REHABILITATION WEEK

President Eisenhower in message to Congress said:
 We should provide for progressive expansion of rehabilitation resources and should act that sound foundation may be established in 1855
 My forthcoming budget message will reflect this objective Our goal in 1855 to restore 1000 disabled persons to productive lives. This is an increase of 10000 over the number rehabitated in 1853 Our goal for 1856 should be 100000 rehabitated persons, or 40 900 persons more than those restored in 1853.
 Tn 1856 also the states should begin to contribute from their own funds to the cost of rehabtatng these additional persons By 1859 with gradually increasing state participation to the point of equal sharing with the federal government should reach the goal of 100000 rehabilitated persons each year"
 Governor B. Frank Heintzleman by proclamation has urged the people of Alaska to observe this week and urges the mayors of municipalities and other public officials leaders of industry and labor and members of religious civic veterans fraterna and other organza tons to participate actively in this observance.

Constitutional Convention Must Allow For Changing Times and Fast Travel In Creating Alaska County Structure

municipalities. City and state po- lice have in many states rendered the police functions of the county sheriff almost nil
 There is one basic function that the county provides, however, that cannot be overlooked. It makes possible organized local govern ment throughout the entire terri tory of a state In few states there are unorganized counties, but even these units are attached to some adjoining county for gov ernmental services.
 The real problems for the Alas ka Constitutional Convention to resolve are these:
 l. Which functions are best per formed by the future state and which by local units of govern ment.
 2. What form of local govern ment can be created which will have the advantages of the broad territorial jurisdiction of the county while avoiding the evils that have dogged the footsteps of the traditional American county?
 3. What form of local govern ment can be created which will possess adequate legislative auth ority, administrative unity, and corporate power to perform eff ciently all local services while avoiding the necessity of creating a host of duplicating and overlap ping governmental units.
 Tn nearly all states the need to simplify local government struc- ture has been clearly recognized. Over the past 15 years, the num- Der of local units has been grad ually decreasing as various juris- dictions have successfully been consolidated. It is commonly rec ognized that the older, traditional units-counties, townships, and municipalitieS-cover too small an area and are too restricted in their authority to efficiently admins ter the many functions assigned them in an age of rapid transit and easy communication. The trend is significant and points to a need for a local structure that avoids duplication of authority and jurisdictional overlapping.

Stevenson Warns Worlds People
 Want Better Living

AUSTIN, Tex, R-Adlai Stew enson said Wednesday night that countless people of the world are demanding more of the good things of life, and warned:
 sWe will not enjoy our own well-being so long as they hunger Perhaps we will not be allowed to enjoy 1t if they hunger"
 Stevenson spoke at the Univer- sity of Texas to a crowd of $500.
 The 1852 Democratic presiden- tial candidate backed a program Of trade and aid in his speech.
 He said he was not proposing free trade tomorrow" but i've should recognize once and for all that we are the great creditor na- ton of the world"
 He said if this country expects to sell its products abroad, i've must permit foreign producers to sell in our market to earn dollars to buy our products.
 Stevenson also said he wished there were more talk about the durability" of the United States prosperity and less on blooms"

The vast distances and large unpopulated areas Of Alaska do not contradict this point, they re- inforce it. The traditional pattern of American local government was created to serve a population that moved on horseback or in horse drawn carriages, and which had none of the advantages of modern communication. In spite of Alaska's vast and sparsely pop ulated territory, it is nevertheless true that it takes less time to get from Fairbanks to Anchorage or from Juneau to Ketchikan than it does to drive from one side of Los Angeles to another. True, it costs more, but operation of government, whether state Tor To- cal, does not require daily com mutation.

al functions have been entrusted to county boards in suburban assassination that are normal ly those of municipal govern ments. This development stems from the demands for services by residents who have resisted incor- poration or annexation to munich pal units. The result has often been a complete confusion of mu- nicipal and county activities So that few services provided by one type of governmental unit are not also provided by the other, all though perhaps for different peo- pie.
 Unfortunately, most counties lack both the organizational struc ture' and unity of a municipal corporation. They lack self-gov- ernment. Hence, they remain es- sentially an extension of state government, an extension ill-suit- ed to the performance of state functions and ill-adapted to meet the needs of an urban community or for local self-government in any community, urban or rural.
 Far more significant than all the efforts to revanp the county structure have been the devices used to bypass both county and municipality as government units through creation of special dis tricts to levy taxes and perform specific government functions. In a very real sense, the extent to which such districts have been created is a direct measure of the inadequacy of existing local gov ernmentaI structures, both county and municipal.
 If school districts are included, many states find themselves sad dled with five and six thousand governmental units apart from cities, counties, or townships. Ev- cry such unit has it's officials and employees, some method for rais- ing revenue, and a program for expending 1t. The resulting com plexities of structure and respon- sibility dake understanding local government impossible for most citizens, to say nothing of exer- cising some measure of control over it.
 Consequently, self-government and the democratic process have been seriously undermined in many communities at the local government level The problem is by no means limited to the urban and more populous states. North Dakota has nearly 4,O00 local gov ernment units; Minnesota has over 5000.
 The Problem Facing Alaska
 The question of whether Alaska should have counties is in itself rather meaningless. The county, as such, is> merely a device through which a few services have traditionally been performed in most states. Examination will show that almost every one of the so-called county functions is ac- tually performed by some other governmental unit in one state or another. In New Jersey the judi cial function is performed by a unified state court, and varieties on this practice are developing or advocated in a number of other states. In most states education is partially in the hands of city or independent school districts. In Virginia and North Carolina all roads and highways are construct ed and maintained by a state highway department, and city streets are the responsibility of

On Farm Issue
BY the Associated Press

Two top administration Of
ficials turned their verbal guns
on Adlai E. Stevenson yesterday
in the argument over the farm
question.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son said the problem of piled-up
farm SURPRISES and declining
farm prices began with the Dem
ocrats, labor had nothing to do
with it, and Mr.. Stevenson well
knows it.
Harold E. Stassen, President
Eisenhower's Special Assistant on
Disarmament, said he expects
Mr.. Stevenson will have to" de-
bate him on farm issues before
the 1856 election campaign is
over.
Mr.. Benson issued his state
ment through the Republican
National Committee in reply to
Ia Stevenson speech before the
AFL-CIO convention in New York
last Thursday.
Refusal to Face Facts
Mr.. Stevenson, a candidate for
the 1856 Democratic presidential
nomination, spoke then of what
appears to be a design" of ugly
politics"
Actually, declared Mr.. Benson,
the farm problem grew out of
the Democrat (sic) administra-
Ition's refusal to face facts.
Labor had nothing to do with
the origin of the farmers trou-
bleS, as Mr.. Stevenson well
knows"
The G. o. P. farm chief said
past Democratic programs en-
couraged farmers to overproduce
and "as a result of these pro-
grams, farm prices today are out
of line with profits and wages.
l said just that before the farm
equipment institute in New Or
leans on September 20, 1856"
! Mr.. SasSen had issued a chal-
lenge to Mr.. Stevenson last No
vember % to debate. Mr.. Steven
son turned him down.
Cites Debate Backing
In a Nv interview on ABC's
calls a press conference yester-
day Mr.. StaSsen said Mr.. Steven
son still will have to" debate
him on the farm question. Mr..
