caucus if he lost the vote of con- fidence.
 Standing Room Only
 Standing room was at prem- ium last Thursday night when the meeting began prior to the walkout. The overflow crowd spilled out into railways and the lobby of the Colonial Room in what is said to have been the largest attendance ever recorded at Soldotna precinct meeting.
 Mullen, announcing that the meeting would be conducted ac- cording to Roberts Rules of Or der and naming a parliamentar- ian, said all regular business would be dispensed with as the meeting was for special business only.
 Mrs. Lottie EdeIman, a spokes- man from the floor insisted that the portion of the minutes from the previous meeting dealing with Mullen's commitment to call the special meeting be read. The spokesman said the wording in the minutes was incorrect and asked that a correction be made, saying that the group understood that Mullen agreed to resign when he agreed to call the spec ial meeting.
 Mullen, temporarily relinquish- ing his chair in order to reply, signified the meeting was for the sole purpose of voting on whether

Demos Stage WaIkout, Elect Precinct Officers After SoIdotna Split

Disruption within the ranks of the Soldotna Democratic Precinct was climaxed last Thursday night with the dramatic walkout of about two-thirds of those assem- oled to attend a special meeting called for the naming of a pre- cinct chairman.
 The surprise move resulted in the formation of dual precinct or ganizations, with one faction con- tlnulng the meeting called in the Colonial Room and the other. the. walkout group, holding it's meet ing in the Soldotna Community Hall.
 Each group maintains it held the only legal precinct meeting. Each group designated a precinct chairman. The Walkout group, casting a total of 61 ballots, also elected additional officers and a precinct committee.
 R. L Bob Schmidt. commer- eial fisherman, was elected Sol- dotaa Democratic Precinct chair

man by the walkout group. Other officers elected were Wallace Creary, vice chairman, and Rusty (Mrs. Larry) Lancashire, secre- tary. Elected unanimously to the precinct committee were Dan Marshall, Ray Girves, Russell Bagley, Charley Hill and Bill Gibbs.
 Frank Mullen, whose position as precinct chairman has been matter of controversy since the November general election, re- ceived the support of those re- maining after the walkout. Of the 42 ballots cast on the question as to whether he should continue to remain as precinct chairman or should be recalled from office, two persons voted for his recall and 40 were for him to be retain ed.
 In a prior meeting early in Jan uary, Mullen committed himself by agreeing that if he should lose a vote of confidence at that meet ing he would schedule a recall caucus for the purpose of elect ing a precinct chairman. Of the TT ballots cast at that time, 32 votes favored and 45 were against the extension of confidence. Thursday nights meeting was for the specific purpose of naming a precinct chairman.
 Mullen has been in disfavor with the Southcentral District Democratic Committee since the general election when he failed to support Allan L. Petersen, De- mocratie nominee for the Alaska House of Representatives from District 10, and waged a write in campaign for the same office. Petersen lost the post by nar- row margin to Glenn V. Tillion, Republican nominee.
 District officials con t ended Mullensass precinct chairman, was duty bound to support the party candidate and by waging his own write-in campaign had aided in bringing about Petersen's defeat. Mullen was asked to resign his precinct seat and refused to do so. The Southcentral District Committee then refused to recog- nize Mullen as precinct chairman and refused him 8 seat in the district meeting held in Anchor age.
 Chuck Roser. precinct vice chairman who supported Mullen, also was refused recognition by the District Committee and Mrs. Lancashire, precinct secretary, was appointed acting precinct chairman and given voting privil- eges in the district meeting.
 Russ Meekins, chairman of the Southcentral District Committee, explained the committees stand when he met with the Soldotna group at the meeting in which Mullen agreed to call the special

Delta Council
in opposition
to "medicare ("

Members of the Delta Coun-
|cil Health Committee, meet
ling in Greenville on May 3,
Expressed unalteralble opposi-
ltion to the King-AnderSon
E"Medicare" bills and all SINH
liar and related measures
and called upon the Missis-
sippi Congressional Delega-
ton to exercise it's fullest in
|fluence in bringing about de-
feat of this legislation.
At the same time the COM
mittee, headed by Wade w.
Hollowell of Greenville, reaf-
lfirmed faith and confidence
in private medicine and vol
untary financing of medi
lcal care.
The agenda for the meeting
also included discussions OF
the charity program in Mis-
sissippi, nursing homes and
lconvalescent care and nipple
mentation of the kerr-MlllS
program.
Members of the Health Com
mittee expressed their belief
that the American system OF
privately purveyed, voluntar-
lily and privately financed
medical care is Infinitely
superior to any system con-
trolled by government and
that the enactment OF pro-
posed legislation would fail to
Iachieve the goals claimed
py it's proponents while in
creasing the tax burden upon
every working American.
"Such a law would sociallze
american medicine and dis
rupt the cash-benefit concept
inherent in the Social Securl-
nv system," q statement
adopted by the committee as
serted.
"Still another concern IN
this connection is the enorml-
tv of the tax burden assoclat-
ed with the bills" the com
mittee statement continued.
Social Security tax alone
would be fixed at 9.75 percent
on a wage base of $1,000 by
1868. In the first year, this
bill would cause a tax IN
crease upon Mississippi en-
ployers and workers of 81 mil
lion. In 1861, Mississippi wage
earners paid 1852 million IN
Social Security taxes. Enact,
.ment of this measure Woulo
raise such taxes to at least
1852 million in less than live
years"
The committee also adopt
ed policy statements recognl-
ling and commencing the vi
tai role that Blue Cross-Blue
Shield is playing in develop
ing the future security OF MIS-
sissippi, urging that every Ct
fort be made during the 1864
General Session of the Mlssls-
sippi Legislature to OBTAIN
adequate appropriations tor
charity patient care, asked Tor
enactment of State Leglsla-
tons that would provide funds
to fully implement the Kerr
| Mills program in the State,
and offered it's services to the
State Board of Health IN ettec-
ting an improvement in taci-
lities for health care OF the
aged.

