Military Seeks
Land Withdrawal
A public hearing in Juneau
today will be the scene of a
discussion of plans for the trans
fer of control of public lands
in the Aleutians, which contain
military installations, to the
Army, Navy and Air Force. Wil
liam E. Warne, assistant secre
tary of the interior, will preside
over the hearing.
Withdrawal of the land is said
to be necessary to protect exist
ing military installations and to
provide space for additional im
provements.
Land to be considered in the
withdrawal plan includes all of
Adak, Great Sitkin and Shemya
islands and portions of Amchit
ka, Atka, Umnak, Unalaska,
Attu, Tanaga, Unalga, Agattu
and a part of the Cold Bay area.
Co-op Recall Move
Fails By Close Vote
(Continued from Page 1)
bership would vote their preju
dice rather than the law, any
way.” He said he felt nothing
would be settled by a member
ship vote.
Mr. Bauer proceeded with the
recall however, and a ballot was
taken on Mr. Hemmer. L. C.
Stock then called for a blanket
ballot on the remaining five
board members. He was over
ruled by the chairman, but ap
pealed that decision and Mr.
Bauer’s decision was defeated by
membership vote.
The meeting ended when a
check of the voting revealed that
the recall had failed. Mr. Ras
mussen told the members that
the board still felt the meeting
to be illegal. He said the board
was prepared to legally set a
date for a recall meeting, if
any group of members wanted
that meeting. The petitioning
group declared themselves satis
fied with the results of the pres
ent meeting, and no further ac
tion was taken.
Board Members Puzzle
Over Many Problems
With their position sustained
by a majority vote at a mem
bership meeting of the Co-op
last Thursday evening, the seven
man board of directors was busy
organizing for the future this
week. To date, however, that
organization had not crystallized
into concrete action, for board
members are greatly concerned
with the problems of operation
which face them.
First accomplishment to take
shape under the new board will
be the rehabilitation of the steam
plant. Two boilers have been
purchased and will arrive within
the next two or three weeks,
board secretary Carl Rasmussen
announced. As soon as the boil
ers are delivered, work will be
gin on the steam plant. Repairs
and improvements to cost about
$20,000 are planned.
No further action has been
taken on the contract which was
drawn up to allow lease of the
creamery by the dairymen, it
was stated. Milk marketing ar
rangements continue as they
have in the past, and the board
stated that they will initiate no
action to change existing ar
rangements. However board
members are willing to nego
tiate with the dairymen, under
terms of the contract, if the
dairymen wish to carry out their
plans to lease the creamery.
No lease has been drawn up
to permit use of the co-op-owned
vegetable storage facilities by

to the burning dormitory, which
was reduced to its concrete
foundations and tin roof in a
matter of minutes.
The two • story structure,
which contained all of the
clothing and toys belonging to
the children sleeping there,
was only partially covered by
insurance, Mr. Calher stated.
He said he would not attempt
to rebuild it at this time, but
would begin the construction
of an addition to the house
proper.
In the meantime, the children
were sleeping at neighbors’
homes. They will be temporarily
quartered in the Cathers' living
room, and later may be moved
to a tent during the warm sum
mer months.
No child was injured in the
fire, which occurred just before
bedtime. All of the children
were rushed to the schoolbus.

the fire was first discovered.
Mr. Cather suffered steam burns,
and both he and his son Bert
sustained superficial burns about
the hands and face.
New Station Worker
Mr. and Mrs. Bernard O. King
and daughter arrived in the Val
ley from Dinuba, Calif., last
week to make their home here.
Mr. King is employed at the Ex
periment Station where he had
worked on a previous visit to
Alaska.
the Valley Producers, Inc., Mr.
Rasmussen said. He explained
that the board awaited a formal
request from representatives of
that group, before taking any
action on the matter. He said
he thought it was possible that
an arrange nent might be worked
out with the producers.
No further Co-op units have
been listed for sale at this time.
The board members said there
were many problems blocking
the path of sale of the larger
units. However they are plan
ning for the eventual saleA of
all units recommended by the
membership. They reminded that
such sale is to be made “if and
l when feasible.”
Contrary to current rumors,
the board said there was no im
mediate plan for the sale of the
Co-op Garage.
Neither is there any immediate
plan for the employment of a
new general manager to replace
Marvin Allyn, recently resigned.
“We re not just sure what ft’e
want in a general manager yet,”
Mr. Rasmussen explained.
“We’re making long-range plans,
but it will all take time,” he
concluded.
