 ter months.
 The main purpose of the survey, MT. Johnson stated, is to bring cheap electric power to the areas, where development is possible, of such strategic minerals as lead, zinc, copper, industrial diamonds, asbestos, graphite coal, and gold, The possibilities are unlimited as to the potentialities resulting from this type of power and would be a great factor in developing the Ter ritory as whole and to interesting Outside capital for investment here. New businesses would be possible following the development of adequate and cheap power. Con- servation of petroleum products would be possible through use of this water power which is now running off unchecked to the ocean.
 MT. Morgan stated that he and MT. Johnshon had covered the Ter ritory on a cursory survey from Ketchikan to the Arctic Circle, making plans and reporting find ings on potential sites for power projects.
 H. F. Harper, president of the chamber, stated that the develop ment of such a power site would make possible many new fields of industry in this area and bring economic security to the Eskimo people, the development of natural resources and the resultant saving of strategic petroleum and coal.
 He stated that the VIVA Cham Der of Commerce will make all possible effort 10 assist the Bureau of Reclamation in their survey for continued work on this project.
 Members of the City Council also were in complete accord with the prospect of cheap power for the development of the area.

Joint D. T.. Committee
Replacing Senate and
House Groups Urged
Aiken Expenditures Unit
Approves His Bill to
Sove Time Of Congress
By Harold B. ROGERS

Abolition of both the House
and Senate District Committees
and establishment in their place
of a new Joint Committee on
the District of Columbia was
recommended to the Senate to-
day by the Senate Committee on
Expenditures in the Executive
Departments.
The proposal was contained in a
bill sponsored by all members of
the Expenditures Committee, head
ed by Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont.
The bill would amend the Legis-
lative Reorganization Act of 1916.
To accomplish its purpose, it would
change the language of this 1946
law in several particulars.
Establishment of a joint commit
tee for the District long has been
sought by legislators who have COM
planned that handling affairs of the
District took too much time of
members of Congress.
To consolidate the House and
Senate committees, it was pointed
out in report by the Executive
Expenditures Committee, would
make for greater efficiency and
saving of time.
Another proposal for a joint con-
gressional committee is pending in
the Auchincloss bill for home rule
and reorganization of the District
government.
Full Power to Report Bills.
In its report on the bill, the COM
mittee discussed at some length the
reasons why abolition of the sepa-
rate committees of House and Senate
on the District was proposed.
1T does not seem necessary for
38 members of the Congress to
spend so much time on the affairs
of the District of Columbia" de-
clared the report. THAT figure rep
resents the total membership of
House and Senate District Com
mittees.)
IF the Congress must function as
a city council for Washington, a
smaller number of Senators and
Representatives should devote their
time to it.
The provisions Of the proposed
amendment give the members of the
Senate and the members of the
House of Representative who are
members of the joint committee full
power to report to their respective
houses. and in no way binds them

Under House Plan
Probers Find No Froud
But Stress Need to
Answer Criticism
By the Associoied Press

About 10000 retired Army and
Navy officers face new physical
checkups under a congressional
plan to revamp military pension
systems.
A House Armed Services Sub
committee recommended this move
today as the first step toward cor
recting' the armed forces retire
ment programs.
The group, headed by Repre-
sentative Elston. Republican, OF
Ohio, began its study last Decem-
Der after Senate committees in
vestlgation of Maj. Gen. Bennett
E. Meyers, former Air Force pur-
chasing officer.
Meyers, who had been retired
with a $3.50 month disability
pension, later was convicted of per-
suadlng a business associate to lie
TO the Senate committee about
their wartime business deals, He
was sentenced to 20 months 10
5 years prison term.
Report Is Quoted.
The Elston report said:
Public criticism of physical re-
tlrements has become so intense
that a serious reflection has been
cast upon the integrity of the mill
tary services. We consider it i'm
perative that affirmative action be
taken.
There appears to be only one pos-
slble course, and that is a reexami-
nation Of those who have been
physically retired"
The committee said that of about
$4,000 officers retired for disabilities
between January /. 1910, and Janu-
ary l. l948, approximately Is 900 OBJ
vlously were physically disabled.
For the remaining 10000 the COM
mlttee recommended new check,lps

No Evidence Of Fraud.
1t added that information gained
from II public hearings and from
answer to 2,74l QueStionnaireS sent
to retired officers produced no evil

The committee made these sug-
gestions for correcting present re-
tirement practices:

disability is permanent, the officer
should be retired conditionally for
