Joseph p. Kennedy. ambassador
to Great Britain and one-time
chairman Of the U. s. maritime
commission, has proposed idle
American vessels be put into SER
vice on runs to British possessions.
Because Of Great Britain's short
age of ships, Kennedy said he
thought a plan could be evolved
whereby idle American tonnage
could be operated to serve British
territories outside the combat
areas, pointing out that such a
plan would give employment, not
only to u. s. ships, but to many
American seamen and officers.
Kennedy also said he hoped to
work out a plan for increased sale
Of American lumber which Brit
ain needs but for which shipping
facilities are lacking.

u. P. Corrects
Error In Grand
Jury Reporting
BY I..- H.He

OLYMPIA-(By United Press)
-Thurston county grand jury's
report on state auditing. filed this
week, praised as adequate the
operations of the state department
of finance, budget and business
in auditing code and other depart
ments of government.
The jury said it found mo evil
dence" that they were making
inadequate and inefficient audits,
but that, on the contrary, the in
vestigations were entirely ade-
quate.
The jury said another charge
that state employees were being
reimbursed on expense accounts
to which they were not entitled
also was groundless.
In . story carried earlier
this week, The United Press
inadvertently referred to these
charges made to the jury rs
being the charges made by the
jury. 1t is pleased to make
this correction of those state
ments referring to the depart
ment's operations.
The major objection voiced to
the present system Of dual audit
ing, under State Auditor Cliff
Yelle and the department of fl
nance, was that conflict Of oper-
atoms apparently existed. 1t rec
commended a separate budget divi-
sion be set up apart from the gov
ernor or any other elective official,
answerable only to the legislature.
