Leite Sewer Project Gains Approval

Most property owners in the Le- ite addition expressed themselves as favorable to the. City going ahead with the sewer construction in that area.
 A petition circulated by o. K. Chandler, protesting the project, had signatures of less than 35 per cent of the property owners in the area, insufficient to stop the prof ect. Chandler appeared at the Council meeting last night, voicing objection to the sewer construc- tion. Others from the area were also present who stated they fa- vored the project. Feb. was clos ing date for objections to be head.
 A bond issue will be voted on to finance the project when an cleo tion will be held March 27.

 A further study will also be made on the ice condition in the small boat harbor. It was suggested that the City iron bark the bottom of the Cohoe, AF&G Department boat, so that it can be used as an icebreaker. A system of water aeriation also was suggested.

all. Maybe we shouldn't pamper the prisoners, or make their jail en- vironment too attractive.
 Here's an item from Mrs. Paul Beard, Storekeeper at Ouzinkie:
 Bird dog carries things little too far. Now hunts from plane. Wednesday afternoon "Whiskers" John Panamaroffs' black labrador from Ouzinkie decided either to hunt by plane or go to Kodiak. He rode the pontoon of Bill Haryey's plane past the docks for several hundred yards and was still hang ing on as the pilot gunned the en- zines for the take-off. Everyone on the dock was wildly waving and yelling to the pilot. with no effect.
 Apparently no-one aboard the plane knew the dog was there. Whiskers finally gave up as the plane started to rise. He was swim ming for Ouzinkie when our noble hero, Norm Opheim, pulled him from the water. All the thanks Norm got for depositing him back on the beach was a good wetting down.

Permits Required On Kodiak Refuge

A permit is required before building or using a cabin located on the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, according to Dick Hensel of the local U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. Anyone using cabins, such as those located at gillnet sites, who does not notify the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is subject to refusal of such a permit and ar rest in accordance with federal regulations.
 These regulations apply only to lands within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge which necessi- tates each person applying for permit to give an accurate descrip- tion in respect to longitude and lat itude bearings to enable federal authorities to ascertain whether or not cabin locations come under fed eral jurisdiction. If these locations are on the refuge, each applicant must pay fee of $25.O0 before a permit can be issued Permit fees and applications for the year 1862 were due this past January. These regulations apply to those people who have cabins or permanent structures located outside village boundaries and patented lands. Tent Camps and temporary struc- lures do not require a permit pro- vided they are removed within 90 days since they were established.
 For further information contact Dick Hensel of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife office in Kodiak.

Wages & Hours Bill Hearing Concluded

Juneau R-Union Labor Repre- sentative Henry Hedburg yester- day described the legislative-ap- proved wages and hours act re- vision, SB93, as "bill for little peo- pie"
 Hedburg was the last person to appear before the Senate, which sitting as committee of the whole, held a five-hour hearing. The Sen ate approved House changes in the bill last Thursday and was ready to send it to Governor Egan, when it decided to delve further into the measure.
 Hedburg said the bill was boon to the wage earner without union representation.
 A series of witnesses represent ing individual businesses and groups of businesses preceded Hedburg to the stand to urge the Senate to rescind it's action. Cor don Barr, a Petersburg baker, told the Senators, Eff you really are in- terested in putting people to work you should make work week of more than 40 hours illegal"

The dignity of the court receives quite a setback on coming to Ko- diak.
 Ironically, we have one of the most up-to-date courtrooms in the state, with facilities for conducting court sessions entirely adequate and leaving very little to be de- sired. Yet Judge Davis had to hold sessions of the court these past few days in the Fishermen's Hall - a building suitable for its purpose, but offering little in the way of a proper atmosphere for court ses- sion.
 Justice we suppose, can be ad- ministered even in barn, but it is sad that a State that talks budget wise in terms of $78 million can't afford to furnish its court system adequate facilities for the few days in the year it meets here.
 *
 Also, as someone pointed out, we have one of the finest jail facilities here, and yet, our prisoners are housed in make-do, ill-ventilated, and certainly inadequate jail that leaves much to be desired.
 Maybe this is the right idea after