RADIATION HAZARDS

SALISBURY, Southern Rhode sia Mathematician airline pilots holding their annual conference here urged Friday that supersonic passenger aircraft now under de- velopment be protected against radiation.
 The pilots noted that the super sonic airliners being developed in the United States and by a British French company are designed to fly at much higher attitudes than present jet airliners. They said this would expose them to radia- ton hazards.

Castro Against
 Following Moscow Line Too Closely

PARIS R Prime Minister Fidel Castro of Cuba was reported to hold a low opinion of Com munist party leaders in satellite countries who slavishly follow the Moscow line. He was quoted as saying he had no intention of ac- cepting Soviet Premier Khrush- chev's edict on abstract art.
 Castro's views were given in an interview with Claude Julien, correspondent of the newspaper Le Monde. The newspaper pub lished the second part of a two- part interview.
 What support did we get dur ing the blockade last October when we were on the edge of a major conflict?" Castro was quoted as asking. Where were any big mass demonstrations in our favor noticed? What did the revolution aries of Europe and Latin America do?
 ''Only the Venezuelans reacted then. But the big parties which call themselves revolutionary did not budge. They are not revolu- tionaries, but bureaucrats. They are satellites.
 Each time Moscow makes a de- cision, whatever it is, the satellites applaud all over the world. Khrushchev Withdraws his missiles from Cuba without consulting us and all the satellites cry 'Khrush- chev has done very well for the cause of peace And when Khrush- chev, at the Moscow Exhibition Hall, criticizes abstract art, the satellites, here, ask me to forbid abstract painting.
 And I tell them that our en- emies are capitalism and imperial ism, and not abstract paints"
 In an interview published, the paper quoted Castro as saying:
 q cannot approve Khrushchev's promising President Kennedy to withdraw his missiles without the slightest reference to the indispen- sable agreement of the Cuban gov ernment. It is true that it was a matter of Soviet missiles which were beyond our direct control But they were on Cuban soil and nothing should have been decided without consulting us"

Gruening Asks Legislatures Support For Rampant Dam

JUNEAU R - US. Sen. Ernest Gruening asked the legislature Sat urday to support Alaska's congress sional delegation in pressing for construction of Rampant Dam.
 In an address before a joint session of the House and Senate, Gruening said that construction of Rampant on the Yukon River would do much toward solving AL aska's economic problems after "92 years of colonialism."
 Gruening said that while the congressional delegation had pres sed for federal assistance for the rehabilitation of Alaska's salmon fishery and the states ailing gold mining industry, help for the states economy must be sought in other areas.
 "I personally consider that the most important contribution which the federal government could make to Alaska's economy would be the construction of Rampant Dam.
 "The coming of low cost power would bring vast new industry to Alaska which would develop the resources which already are here.
 "To this end, we need the SUD- port of the legislature because there is some oposition to Rampant even in Alaska"
 Gruening said that construction of the dam is feared by some con- servationists in connection wi h salmon runs of the Yukon and the flooding of waterfowl es t i n g grounds.
 Gruening also asked legislative support for remedial action in connection with Alaska's air trans portation problems.
 'The Civil Aeronautics Board has very little understanding of Alaska's needs" he said.
 ''The CAB does not understand that Alaska has very few high ways and little passenger trans portation, and depends very large ly on air travel.
 And now that we have a thor oughly satisfactory air service, the CAB is determined to wreck that"
 He cited CAB suggestions that Pan American Airways service to Alaska be abolished, that North west Airlines service be limited to service to the Orient, and that Pa- cific Northern Airlines be com- bined with Alaska Airlines.
 ''This is matter which an ap- propriate legislative committee might look into," he said.

Kennedy Endorses Japanese Taking
 Boring Sea Halibut

CHICAGO R-The White House announced from Chicago Saturday President Kennedy's endorsement of a proposed agreement u n r which Japanese fishing for halibut in the eastern Boring SeaV Vwould be permitted. The announcement said the Pre- sident took action in accordance with the North Pacific Fisheries Act of 1854 In taking action, the President accepted the recommen- dation of the International North P a cific Fisheries Commission which would permit Japanese to share the eastern Boring waters along with U. s. and Canadian fishermen if Canada and Japan also accept.
 Kennedy was in Chicago for ceremonies dedicating Chlcago's O'Hare International Airport.
 The announcement continued:
 ''In reaching this decision we have not only taken into account our international obligations but also the domestic tors which have come to our attention.
 We consider that this action advances the cause of the principle of abstention which is at the heart of the tri-partite fisheries treaty of 1852 and which provides a reason able, workable and essential pro- cedure for dealing w ith certain major, North Pacific Fishery prob lemS.
 We are determined to work for the continuation of this principle and of the treaty in which it is set forth.
 we are cognizant of the Com missions recent successful efforts on conservation measures which, if accepted by the three parties to the tripartite treaty, will provide a suitable protection for eastern Der | ing Sea halibut. This action will not take effect until the Canadian government takes similar action
