Of charge tickets be used by the
various departments. In this man
ner, the patients accounts may be
posted daily and the final bill be
presented upon discharge Al the
present time, the patients charges
are posted from the medical chart.
This procedure is unduly long and
the bills to patients are not pre-
pared until several days after they
have been discharged from the
hospital. This method also tends to
create lengthy collection pro-
cedures.
The value of free services rem
dered TO patients should be set as
in accounting records and charged
TO expense at the end of each
month. The amount due from pa.
tients, as shown In the Balance
Sheet, includes balances which
should have been charged to free
work. However, due TO the admit
ting procedure and lack of infOr-
nation on the patients ledger
cards, it was impossible at this
time to determine the amount
which should have been elimin-
ated from the total amount due
from patients. TO compensate for
this condition, the reserve for I'M
collectible accounts was increased
to an amount sufficient, in the
opinion of the director OF the hos
pital to reflect the net amount of
accounts receivable at the sum
which would be ultimately col
lected.
II should be borne in mind. that
the provisions for uncollectible ac.
counts should reflect only the
amounts due and uncollectible
from pay patients and that the
value Of free work should be ac-
tnally computed and reflected in
the accounts.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW HANKS

The Soil Conservation Service extends New Years greetings to everyone in the Valley.
 As we near the end of another year, I'm not thinking of the con- servation job ahead but of the conservation work that has been done here Folks, it has been con- siderable. There is only one per son on a piece of land who can do conservation job. That's the one who farms it. have yet to meet a farmer in the Matanuska Valley who wasn't interested in protecting his land and doing a good job of farming. The two terms are synonymous; they mean soil conservation. Jobs like plan ming crop rotation. fertilization, seeding and managing grass pas lures, clearing land properly and leaving windbreaks are the good farming methods that pay off here. When you think of soil con- servation, don't think of a few employees in government office in Palmer. Think of the thousand people who are working the soil here producing crops for us to eat. There aren't just couple of soil .conservationists in this Val ley. There are a thousand con servationists who are taking good care of their land.
 Sure, we still have wind ero- sion here. The job being done isn't complete. The important thing is that we don't have one hundredth of the wind erosion here that we could have if a thousand conservationists weren't doing a pretty good job here al ready.
 Happy New Year!

Recommends Location For New Federal Jail

Tn a letter from F. T. Wilkinson, warden of McNeil Island Peni- tentiary, the first choice for To- eating the new federal jail in An chorage was made known.
 Wilkinson recommended the site behind the Federal Building where the quonset huts used as a Post Office annex and ACS of- fees now stand. He added that it remains now for the plans to be completed and presented to con ferees of the appropriations com mittee in Congress in order to get the "go-ahead" for building the jail.
 Wilkinson was in Anchorage a short time ago to survey prison conditions there on behalf of fed eral authorities.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April II = (R- The Anchorage Times says there is growing Republican move ment for the nomination of Sen. Gunnard Engebreth of Anchorage as the COP nominee for delegate to Congress.
 Engebreth was president of the Territorial session in both the 1949 and 1851 sessions. The paper said Engebreth had no comment to make on the reports.
 Engebreth frequently crossed party lines in the recent session to vote with the majority of the Demo- crats and two other Republicans Anita Garnick of Juneau and Percy Ipalook of Kotzebue, says the Times He also was the outspoken critic of Albert White of Juneau, the Republican party general counsel in Alaska Engebreth called him Boss White" and White fired back that he didn't consider Engebreth Re- publican.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April H. R- Federal Judge Anthony Di- mond has denied two defense mo- tions in the antitrust trial against Anchorage taxicab operators.
 Defense Atty. William Renfrew had asked dismissal of charges against R. c. Milligan, one of the owners of the Star and Gray Cab companies.
 Renfrew also asked for acqllittal of all defendants, contending there was lack of sufficient evidence.
 Defense Starts
 Today, the seventh day of the trial, the defense was to open its side of the case. Final government witness late yesterday was Attorney Peter Kalamirides of the Inter-Post Cab Go.
 Defense attorneys spent much time yesterday arguing over intro duction of copies of documents taken from voluminous military files concerning taxicab operations at Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson.

 Fischetti and his brother Rocco, surrendered nine days ago to the sergeant-at-arms of the U. s. Sem ate after Federal agents had sought them many months to serve them with U. S. Senate Crime Investigat- ing Committee subpoenaes.

United Nations forces continued their drive into Red Korea today outwardly unstirred by the moment ous supreme command shakeup un- der which President Truman fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
 Many of the fighting men in the battle lines did not know at a late hour Wednesday that Truman had fired MacArthur.
 At the time of the great shift in top command this was the mili- tary situation in Korea:
 Military Situation
 South Korea was virtually free of Communist troops. The last major pocket of Reds was holding out west of the Imjin River on the extreme Western front.
 On the Central front American troops drove along the southern shores of Hwachon Reservoir to- ward the big dam and power grid. Censorship yelled their progress.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
tcopyrisht. 1881. oy Bell Syndicate. Inc

Copyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate, 1nc.. " VASHINGTON.- two cabinet meetings in the past three weeks, General MacArthur's unauthorized policy statements have come in for important, even heated discussion.
 Most heated debate was not last week but immediately after Mac Arthur's pre-Easter statement of March "A, in which he proposed a peace meeting with Chinese mili- tary commanders.
 At this cabinet meeting the Pres ident remarked that he was sorry he hadn't fired Macarthur last summer-following his out-of line statement to the Veterans of For elgn Wars. What aroused the Presidents heat just before Easter was that MacArthur's peace state ment was one which Truman him. self was planning to make.
 What happened was that the joint chiefs of staff had cabled MacArthur, for his perusal and personal reaction, copy of an Easter appeal for peace which the state department had already dis
