Herter of Massachu- setts, who some Alaskans will remember from his trip to Alaska on shipping problems a year ago, has a revealing article in September’s Reader’s Digest—"Our Most Dangerous Lobby.” Herter points cut that the most powerful and potentially the most dangerous lobby of them all is bureaucracy, which, working with eds in resisting most at- our huge federal the taxpayers's funds suc tempts to reduce expenditures and to whittle the gov- ernment payroll down to a size approaching peacetime days Illustrating how it works, Herter tells of action taken by one department, threatened by an 18 per cent reduction in personnel, distributing mimeographed copies of a bulletin urging all workers of this depart- ment to bring pressure to bear on the Congressmen Of the more than 1,000 wartime swollen civilian burea the Federal government, Herter reveals only one voluntarily proposed a single measure of economy or offered to eliminate a single employee Despite the econcmy mandate from the people ex- pressed in the last elections, not a dozen of these 1,000 bureaus asked Congress for less money than the previous year, and all the rest asked for more money. The result 2 budget of four times what the Federal government spent during the lushest spending year of the New Deal. Americans are now spending more for government than they are for food, Herter states, and the national debt is twice the assessed valuation of all of the property in the United States. Says Herter: “Congress has the specific responsi- bility to put some limit to the expansion of bu- reaucracy and thereby curb the growth of Big Gov- us of As thus far revealed by the Senate committee inve gating wartime government contract awards of $18.- 000,000 for airplane cargo carrier chiefly of buttering-up public personages who might | prove useful, smearing all drawn into the press agent's vortex, and loud proclamations of noble motives on and | off the record. Unfortunately the committee has in- volved itself in what Grover Loening in his testimony called “an unusual preoccupation with publicity.” Senator Brewster's committee began it. Before public hearings had started the committee permitted some of its material to leak out through the news- papers. It was carefully selected to produce a sensation and to form the basis for prejudgment on charges the committee still had to prove. Most of it related to the ertainment of Elliott Roosevelt and other govern- ment agents by Howard Hughes' press department on olane trips and at parties enlivened by Hollywood “party girls” It was obviously a political signpost pointing to the White House and a revealing opening move. Mr. Hughes promptly fell into the error of an- swering through “open letter” charging Senator Brewster himself with soliciting free plane trips and full of dark hints of official skullduggery. The answer of Henry Kaiser, the other beneficiary to the contracts, was made recently to the committee itself. It was a characteristic robust counter-attack, asserting he had been both “framed up” and “brushed off,” defending his plan and denying he had “put the heat” on any- body to get his contracts, The committee and its witnesses are generating much heat, but to this peint no great amount of light The one fact clearly established is what everybody already know—that the giant wooden cargo planes, planned to offset wartime U-boat attacks, never got off the ground. The public wants the full facts elicited in something resembling a judicial atmosphere. If the program was impractical, it wants to know why it was ever started and why it failed. The public still w: to learn how and with what result the Government’s money was spent. Politically inspired insinuations, corridor gossip and unsupported accusation of misused influence will not reveal the truth. It is the truth the committee is supposed to be,seeking. Let is get down to the facts. The argument can come later. Speak Softly, Sergeant! (Washington Post) In “abolishing” profanity and hard-boiled tactics on the part of its noncoms, the Army is catering to the sensitivities of the recruits it hope sto attract Not only will the Ground Forces no longer condone abusive language, according to an announcement by General Devers, but they are going in for modernized leadership with a capital L. They to stimulate the cultural life of the rookies with such collegiate appurtenances as amateur theatricals. All this is part of the postwar military establishment in which uniforms acutally fit, food can be downed with- even plan out a grimace, and pay goes rurther than just cigar- ettes. What a change! And doubtless the anti-profanity approach will b2 effective, though the Army is going to have quite job in remodeling its veterans and the new order r occasion some caustic sotto voce remarks about Boy Scouts from old-timers hardened to a diet of invec- tive. There is no demonstrated correlation between commands emphasized by profanity and fighting ef- ficiency, we suppose, and probably noncoms could have been talking softly all these years had anyone bothered to analyze it N s, somethi will be lost in replacing the to and salty top-sergeant with. the new and mild-mannered =dition, no mattgr how p and effi- , these uses consist | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA wlt . .

As soon as the building can be renovated and placed in a suitable cendition for school use it will be operated as a part of the Juneau school system. | Due to the sudden and unexpected decision of the Office of Indian Af- fairs to close the native school it will not be possible to have the building equipped and in a suitable | condition for use by the opening of ‘.\chmvl on September 2. In the in- | | terval all students will be cared for in the regular Juneau school plant. A definite plan for the distribution of children will not be made until after the opening of school when actual enrollments can be determin- | ed stated by Superintendent of Schools E. C.
