Her journey south is for the specific purpose of enabling her to- received physio-therapy treatment not available here.

More and Better Audits Needed
Anchorage Daily Times

The average resident of Alaska is too busy making
 living and trying to hurdle the obstacles progress to pay close attention to the actions of the public officials who represent him in the handling public funds.
 He depends on Territorial officials to administer their funds lawfully and efficiently without his ing just how they do it. He depends the municipal administration provide the he needs through the proper expenditure of his payments other revenues going into the city coffers Activities of the public utilities commission and the district school board involve large budgets and substantial expen dtures
 More recently other public bodies have come into the Alaska picture There are utility districts whose directors have the power to levy taxes and to spend them There electrical associations whose directors empowered to borrow large sums of money in be- half of the members and spend them for improvement projects.
 The average citizen, member of some or all of these groups rarely examines the books and records He knows only what he is told, which sometimes is very little.
 To protect the citizens from misuse of funds by the various agencies the Territory should provide for periodic audts of all public agencies.
 At present. the Territory conducts an audit of it. self at irregular intervals the results of the recent one amazing to say the least.
 Municipalities order their own audits in recogni- tion of the fact that their local residents and
  school boards and other bodies spending public funds usually go through the motions of some sort of an audit.
 But the value of all of them is questionable. They may account for all the funds, but do they reveal whether the expenditures have been proper and legal under the law? Is it sufficient to have each agency order its own audit and then be the custodian of M
 This is a field that the next Territorial Legislature might well investigate. proper law might be enacted to require audits be handled by competent auditors cover specified list of subjects and that they be placed file in a public office where they are readily available for public inspection without embarrass- ment.
 As civilization progresses in Alaska there are going to be more and larger sums expended by the public bodies well planned auditing procedure would pro- tect the public officials from accusations as well as protect the citizens themselves from possible misuse of funds.
 It would that the audits should be filed in central location for the citizens interested The office of the district clerk in each division would probably be most satisfactory.

JUNKETEERS

House leaders are having 6 -1erd time keeping their rank-anG-file in check on expense-free Junkets abroad.
 Usually at this time of the year the boys are scattered far and wide on official" tours of one kind or another. But the protracted session has stymied this gnawing gravy-train craving. Result, they are very restive.
 Interstate Commerce Chairman Robert Crosser, D., Ohio, is under strong pressure from committee members to agree to two junk cts. One is to Saudi-Arabia, to study U. S. oil interests there. Report ed conceiver of this plan is the powerful Arahian-American Oil Company, which has huge invest ments in the Middle East. Aramco would house and entertain the junketing Congressmen.
 The other scheme is a tour of Europe to examine airline setups and operations. Practically all are monopolistic chosen instrument systems. Pan American Airways which has long agitated for such a policy for the U. s. overseas air- lines, is credited with originating this junket.
 Crosser is holding out firmly against both trips. In this stand he has the backing Of both Speak CT Sam Rayburn and Republican floor leader Joe Martin Rayburn is very blunt about junkets.
 To a group of trip-hungiy fresh- men he rapped, Your people sent you here to legislate and not tc gallivant around the world You are being paid to work for your con- stituents. If you want to stay iil Congress, you had better stick tc your knitting here It will pay of lot more in the long run than junketeering at the taxpayers ex- pense."

THE HEAT OF SUMMER AND THE POND

Juneaus week of summer has it's residents grateful only people starved for sunshine be grateful for unexpected week of Always ready to admit our usual rain, lack of warmth real warmth in summer we find ourselves being snug about the fact that at least have no heat waves people don't die of the heat; we always sleep nights beneath blankets
 However, it is pleasant to read of summer, to find in The New York Times an editorial entitled "The Pond" that makes feel the dead heat of late summer" If had it, probably would not want it the dead heat of summer. But it is pleasant to read about remember from the past ponds such as the editorial mentions such editorials as this:
 "The quiet ponds are scummed over, now and full of algae and one gets the feeling that anything could happen in such waters any kind of life arise from them. Here in the dead heat of late summer is the marshy margin and the primordial with cattas growing in it. and he who approaches it might be walking backward in time toward remote begin nings.
 Even the pond creatures and those along its margins belong to another time than the present. Of the reptiles the snapping turtle is of the cients armored like creature of the Silurian Age and eyeing the world as from the midst of tree fern jungle The frogs primitives, adpoles which have shed gils and tails and crept land in the venerable cycle of living things from the to the rocks The water snakes are still sthering through the vanished age when pterodactyls had yet grown wings And in the air drift and dart such dragonflies be found fossils in rocks older than coal.
 Even the birds that haunt the pond have an other worldly air, the gaunt herons with their beady eyes and dartng beaks and the bobtailed kngfshers

STRONG DEFENDER

There is another place in Wash ington, besides the White House, where Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan has strong defenders.
 It is the medical department of the Veterans Administration.
 To chiefs of this agency the em- battled White House military aide Is something of hero. He gave them helping hand at a time when theY were in desperate straits They have never forgotten him for it. This is the story they tell:
 In l946. when Gen. Omar Brad ley, as VA. Administrator, was frantically trying to reorganize the moribund medical service, his most urgent need was doctors and den- lists. VA. hospital were jammed with ailing and disabled veterans. Maj. Gen. Paul Hawley. chief medi- cal director, reported he needed 2,000 doctors immediately.
 Strenuous efforts to obtain civil ian medics proved unavailing. Bradley and Hawley were at their wits ends. Someone suggested they see Vaughan about the matter.
 His response was immediate.
 T think I've got the answer to your problem" he said, If we can get the Army and Navy to cooper ate, and I see no reason why they shouldn't. The Army has hundreds ot surplus doctors, which it train ed and who are clamoring to get out. But it's short of dentists. The Navy has lot of surplus den- ' tist, which it trained If we can do some swapping, it will be to everybody's benfit all around. The ! government has a claim on these young doctors and they should be used in this emergency. I'll see what I can do about the matter"
 Vaughan made good his word.
 Going directly to then Secretary of War Robert Patterson and Navy Secretary James Forrestal, Vaugh- an arranged three-way swap. The Navy transferred TOO dentists to the Army and 500 doctors to the VA. Similarly, the Army detailed 2,000 doctors to VA. for two years ser vice. Thus, the Army got the dentists it sorely needed, VA. the doctors it desperately needed, and the government received some re- turn for the training it had given | the medics.
 General Hawley credits his sue cess as VA medical director as due in a large measure to Vaugh- ans effective aid in this crisis.