Chamber Supports Guides Protest

The Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Thursday voted to oppose passage of bill that would create an Alaskan Guides Association.
 The bill, originated by Rep. D. Harris of McGrath, would place the power of regulating guides in the hands of a selected commits sioner. According to Ali Madsen, who asked the Chambers support in opposing the measure, guides would have to be bonded, which he said is totally unnecessary.
 Bill Poland, who also opposed the measure, stated that the bill if enacted would be detrimental to the business. He said it was an at tempt to form an organization of guides, which he said, had been tried before with little success.
 The Chamber members voted unanimously favoring the paying of the so-called Reed fund debt from ESC funds and from current income of the State, rather than by imposing an extra tax on busi- ness as is now being done.
 Also, a resolution was passed commenting George c. Ameigh Jr., for his putting together his book on Kodiak, which it was said would result in much favorable publicity for Kodiak.
 President of the e m b r, Chuck" Powell in his half-yearly report commended some commit tees for being extremely active and doing a good job. He cited Art Brooks, chairman of the Tourist committee, who, he said, worked hard on his committee last sum- mer.
 Powell stated the Chamber has had no luck in the effort to open the Pillar Mountain road.
 Ray Martin, speaking on Crab Festival plans, stated bids are be- ing asked for on a car to be raf- fled off. Other plans are being formed and will be announced shortly.
 Powell stated letters had been received from Senators Bartlett and Gruening and Rep. Rivers, which stated the Chambers re- quest for support of Kodiak as missile supply site was received and will be considered.
 Visitors in attendance were James Tapscott, Glen Irving and Harold Eilers.
 The members voted to hold meeting of the group every week while the legislature is in session.

Who Is AnswerubIe?

Mr.. Kennedy did not use the
words executive privilege" in his
letter of direction to Mr.. McNa-
mara. He listed in detail how the
Secretary had co-operated with
the subcommittee. He asserted
that it would be impossible for the
Secretary to maintain an orderly
department, to receive candid ad-
vice and loyal respect of subordi-
mates, if they we're to be individu-
ally answerable to Congress for
their internal acts and advice.
Then he came to the therefore"
paragraph in which he mentioned
the "precedents on separation of
powers" and found that it would
be contrary to the public interest"
to permit Pentagon underlings to
bear the brunt of congressional
inquiry into policies which are the
responsibilities of their superiors"

given the Grand Old Party a
needed shot in the arm.
First, it buoys Republican hopes
for ending what will be the Demo-
Gratis 14-year hold on the State
House in Michigan.
Second, if he wins and the Re
publicans are highly confident
that this amateur in politics will
defeat the incumbent Governor,
John B. Swainson-he will be in a
strong position to vie for the 1864
presidential nomination, adding
spice to the race in which Sen
ator Goldwater of Arizona and
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller Of New
York already are engaged.
With Mr.. Romney now in the
Michigan contest, the Republicans
have strong gubernatorial can
didates this year in three of the
Nations largest States. Former
Vice President Nixon is running
in California and Gov. Rockefel-
Ter is standing for reelection in
New York. Should all three win,
the party would be in a much
stronger position to battle Presi-
dent Kennedy for the White House

Romney Position

Not much is known by the gen.
eral public about Mr.. Romney's
positions on major national and
international issues. But his phi
: losophy has been described as that
of q Jeffersonian Democrat. He OPP
poses Big Government, Big Bust
ness and Big Labor. He would cut
the latter two down to size
with new antitrust laws. AS for
Government, he would seek to
have the States and local units
take more responsibilities.
Mr.. Nixon is credited with hav-
ing had a strong hand in project
ing Mr.. Romney, a Mormon, into
active politics. Former President
Eisenhower also made it known
that like Likes George"
The Romney announcement did
not come as any surprise even
though he undertook a 24-hour
fast last week to seek Divine
guidance before making public his

