After Budget Approval

Action on adding bloodhounds to
the ~city-county law enforcement
program, as recommended by the
last Superior Court grand jury,
will not be taken until after the
municipal and county budgets
have been approved.
That was revealed yesterday as
both city and county officials went
ahead in preparing budgets for
the 1947-48 fiscal year.
Authorities explained that no &C
ton on the recommendations can
be taken until it is determined how
much funds will be available for
law enforcement activities.
Both police and the sheriff S
office expect TO include requests
for additional funds in their bud
gets that could take care of pur-
chasing and using bloodhounds.
Whether the city fathers and
commissioners will allow the addi-
tons, could not be ascertained
last night.
The grand jury In its report two
weeks ago said the use of blood
hounds in tracing down escaped
prisoners and other criminals was
needed in New Hanover county.

No Cause for Hysteria
Washington Post

We hope that President Truman will give no heed to the excited demands that he launch campaign against his former Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace. Undoubtedly that is what MT. Wallace is angling for He would like to digny his cheap assault upon bipartisan foreign policy that taking shape in Washington by crossing swords with the President Numerous Republicans Capitol Hill would also be delighted to such fight between the Demo- cratic President and former stalwart in the Demo- cratic Party. But the effect would be useless dis spation of energy and a diversion of interest from the real issue before Congress and the country.
 Effective replies to Mir. Wallace have already come from hundreds of different sources. The con- sensus seems to be that he has made himself foolish by misrepresenting policy of his country in speeches delivered in other lands. This loss of stature is peculiarly fitting penalty for ndiscreon in the of the right of freedom of speech. For any with political ambitions it is devastating blow. But, aside from this fact the suggestions now being made that MT. Wallace's passport should be revoked and that he should be investigated by the House Un- American Activities committee utterly out of keeping with our way of life to be ridiculous. Democracy is not to be redeemed by abandoning it's principles
 The best that Congress can give to MT. Wallace is a resoundng bipartisan vote in favor of the Presidents program of aiding Greece and Turkey to maintain their independence. The idea that MT. Walace's petuant and muddled speeches must be answered from the White House before Republican Senators will support what they regard sound and essential international policy is only political alteration that cannot stand the test of analysis The only sound for supporting the Truman Doctrine is that it is rght-that it offers positive and feasible method by which democracy protect itself against expanding totaaranism. All the epithets and wise cracks that MT. Wallace can utter will not change this fact So long he play upon the novelty of bombardng the foreign policy of his country from foreign shore doubtless he will have some listeners but it will be the vote of Congress that will be heard in Athens, Ankara, Moscow and every other capital in Inc baci uool11 power to muffe MT Wallace's sensationalsm by the unperturbed and dignified methods of democracy.

TOYS, BOOKS NEEDED FOR CRIPpLED KIDS
 AT ORTK0pEDll HOSP.

There is an urgent need for toys and books for children who are now patients in the Orthopedic ward of the general hospital at Japonski Island, according to Mrs. John Mccormick, president of the Juneau Chapter, Alaska Crippled Children's Association.
 Many of these patients, whose ages range from four years to about 21, are a long way from home and need something to oc- cupy their time or to amuse them selves. Toys and books should be in good condition, so they can be giv- en immediately to the children for their enjoyment.
 Color and cutout books, used Christmas cards for scrapbooks, and soft, stuffed dolls and animals are among some of the suggested ar ticles which would be most well come.
 SICdll IlC hopdPCAo nAS NNAs AAANSAA needed in the Orthopedic ward, and the .ACCA IS requesting people to save their papers, and to call the Public Health Center to arrange to have them picked up.
 Anyone who has the time and is willing to assist at orthopedic clinics to be held in Juneau is re- quested to register at the Health Center, Mrs. Mccormick said. There is also a reed for more people with cars who could be called upon to help bring crippled children in from the airport, and to assist in other ways when they are being transferred to the Orthopedic Hos pital.

PROTECTING THE MARINES

A huShhuSh meeting between General Eisenhower and Marine Corps General Alexander Vande- grift took place recently which may affect the Armed Forces Merger Bill
 The Marine Corps Commandant made such two-fisted appeal to Congress to prevent the Marines being swallowed up by the Army that Eisenhower sent for Vande- grift and asked him to talk things over.
 From a leatherneck's point of view, the meeting was not unsuc- cessful Eisenhower made at least one major concession: That the mission of the Marine Corps be clearly identified in the future de- fense setup and Marines continue the amphibous operations which have made the Corps famous for l50 years.
 Other points of difference dis cussed were:
 1.-The Marine Corps shall re- main a separate fighting force un- der the supervision of the Navy when the Navy is merged into the new Department of National De- fense Eisenhower said he would not oppose this.
 2.-The Marine Corps wants to be represented on the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the new setup. Eisenhower refused to commit himself on this.
 3.-Vandegrift asked that the merger legislation provide for a Marine occupation force for foreign duty.
 Eisenhower vigorously opposed this latter point on the ground that occupation duty is strictly a job for the Army. Vandegrift didn't press too hard, since he had all ready won more concessions than he expected. Also he is willing to take his chances that Congress will give the Marines other con- sessions, particularly representa- tion on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

 CANADA REVEALED FRAUD
 The charge of fraud against Az word is based on the fact that he went to France shortly after 1880 and prepared a tax return for Mrs. Eleanor Patenotre, daughter of James Elverson, stating that her income for the year 1880 was only S28,282.l6 That was the year that the Philadelphia Inquirer was sold by the Patenotre family to Moe Annenberg TOT $l0,500,000.
 Later came the war, and under wartime agreement between the United States and Canada, the Canadian Government revealed to the U. $. Treasury that on March 1, 1880 payments were made to the Royal Bank of Mrs. Patenotre as income. The deal had been careful ly arranged in Canada, the Trea- sury alleges, in order to avoid taxes. Furthermore. though Mrs, Paten- otre claimed she had actually giv- en the Inquirer stock to her son, the records of the bank show that she, not he. got the certificate of deposit from the Royal Bank Ci Canada
 When the U. s. Treasury final ly unearthed this fraud tax-lobby- ist Alvord claimed that his clients were in Vichy France where he could net communicate with them. Apparently he forgot about war time censorship. For the U. s. cen- scr, opening mail in wartime, inter cepted Alvord's letters to the Pa tenotre family.
 Now Raymond Patenotre is back in the USA and wire pulling battle-royal is going on to see whe- ther the Treasury's earlier fraud charge will or will not be prose- cuted.
