ONAL REPRE! SENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Seattle, Wash. NATI A AHA ATTENTION With the Alaska Hougsing group meeting in Ju- neau, making plans to put in action the $10,000,000 revolving fund when it becomes available, the members might take a slant at what Juneau is doing in the way of home building Out in the Highlands, at dences are being built and on lc money. last accounts, 20 resi- money or borrowed Anyway the houses are going up edily with basements dug, concrete for foundations poured and carpenters working with hammers and saws. It is a great sight and one all should see to get an idea of just what may that happen when Juneau gets a slice of ten million dollar revolving fund VAUGHAN ON DEFENSE Steadily the questions pelt Harry Vaughan, military aide to the Pr not once have the questions br their answ against Maj. Gen. ident. And established anything like a major crime against the general. Yet there have been some interestingly significant state- ments from Harry the Clown. It was true, he admitted, that he had stepped in to expedite—good Washington word, expedite—a trip to Europe for a representative of a perfume company. But that was routine, Vaughan said, and had nothing of the extraordinary about it. It was also true that he accepted a gift of seven home freezers frem an official of the perfume com- pany. Nothing about that, said Vaughan; people always giving {free: to their friends. It was also true that he had intervened to try io get some scarce building materials for a California strange g0 Zers around er The Washington Merry-Go-Round (ot et By DREW PEARSON i nitnued from Page 1} Army by James F i Dillon, Read and WEDDING Koshi-Mata sitting next to you m! the U.

Nothing strange about that either; it was just a good-neighborly act. Suppose materials were short for veterans’ housing? Suppose Vaughan had | been appointed to a Federal post where he w. pected to be solicitous of the veterans’ interests? was still run-of-the-mill stuff to try diverting scarce material to a vitally éssential track for thorough- | breds. Vaughan's reward for these strictly in-the-course- | of-duty acts? Nothing at all, says Vaughan. It just so happens, though, that some $5,000 was paid into Democratic campaign funds by worthy souls that Vaughan aided. Perhaps—even probably—Vaughan aid noi profit I by his efforts to show what a White House big shot At not to have profited financially. But Vaughan by his bland admissions | has built a tremendous case against himself. At worst he was guilty of peddling his influence for strictly personal motives. At best he was guilty of an in- credible naivete, lending his name and his friend- ships to every will-of-the-wisp cause persuasively stated. One way or the other Vaughan has abundantly documented the proof of his unfitness for the high office he holds. President Truman will be smart if he Ehhl:d.s Vaughan as quickly as possible. he was. least he seems Polio Panic ‘(Washington Post) A bit of advice issued the other day by Dr. Ken- neth S. Landauer, medical care director of the Na- tional Foundation Infantile Paraly falls into and don't-get-panick Parents, he urged, should not try to flee in an area of high incidence. At honie {they have better centrol of the contacts their children "make, the food they eat, and the regularity and |' dequacy of the rest they get. trary, means food prepared by others, tiring and ir- regular hours, with the twin dangers of chilling and overfatigue, and perhans remoteness from quick medi- attention. And if polio does strike? Tt is, of course, a fearful But panic won't helo cure it. Prompt medi- teal advice, carefully followed, is the best safeguard against death or permanent crippling. It is not a iguarantee. The expected mortality rate is 5 to per cent ccording to the Ames n Medical Associa- tion's Nation-wide averages. Severe crippling will { come from 15 ver cent of the cases, mild involvemen® Vfrom another 25 per cent. Half of all those stricken ‘can be expected to recover fully and without any aftereffects This, of cow for cal |flis e is cold statistical consolation in any particular case. The anguish in a stricken family is not to be assuaged by recital of the mathe- matical chances. Ngr is there comfort in the national total of cases so far this year, which number almost twice as many as last vear at this date. And 1948 ended with 27,680 cases altogether, not far below the 130,000 record year of 1916. The District and surround- ing area have not suffered more this year than last. Let us hope to be spared through the rest of the year too, and let us continue te fight against polio until it is won. After all, Russia is a wonderful country—for the | Russians to remain in.