Marine Quiz

Meanwhile, a side issue Wed for
the headlines with the "muzzling"
controversy.
Two investigators assigned to
Senator Thurmond, South Caro-
lima Democrat, who spanked the
present inquiry, arranged with
Marine officers to quiz a group
of Marines to- determine how well
informed they were about COM
munism, Americanism and inter-
national affairs.
The first stories that came out
were rather lurid with reports of
Marines being herded into room
and kept behind locked doors
while they filled out the question
naires. Senator Thurmond- &C
cused the Pentagon of leaking
such a version. He said that the
quizzing of the Marines had been
arranged two days before it was
given with the cooperation of Ma
rine liaison officers.
Two Democratic Senators, both
former Marines, denounced the
quiz on the floor of the Senate
and had fun with some of the
questions contained in the ques-
tionnaire. Gen. David M. Shoup.
Marine Commandant, repeatedly
blew his stack" when he heard
of the quiz.
Why he was not told by the
Marine officers who helped sched-
ule it makes another interesting
question.

Rockefeller and Senator Gold
water, the latter indirectly.
He twitted the Governor for OPP
posing his plan to form a new
Department of Urban Affairs, as
sorting that Mr.. Rockefeller sew
eral years ago favored a similar
proposal. And, taking up the
Governors criticism that the Pres
ident announced he would appoint
Robert Weaver, a Negro, as first
head Of the new agency, Mr.. Ken
nedy pointed out that Mr.. Essen
hover had disclosed that he was
going to name Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby as Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare before
Congress approved the new de-
partment.
Then, the President, who strives
hard, but rarely successfully, for
a dead-pan expression when he
quips or needles, noted that Mr..
Rockefeller became Mrs. Hobbys
Undersecretary.
Mr.. Kennedy, in his next jibe,
got Mr.. Rockefeller and Senator

though he misinterpreted news

Inquiries:
Showdown

Defense Secretary Mcnamara,
acting on President Kennedy's
orders, invoked executive priv
ilege" in refusing to identify
PentagOn censOrs at a public
hearing Of a Senate SubcOm-
mittee investigating "muzzling"
of military officers. Hearings
will go on. Quizzing of Marines
on communism by subcOmmit-
tee staffers set off a peripheraI
squabble.
The doctrine of executive priv
ilege," which rests on the con-
stitutional grounds of the sepa-
ration of governmental powers,
has been relied upon by Presidents
from the days of George Wash
ington.
The right" Of the President not
to give information to Congress
has rarely been challenged and
never successfully. The fights
flare when executive subordinates
are requested to furnish informa-
ton to the legislative branch and
they refuse to do so, with the
Presidents permission.
A Supreme Court decision MAR
bury VS.. Madison) in 1903 sup
ported the presidential prerogative
when it declared that persons ap-
pointed by the President "act by
his authority"
On Thursday, after his Secre-
tary of Defense, Robert McNa-
mara, had exhausted all avenues
for avoiding an invocation of lex
ecutive privilege" in a duel with
the Senate Armed Services Sub
committee, President nedy
made his decision. The narrow
issue at stake was this:
The subcommittee demanded
that the Pentagon's head censor
reveal in public session the names
of his associates and the precise
words and passages each had de-
leted from speeches by high-rank-
ing military officers. Mr.. McNa-
mara refused to permit him to do
this.
Actually, as the President
pointed out, the Subcommittee has
interviewed each censor privately,

Committee Bows

Only the Supreme Court could
decide the issue, if each side had
persisted in its stand. But OBJ
viously this would be Impractical.
And so, the Subcommittee quickly
bowed. Chairman Stennis said the
invocation of executive privi-
lege" was valid in the circum-
stances.
Who would win a Supreme
Court test makes for some inter-
esting speculation, because in the
present case the military is in
volved and the Constitution pro-
vides both branches ammunition.
Article II, Section 2, states that
1.-THE President shall be the Com
mander- n-chief of the Army and
Navy of the United States. ;"

clares:

