If Moi Granted F.
 Suit Will Follow

In a last t-ditch stand to ob- tain a hearing for the Mata- nuska- -Susitna borough peti- ton, the borough committee this week sent a letter to h c Local Affairs Agency, request ing that a hearing be held on or before July l tthe deadline set by Secretary of State Hugh Wade, to allow sufficient time to set up elections before Oct 1.)
 Granting of he hearing ap- pears to hinge on the possibil- ity of getting a sufficient num- Der Of boundary commission members together to hold a hearing, according to state nents made by government officials in Juneau to q Mata- nuska Valley delegation last week.
 Robert Vroman. chairman of the Matanuska-Sasitna peti- tioners, told a meeting of the Palmer City Council on Tues day, June 25, that if the re- quest for hearing is not granted, the petitioners will take steps to file an aggrieV- ance with the Supreme Court of the State of Alaska.
 The petitioners will ask that the decision of the Boundary Commission to enlarge the boundaries of the proposed Captain Cook borough to in- elude District : be declared null and void. The committee argues that the Boundary Commission action is in viola ton of the State Constitution.
 On June IT, the director of the Local Affairs Agency, Ron aid Cease. informed newspa- pers of the area by wire of the Boundary Commissions deci sion to extend the boundarie. of the Captain Cook borough The following day, Vroman Ralph Moore, mayor of t h ( city of Palmer, and R. C. Car ter, Palmer Independent School D S stri c { superintendent of schools, went to Juneau to pro- test the decision and were told by the Governor, the Secretary of State, and Cease that a hear ing on the Matanuska-S Susitna petition would be granted if sufficient members of h 6 Boundary Commission could be assembled,
 Members of the commission are G. G. Alexander of Fair banks, Ben Fleenor of Ketchi- kan, and Cara Lyons of An ehorage (noW on vacation). Bob Scott of Nome. who re- gently resigned. has recom- mended a successor, although at last word none had as yet been named. Paul Choquette of Homer, has also resigned to ac- eept another post. and has not yet been replaced
 To make a hearing possible, at least one of these vacancies must be filled. The Palmer City Council has asked Don Berry, executive director of the Alas ka Municipal League, to re- quest Governor Egan to make these appointments immediate ly.

.REA MEN PLAN
 JULY IS MEETING #IN ANCHORAGE

REA officials plan to meet with the City of Anchorage and CEA on July Is to discuss the area generation question and power pooling, Mason La Zelle, MEA manager has been informed unofficially.
 Likely to be included in the discussion is the proposed CEA federation, which has already been outlined at a meeting with MEA, CEA, and HEA represen- tatives.
 The proposal would set up a federated entity. controlled by CEA, which would build all fu- ture REA-financed generation for the three borrowers, W h o would contract with CEA to operate the new generation. CEA would continue to oper- ate it's own generation.
 The cost of service to all members would be the average cost, considering all the gener- ation and transmission now owned by the three borrowers.
 Both MEA and HEA object to the fact that CEA would dominate the proposed fedora tion, since representatives on the board of directors would be determined by each coopera- tive's number of owner-mem- bers, these two co-ops do not feel that the oWner-members of their organizations are second class citizens, LaZelle said, but feel that they should have as full and effective a voice as CEA members in determining what is constructed in the flu ture, and how the present sys tenn is to be operated.
 The federation would con tract with the City of Anchor age for the sale of power.
 The proposal leaves the pres ent situation unchanged, La Zelle said. and provides little in the way of opportunity to solve the present problems.
 "MEA is highly in favor of an area approach based on equity for all members involN- ed" the manager stated.
 MEA directors feel that the group coming to Anchorage may have some preconceived ideas in regard to a solution to area problems, the feeling based on a telegram to CEA from Richard Dell, assistant ad- ministrator of REA, which ap- peared in the Anchorage news media prior to the last cleo ton, and a letter to MEA from Gerald Diddle, director of the western area (electric) for REA, regarding the proposed MEA steam plant.
 If this is true, it would cer- tainly affect the MEA 22-mega- watt plant application, now in Washington, which Norman Clapp, REA administrator as sured Senator Gruening would

all the change in Littells contract
appeared to intrigue Judge Nc

that Littell had influenced the tribe
to raj sc his salary 70 $35,OOO a

that S35, 900 was not an exorbltant

made the charges against mm, any

was, therefore. an admin Strative
act of UdaIl's and not an effort
to Judge the case.
The government lawyer said
that the court should not preiudge
how Udall might rule on the Lit
tell matter ultimately. He said
three primary charges had been
lodged by Barry against the Nava-
JOS attorney:
[. That he used general counsel
attorneys on claim work.
z. That he caused the tribe TO
accept the Hopi boundary case as a
claims matter, for which he would
receive percentage payment upon
settlement, instead OF as a routine
general counsel job.
5 That he sought to have his
retainer increased and misreprc-
scented TO the tribal counsel justi-
flcatlon for the increase.
WIENER, at one point, rejected
the argument over the Hopi bound
ary case as a matter for present
discussion.
ITO argue if it is claim case
or a general counsel case is like
arguing over the recipe for Bruins
wick stew before the rabbit has

the usual stating and brief

reason. perhaps, why the

organized.

that even well-meaning peo-

these officials have been tes-

tee. And the committee in
cludes such well-known Cold
Warriors as Senator's jack
son, Symington and Thur

In these circumstances, 1t
is hardly surprising that the
past ten days have produced
two leaks disquieting to the
White House. One was the
story that on June IL and
10 there were disturbances in
the Soviet Union that might
have been caused by nuclear
tests. The other was the
story - leaked, perhaps in
advertently. in particularly
murky circumstances-of the
proposals for an eventual
showdown in production of
nuclear weapons.
Neither leak has proved
very damaging. 1t is even
arguable that the admins
tration should have deliber-
ately broken the stories to
head off leaks that could
have been very damaging
had they occurred on the
eve Of the Hartman mission.
But that was not the admin
istration's point Of view. The
White House sought to keep
the stories out Of general
circulation - and for one
very good reason. Both
stories could serve to excite
right-wing presSures against
the Hartman mission.
