the welfare of the worker. They
also misrepresented the amount
of profits, until many people think
industrialists make ten times the
profit actually made.
We can see quickly the ab
surdity of attacks on Secretary of
State Marshall. But perhaps we
have been slower to -see the lies
and misrepresentations used right
here in our country against our
own people. Our industrialists
have worked unceasingly, along
with labor to help raise our stand
ard of living. Only in America
do the rank and file enjoy cars
radios, telephones, refrigerators
and hundreds of other luxuries.
Let’s keep our thinking straight
despite Communist tactics.

Alaskans To Be
Vaccinated For
Tuberculosis
(Continued from Page One)
the department said.
The Alaska native service, Ter
ritorial Health Department of Al
aska, and the U.S. Public Health
Service are expected to arrange
to continue vaccination of natives
and develop a program to cover;
the entire Alaskan population.
The indian-bureau has been ex
perimenting since k 1935 with the
vaccine, named, B-6 — Bacillus
Calmelte-Guerin — for the two
French physicians who developed
it.
The indian office pronounced
the results so satisfactory as to
warrant the vaccine’s use on a
larger scale.
Krug said Aronson will begin
routine vaccination of all child
ren born in indian service hos
pitals when he returns to the
states. The American indian vac
cination program will also include
! those on reservations who are

JOHN BARLEYCORN THREAT
ENS ALASKA MORE THAN
AN ENEMY
WASHINGTON, — (UP) —To
1 hear the authorities tell it, John
Barleycorn is almost as much of
a threat to Alaska as some poten
tial enemy of the United States.
Witnesses before a house ap
propriations subcommittee testi
fied that whiskey is being sold
to Eskimos in the territory, that
it is bad for them, and that Es
kimos are this country's eyes and
ears in the northern outpost. The
testimony, heard in closed ses
sion, was released by the com
mittee recently (May 26).
Dr. Arthur Bernstein, Chicago,
member of an American Medical
association committee which visi
ted Alaska in late 1947, told this
to the subcommittee:
“Alchoholism is a big problem
in Alaska, so we were told, and so
we saw. Think we counted 17
bars in Nome, and it has been
stated that Anchorage is probably
the biggest saloon in Alaska, be
cause the whole main street of
Anchorage is bar number so and
so, and so forth, but that does
not necessarily prove anything.”
Don C. Foster, general super
intendent of the interior depart
ment’s Alaska native service, said
it has been difficult to enforce
territorial liquor laws, especially
in far northern villages. Traders
are able to get liquor licenses, he
said, by presenting petitiions
signed by the names of natives
who are indebted to them.
"There are a number of con
gregaiion point* where the na
tives come to at the close of the
canning season in the Bristol bay
area," he said.
“Where liquor is sold, the na
tive seldom ever leaves that point
with any money to pay his last
year’s account at the trader’s in
his local or home village.”

stitution, and a consideration of
revisions in German state bound
aries.
The Ruhr would be under in
ternational control, as the French
insisted. It would not be separated
from Germany. Its coal, coke and
steel, however, would be allocated
by the international control board.
The western powers said there
could be no general withdrawal
of occupation forces until the peace
of Europe is secured. The U.S.,
British and French military gov
ernors are to create a military
security board to assure contin
ued disarmament and demilitar
isation of Germany.
WASHINGTON
The U. S. Senate talked of com
promises over the issue of re

from the U.S. Foreign Recovery

under six billions. The Senate
