2 Tht Daily Banner, Graaneastle, Indiana Wadnasday, March 3,1965 Editorial-Wise A License To Steal (From Indianapolis Star) By yanking the teeth out of Indiana's official watchdog over governmental finances, the General Assembly would be creating a license to steal. The House has passed, by a vote of 86-0, this bill aimed at delaying indefinitely public disclosure of major misconduct by a public official investigated by the State Board of Accounts. The board has saved Indiana taxpayers millions of dollars by putting the spotlight on lightfingered public offi-

cials.

The board is stern and incorruptible. It is not vengeful. It often halts pilferers with a figurative slap on the wrist by letting them know they are “behind in their accounts.” At the same time, it makes certain payments thta will be made by letting the public know the errant officials are “mixed up in their figures." In clearcut cases of thievery’, it sets up the culprits for prosecution. The board has caught penny stealers and greedy functionaries who have cleaned out public funds with the wholesale gluttony of bank robbers. The sole function of the Board of Accounts is to safeguard public funds and to catch “mistake makers” and just plain crooks who think public funds are their private boodle. There is no honest reason for altering the board's operation. It works well. It does a first-rate job. The foggy hint of the bill's authors that the Senate might "fix it up" with patchwork amendments before passing it merely underlines the fact that it is an unsound, bad

piece of legislation.

Covering up private criminality by public officials cannot be justified by any stretch of logic. It is indefensible. That is exactly what H.B. 1594 is meant to do.

Committee OK's School Aid Bill WASHINGTON UP1 — The House Education and Labor Committee Tuesday approved President Johnson’s $1.3 billion school aid bill. The sometimes balky committee endorsed the legislation by a onesided vote, 23-8. The bill now goes to the House Rules Committee, where it may face rougher going. Chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D- N. Y., not only was able to get all 21 Democrats of his education committee in line on the final vote, but also recruited the support of two Republicans. The committee added $100 million to the administration measure but the wording was substantially the same as Johnson proposed. Left intact were text book and shared — time provisions which had provoked some controversy over church— state seperation. The bill is expected to gain House approval, but is likely to be subject to lengthy hearigs first by the rules commit- | tee. Rep. Carl Perkins, D-Ky., w h o helped guide the bill through the committee, called it the “best approach possible” to school aid. The ranking Republican member of the group, ReP. William H. Ayres, Ohio, i insisted that it was “pork at its worst."
