 Dr. Montgomery has had wide field of experience, especially in two large clinics, one in California and one in Nevada. He has also had experience in private practice in San Jacinto, Calf.
 Dr. Montgomery will conduct a general practice in which he VII. treat most of the acute and chron- ic diseases.

 His office will consist of the lat est and most modern equipment.
 pr. Decker says Dr. Montgomery is one of the most qualified physi- clans he has ever met in his g years of experience; also that he feels he will be definite asset to Juneau as he is very civic mind- ed. In California he was active in the Chamber of Commerce, past active member of 20-30 Club anc also Optimists International
 pr. Montgomery's hobbies are music and psychiatry. In psychiatry he had done quite a bit of post graduate work, including an exten- sion course from Stanford Un.ver- sity. As a musician he achieved quite reputation throughout Southern California where he gave innumerable programs for service clubs.
 Mrs. Montgomery will assist pr. Montgomery as his nurse until oth- CT arrangements can be made. She is also an accomplished musician.

puRLIcIrY FoR VOTES IN coNcREss

The Congressional Record which re-
ports much Of what is said and done in
Congress. and a great deal which is said
somewhere else, is the subject OF critical
comment on the part of many newspaper
columnists and radio commentators.
While publication Of The Record en-
tails considerable expense upon the Gov
eminent, the publication Is vitality neces-
sary to the free distribution ofinformation
in this country While few Americans ever
have time to read the issues that chronicle
what goes on in Congress, they contain
much valuable information and serve IN g
way to mirror the political trend among
the people.
The Congressional Record gives us
much information but there are wide gaps
which should be corrected in the interest
of informing the public. These relate, in
the main, to the manner in which various
members of Congress are able to keep their
positions secret from their constituents.
For example, the voting in some COM
nlittee meetings is kept secret and too
often votes in the House or Senate are not
on record roll call This enables a Con-
gressnnen to fight measure vigorously but
when the crippling amendment which he
supports Is defeated, to join with the
majority and vote for final passage.
Consequently. he is in position to as
sure enemies Of the measure that he fought
it vigorously and to point to the official
roll call on final passage as proof that he
was for it. This is bad.
To remedy this situation, however,
viii require favorable vote on the part of
congressman. Such detailed publication
of voting records has been proposed but
has not yet been adopted. We believe in
the full disclosure of the votes Of our legis-
lators, SO that the record will reveal ex-
actly the positions they took on important
matters. There should be no secrets in con-
nection with the voting record of Congress
men, or of State Legislators, and the sooner
method is adopted to give full publicity,
the better.

GET THE SEX PERvERTs

Not many weeks ago, a prominent res
ident of large city in the United States
protested conditions which, he asserted.
made it dangerous for woman to walk
the streets of the city. He referred to the
number of attacks upon women and child
rem and suggested that the situation con-
stituted disgrace" to our civilization.
We are inclined to agree with the
gentleman. It is hard to pick up news
paper these days, without reading about
an attack upon some woman or child of
tender years. Apparently, there are a
considerable number of sex maniacs in the
country.
The astonishing fact about so many of
the attacks is that the past record of the
offender gives plain indication that he
is pervert. It is hard to understand the
ease with which some of these offenders
get out of prison on probation
On one day in November, we read of a
66-year-old man awaiting quick justice
In Los Angeles for the sex-slaying of a
| six-year-old girl
On the same day, District Judge in
Idaho warned officers not to bring six
teen-year-old high school athlete to the
town where he admittedly killed seven
year-old girl. The Judge warned the Of
ficers not to bring the boy home cor he
might not be alive in the morning.
| Another story along the same line, but
| with a different ending, came from Ber-
ryville, Va, where a 19-year-old woman
shot and killed 22-year-old man, who
had held her captive in. his automobile
nearly all night. Luckily for her, the man
had a pistol on him and was careless. She
got the gun and killed him. running bare
foot in the freezing cold to call the police.
The third story may give the answer
| to the wave of sex crimes that Inevitably
| shock the communities in which they oc-
| cur. Obviously, however, while young
| women may protect themselves with guns.
| it is impossible for a small child to do the
| same.
Certainly, the present condition war
rants the serious attention of all sections
| of the country Something must be done
to protect women and children from sex
perverts and, if necessary, society should
not hesitate to put these offenders out of
! the way.