To provide and maintain

Cuba buys more from Canada
than she sells ($21.5 million as
against $4.6 million for the first
nine months of 1850, this trade
is draining away Cuban dollars
which might otherwise be spent
on Subversion and sabotage.
The real point, however, as
Americans see it, is whether or
not Canadian-Cuban trade tends
to strengthen Castro. Few on the
American side of the border doubt
that it does. The exchange may
be more profitable to Canada than
to Cuba, but international trade
normally benefits both sides.
What the United States is ask
ing, therefore, is that Canada
make financial sacrifice for the
sake of helping contain and ul-
timately evict communism from
the hemisphere.
The Economic Effect
The 5000 cigar workers Of
Tampa, Fla, are making such a
sacrifice. They face unemploy-
ment if their supplies of Havana
tobacco, cut off last week by the
United States embargo cannot be
replaced elsewhere by the time
stockpiles run out-a very difficult
and perhaps impossible task.
The U. N. Special Fund has a
related problem. There is pending a
plan to study and assist in the
diversification of Cuban agricul-
ture.
Paul G. Hoffman, managing d.
rector of the fund and former
head of the Marshall plan, is an
anti Communist as they come.
But he is seriously considering
putting the Cuban-aid plan into
effect.
The Special Fund, he says, is
supposed to be nonpolitical; it
helps people, not governments.
No aid plan has ever before been
denied on political or ideolo-
gical grounds. Even the United
States, it is pointed out, is selling
Cuba food and medicine.
Nevertheless, if the project goes
through, there is sure to be an
explosion of protest in the United
States which could damage flu
ture American contributions to the
fund, one of the most highly
praised U. N. activities.
Thus Castro is stirring disaffec-
ton in Latin America; he is set
ting two such good friends as
Canada and the United States at
each others Threats; and he is
helping Nikita Khrushchev under
mine American support for the
U. N.
He is building up a military
force of not inconsiderable nui-
Sance value. He might one day
provoke the United States into
direct intervention which would
set back hemisphere solidarity by
two generations. He is pitting
Americans against each other.
Castro is worth his weight in
mink stoles to the Kremlin.

Trouble Over Cuba

cate a weakening of the Canadian
attitude on trade with Fidel
Castro.
while naturally Canada, is
most DESTROYS of cooperating at
all times with friendly nations"
the Prime Minister said, 1.-The de-
cision as to the course Canada
shall take should be made by
Canada on the basis of policies
which we believe are appropriate
to Canada"
Diefenboker Appeal
1t may be wrong to dismiss this
as merely a gentle rebuke to Mr..
Rusk. The government here will
soon appeal to the voters for re-
election. For political reasons it
would be difficult for the Diefen-
baker administration to reverse it
self now on this matter on which
it has taken such strong anti
American position. The Prime
Minister might have enhanced his
political image by much sharper
retort to Mr.. Rusk. The fact that
he chose to equivocate may mean
much in terms of action after
the election.
The Prime Minister defended
his government against the i'm
putation that Castro is using Ca
madam trade dollars to support
Communists in Venezuela, Pan
anna and other nations. Canada
sells Cuba five times as much
as it buys from Cuba, he said, and
so instead of supplying Castro
with dollars, Canadian trade soaks
up dollars Castro gets from other
sources.
He made it clear that in his
opinion the "other sources" were
the United States, which has been
buying twice as much from Cuba
as it has been selling there. Presi-
dent Kennedy's subsequent action
to put complete embargo on all
United States trade with Cuba
will make it more difficult for the
Cubans to buy for dollars, but
there is little likelihood that they
will lack dollars to obtain their
needs from Canada.

For fiscal 1868 the bureau will

biggest headaches, the bureau will
seek legislation to solve the heir
ship problem. It is hoped Con-
gress will authorize tribes to buy
small tracts of idle land owned
by many heirs and so subdivided
that no agreement on its use can
be reached.
To make some of the reser-
walton land help pay its way, the
Secretary of Interior now opposes
per capita payments when tribes
come into money from judg-
ments on land claims. Judgment
funds, he says, should go for basic
economic development of tribal
land, not into individual pay
mentS.
Finally, to help more Indians

plans to return to the former
policy of using Indian labor on

History Of U. S. Aid
How did the Government get
into the Indian business? When

States coded to the Federal Gov

as well as treaty making, was
the business of the day. After
