If Matanuska Valley growers can guarantee 400-acre pea crop by the summer of 1864, a food processing plant can go into production by August of that year, Gerald Earp and Jim Booky. Anchorage business men, told group of local resi- dents at a meeting at the Ex- pertinent Station library last evening.
 The two men have been ex- ploring the possibility of pro- cessing foods here since 1858, Earp said. adding that he has spent considerable time exam ming plants and equipment in the South 48. Local grocery wholesalers and military repre- sentatives have shown an ac- tive interest in handling locally processed foods, he stated.
 As result of the findings of the two men, the Alaska Ex- pertinent Station has requested a feasibility study from ARA, officials of which are looking at the project with considerable favor, according to Booky. If for any reason ARA cannot support the project, other fin ancing is available, Booky said. What is needed specifically now is a site close to a rail sid ing with water, sewer, and power available, Earp said, plus the assurance from growers of sufficient volume of vege- tables to keep the . ant in op- eration. They are interested in the Palmer area, and plans a survey from the air as soon as the snow leaves.
 The plant would open witf a small operation, that of can ming peas, Earp said. Int choice Of peas is based on ths great popularity of the vege

Meeting Will Discuss Local Option Petition

A meeting to discuss the pe- tition for the Palmer-Wasilla- Talkeetna borough has been called for Tuesday, April 30, at 8 pm. in the Palmer Grange hall, Bob Vroman, chairman of the Matanuska-Susitna boro- ugh committee, announced this week.
 Some personnel from the state local affairs agency may be present at the meeting, Vro- man said.
 The essential purpose of the meeting is to clarify a few points in the mechanics of bor- ough government, also to pro- vide an understanding of the meaning of the petition, the committee chairman added. Vroman stressed the urgency of filing the local option pc tition before May 15, pointing out that it takes four months to process the petition and that without it residents of the area have no alternative but to wait for the Oct. l deadline, at which time the state would take over borough organization for Election District 2.
 If we don't get our petition in, We are not in a bargaining position" Vroman said. '.The Anchorage petition has already been submitted. We need to consider what will happen to areas such as Mckenzie Point when boundaries are set.a
 The local option petition has been in circulation since April, 1862, the chairman stated, ad- ding that there are sufficient signatures representing all the rural communities in both the Matanuska and Susitna Val leys, but that the petition still lacks enough signatures from the city of Palmer.

3 Senators
See Defects
In Kerr-MiIIs

on a special Senate subcommit-
tee disagreed sharply today on
how the Kerr-Mills law is
working. The law aids State
programs on medical care for.
the aged.
The eight Democrats on the
Subcommittee on Health Of the
Elderly found seven major de-
fects in the Kerr-Mills plan.
which was enacted three years
ago to help States meet the
medical needs Of persons over
IS, who are without adequate
means.
Says Belief Confirmed
Senator Mcnamara, Demo
crat of Michigan, chairman
of the subcommittee, said the
report confirms his belief that
only through the universal ap-
proach Of a social security
financed program, can the
basic health needs Of our senior
citizens be effectively met"
The seven other Democrats
who Joined Senator Mcnamara
in finding the Kerr Mills plan
inadequate we're Senators
Engle of California, Neuberger
and Morse of Oregon, Clark |
of Pennsylvania, Muskie Of
Maine, Edward V. Long of Mis-
souri, and Moss of Utah.
Three of the four Repubn-
cans on the subcommittee
Senators Dirksen Of Illinois,
Goldwater of Arizona and Carl |
son of Kansas-Said the con-
illusions of the majority are
premature and based on in
adequate evidence.
Senator Fong, Republican Of
Hawaii, filed a separate report,
agreeing with the other Re-
publicans that the Democratic
findings on the Kerr-Mills law
are premature. He suggested,
however, that both groups con-
slider some changes in the
Kerr-Mills law.
Senator Smathers, Democrat
of Florida, chairman Of thu !
Special Committee on Aging,
of which the subcommittee is
a part, also filed a separate
statement. He said he regretted
the negative tone of the re-
port, but believes it provides
valuable information on the
Kerr-Mills law, Its weaknesses
and the needs for its improve
ment."
Senator Smathers said that
unless another program Is
enacted, this law offers "the
most practical means available
to assist senior citizens with
their medical problems"
List of Defects
Among the points listed by
the majority as Kerr-Mills de-
fectS were these:
That although so State
legislatures have met since the
program was enacted in 1860,
only % States and four other
jurisdictions have programs in
operation.
That the duration, levels and
types Of benefits vary widely,
and with few exceptions bene-
fits are nominal or made
quate."
That stringent eligibility
tests have limited participa-
ton, and that last July only
100000 persons received as
sistance under the law.
That administrative costs are
high, and distribution of the
Federal funds among the
States has been disproportion-
ate.
The minority report Of the
three Republicans contends
that the Kerr-Mills law was
not intended to meet the prob
lem ''by ITSELF" and emphasized
that the preferred method of
most Americans for meeting
major medical costs is volun-
tary health insurance, which
should be encouraged.
