In similar fashion, Chancel-
lor's success as a member Of the
NBC news team bears out the
law first stated by DR.. Frank
Baxter, whose Shakespearean
lectures were a TV delight of
several seasons ago.
To communicate successfully
in this medium, he said, as au-
ditors leaned forward to grasp
the words Of wisdom, you've
got to be part ham. I am" he
grinned happily.
It's not who is being replaced
that is meaningful here, but
what. And the what" is the
network concept Of how the
morning show should be manned
and run.
NBC News, not MICS Pro-
gramming Department, not
Chancellor, will be in charge.
No overnight development,
this.
The. Today show started out
with a far greater emphasis on
entertainment than on news.
CHS once tried to compete by
hiring Jack Paar, who featured
a band, singers, and small jokes,
and who flopped in short order.
1t is more than a theory that

er have a fill-in on what's 60
ing on in the world (and who's
making it go) than the light
yackety which projects 50 re-

late hours.

appointment could be said to
date from that night.)
The new lineup-with Ed
Newman doing the news, Frank
Blair assisting Chancellor
suggests the elimination Of the
thorn in the side of NBC News,
namely the existence, on its
own network, of a separate
news department with its own
views.
All Of this doesn't mean that
success is assured. Chancellor,
"a, q Chicagoan. has the news
background, but he'll have to
grow up and into q demanding
job. One Of the things he'll
have to live with are silly NBC

stories, in itself a unique
tribute to the incredible vigor

One such development was
the building to new peaks by
the Prime Minister of his
feud with the Zionist move
ment, particularly in his out
spoken opinions about Am
erican Jews and their status.
He touched off a worldwide
controversy at the last World

 More than thirty homesteads and farms were given access to by last years pioneer access road construction, the Slikok Valley road, now known as Echo Lake Road, and the Cie- chanski Road, running off of Kalifonsky Beach Road. Both projects cost under $50,000.
 Scheduled to begin "as soon as weather permits" is the Kenai River Park road and the Funny River road, both author ized. The Park road is a two mile strip to service the new state park and the Soidotna air port.

 The petition reads: We, the residents of the Kenai Penin- sula, are unequivoeably op- posed to any housing, either private or company, including trailer houses and other mobile or temporary housing being al lowed to be placed within the confines of the Kenai Moose Reserve. The Kenai Reserve is a nesting ground of the nearly extinct trumpeter swans and reserve of all wi1d1ife, and housing located in the reserve would unquestionab1y be detri- mental, even disastrous to this game reserve"
 According to reports received by the Cheechako News, the pc tition came on the heels of a rumor that a 70-unit trailer court will soon be constructed on the reserve.

that is worth some effort. He said that Beaser indicated that it may be only d matter of ad- ministrative adjustment to open the rights for these homestead CTS.
 Applications may be sent to Gruening or given to AERA of ficers.
 The Bureau of Land Manage ment recently released the news that those who complied with all requirements of the home stead laws, with the possible exception of submission of final proof prior to July g. 1857. will receive the rights.

Kenoi Hearing On TideIonds

A public hearing regarding the classification of tidelands in the Kenai area will be held in the high school gym at 500 pm. on the 21st of March, 1861.
 Representatives of the Divi- sion of Lands will conduct the hearings. and the public, with interest in such lands, is urged to attend.
 Upon Statehood. Alaska re- ceived ownership of all the tide lands. Persons, however, who occupied and developed tide lands prior to Statehood may apply to the State for title to such lands.
 All unoccupied tidelands may be disposed of by lease; how ever, before they are disposed of, they must be classified, such as commercial, recreational, etc.
 The purpose of the hearing is therefore to receive suggestions and recommendations from the public as to the most appropri- ate form of classification of the tideland in the Kenai area.
 The representatives of the di- vision of lands will also be available to answer any ques- tions on all tideland matters.
