Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 On behalf of the Federal Avia- tion Agency and all it's Woody Is- land employees I would like to ex- press our appreciation to all those who helped control the FAA dock fire at Woody Island on Christmas day.
 Especially appreciated is the prompt action by the crew of John Katelnikoff's ''L ding Lady," which was responsible for saving the loading section of the dock which could not be reached from shore, and the fine assistance of the Navy vessels and crews who helped bring the fire under final control. Also very important was the assistance provided by Mir. Bob Richardson and son, Jim, and other boys from the Baptist Mission.
 The dock plays vital part in supply and maintenance of FAA air navigational aids and in the daily lives of FAA families and other Woody Island residents. We other Woody Island residents. We a part of their Christmas day to aid us in our distress.

An Anchorage man, Chris Pal ger, concessionaire for the State of Alaska Marine highway, in letter to the Kodiak Chamber of Con- merce this past week has offered to build three-story, 80 room Motel-hotel if suitable tax-free site is donated for the structure.
 Palzer's letter stated that it would contain dining and banquet room as we'll as a modern bar and curio shop which could be utilized by Kodiakans. Palzer's letter fol- lowed after a conversation with Ali Madsen relative to the need of tourist accommodations on the is- land. The letter follows:

 To whom it may concern:
 In recent conversation with MT. Ali Madsen, whom I had the pleasure of meeting here in my office, it was brought to my atten- tion that there was existing seri- ous shortage of tourist facilities.
 In view of the fact that I am in- terested in establishing a series of Motel-Hotel type of tourist facii- ities throughout the state of Alas ka, I feel that you may be inter- ested in the following proposition.

The
Rambler
Gets
A Chance
By JOHN McKELWAY

The Rambler has often
wondered about these So
called "hot lines" to far away
places and earlier this week
he had a chance TO try out,
not one, but three.
There are still some Of US
around who are impressed
with getting through from
Washington to, say, La Plata,
Md. And all Of US should
have dropped by the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel and the con-
vention of the Association of
the United States Army.
Down in the bottom of that
rambling structure-it has
never been clear how they
keep finding space to build
bathrooms and swimming
pools-the Rambler came
upon an exhibit set up by
the Bell Telephone System.
There was not a great deal
to the exhibit, compared to
punches of heavy equipment
standing on the floor, in
GLIDING helicopter and jet
engines. There were Just
three blue telephones-not
the Princess type-set up
under three pictures of Nike
bases at Heidelberg, Ger
many; Thule, Greenland,
and Anchorage, Alaska.
One of the young telephone
men invited the Rambler to
choose a telephone and call.
The Rambler decided on
Heidelberg, and picked up
the phone fully expecting
to have to deal with an
operator. Not so with "hot"
lines. In an instant, Capt.
Wayne Stoller, 80, came on
soft and clear and was per-
fectly willing TO chat from
his Nike site.
The stunt was, of course,
all free. But the Rambler
found himself splitting out
words at a great rate-his
subconScious worried about
long distance rates.
1t was 11:40 am. in Wash
ington and about 4:30 pm.
in Heidelberg. The captain
was just about to go off duty.

thinking of something to say

thus consuming more fuel.
In addition to the fuel tax,
the company is also eligible for
exemption from about $4,000
in District real estate taxes on
transit operating properties.
The determination for 1862
in this field must now be made
by the P. U. c.
The P. U. C.'s figures for the
fuel-tax determination indicate
the company will be eligible for
the real-estate exemption as
well, with profits still falling
below the 612 per cent level
despite the exemptions.

There was more than one
young president in the White
House yesterday.
In fact the $50 "other" young
presidents greeted by Mr.. Ken
needy observed that, by their
standards, the youthful politi-
clan with all that hair of his
own, didn't quite measure up.
He was over 40 when he be-
came president of his organi-
cation.
The major rule of the 1900
member Young Presidents Or
ganization is that all members
had to be presidents of their
companies before 40. Another
glittering rule is company an
nual sales have to be at least
81 million.
So yesterday, the opening
day of a four-day area con-
ference, standing around on
the south lawn were all these
youthful men with all that
money-an obvious source of
pride for the little women who
accompanied them, but instant
envy for just about everyone
else around.
Republicans Dominate
Their statistics show that
about so per cent of the
YPO'ers, as they like to be
called. are Republicans, but
they got a double dip of De-
mocracy-Bobby in the morn
ing and Jack in the afternoon
Both the Attorney General and
his brother talked about to-

how he gets there, but what he

their fathers. However, most of
the men talked to seemed to
have started their own COM
panies.
There was Mr.. Chunky Cho-
colateS, Inc. and Mr.. Buttons,
Inc. There was Warren Sulli-
van, chairman of Macmillan
Publishing Co., who whispered
as he walked through the White
House, I'VE have that LaSky

drifted past as they left the

man dropped a thought that

IF ANYONE-maybe

IF ANYONE-maybe a
Rambler-had shouted Fire"
into one of the telephones,
nothing would have hap
pened. The hot lines were
not those used, for example,
by the Strategic Air Com
mand. They went through
regular commercial channels,
although the Rambler was
never too clear on how
operators were avoided. And
he didn't even have to dial.
Curious about what the
calls might have cost, had he
had auntS at the three
places, the Rambler later
dialed information" on a
regular old, black telephone
attached to a cold line.

