Dr. Frifx Tells of
 Kiwanis Eye Bank for corneaI TranspIanfs

About 25 local people gathered at the Coop club room Wednes- day evening, September 26, to hear Dr. Milo Fritz of Anchorage discuss diseases of the cornea- more particularly, corneal ulcers.
 His talk was illustrated with colored slides taken by him. One showed corneal ulcer on the eye of a Matanuska Valley child. Dr. Fritz said that corneal ulcers re- spond rapidly to treatment with the new drug cortisone if admin istered in the first stage of the disease. However, if the ulcer is permitted to grow unchecked, the eye may be rendered useless.
 When this occurs, Dr. Fritz ad- ded, vision may be restored by transplanting part of good cor nea into the diseased one. The cornea of a person who has just died may be used if it is taken within a few hours of death. The Kiwanis Club of Anchorage is sponsoring the organization of an eye bank to which people may bequeath their eyes for this pur- pose. Further details of the plan will be announced when they have been worked out.

Alaska Cost-of-Living Surveys Victims of Budget Cut

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not be able to undertake any Living surveys in Alaska this year, according to informa- tion given Delegate E. L. Bart lett by Commissioner of Labor Statistics Evan Clague.
 "We are very much interested iii carrying forward the work which we have already done in Alaska and we recognize the value of it." Commissioner Clague stated, but the only way we can do studies in Alaska is to obtain additional funds for that pur- pose"
 Delegate Bartlett had urged that the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics compile on a continuing basis cost-of-living statistics not only in Anchorage and Fairbanks, where surveys were conducted early this year, but in other areas of the Territory.
 Unfortunately" MT. Clague declared, neither the regular funds of the Bureau nor the funds for the revision of the consumers

price index are sufficient to cover studies in Alaska this year. I find myself in the position of saying this regardless of my awareness of the emergency need of the peo- pie of Alaska for these studies now. Our regular Bureau budget was reduced by $8O0,O00 from the amount requested in the Presi- dents budget and the special ap- propriation for the revision of the consumers price index was cut by $178,000."

Credit Controls frightened
To Bar Evasion by Rentals
BY the Assoeiated Press

The Federal Reserve Board last
night frightened up it's credit con-
troll regulations to prevent evasion
OF cash down-payment require
ments through rental" schemes.
|. Officials said there had been
reports of growing practice of
renting" autos, television sets and
other appliances for periods of up
to three months and then letting
the rent payment be counted as a
down payment on purchase of the
goods.
The board issued arramendment
to prevent such rental payments
from being counted toward the
one-third cash down payment on
autos and rs per cent down pay
ment required on most other goods
subject to credit controls.
The amendment exempts from
credit control terms bona fide rent
agreements for periods of three
months or less and not renewable.
Longer rental contracts are sub
ject to the down payment and
15-month pay-off limit terms Of
the controls.
