NUTRITION CONSULTANTS
HERE ON SURVEY
Christine Heller, nutrition con
sultant for the Territorial health
department is here with a nutri
tion team composed of Dr. Shuker,
medical nutritionist and Dr. John
Totter, bio-chemist, who are both
from the School of Medicine of the
University of Arkansas. They are
in this part of the Territory on a
special nutition survey to try and
find out what part nutrition plays
in the prevalent eye condition of
the native population. They have
been at Unalakleet and plan to go
to White Mountain and Kotzebue.
Miss Heller states that it will be
some time before a report of the
survey will be ready, but they
have found out one very interest
ing fact concerning native food,
and that is that salmon berries are
rich in vitamin C which is so
necessary in the diet.
Funds for the trip were provid
ed by the U. S. Public Health
Service.

Freak Railroad
Wreck Kills Four
HUNTINGDON, Pa. bP) — Steel
plates protruding from a moving
freight train early yesterday rip
ped a hole in t le side if the Penn
sylvania Railroad’s flyer, The
American, and wrecked another
freight, killing four per os ns and
injuring 40.
The freak crash occu re 1 five
miles west of here as two 16-foot
long sheets of steel, lengthwise on
an. open gondola of a westbound
freight, shifted suddenly so that
their ends stuck out over tracks*on
both sides.
Into one of these obstructions
plunged the New York to St. Louis
sleeper-coach passenger train, also
westbound on the parallel tracks.
Moments later a freight moving
east smashed into the steel pro
truding on the other side, sending
the engine and tender crashing
from the tracks and temporarily
tying up all four main tracks of the
T’ennsylvania Railroad.

Japanese Gel Their
Flag Back
j TOKYO (A3)—The Japanese peo
‘ pie got their national flag back to
day on the eve of inauguration of
the country’s new constitution.
General MacArthur restored the
Rising Sun banner with a strict
proviso on where it could be flown
without restriction—the Emperor’s
palace, the national diet and su
preme court building and the
■ prime minister’s residence.
“Let this flay fly,” MacArthur
wrote Premire Shigeu Yoshida,
“to signify the advent in Japanese
lives of a new and enduring era of
peace based upon personal liberty,
i;i 'ividual dignity, tolerance and
justice.”
Until now, MacArthur has per
mitted display of Japan’s flag only
on certain holidays. He has ap
proved display of the banner in
ceremonies tomorrow ushering in
Japan’s post-war constitution.
NANKING, (/P)—Chinese press
’ dispatches said today Chinese
Communists had infiltrated to
within 20 miles of Taiyuan, smash
ing communications and attacking
defense posts around that Shansi
province capital of warlord gov
ernor Yen Hsi-Shan.
The government’s Central News
Agency reported, meanwhile, that
capture of Suiteh, last remaining
Red stronghold in northern Shensi
was expected momentarily. The
city of 100,000 was described as
under Nationalist siege.
