speaks no English, but Mrs. Clark acted as interpreter for IZaquirre.
 The young man expresses himself very passably in Eng fish, but has a few problems in comprehension when people speak rapidly.
 He fielded the difficult questions being put to him by the neWsmen well, saying that Kennedy's recommended pol icy of Cuban refugees joining the United States Army, rath- CT than to engage in small raid ing parties is a good one-"As one, we are strong"
 Asked how he had escaped Cuba, he said, "I ran-in a boat" He and five others fled the island in 32-foot boat last September.
 Amado said he has been in- terested in Alaska since he was a child, and surprised the re- presentatives of the United Protestant Church by quoting population statistics for An chorage and Palmer-"120l people in Palmer-I will make 1902"
 With the arrival of Francisco Ramos last evening, the lan- guage barrier was considerably lifted for Amado, since Fran cisco speaks English fluently
 The young men are now liv- ing in a cabin on the Bacon property. Members of the church are eager to learn of job opportunities for the two. Mrs. Clark and MT. Fliete have also offered to help in locating work for the refugees, as has the Rev. Claude Klaver of the Wasilla Presbyterian Church.
 A reception for lzaquirre and Ramos is planned at the United Protestant Church inn mediately following church services next Sunday morning.

Boundaries, Borough Seat Are Different

District boundaries on the east. The west boundary of the former proposed borough was the Big Susitna River
 Residents of outlying areas asked for incorporation as q first class borough rather than the second class borough pro- posed by city council members last week.
 Their reasoning, as outlined by Vroman, IS that in consider ing area-wide powers, both classes must first seek all agreement between the first class city and the outlying area as to whether the city will exercise a joint venture with the borough to transfer their function to the borough assembly.
 At this point. Vroman said, the difference in borough classifications becomes appar- ent. The second class borough, after obtaining this agreement with the city, must submit petition to the director of the Local Affairs Agency; the peti- ton is then reviewed by t h Q Local Boundaries Commission, which then reports it's flnc- ings back to the director of the Local Affairs Agency, who in turn directs that a referendum vote be held on the proposed areawide power. The cost of the election is born by t h e borough.
 However. the first class bor- . ough, once the agreement with : the city has been made, ex- tends the powers of the bor- . ough assembly through tn {
 use of ordinances, which in
 volve a 60-day period during which the borough assembly l: ' obligated to hold hearings anc . to publish in public places the proposed ordinance. After this ' time, the ordinance will be passed if the assembly has n3t been made aware of strong op- position to its passage.
 The main reason that | h 2 outlying areas pushed for a first-class borough. according to Vroman, is that, although the outlying areas may be ad- ministered through the use of service areas, when any n service is of such magnitude to warrant consideration as an area-wide power, it IS felt that calling in the state to perform functions which by right are those of the elected representa- lives would result in loss Of concern for responsibility by borough assembly members.

MISS ALASKA TO GO TO VERMONT

Colleen Kendall, Miss Alaska. of 1863 and Miss Alaska State Fair, 1862, has a busy summer before her, which will be eli maxed with the Miss America pageant at Atlantic City, New Jersey, next September.
 Colleen has been invited to and plans to attend a festival on May 18 in Vermont where Miss Yer mont" (also a Miss America" contesD will be crowned. She will also attend the crowning ceremonies of Miss Oregon and Miss Minnesota" both of which will be held in June.

A general acceptance of the Matanuska-Susitna first class borough petition now in circ- ulation is evident. according to Bob Vroman, one of the origi- nal Matanuska- -Susitna peti- tioners who are now working with the Palmer City Council on the new petition.
 The new petition differs from the one in circulation a year ago in that the boundaries encompass more territory, and that Palmer is named as t h e seat of government for { h e first five years, after which the people of the borough would choose the permanent seat through referendum.
 Vroman said this morning that he feels adequate sigma lures have already been ob- tained, both in the city of Pal mer and in the rural areas, to validate the petition, but that petitions will continue to cire- ulate throughout District '. to get thorough sampling of all areas of the proposed borough. Additional signatures will add strength to the petition, he said.
 A Wasilla meeting was held last evening. and another is planned tonight in Willow al the Civic center at 8 pm. tc discuss the petition. There are also tentative plans for Tal' keetna meeting. The purpose of these meetings, Vromar said, is to indicate the inten of the new petition and t clarify whether this is in con fliet with the concepts of tn original petition.

Volunteers for a fair grounds work party on Saturday, May II, are needed, according to Curly Sutton, manager of the 1863 Alaska State Fair, Inc.

 Any laboring skill can be put to good use, Sutton stated, and urged that state Fair-minded individuals turn out to assist in this community-buildlng project.

 The young men are Amado Izaquirre, 2l, and Francisco Ra- mos, 24.
 Izaquirre's wife and two chil- dren are still in Cuba. He has been in military service in the United States for the past six months and is a former bank teller.
 Ramos has a fluent command of English, since he was educat- ed in military schools in Ken lucky. He returned to Cuba after the death of his father to manage the family ranch. He reports that he has other skills in addition to farming. Ramos has one child still in Cuba, also his mother.
 Temporary housing has been arranged for the two men at the Bacon home. Job possibil- ities have been offered by Eur eka Lodge. The sponsoring church group are eager to know of other opportunities for employment for Izaquirre and Ramos.
 Izaquirre arrived here Tues day, and Ramos last evening.

STUDY INDICATES FEASIBILITY OF STEAM PLANT

Basic information in a power requirements study made for MEA recently by Frank Coo yer, REA field representative, enhance the feasibility of the proposed mine-mouth steam plant at Sutton, according to Mason LaZelle, field represen- tative. The study indicates MEAS power requirements for the next ten years.
 Coover's basic recommends ton is 56,659,000 kilowatt hours in 1868, with a peak demand of 16. l50 kilowatts and nor nal capacity of 12,930 kilo- watts; and 85,450,000 kilowatt hours in 1873, with a peak de- mand of 4,400 kilowatts and a normal capacity of 19,500 kilo- watts.
 REA criteria require that the output of the steam must be needed by REA borrowers by ten years after the plant goes on the line. LaZelle said. If the plant could be ready for oper- ation by 1866, the output would have to be in use by 1876.
 Projecting the 1873 figures forward three years to 1876 provides the following demand and energy requirement.: H. 100, GOO kiloWatt hours with { peak demand of 3l,750 kilo watts and normal capacity 0. 25, 400 kllowatts.
 The peak demand figure listed are in all cases 1.25 time the normal capacity require mems to furnish the kiloWat hours required, at 50 per cen load factor, the manager stat i ed.
 With the steam plant on tn line, MEA will have availabl for power supply in 1876, P, % kilowatts from the steam plan and 5000 kilowatts from tn Bureau of Reclamation, mak ing a total of 27,000 kilowat hours.
