JUNEAU LR - The President of the State Board of Education yesterday rapped reports of dis content within the Department of Education as "a disservice to education in Alaska
 The statement was made by George E. Smith of Palmer at the conclusion of an extended meeting of the Board of Educa- ton in Juneau.
 The regular three-day session was continued an additional three days to look into recent resigna tions of several key members of the staff of the Education De- partment.
 Rep. Edgar Baggen of Fair banks, who recently called for "Close look" into the administra- tive direction of the Department of Education, took sharp issue with Smiths statement.
 Baggen was joined by several members of the House Commit tee on Health, Welfare and Edu- cation, who, together with Baggen, sat in on a number of meetings.
 Several members of the Board of Education came and thanked us personally for bringing this feeling of discomfort, which has been evident, out into the open, Baggen said.
 "They indicated they had known about the feeling for some time and were glad to have something concrete to start with.
 ''I cannot understand the state. ment of the board in this con- nection," Baggen added.
 Baggen said he felt the prob lem lay to a large degree in the state constitutions requirement that the Commissioner of Edu- cation be a member of the gover- nor's cabinet and, as such, a

Nikita Will Stay
 Away from Start Of U. N. Session

MOSCOW R - Against a back ground of mounting Soviet hos tility toward the Kennedy Ad- ministration, Premier Khrushchev has decided to stay away from the start of the U. N. General Assembly session next Tuesday and send Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko to head the Soviet delegation.
 Diplomats felt that Khrushchev decided not to attend the assemb- 1y-at least at the start-because the time is not yet right for a meeting with the new President. who is still working out his foreign policies.
 An article in the government newspaper Izvestia indicated that as the Kennedy Administration comes up with it's own policies, they are not to Moscow's liking.
 Izvestia said it had sensed hints of thorough cleaning of Gen. Eisenhower's Augean Stables with the coming of a new boss to the White House."
 Nov, toward the end of Febru- any," Izvestia went on, "the inn pression is that Washington has gotten used to the stink of the un- cleaned stables" It singled out U. s. policy in Asia and Africa and called the policy two-faced. The government organ accused the United States of attempting to show a friendly face toward emerging nations on the two con- tinents while actually working with colonial powers.

Mt. Edgecumbe Nursing School Will Shut Down

ANCHORAGE R - The Mt. Edgecumbe School of Practical Nursing, operated by the U. s. Public Health Service, will be closed following the graduation of the present class. Announce ment of the closure was made by Dr. Kazumi Kasuga, area medical officer in charge of the U. s. Pub lie Health Service.
 The decision to close the school was based on the decline in the number of qualified native appli- cants. The smaller enrolment has made the cost of maintaining the program excessive, and practical nursing is available elsewhere for natives, Kasuga said.
 The Anchorage Community Col lege is negotiating with the state in the hope of establishing a school of practical nursing next fall, the doctor said.
 Kasuga said that pr. J. Fred Oesterle, medical officer in charge of the ANHS Hospital at Mt. Edgecumbe, wishes to express his thanks to those who have assisted in developing the training pro- gram and to those who have served on the nursing schools ad- visory council.
 The practical nurse training was made available through the Bureau of Indian Affairs vocation al program.

Urges Creation
 Of Mental Health Clinic Within State

JUNEAU R - An Anchorage psychiatrist recommended to a House committee last night that a separate Department of Mental Health be created within the State Administration, headed by a full scale commissioner.
 "We must do something about the mental health setup in the state or the whole thing is going to fall apart" Dr. J. Ray Langdon told the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Education.
 Dr. Langdon, Chairman of the Mental Health Committee of the Alaska State Medical Assn, for merly served as assistant chief of the Division of Mental Health under the State Department of Health and Welfare.
 He told the committee that Alaska has the highest rate of homicides, suicides and accidents, and is second only to Nevada in percentage Of divorce.
 "There is no question but that emotional problems of Alaskans are one of the states major con- cerns," he said.
 He added that the admission rate of Alaskan patients at Morn ingside Hospital in Portland, which takes state patients on a contractual basis, has been in- creasing at the rate of 20 per cent during the past few years. Many of these, however, are voluntary admissions for treatment pur- poses.
 Dr. Langdon said the states most pressing need is for outpa- tient clinics in the heavily popu- lated areas. He said such clinics might be established through local initiative, assisted by the state matching funds.
 He also recommended comple- tion at the earliest possible date of the acute treatment center at An chorage's Providence Hospital
 The acute treatment center could be supplemented wherever possible by specially staffed treat ment centers in the hospitals of other communities, he said

