Liquor Destroying
Native Health
And Welfare
JUNEAU — The liquor situa
tion is one of the most difficult
problem to be solved by Alaska’s
natives, according to Bob Drux
man, Juneau public relations
counsel, who recently made on in
spection of the Territory for the
Alaska Native Service.
He said that excessive use 01
intoxicating liquor is destroying
the health and economic welfare
of many natives, but he could not
offer any suggestion to immedi i
ately remedy the situation. Prohi-1
bition will not work, he said. Tiie
only solution appears to be an in
tense program of education
against the ill effects of liquor.
He said that some immediate
results might be achieved if un
scrupulous white persons would
cease bootlegging activities in!
areas where the natives have i
voted for a dry regime. This!
would help outi in some places, he 1
pointed out, but would still not
solve the overall problem for
which an education campaign is
greatly needed.

SEATTLE, (/P) — The federal
government has approved a for

Seattle, Sen. Magnuson <D.-Wash.>
said here Saturday night.
A foreign trade zone permits
loading and unloading of goods
here without payment of import
d u t i es, unless shipments are
moved from the port area into the
United States.
Magnuson also announced he in
tends to “get the army and navy
out of the commercial shipping
business.”
The Washington Democ rat,
chairman of the Senate merchant
marine committee, said the army
has 300 ships and the navy 54 in
competition with private ship-,
ping.
In a maritime day banquet ad- j
dress, Magnuson also criticized j
the transfer of American ships to,
Panamanian and Honduran regis- j
try.
“The American flag is disap
pearing from the seas,” he assert

The boom of a saluting gun
sounded when his body reached
the main gates and continued as
it was slowly conducted to the
cemetery’s amphitheater.
The salutes sounded, one a min

President Truman stood at the
head of the casket as the service
was read.
Mrs. Forrestal and her sons,
Michael and Peter, attended pri

among those in the amphitheater.
