Unhealthy Situation

What has happened to the
Non-Partisan Board of Edu-
cation?
1t is apparent that the Mont
gomery County Board of Edu-
cation is definitely a political
body dominated by Messrs.
Bell, Coyle, Saunders and
Woodward.
This group seems deter.
mined to disagree with any
proposal made by the hold
over members of the Board.
1t is true that in a board
comprised of seven members,
there must be a majority of
at least four to three in any
decision, however, it does not
seem possible that the same
four are always in agreement
and of the same opinion. If so,
this is a rarity.
A situation, such as that
which exists in the Board to-
day is not a healthy one for
our educational system.
A solution to correct this
situation had better be found;
possibly the aforementioned
gentlemen should be remind
ed that they were elected to
office and are expected to act
in behalf of the citizens

Reply TO Torcuso

Since l also attended the

ing" Roy r. Torcaso speaks
out on in your paper, / would
like to make few comments
of my own.
Mr.. Torcaso is obviously of

them to their own advantage
and proceed to use them as a
club to beat the rest of us over

Those present were fortu-
nate in hearing a wonderful
speech Zone Nation Under

able Henry C. Schadeberg,
Representative from Wiscon-

al Minister. This speech can
easily be obtained by any in
terested person since it appear

fortunate in having an inn
promptu visit from the Honor
able Frank j. Becker. Con-
gresham from New York. 1t
was Congressman Becker who
said he would be happy to an
swer a few questions from the
floor. 1t was not this point Mr..
Torcaso got up and tried to
make a speech.
Perhaps it would be more to
Mr.. Torcaso's advantage to do
some reviewing of the diction-
airy. 1t is amazing that man
of his age who is so full of
understanding regarding the
Constitution and the relation
between Church and State
doesn't even understand the

Last week 1,2OO investors To- cated in Alaska and all over the world began to receive stock in the Life Insurance Go. of Alaska dICA). The LICA stock is being exchanged for stock originally purchased in the First Alaskan Investment Co.,, which is in the process of liquidation. The stock will be exchanged at a ratio of 1 share of LICA for 25 shares of First Alaskan stock.
 According to Sewell Faulkner, receiver for the iquidated hold ing company, the losses suffered to date by First Alaskan investors have been severe. However, these people, many of whom invested their life savings, should look for ward to a growth in value of their LICA stock. LICA is very solvent today and has gross assets of $442,000. Insurance written since the first of the year exceeds the three-quarter million mark. The company recently invested $100,O00 in Alaska real estate mortgages.

McNamara Says Russ Will Limit Itself to Military Targets In Nuclear War

WASHINGTON tR - Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara says he thinks it improbable, but not impossible that the Soviet Union would limit itself to military tar gets if it launched a nuclear at tack on the United States.
 That bare possibility makes it worthwhile for the United States to spend extra money protecting it's own retaliatory capability, McNamara said.
 His testimony was released Mon day by the House Armed Services Committee, before which he ap- peared in January and February
 T personally believe any nu- clear attack by the Soviet Union on the United States will include an attack on the major urban areas of the United States" Nc Namara said.
 But, he said, if the Soviet Union succeeds in making it's missiles relatively safe from US. missiles, it is conceivable, although not likely, that they might strike our military installations with a first strike, withholding certain forces to later strike the cities"
 In that case, he said, the United States should consider striking back only at Soviet military tar gets, thereby giving them an in- centive to avoid an attack on our major urban areas"
 McNamara's estimate of casu- alties in a massive nuclear ex- change: 100 million dead in the United States, 100 million dead in the Soviet Union, 90 million dead in Western Europe.

 Speedy action was expected on the resolution by the Senate. Pres ldent Kennedy has made clear he favors the honor to the great British wartime leader.
