Dale Durrwachter, director of personnel services for the school district, said Kisselburg would be competing tor one of about 100 teaching jobs that open in the district each year. He said he gets about a dozen applications for the jobs every week.

Durrwachter said the district has about 15 or 20 teachers quit and re apply for employment each year and about half of them are hired. He said teachers applying for the jobs compete on the basis of their qualifications, not the order in which they apply. As far as the record goes, Mr. Kisseiburg has a strong teaching record in the school system," Durrwachter said. He said the decision to hire him would be made by a number of people in the school system, including the principal of aschool vacancies occur, the superintendent of schools and the school board.

Durrwachter said Kisselburg would be certificated to teach when the next school year begins in September. i was i in November of 1971 while principal at Ryan and reinstated in January 1972 by the school board after a long hearing in i his competence and a questioned.

Army views request for physicians Col. Philip 0. Carey, medical officer for the U.S. Army, Alaska, met with the Fairbanks Medical Association last night to discuss his order prohibiting military doctors from moonlighting in the community. According to a spokesman for the association, Carey said Army attorneys are digging into the i a i to determine the legality of allowing the practice.

According to Department of policy, i i a personnel are not allowed to work in a community if their presence is in competition with local residents. The ban on doctors from Ft. Wainwright working in Fairbanks was first caused a complaint about their presence by the board of directors of the Fairbanks Medical and Surgical Clinic. The i i later i the objection but Carey continued the prohibition.

State physicians support Young The Alaska Medical Political Action Committee representing 90 per cent of the physicians throughout the state of Alaska has endorsed Don Young for United States Representative. Don Ogden, executive secretary group made a in Anchorage today. "Having worked with both men," Ogden said, "we believe that Don Young can do the best job in Washington, D.C., as far as Alaska's needs for health and social services are concerned."

Young is vice chairman of the Health, Welfare and Education Committee in the state Senate and his opponent, Emil Notti, was deputy commissioner of the Department of Health and Social Services. had accompanied him on the flight from Bangkok, Thailand.

Kissinger's arrival coincided with speculation in Laotian and diplomatic circles that a cease- fire agreement between the government and the Communist-. Pathet Lao rebels appears near, perhaps ready for signing by next week. Reliable sources said Kissinger will discuss the Laotian peace talks, now in their 18th week, but will not take part in negotiations. He told officials in Bangkok before explaining that a cease-fire will come to Laos and Cambodia "soon," the Thai deputy foreign minister, Chat- icbai Choonhavan, told newsmen. Chatichai said Kissinger planned to discuss details of the proposed cease-fire in Vientiane.

Western diplomats in the Laotian capital expect a truce within days. High-ranking Laotian officials say they hope Kissinger, during his visit to Hanoi will get for them a guarantee that the 65,000 North Vietnamese troops they claim are in Laos will be withdrawn after the cease-fire. The North Vietnamese and the Pathet Lao have never admitted publicly that Hanoi has troops in Laos. But Hanoi's Foreign Ministry said today that increased military action by the United States and the Vientiane government's forces "are blocking the Vientiane peace talks." It accused the United States of using its B52 bombers and other military might in an attempt to force the Pathet Lao "to accept their absurd terms." Premier Souvanna Phouma and the Pathet Lao agree that the 1962 Geneva accords neutralizing Laos should be the basis of any settlement. But the makeup of the government, which the Pathet Lao quit in 1963, is the tough problem.

The Pathet Lao claims to represent neutralists and leftists in the three-party government. They claim Prince Sou- vanna is a rightist.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Penn Central passenger and freight trains were rolling today after President Nixon signed a quickly enacted congressional resolution that halted a trainmen's strike for at least 90 days. The walkout by 28,000 conductors and brakemen, called to protest the bankrupt railroad's phase-out of 5,700 jobs, began at 12:01 a.m.

Thursday. It lasted a little more than 24 hours, with the first train back in operation at 12:37 a.m. today.

Phone 452-4747 point," a spokesman for Penn Central, the nation's largest railroad, said shortly after daybreak. He said morning commuter trains in major metropolitan centers of the East and Midwest were on schedule and freight service was being restored as fast as crews reported for work. Commuters, who make up the majority of the line's 300,000 daily riders, took the brunt of the walkout's impact. They were forced to use hastily arranged bus service or carpools to get to and from work. Nixon signed the resolution, which gives his administration and Congress 45 days to resolve the job reduction dispute, shortly after 6 a.m.

at the Western White House in San Clements, Calif. He had left Washington Thursday afternoon before Congress approved the measure, which was drafted by the Senate Labor Committee. The reso- lution was dispatched to Nixon by courier. In Syracuse, N.Y., a United Transportation Union official was asked if the strike had left bad feelings between union members and Penn Central management. "Not any more than was evident before the strike," he replied.

"We're back in business," said Penn Central President William II. Moore as trainmen trooped into depots after midnight. "The strike is over," reported George W. Legge, manager of the field service department of the United Transportation Union, AFL-CIO. "We don't anticipate any problems.

The men have started going back to work." The return to work resulted 'from a congressional resolution calling for a 90-day moratorium on the strike. The resolution rescinded, at least for the present, the new work rules. Fairbanks North Star Borough School Hoard Thursday issued a statement "totally supporting" the Adult Career Development Center over the objections of members. The statement followed an hour long executive session called by board member Chuck Rees to examine the local funding and typo of programs for ACDC. He and Nancy Mendenhall opposed the statement.

The board was apparently reacting to public attacks on the program a-id ACDClocal funding share, $750,000, by Rees in the news media over the last several weeks.

Rces' objection to the local share came after the amount was increased from a projected 15 per cent of the project to 30 per cent. He also objected to the view that the programs of the ACDC would be for enrichment as well as skills learning.

In its statement the board said tiie course offering should be comprehensive ami enlightening to individuals who have never a the i of career-type courses. As far as funding was concerned the hoard noted that state law requires the school district carry its responsibility for funding such a program. The statement also said the center was developed with the help of a governor's a i i i Fairbanks Native Association and officials of theschool district and borough.

The statement said the building was constructed with no debt service to the local taxpayers and said the local support for the first year of operation was small compared to the benefits.
