THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
All Over

The Legislature ground 70 s'op h st night At any rate, the pres cribed 6O-day session had explreu and pay of the members ceased at midnight. Whether they stopped the cocks to extend the 60th day and kent on working we have no way of knowing until report comes from Jim Hutchsson. that sterling AS sociated Press reporter who, TOT good many years now, has been doing such and excellent job Of covering the Alaskn Legislature. II Jim can't get 'em adjourned we don't know who can.
 At last report they were wrang- ling over an appropriation bill call ing for an expenditure in the next two years for support of Territor- ial government of around 30 mil lion dollars. The reported figure was $29,9O1. 900. but whats a hun dred thousand dollars or so to q fres-spending ways and means com mittee that probably won't be back in the Legislature two years from now. After they pay their taxes they won't have money enough to run for office. To which great nnny taxpayers will doubtless say, thank God"
 Meanwhile. it is obvious the tax payer is to get no respite in the next two years. He'll pay little more here. little more there to support the deluxe form of gov ernment to which a majority of the Legislature has decided we must get accustomed It will make for quite a politically potent year in 1nl6

When previous legislature threatened to adjourn without passing an appropriation bill, as this one actually has done, a legal decision was reached that regular ly established departments of gov ernment could continue to operate on scale of salaries and for act ual functional operations on the basis fixed in the previous appro- priations bill by drawing on the general fund. No monies could be drawn from special funds. it was held at the time Tint Legislature, however. didn't quit. It passed an concentrations hill

Unicameral

Some years ago, in the early days of the New Deal, there was a proposal in the Legislature to get the Organic Act changed to pro vide for a unicameral Legislature. that is legislative body of but one IIous. Time proves it is for tunate the idea didn't get off the ground If 1t had not been for the Senate in the session now termin- ated business would have gone out of business In the Territory Of All askn.
 Only the sounder minded mem bers of the Senate saved the Terri tory from what might well have been financial disoster by blocking the luxury tax and killing q lot of other measures. arising in an ir- responsible House. which would have brought nothing but chaos to the Alaska scene. Among them were Senators Nolan and Barnes of Wrangell. who again demonstrated their ability to cope with Alaska problems in a mature and common sense way

Out of the Legislature came pol itics galore. Outstanding example Is the uction this week of filing disbarment proceedings again Rep. Warren Taylor of Fairbanks for his remarks in the House about Federal Judges Folta and McCarry in connection witha proposed piece of legislation involving the courts
 While Rep. Taylor's remarks would hardly be called praise worthy and probably were i'll. advised. the disbarment action now filed in the Fourth Division has all the earmarks of a retaliatory pol itical move. indicating all the i'm maturity was not in the House oi Representatives.

Noise in the Sky

Residents OF Northwest Washington
are awaiting hopefully the promised
abatement Of nerve-shattering noises
that lombard them intermittently from
overhead. The roar Of commercial air.
! liners at full throttle after take-offs from
the National Airport is going to be shifted
southward to the Potomac River, accord
Ing to Brigadier General Milton w. Ar
mold, USAF, retired, vice president Of the
Air Transport Association. While North
west washington rejoices, however, what
about the residents along both shores
Of the river?
II AS matter Of fact residents Of North
Arlington long have complained Of the
.deafening thunder Of climbing aircraft
en- route from the airport to the North
and West. And homeowners In other sec
tions no doubt have considered them-
selves the chief victims Of the noisy
planes. All Of which suggests that the
pilots do not conform to any fixed flight
pattern In ascending over the city. Some
seem to like to "pour on the coap' over
Georgetown and points beyond, while
others prefer the Virginia side OF the
river.
Perhaps General Arnold's plan for
restricting the airliners to flight path
along the line Of the river Is the best
compromise. But even this middle course
Is not apt to end the din for some resi-
dents The only real solution would be
to devise some way to mufie the engine
and propeller noises. Research In this
field already is under way and some prog
ress has been made. But there Is yet
plenty of room for improvement. IS
aarassed citizens on both sides Of the
Potomac can testify.

A writer to The Star stated
that the United Nations ''costs

one cent . week for. every man,
woman and child in this coun-
try"
The writer overlooked or
ignored some expenses properly
chargeable to the United Ma
tions, some Of which cannot be
expressed in dollars. The cost
of the Korean War, q United
Nations scheme. is included in
the national debt. which our
children and our childrenis
children viii pay. both prin-
cipal and interest. This is to
say nothing Of the casualties
suffered BY our men in that
war. No amount Of dollars can
compensate for the agony
undergone by the participants
in the war or for the suffering
Of the families and friends Of
the slain, wounded and pris-
olers.
The writer overlooked or
ignored the fact that the
United Nations Is O menace to
our freedom. A comparison Of
the Constitution of the United
States with the United Nations
Charter would have demon
strated this danger.