Reports of Discomfort Within Dept. Of Education Calls for ''ClOse Look"

political appointee.
 Baggen, former president of the Fairbanks School Board, has in- troduced bill which would place the State Board of Education at the head of the department, with administrative and budgetary powers. The commissioner would serve at the pleasure of the board.
 Baggen's bill has been approved by the Health, Welfare and Edu- cation Committee and is now being studied by the Committee on State Affairs.
 The Board of Education's state ment, as released by Smith, read in part:
 "The requirements of the State Constitution and the Administra- tive Procedures Act concerning education have been condemned by many Alaskan educators.
 'FMr Smith stated that he felt their assumption that education under the new laws had been sub- ordinated to political expediency has not been borne out by fact.
 ''He (Smith) felt that some edu- cators who refused to acknow- ledge requirements of the new procedures had evidenced strongly uncooperative attitude which has complicated the admin istration of the department"
 The boards statement compli mented Gov Egan "for his CO., operating and continuing interest in the advancement of education in Alaska"
 And it added that Smith felt many initial difficulties encount- cred by the Department of Edu- cation during the transitional period have been overcome"
 Asked for comments, Dr. Theo J. Norby, State Commissioner of Education said only that he con- cured fully with the boards statement.

Two Released Pliers To Hold News Conference

WASHINGTON lR - The De- fense Department, ending a si- lence it imposed, said two RB-47 pilots released by the Soviet Union will hold a news confer ence in Topeka, Kan, on Friday.
 It said Capts. Freeman Olm- stead and John McKone, held for seven months after their plane was shot down, will be available to newsmen at Forbes Air Force Base Friday afternoon.

Gov. Egan Will Allow Pay Slash to Become Law Without His Signature

JUNEAU tR - Gov. Egan noti- fled the Legislature today he planned to let the legislative pay bill become law without his sig nature.
 The Senate completed action on the pay bill last Friday and Egan received it Monday. His decision to let the bill become law with out his signature follows pre- cedent.
 With Egan declining to sign the bill, it means that all legis- lators will continue to draw the old rate of per diem and annual ray until March IT, which would be the effective date of the bill.
 Per diem for all legislators, for instance, would continue at $40 until March IT. If the Legisla- ture meets it's goal of a 60-day session. The new per diem rate would apply for only six days of the 1861 meeting.
 Annual pay, too, would con- tinue at the old rate until March IT, then would be trimmed to the $2,500 year called for un- der terms of the new pay bill.
 The governor, under the Con- stitution, has Is days to sign or veto bill after he receives it.. If he does not sign it or does not veto it, it automatically becomes law 15 days after he receives it.

New Air Control Center Will Handle Jet Age Flying in the Pacific

HONOLULU R - A new $4 5 million communications and air control center to handle jet age flying in the Pacific was opened today by the Federal Aviation Agency.
 The center was built on the floor of Diamond Head Crater, an extinct volcano just off Waikiki Beach.
 FAA officials said the concrete structure should withstand the blast of a 100-megaton nuclear bomb hit on Pearl Harbor, 30 miles away. The building has no windows and is air-conditioned.
 The center has a dual role. Its air route traffic control will speed jet traffic in and out of Honolulu. Its international flight station will expediate international air traffic control and weather communica- tions between Asia and the United States.
 About 160 employees control air traffic in an area of about 5.4 million square miles. The U. S. mainland, by comparison, covers about 3.2 million.
 The control room is in immedi- ate touch with Anchorage, San Francisco, Canton Island, Fiji, Samoa, Australia, Wake Island, Guam, the Philippines, Tokyo, Midway and Kwajalein.
