Mr.. Dunn said the company
plans to spend 500 million for
new construction in 1868, and
raised $50 million of this total
in February with an offering
Of first mortgage bonds. Plans
for the remainder of the fl
nancing have not been COM
lpleted, he added.
Answering a stockholders
question. Mr.. Dunn said all
but nine of the 524 pieces Of
property needed as right-of-
way for a new transmission line
to the Chalk Point plant had
been acquired through direct
negotiations with owners. The
remainder were acquire d
through condemnation.
Mr.. Dunn said the company
was watching potential COM
petition arising from plans to
transport coal by pipelines, but
at present was getting all of
its coal by fail. Experimental
ton with trainload lots has
started, and lower rail rates
have benefited the company, he
said.
Whether pipelines will be
able to cut costs below rail
rates remains to be seen, he
went on. The company uses

nually.

 Failure to reach an initial work agreement was given as the orig inal cause for calling the strike. Recent talks again stalled on the issue of anti-discrimination or preferential hiring for local resi- dents, according to Harold Groo- thius, negotiator for the union group.
 Another main point of conten- tion involved certain safety mea- sures requested by the union in the proposed labor contract.
 According to Groothius, the Council is of the opinion that there are plenty of workers avail able among people making their homes in Alaska and the union believes they should have prefer ence for jobs while the drilling company representative apparent

OK INCORPORATION PLANS
Borough Group 0kays Mandatory Incorporation After Talk With Cease

Ronald Cease, director of the Local Affairs Agency, Juneau, spent more than four hours in Soldotna Sunday explaining mat ters of borough incorporation to large number of Kenai Penin- sula residents attending a special meeting of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Study Group.
 The meeting, called expressly for consultation with the, Local Affairs chief, drew more than 100 persons representing practically every community on the Peninsu- la. Dr. J. B. Deisher, of Seward, as chairman, officiated in con- ducting the meeting, which was also attended by Sen. Yule Kill cher of Homer.
 One of the principal questions the group wished to put to Cease was if the May 15 deadline for presenting a petition for incor- poration under local option could be extended. Following his talk, however, no such motion was made.
 Resembling of motion for mandatory borough incorporation made at the borough study meet ing on April 20, did not take

Attempts to negotiate a work contract between representatives of Reading and Bates Drilling Go. and the Alaska Petroleum Crafts Council continues to be stalemat- ed. Picketing of the two Standard Oil Go. of Calf. wells in Swanson River Field, affected by the strike, is still going on, however picket lines reportedly are de- creasing daily.
 The strike was called at mid- night on April 13 by Alaska Pe- troleum Crafts Council on the two deep exploratory wells that Reading and Bates Go. was drill- ing for Standard. Workers on the wells walked off the job early Easter Sunday morning. Stand- ard later decided to plug and abandon the wells and released the drilling contractor.
 Several meetings held at An- chorage last week between repre- sentatives of the two groups and federal mediator Barney Toner, were recessed by mutual consent. Although Toner said he would have a continuing interest in the

place. This motion, made by Frank Mullen of Soldotna and passed by a 31-24 vote at the previous meeting, stands as ap- proved. The motion called for borough incorporation under man. datory provisions of CSHB 90, recently included in Alaska laws, and the Borough Act of 1861 as amended.
 Considerable discussion after passage of Mullen's motion in- cluded possibility that it be re- scinded if the group, after con- sultation with Cease, should de- eide there was time to file a pe- tition asking for incorporation un- der local option.
 No Time For Petition
 Cease said the time element was a problem and even if the petition could be prepared by the May 15 deadline there was an even chance that it might fail to be approved and that time and effort would be wasted.
 He advised the group, if decid- ing on accepting the mandatory route for incorporation by the

Mr.. and MIS-. John. Citizen

Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Citizen:
Fires in Michigan took 209
lives last year. In Detroit, 53
lives we're lost. Four times as
many lost their lives in home
fires as those in public build
ings.
In Michigan, there we're 20,-
225 dwelling fires last year, and
3.143 of them were caused In
Detroit. These fires cost Mich
igan residents Sl4,583,837 in
homes and furnishings.
We have the unfortunate hab-
il of dismissing most fires as
accidents, sort OF visitation
of bad luck which was somehow
unavoidable - or unpredictable.
But how unavoidable is the

carded cigarette, or overloaded
or defective electric wiring; or
poorly maintained heating or
cooking equipment? Yes, these
and similar. uncomplicated
causes are responsible for most
fires.
We need to acknowledge the
fact that fires are not only waste
full but avoidable; then honestly
attempt to change our habits
and remove the hazards which
cause them. When each of us as
an individual has done this, we
we'll no longer risk our lives,
jobs and possessions to destruc-
tion by fire.

Dear Editor,
The state Of racial affairs
in our beloved country has
reached such a sOrrOwful con-
dition of deterioration as to
cause all honest men to search
their consciences in efforts to
discover if they have done
enough TO resolve the many diff
ferences that may plunge our
land deeper into the abyss OF
shame and chaos, from which
VIC may never recover.
The diabolical murders of six
young Negroes within few
hours apart demonstrates the
tragic reaction to the efforts OF
Americas greatest minority to
be free. Similar, but less violent
reactions are being exhibited in
other parts of the country -
Chicago. New York, Los Angeles
and Philadelphia, where issues
like open occupancy, discrimin-
alton in jobs, segregated schools,
etc, have caused misguided
white people TO take to the
streets in strenuous efforts to
maintain the status quo. But,
thanks 10 new type of Ne
gro leadership, the status quo is
dying. But the conscience of
white America must be reached
in a hurry if freedom is TO come
10 ALL Americans with a min
imum OF violence and deaths.
White Americans must speak
but as they have not done be-
fore Their silence gives con-
sent to bigots. Their voices, loud
and clear, may serve as deter
rents to force and violence.
The collective temper of Ne
gro America is fast rising TO
the boiling point. Unless respons-
ible white Americans assert
themselves in behalf OF racial
justice, the top will surely blow.
Our great Negro leadership
has done its best, and its best
has been tremendous. The re-
spCnsibility now rests on the
shoulders of the dominant
group. What are somo things
that this group do?
The media of expression con-
trolled by whites must do more
than report: il must appeal for
justice. II must exhibit new
forms Of leadership In the cur
rent phase Of this civil rights
revolution. II must call upcn
the governments - local. state
and national - 10 enforce exist
ing laws or to make new ones,
guaranteeing that ALL OF Gods
children will derive benefits

