The Senate Committee on Educa-

duced in the Senate by Senator
Lewis B. Schwellenbach, at the re-
quest of Alaska Delegate Dimond, to
require the payment of prevailing

would merely extend to the Terri

The establishment of an ROTC
init at the University of Alaska is
lot only desired at the university
out by the high command of the
Army. The establishment and
maintenance of such a unit is in
harmony with the Army and Navy
llans for the defense of Alaska. The
law at the present time provides that
UGH units must embrace at least
one hundred men, but the university
cannot furnish quite that number.
1t is hoped that Congress will look

Schools Almost
ALuxury'

Branding schools as almost a
luxury to people already over
burdened with ever increasing tax
ation," the grand jury urged that
school boards and school authorities
make a desperate effort to hold
down school costs.
Our schools are by far the heav-
lest drain on our taxes" the report
said. I'VE desire good school build
ings and proficient personnel to
man them, but with the cost of ever
increasing functions in school work,
together with the cost of these mag
nificent structures. our schools have
come to be almost q luxury q"
School authorities were asked to
hold down expenses consistent with
educational efficiency and have
every item of expense carefully con-
sidered with regard to its necessity
and economy before the expense
is authorized.

No Deferrlent for
State Employees

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 20. CUP)-
No deferments will be asked for
employees drafted for military serv-
ice, the state personnel board an
nounced today.
That policy was adopted after
Louis J. Kroeger executive officer
of the board was criticized by Pres
ident Arthur j. Brown, San Bernar-
dino, for appearing before a draft
board seeking deferment of an un-
married staff employe without the
personnel boards permission.
Kroeger's action was revealed
when j. l.. R. Marsh. local draft
board secretary, appeared before the
personnel board with a request for
a statement on the boards defer
ment policy.
E. H. Christian, Hayward, a men,
ber OF the board, said there was no
reason why an employe should ask
deferment under the necessary oc-
cupation clause.

Inquisitors Slap
Family Hiring
In Public Office

Following in the footsteps of prac-
tically all grand juries in the past
the 1910 group took a slap at the
practice of employing more than
one person from a family in politi-
cal subdivisions or other organiza-
tions whose income is derived from
taxation.
I'VE feel" the 1910 group said in
resolution. that such multiple
public employees in one family,
drawing salaries from tax money,
is economically unsound and con-
trary to public policy and welfare" b"
They recommended that all per-
sons having in their jurisdiction the
employing of personnel in such poll
teal subdivisions and similar organ
izations, refrain from employing
more than one person in any one
family.

Notes from the Grand Jury Report
State MeddIinq
In Welfare Hit

Thumbs down on federal and state
meddling in county welfare person.
nel.
A resolution favoring county su-
pervision Of the merit system for
the personnel in the county well
fare department was passed by the
grand jury.
1t was suggested that the federal
security act be amended to permit
counties of the various states to
prepare and set up their own merit
system without the interference OF
state and federal control,
The grand jury frowned on the
present system which provides that
appointments to the welfare office
personnel may be made only from
certain lists made up and presented
to the county board of supervisors
by the state merit council.

Insanity Problem
Studied by Jury

An attempt to solve one of the
county's greatest problems was made
when the grand jury recommended
that facilities be available at the
county hospital for the care of in
sane patients before they are COM
mitted to state institutions.
They did not enlarge on the rec
ommendation but indicated they had
made a study of the problem cre-
ated because there are no especially
prepared wards or rooms where in
sane persons may be cared for prop
erly.
1t was suggested that the recep-
ton hall at the county hospital be
enlarged by extending it to the
front of the building. Such enlarge
ment was said to be needed to make
adequate accommodations for the
large number of persons bringing
patients to the public clinics.
