Mosquito Control
Studies
“Alaska’s Health”
Harold Mayo, Sanitarian, has
been working with personnel of
the U. S. Health Service on low
cost methods of mosquito control
which can be used by individuals
or communities.
The large scale army-type oper
ations in pest killing are not prac
tical because of their high cost for
pest killing in civilian areas.
The first experiment in South
eastern Alaska took place last
month at Taku Lodge, a resort lo
cated near Juneau. Similar experi
ments are being carried on at An
chorage and Fairbanks to find the
best means of control in the three
different geographic regions which
post different problems.

Vast Drug Ring
Uncovered
NEW YORK, (/P)—A vast illic
it drug rung—so powerful that it
sparked an abortive revolution in
Peru and involved United Nations
action—was exposed here Friday ,
with the arrest of the alleged ring-j
leader.
Authorities called the arrest the
first high point in an internation
al crack-down on a huge smug
gling syndicate which has plied a
$500,000-a-month cocaine traffic
between the U. S. and Peru.
American, Peruvian and U. N.
authorities joined in a two-year
drive to smash the ring, said to
have used narcotics profits to arm .
insurgents in Peru in an attempt !
to seize control of the country.
The story of political intrigue
and plotting, tied in with large
scale drug traffic, was unfolded
with the seizure Friday of the al
leged ringleader, Eduardo Balar
ezo,- 48, of Great North River;
Long Island. . . .
He is a naturalized U. S. citizen
of Peruvian descenti
More tharv 80 persons, some of
them prominent business meft, ;
have been arrested in Peru, au
thorities said, and 50 or 60 opera- i
tives in this country are believed
connected with the ring.
Assistant U. S. attorney. Joseph
P. Martin said the syndicate ap
parently tried recently to expand
operations to Italy through efforts
to contact Charles <Lucky» Luci
ano, exiled one-time vice king.
Balarezo was arrested aboard
the liner La Guardia, which runs
between New York and Italian
ports. He was held in $100,000 bail
by U. S. Commissioner Edward
McDonald on a charge of conspir
acy to smuggle cocaine from Peru, j

Music,” "Sing It Again,” and

volve telephone calls to listeners
who are required to give the cor
rect answer to a question, clues to
which have been given on the
program.
The FCC said it would regard as j
a radio lottery a program involv- ,
ing prizes “dependent in whole or
in part upon lot or chance,” re
quiring the contestant to contrib
ute something of value, or requir
' ing that he be listening to or view
ing the program.
A spokesman for the Mutual
Broadcasting System said the
rules did not appear to affect the
network’s big giveaway “Queen
for a Day” or other prize shows in
which prizes go only to persons
present at the broadcast.
The National Broadcasting Co.
and the Columbia Broadcasting
System withheld comment while
top officials scrutinized the new
rules to determine whether to
fight them, or what could be done
to save affected shows if the rules
stick.
Giveaways have been on the up
: grade since the "Mr. Hush,” "Mrs.
Hush” and "Miss Hush” contests
j on Ralph Edwards’ “Truth or
Consequences” on NBC starting in
late 1945. They have been gaining
rapid headway in television.
CBS claims the largest jackpot
on record was the $52,000 won by
Rush Clarke, Rochester, N. Y.,

Union Orders
Strike Called < Iff
HELSINKI, Finland, l/P>—Fin
land’s central trade union federa
tion has acted against the com
munist-led unions’ growing offen
sive. It ordered them to cancel
their strike call or face expulsion.
The move which threatened to
split the federation wide open,
came on the heels of a govern
ment crackdown on the nation
wide strike offensive which al
ready has caused bloodshed.
By a vote of eight to five, the
federations’ executive committee
decided to order four striking un
ions to call off their \v~alkouts be
fore Aug. 23 or get out of the fed
eration.
The move was directed against
the dockers; food workers, build
ing construction workers, and the
forestry workers’ and loggers’ un
ion.
The federation made it clear
that the textile, leather, shoe and
rubber workers union, who also
have scheduled strikes, would be
kicked out if the strike calls are
not cancelled.

She was hustled home—some
distance from the scene of her
traffic conquest.
Oh, yts, her age—five years old.
Her mother said she’s done it
many times before.
