That he has tried to be fair in presenting political issues is indi- | cated by his method of following. a long harangue by Mr. Gruening against fish traps and absentee owners with a mention that many of the canneries were purchased | from former Alaskan owners. | Regarding fish traps, we find on'} Page 333 that the governor says: | “I believe it proper that more Al- askans own fish traps.

Coast Guard offices, will be in Juneau for six weeks installing a new accounting system to replace the antiquated system used for the past 100 years, The new system is | the result of the recommendations of the Hoover Commission. “The Coast Guard has been | chosen as a ‘‘guinea pig” to see how | it works out before putting the Sys- | tion,” Mr. Johnson said. “The sys- | tem is based on commerclal ac- counting systems and is aimed to eliminate much detail and duplica- tion, to speed up auditing, decen- tralize operations and to install a system of checks and controls. The Washington headquarters office is now five or six years behind in auditing.” | TURIEL NEIL IS NEW RED CROSS OFFICIAL Zuriel Neil has been appointed general field representative for the Red Cross chapters in Southeast Alaska, and assistant field director for veterans services, He will re- place Wally Read who has been promoted to a new assignment with the civilian defense program in five western states.
