Bills regarded as of vital lm- portance to the Kenai Peninsula now before the Alaska Legisla- ture were reviewed Saturday by the Greater Soldotna Chamber of Commerce in a legislative meet ing held at Parkers.
 Following reports and much dis cussion, the Chamber went on re- cord as unanimously favoring support of CSHB 161, relating to the leasing of land for fisheries development, and of HE Is, per- taining to construction and main- tenance of local service roads by the state to serve small rural agricultural and industrial areas not included in the primary or secondary highway systems.
 The Chamber, however, regis tered unanimous disapproval of HB 118, commonly known as the contractors licensing bill, in the form in which it was presented. It was agreed that bill was needed to provide for bonding of contractors to protect home build CTS and to regulate classifications, but that the bill as drawn up needed modification to protect free individual enterprises so es- sential to the growth of the state.

An emergency housing meeting, to which the public is invited, has been called by the Kenai Cham Der of Commerce for 8 pm. Mon- day, April 8, at the Kenai Com- munity Library.

"Cooperation and assistance of all trailer park operators, landowners, builders and persons interested in building are requested The needs of the new residents will be met de- clared Fisher.
 The influx of population into the Kenai area has been so pro- nounced that Conrad Potter, Ke- mai school superintendent, has announced that Kenai Schools plan to add six new teaching po- sitions for the 1963-64 term. Those teachers alone will no doubt need housing for 5-6 more families, it was pointed out.
 In addition to calling the hous- ing meeting, standing Housing Committee was established by the Kenai Chamber of Commerce at it's regular meeting Wednesday noon.

SoId0tna Chamber Takes Stand on Legislation

A motion was passed that the Soldotna Chamber wire legisla- tors to do all within their power to prevent passage of the bill as the Chamber felt it was too re- strictive on small contractors, home builders and individuals who are trying to develop not only for their own economy but also for the economy of their commun- ity and state.

The blissful but overlong
two-year honeymoon between
the Kennedy administration
and the various Government
and postal employe unions APP
parently Is coming to an end.
Increasingly. many unions
are complaining about the ad-
ministration talking big but
doing little. And administration
officials privately criticize what
they feel is the ingratitude Of
the employe unions.
Perhaps all this is a good
thing. 1t just didn't seem
natural for management and
labor in Government to play
footsie these past two years.
Depending on your point Of
view. 1t looked either as II the
Government was giving too
much power to the employe
organizations or that the
unions were betraying the in
terests Of their members by
smuggling too closely with the
administration.
The unions disenchantment
WITH administration policies is
summed UP by the lead editorial
in this months edition Of the
United Federation Of Postal
Clerks magazine. This fedora
ton Is the second largest union
in Government and its presi-
dent, Roy Hallbeck, is chair
man Of the AFL-cIO Govern
ment Employees Council, which
represents various postal and
Federal employe unions with q
total membership Of 100000.

ministration Of being Indian

something TO postal and other
deral employees, II take'
something away.

spotted on an aircraft carrier
than those of Beings.
Asked later to point out the
advantages in the General Dy-

Secretary Of Defense Nc
Namara, who, will testify later
in the hearings, said yesterday
at a news conference the de-

clined to comment on the,

is contrary to the original in
tent Of the executive order,
the UFPC says. On the other
hand those postal and Gov
eminent employe unions which
have seen rival groups re-
ceive exclusive recognition
feel that they are worse
off than they we're before the
executive order was issued. And
those who haven't sufficient
membership in various units to
even gain formal recognition
say they are even worse off
than the others.
The UFPC also criticized the
Kennedy administration for
hating the collection Of Gov
eminent employe union dues
as soon as the President signed
the executive order. This was
"a decision Of potentially Grip
pling consequences to union
ISM" the union said. 1t said
dues collection on Government
time had long been permitted
under some Of the most anti
union management In history"
yet the administration abol-
ished II.
The UFPC commented on
the fact that President Ken
nedy now is expected TO issue
an executive order setting UP
an automatic Government en-
ploye union dues checkoff sys-
tenn. II noted that this could
have been done at the time
the President signed the labor

that time said II could not be
done legally by the President

than two-thirds of the Negro
labor force held in 1860.

to "the striking number of

for so long accepted poverty as

seems destined to grow and
