid for, where it will be located; when it will be done and other questions that have been asked repeatedly since the bond pro- posai was turned down in the October election.
 Mayor Wilson pointed out that in voting for the proposed bond issue all the voter is doing is giving the city authorization to sell bonds so that when the pro- perty owners request street pay ing the money will be available for the work. 1t is of utmost im- poftanee that we have this ap- proxal if we are going to take ad- vantage of economical paving during the time when the con tractors are in the city doing the Bureau of Public Roads paving"
 The BPR will do the paving they have previously announced and will be calling for bids from the contractors by February l. If Palmer is to take advantage of the contractors presence in the city his spring, city officials will have to know within a short time just how much paving is wanted on city streets so that the con- tractor may figure the work in with the BPR work, hereby giv- ing the city a much better price. It was pointed out that the BPR will be paving only strip down the center of the road If the city can pave on both sides of this strip at the same time, it will pay off in years to come through dust control easier parking, and much less maintenance costs. It was pointed out that strip paving only will not solve the dust prob lem.
 The logical place to start pav- ing i'll any city is in the business section where the heaviest flow of traffic is noted, Council man pointed out. Everyone will benefit from it whether or not their property is located in that section, through the dust control, easier travelling and parking, and much, much less maintenan- ce With the heavier travelled sec ton paved it will allow the city street department personnel and equipment more time for work on smaller streets. It will allow time to prepare other streets for
