Sen. William Proxmire, made public, August 17, a letter in which he asked VA Administrator Donald E. Johnson for more details on the audit, and on corrective steps being taken. Rep. Richard Fulton, asked Johnson to widen the investigation to determine whether telephone bugging is being practiced at other VA hospitals across the nation. The general escalation of incidents of this type, particularly at the federal level of government, is alarming, Fulton said. Proxmire summed up the audit report on the bugging as "improper and illegal recording of telephone conversations by the hospital's s.. director and assistant director without the knowledge of parties engaged in conversation. Proxmire said the recorded conversations involved central office program officials, Vanderbilt University staff, members of medical societies and officials of veterans organizations. The draft audit report indicates that these problems are recognized in large party by hospital management," Proxmire said. However, I would like to receive a report in some detail as to whn steps have been taken to correct these deficiencies." Proxmire wrote Johnson. Proxmire is a member of a Senate subcommittee which handles VA appropriations. Fulton, a member of the House ways and means committee, said he would ask the House veterans committee to investigate the bugging.

COMPOUNDING RATES MAKES A DIFFERENCE NEW YORK Todays column answers reader questions of general interest Bank savings account depositors appear to be confused by advertisements that state interest paid as 5 per cent but also give a figure of 5.25 per cent a year. Its when the bank compounds the 5 per cent interest each day that the actual interest earned by a depositor comes to a 5.25 per cent annual rate. Compounding the rate makes the difference. Compounding is a term used by banks to refer to how they compute and when they credit interest depositors have earned. The more frequently interest is compounded and credited to the account, the more money is earned. A $1,000 on deposit a full year in a savings account which pays 5 per cent would earn the following amounts if the interest is compounded: annually $50, quarterly $50.94; daily $51.26; and, continuously $51.27. Be sure to inquire from the bank how frequently the earned interest is compounded. Sometimes interest is forfeited if money from the account is withdrawn before a specified period of time, or before the end of a calendar quarter. As for which is the best type of savings account, the regular passbook account usually offers the greatest flexibility a good place to keep money when the depositor needs immediate access to it. A dip of a half point in the industrial operating rate doesnt repeat doesnt mean activity has started a downturn. Note that operating rate doesnt mean production rate.