thing about overseas rates."
one operator said. LET me
ask my supervisor"
There was a pause and the
supervisor came on and sug-
geSted calling 637-99OO and
asking for the overseas
operator.
The Rambler is not sure.
But he thinks he was
switched back to the vicinity
of the three points previously
talked to on the "hot" line,
to get the proper commercial
rates. 1t would have come
to something like $50.
He had not wanted the
telephone company to go to
all that trouble. But maybe
they've got some 'hot" lines
too.
Wonder where you get one.

School Boosts
Sought in
Montgomery
Advocates Seek
More Teachers;
Overload Noted

Montgomery County advo-
Gates Of expanded school pro-
grams formally launched their
1964-5 budget campaign last
night with pleas ranging from
those for more teachers to
swimming pools in high schools.
They also got a boost from
the outSopkenly conservative
Council for Better Education,
which noted that teachers of
English are overloaded" This
can be remedied with more
emphasis on basic subjects, the
council said.
Frank A. Bell, jr., the coun-
ellis president, was the only one
of 80 speakers who urged the
school board staff to move eau
tiously in drafting budget re-
quests for 1964-5. Nearly $50
persons attended the pre-
budget hearing held by the
staff in Rockville.
Frank Vrataric, active in par
ent-teacher work, said that
while he did not want to re
hash" last years election cam
paign which saw economy
dedicated conservatives take
office. he charged that I'VE
must thank some of our board
members for miSinforming the
public"
Sees Willingness to Pay
People are willing to pay
taxes for good schools provided
they know they are getting
their moneys WORTH" he added.
In office nearly a year, the
conservative majority on both
the school board and county
council trimmed budgets and
enabled a drop in the tax rate
of 10 cents per 500 assessed
valuation.
One of the largest cuts last
April was the elimination of
200 proposed teaching posi-
tons, at a saving of $1.2 mil
lion. The personnel slash in
creased teacher pupil ratios
and touched off a barrage of
citizen protest that echoed
again at last nights hearing.
Large classes are defeating
the valuable elements of our
school program" r. B. Fulton,
president of the Kensington
Junior High PTA, said.
Mrs. William N. Carrot,
president of the county's
League Of Women Voters, CON-
planned that the teacher cut
resulted in "a per cent of basic
high school classes having more
than the accommodates stu
dents each.
Repeated requests also were
made for more library funds,
now allocated at rs cents per
pupil in elementary schools and
81 in secondary schools. Addi-
tional money is needed for
teaching the handicapped, more
construction, music, art and
physical education teachers,
speakers said.
Languages Are Sought

education teachers for ele-
mentary schools was cut from
20 to IL here last year but
increased from A to IA in

George Spiegel, of the coun-
tvs Physical Fitness Commits
sion, said.
The staff also was urged to
restore the foreign language
program in elementary schools,
now being phaSed out by the
school board prior to an over
all re-evalutation.
Our schools must be i'm
proved even if it costs, a lit
tie more" David Harris, of the

in the District to more than
81 million since it began opera
tons here late in 1856.
Each year the District Public
Utilities Commission reports,
on the basis of the company's
earnings. how much fuel-tax
exemption the company is en-
titled to. This is calculated on
the basis of a formula laid
down by Congress in the COM
pany'S franchise.
Depends on Profits
If the company's profits fall
short of 61a per cent of gross
operating revenues from mass
transit operations. then it is
entitled to the tax relief.
In every year except 1859,
the profits as determined by
the P. U. c. have fallen far
enough below 81 per cent to
entitle the company to exemp-
ton from all of the fuel tax
for which it would have been
liable.
If the company had to pay
the tax for the 12-month period
ending August 81, 1862. its
profit would have been STA
million or Al per cent of gross
operating revenues. Without
the tax. the profit is SIG mill
lion or SIS per cent as figured
by the P. U. c. To reach So
per cent, the firms profit would
have to be SIG million.
The 1862 tax relief certifica-
ton to the District Commits
Sioners was delayed this year
to await receipt Of the COM
pany's Federal income tax re-
turn, a P. U. c. spokesman said.
Largest Tax Relief
The return was not filed
until last month.
The fuel-tax exemption for
1862 is the largest annual relief
the company has won. The
amount has been increasing
