= Bookkeeping's Vital Role

The greatest intellectual tool
that the human race ever in
vented, In my opinion. was the
invention by the F'lorentine
monks after the Middle Ages OF
the technique of double entry
bookkeeping
We use il in business. we use
Il in banking II shows where
from and Whereto for every
transaction. and by means Of
the double entry ana the bat
ance We check our errors as We

accounts OF the most compli-
Gated corporation in this tech
nique Of simple arithmetic.
However when We deal with
the totalitieS of all business,
when We deal with the signifi-
can't totaltieS as 10 how the
American people produce and
exchange goods. instead Of using
this same technique Of double
entry bookkeeping. we default
on the lob and leave II 10 the
theorists and 10 impractical
ststiStlClanS. who use single
entry bookkeeping and who
make a special study Of each
problem unrelated TO the total,
leaving everything hung IN mid
air and without the double
accounts which check and bal
ance and which point out errors

Tools of Fact-FindinR

So I say that, before We start
on our crusade 20 tell the Amer

American life under the Ameri-

the war. we should start out
with the tools OF fact-finding
and have better understand

relation OF the various parts;
and that when we have this re-

then We should all make our

We should explain 10 the

McNary said he urged Knox the necessity of protection of the Pacific coast states and Alaska against any further Jap aggression.
 McNary said Knox told him the Navy was alert to the situ- ation but thought the incident off the Oregon coast was an iso- lated one. McNary told Knox that unless the Japs are driven out of the Aledtians and north western coastal waters promptly we might cancel the advantages, gained in the Midway victory"
 The Senator said Knox advised him that in Navy opinion the Japs establishment in Kiska was

Production Given

Washington (P)-President Roosevelt has disclosd that Am erica's mighty war effort for the single month of May turned out nearly 4000 planes and more than 1900 tanks. Releasing the official war production figures for the fist time since Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt asserted that the US. had also turned out nearly 2000 artillery and anti-tank guns in May, exclusive of anti-aircraft guns and those to be mounted in tanks.
 He said he released the figures because they are going to give the Axis just the opposite of "aid or comfort.

A new flying boat of Star air. lines, being brought to Alaska for service in their run, was des- troyed by fire at Takla Landing, about 90 miles from Prince Rup- ert, recently. Pilot Chet Brown was flying the plane from New York. No details of the accident were given.

Washington (R) = President Roosevelt has signed legislation to prevent repitition of the in cident which occurred when a u. s. customs official demanded that Canadian airmen ground and pay duty on their arms and other equipment before entering Alaska to reinforce defenses.
 When the Alaskan customs official wired Washington he was told the Canadians could te classified as distinguished for eign visitors" and was ordered to free them from regular GUS toms inspections.
 One high Washington official demanded to know tbe customs mans name, suggesting he would be useful after the war at some Philippine post where he could confront any new Jap invasion with a copy of the U. s. Tariff act.

Praises Health Councils.
Lauding the value OF health
councils in the secondary schools,
DR.. Reed suggested there was much
they can do to deal with the prob
lem. They can:
/. Examine standards of hygiene
in the buildings and grounds and
equipment of their schools.
2. Consider procedures for the
control of communicable disease.
g. Establish procedures for dealing
with the parents and the home.
4. Serve as a clearing house for
distribution Of health data.
5. Survey cases of bad behavior
with a view to determining whether
physical defects are responsible.
DR.. Reed emphasized that improv-
ing the health and physical condi-
ton of the school children was a
cooperative venture for both the
school officials and the Health De-
partment with its school medical
examiners and public health nurses.

Maritime Technical Group
Will Be Decentra|ized

Plans are being formulated by the
United States Maritime Commission
for a decentralization of its techni-
cal and construction forces now sta
toned here. The general purpose
of the proposal, it was said, is to
speed up the shipbuilding program
No other employees of the commits
sion here would be affected by the
plan, it was said.
Employees of these two divisions
are to be called to meeting at 8
o'clock this afternoon in the De-
partment OF Commerce auditorium
where they will be addressed by
Rear Admiral Howard L. Vickery
vice chairman of the board and in
direct charge of the construction
and Rear Admiral Emory S. Land
chairman of the board and also wal
shipping administrator.
Under the present organization, ii
was said, there are some delays in
submitting plans and getting ap-
proyal from Washington from far
away points. This time would be
saved by putting the technical and
construction divisions in four CEN
trail places in the areas where ship
building is going on, and with au-
thority to act without referring
matters to Washington. There
would be an office for the Pacific
Coast one for the Great Lakes re-
gion. another for the Atlantic and a
fourth for the Gulf.
