 In his letter of resignation Carter stated that " .. l am justly proud of the camp program as it exists this date.

BOROUGH SIZE MAIN TOPIC OF PUBLIC MEETING

Three borough proposals were discussed at public meeting sponsored here Mon day night py the Northland Pioneer Grange. The Matanus- ka-Susitna borough was dis cussed by Robert Vroman. chairman of the local commit tee; Richard Fisher of Anchor age represented the large bor- ough and Scott Hamilton, An chorage, also spoke on advant- ages of a larger borough.
 The greatest part of the meeting was devoted to discus sions of boroughs as whole without too much local em- phasis. Many questions were asked by the area residents in attendance, which indicated much thought is being devoted to the most advantageous type borough, what projected addi- tional costs have been deter mined, and what immediate steps need to be taken.
 Bill Hermman, speaking as an individual, rather than as representative of the local Chamber of Commerce, said that he not only favors a larg- CT borough. but there is a grow ing interest by many persons in the valley area, in the larger concept He pointed out that the chief stumbling block of a borough is a basic fear and dis trust of Anchorage.
 George Fowler said it is a problem to know just how much a borough will cost for operation. Any borough will present problems, he said, and stated he felt that the borough should be of minimum size and minimum government.
 It was pointed out several times at the meeting that three things are required of bor- ough: Zoning and planning education, and the assessment and collection of taxes. All other services would be deter mined by those areas desiring particular services which would not necessarily be re- quired by the entire borough. These areas would then be- come service areas and assume the cost of the special service required.
 School operation costs in An chorage and the Palmer area were compared. Tax rates, road maintenance, and even the Port of Anchorage were brought up in the discussions.
 Although the qeustion of why Wasilla was chosen by the local committee as the bor- ough seat, very little discussion ensued. Vroman stated Wasilla was chosen for it's central To- cation in the proposed borough area.
 James Wilson conducted the meeting.

Proof Is Seen That the Third-Term Ban
For President Has Its Drawbacks
DORIS FLEESON

Republicans have proved
again that the Twenty-sec-
ond Amendment they sped
through the first Eisenhower
Congress was probably a mis-
take from their own point
OF view. In fact, they have
Gen. Eisenhower's word for it.
The former President re-
peatedly jested about the
constitutional bar to o third
term during q day-long eff
fort here to promote Repub-
hcan fortunes In the con-
greSSional election next fall.
He succeeded chiefly in
showing that he hasn't
changed his special brand of
mildly controversial politics
or his equally distinctive
prose.
He is, for example, against
the centralized tendencies Of
the Kennedy administration,
but he believes that no one
except the President, him
self, has the detailed infor-
nation which qualities one
to discuss foreign policy In
any detail. Rather kindly. he
suggested that Mr.. Kennedy
seems to be growing in firm
ness" with respect to foreign
affairs.
Reporters felt completely
at home with the attractive
public personality they had
dealt with for eight years.
The happy homecoming i'm
preston was only heightened
when he had to confess at
one point that he had
skipped a boundary" be-
tween South Wet Nam and
Laos. AS always, his effect
came from what he was,
rather than what he said.

ical innocence reappeared

Present Practice of Spur-of-the-Moment
Replies Called DisseNice to President

What happened here on
wednesday shows clearly that
the present formula for pres
idential news conferences
ought to be abolished. II Is
q disservice to the President,
q disservice to the press. and
q disservice to the country.

swers to reporters questions
not only are sometimes mis-
Leading, but they do not con-
stttute q balanced discussion
OF both sides Of the issues on
which the American people
are entitled TO information.
No President Of the United
states, moreover, ought to put
himself In the position Of
sanctiontng the use Of vulgar
epithets. President Kennedy
was pressed for information
about q remark he had made
at . private session with his
advisers. It had gotten into
print, and he was asked to
verify 1t. He should have dis
posed Of the query with the
comment that the reported
statement was inaccurate" /"
or that no good could come
from further discussion of it.
But. better yet, the ques-
ton could have been COM
pletely ignored A President
has a right to decline to dis
cuss any matter that he does
not think Is in the public
interest. Now the net result Of

LeUpp School
Enrolment Hiqh

Leupp Boa riding School, 30
miles northwest of Winslow,
opened its third year on Sept. 4
with a bulging enrolment of some
825 children from the Leupp and
Shonto areas, according to Ray D.
Scheinost. school principal.
Increase from the 646 enroll
ment last year was brought about
by the fact that the Shonto school
building, in process of construc-
tion, will not be ready to take the
children which had been planned
for that building this year.
To handle this large enroll
ment will require 80 members on
the academic staff and total of los
employees to conduct the boarding
school, its dormitories, kitchens,
dining rooms. etc. the principal
said. Five of these are from the
Shonto school and will be at Leupp
only until that school is ready.
The 825 children at the school
this year are in grades one through
six, with the children in the higher
grades and high school going to
bordertoWn schools such as Flag
staff, which serves the Leupp area.
Some of the older ones goto Phoe-
