Attempt Raise Red Flag
At U of A Commencement
“Purely Student Prank”
FAIRBANKS, (#>)—'The attempt
by two University of Alaska stu
dents to lower the American flag
and raise a red flag at recent
commencement exercises was
“purely a student prank,” Dr.
Terris Moore said Friday.
Dr. Moore, University president,
said the students — one of whom
has since been expelled — “were
not conscious of the political sig
nificance which would be attached
to their actions.”
Dr. Moore said he had received
inquiries from the Department of
Interior, from the Alaska Dele
gate to Congress, and other parties
concerning the incident.
“The expulsion order still
stands,” Dr. Moore said, ‘‘be
cause although we are completely
satisfied that the attempt to
change flags during the com
mencement exercises was a stu
dent prank, and in no way moti
vated by subversive intentions,
nevertheless we believe that the
facilities of this university should
be made available only to those
students who are sufficiently re
sponsible to make good use of
them.”
Sgl. Ken O'Donnell, popular
AFRS announcer last winter,
writes from Denver, Colorado,
that he has had the good luck
of being assigned to Lowery Field
which is only a mile from his
home, and is enjoying the beauty
of the spring in that part of the
country. He sends greetings to
his many friends here.

Food Handlers
No Longer Require
Annual Exams
JUNEAU—A bill passed by the
Territorial Senate in March 1951
becomes effective June 20 and re
peals a section of the Alaska
Health Code requiring annual
physical examinations of food
handlers, Dr. C. Earl Albrecht,
commissioner of health, said re
cently.
Routine annual physical exam
inations for food handlers have
been discontinued in most of the
states, he explained, “because
actually they give a false sense of
security from disease. The fact is
that a communicable disease
could be contracted, and spread,
by the applicant immediately after
a successful physical examination
—yet he had just been issued a
health certificate which was valid
for one year.”
Alaska now has “strong and ef
fective laws ond regulations for
the control of communicable dis
ease for the protection of health
of both the food handlers and the
public they serve,” Dr. Albrecht
said, “and therefore ^repeal of the
old law was recommended by the
Board of Health.”
He said that “understanding
and practice of disease preven
tion by food handlers, manage
ment and the public are more pro
ductive of good health than laws
and regulations.**
MINERAL PRICES
According to the June 14 th
E & MJ Market Reports, the RFC
has lowered the price of tin to
$1.23 per pound. This depressed
price is directed mainly against
the Singapore market, but will
-affect all tin producing areas. The
domestic price for copper contin
ued at 244*> cents, for lead the
ceiling remains at 17 cents while
zinc continued at 17V£ cents.
Antimony ore remained firm
with grades of 50 percent, starting
at $5.75 per unit, while the price
of tungsten ore per unit remained
at a ceiling of $65. From the price
for tungsten, the industry expects
a general increase in production
for new mines being started and
old mines increasing their rate.

I Jap, Finally Convinced
jWar Is Over, Surrenders
AGANA, Guam, (/P)—Convinced
after nearly six years that the
Pacific war is over, a Japanese
petty officer has come out of his
hideout on remote Anstahan Is
land.
But 18 other Japanese sailors
and soldiers, with a single ma
chinegun, remain on the island 61
miles north of Saipan.
Navy headquarters here said
jJunji Inoue, 43, an engineer in
! the Imperial Navy, was taken off
Anatahan a week ago. More than
200 letters from wives, mothers
and relatives of the remaining
Japanese were left there, urging
the men to believe war with the
! U. S. had ended and to return
home.
Inoue received such letters a
year -ago and had been waiting to
be picked up since. Now at Saipan
for rest and medical observation,
he soon will be flown to Guam
and then returned to his family
at Hinji-Shi, a small farming vil
lage near Kobe.
Inoue said he *and the 18 others
were the only survivors of 33
marooned on Anatahan June 12,
%
1944, when American dive bomb
ers sank three 30-ton cargo ships
in the island’s harbor.
DANGER: BEDOUINS AT WORK
TRIPOLI, Libya, -(/P) — Desert
bedouins recently stumbled across
a half-submerged shell on a World
War II bottlegrount near herje and
went to work trying to extract the
cordite from it.
They dug a hole in the ground,
stood the shell upright and lit a
fire around it. Suddenly the shell
went “whoosh” and took off. Au
thorities who investigated the fall
of a missile in a village more than
a mile away said the shell was a
German 15-centimeter rocket. No
casualties.