Discrimination
Uncovered On
Govt. Contract

WASHINGTON - A series
of new complaints has been filed
with the Presidents Committee
on Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity here by the NAACP,
charging discrimination in sew
eral companies with federal
government contracts.
Complaints we're filed this
week by NAACP Labor Secret
airy Herbert Hill with Hobart
Taylor, executive vice chairman
Of the Committee, against the
Union Camp Bag Paper Corp.
Of Savannah, Ga; Belle City
Malleable Iron Co., Walker Man
ufacturing Co., Young Radiator
Co., and the Recine City Home
for the Aged, all of Racine,
Wise; and the A-One Cleaners.
Provo, Utah.
The complaint against the
Union-Camp Bag Paper Corp,
filed on behalf of Felix jenkins,
an NAACP member, Is of partic-
ular significance, Mr.. Hill said,
az the company is one Of the
largest paper manufacturing
corporations operating with fed
cral government contracts in
the South.
Through . collective bargain
ing agreement with the Brother
hood Of Pulp sulphifs and Pa
per MiII Workers Union, ALL
cIo, the plant maintains sspsr-
ate racial seniority lines. These
lines limit Negro workers TO the
lowest PAID menisl lob eIsssifi-
cations.
They are denied seniority and
promotional rights into desir-
able craft and manufacturing
classifications, Mr.. Hill charged.
MIR. jenkins, an employee of
the plant, was refused promo
tion into the power department,
even though he Is fully quail
fled both In skill and seniority.

When Change Is Dangerous
II would therefore be absurd
to suppose that all the frontiers
are the best possible. On the
other hand. in a period of very
rapid develop, il is difficult, and
can be dangerous, to change
them.
There is in particular the dan
ger of conflict between young
acknowledgements states, which
could harm their internal growth
and hamper progress towards
wider African unity.
The problem OF the Somalis
of Northeast 'Kenya contains
this threat. Britain wants Ken
va to achieve independence -
now only few months ahead
in the best possible conditions.
To ask. or try to force. the lead
ers of Kenya TO accept large
territorial loss on the eve Of
independence would not serve
this aim.
They, like other African lead
ers, draw strength from the for
ces of nationalism, and it would
be very hard for them to ac-
quiesce in such loss at such
a moment. They believe, too,
that they should have the chance
TO try to win the confidence
and support of the Somalis of
Kenya.
On the other hand. the lead

BY ELIZABETH Barker

AS the countries of Africa
move first to independence and
then towards African unity, diff
ficult local problems are bound
TO crop up in the vast process
Of change and growth. One of
these is the problem of the peo-
pie Of the Somali race who live in
Northeast Kenya, in pafy of the
Northern Frontier District.
The recently concluded Brit
ish-Somali talks in Rome, with
Kcnya ministers taking part, fail
to clear up the problem, but they
pointed towards a peaceful and
constructive method of tackling
il.
In this way they achieved
something valuable for all par
tics - above all, for the peo-
pie most directly concerned, the
Scmalis of the Northern From
tier district, who would suffer
most from a conflict between
the ncighboring Somali Repub-
lie and Kenya.
The problem is a complicated
one. but by no means unique.
The frontier drawn in Africa, in
the Colonial era which is now
passing, often had little relation
with racial or even tribal group
ings. There was no machinery
for consulting the wishes of all
the people concerned.

"Now faith Is the sub
stance of things hoped for
the evidence OF things not
seen.
For by it the elders OBJ
tained a good report.
Through faith we under
stand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen
were not made of things
which do appear.
by faith Abel offered un'
to God a more excellent sac
rifice than Cain, by which
he obtained witness that he
was righteous, God testify
ing of his gifts: and by II
ne being dead yet speaketh.
by faith Enoch was
translated that he should
not see death; and was not
found. because God had
translated him: for before
his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased
God.
But without faith it IS
impossible to please HIM
for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and
that he is a rewarder OF
them that diligently seek
him.
"By faith Noah, being
warned of God of things
not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to
the saving of his house; by
the which he condemned the
world. and became heir OF
the righteousness which is
by faith.

he was called to go out into

This means, OF course that these
organs of information must
themselves be extremely objec-
tive in the treatment of racial
issues.
Politicians in and out OF Of

sis on human rights than on pol
itical privileges. for in so do
ing neither would have to fear
possible retribution from white
voters.
white ministers must have
no fear of the prejudices Of
their congregations, if they
REALLY believe that God is
just. God made ALL men. And
He made them the color of his

School teachers should be
made cognizant of their great
mission: to rid their students of
ignorance. Not just in letters,
hut also in human relations.
Rut, OF course, the latter re-
sponsibiIity is primarily that of
the parents.
And members of the Bus
mess community must force
themselves to understand that
q healthy economy is based,
among other things, on the NOR

Finally, we Negroes have a
responsibility. Our first respons-
ibility, however, is to continue
the fight for equal justice.
And while doing so prepare our
selves for the greater obliga-
tions that come with equality.
We can save America, If
white America will do its share.
They need do only what is
right. The rewards are wort h
