WILL EXTEND FACILITIES
AT FORT LEWIS
SEATTLE, (/P) — Plans ito ex
pand facilities at Fort Lewis to
accomodate 70,000 troops were to
be outlined here yesterday at a
meeting of the Puget Sound area
armed forces advisory committee
and the Seattle advisory commit
tee.
The proposal does not envisage
any increase in the acreage of the
military reservation south of Ta
coma, it will however, grow up
wards.
Plans are understood to involve j
an increase in the overhead' “dan
ger air space”—that area over a
military reservation from which
airplanes are barred because of
high-flying projectiles.
Currently airplanes are banned
from flying under 5,000 feet.

Cancer Yearly
Causes Many i
Deaths In Alaska
Cancer causes 55 deaths annu- i
ally in Alaska err approximately
one death in every 25. The Alaska
Department of Health spends ap
proximately $8,000.00 annually in
combined Territorial and Federal
funds on the official cancer con
trol program. These figures were
released yesterday by Dr. Jack C.
Haldeman, deputy regional direc
tor for Alaska, by John W. Gray,
acting regional director of the
Federal Security Agency for the
States of Washington, Oregon,
California, Nevada and Arizona,
and the Territories of Alaska and
Hawaii with headquarters in San
Francisco. He said the figures are
taken from a new report, “Cancer
Services and Facilities in the
United States,” which has just
been released by the public health |
service of the federal security
agency.
There are no cancer detection
centers or cancer clinics in Alas
ka. There are approximately 70
physicians, 24 general hospitals
which meet the requirements for
registration by the American Med
ical Association, and 1,046 gener
al hospital beds.
The Alaska Department o*f
Health provides tissue diagnostic
services without charge to all per
sons requesting it. A limited

amount of home nursing service
for cancer patients is provided by
the Public Health Nursing Service
of the Department.

Taft Asks Harry
To Give Country
‘More Information’
WASHINGTON, {IF) — Senator
Taft (R.-Ohio) called on President
Truman yesterday to give the
country “more information”
about the grave international sit
uation.
Taft proposed that the Presi
dent report directly to the people
after he concludes current talks
with Prime Minister Attlee of
Great Britain.
The Ohio Senator’s suggestion
came after an hour-long meeting
of the Senate Republican policy
committee, which he heads. The
committee discussed the develop
ments in Korea and their rela
tions to world affairs generally.
Complaining, as he has before,
that Republicans had not been
asked for their advice, Taft told
a new conference: “I want to
make it clear that Republican
leaders in Congress are not being
consulted before decisions are
made.”
A Democratic Senator, Hoey of
North Carolina, came up yester
day with a demand that Ameri
can troops be withdrawn from
Korea.
Hoey said in a statement that
“the supreme consideration now
is to get our soldiers out of Ko- K
rea and prevent a general slaugh
ter.”
“We have tried bluffing in Ko
rea and it did not work and it
probably will not work by the
precipitate use of the atomic
bomb,” Hoey declared.
