Children’s Ward
Being Installed At
St. Ann’s Hospital
Beds and equipment were being
installed in St. Ann’s hospital in
Juneau for inauguration of the
Alaska Health Department’s pro
gram for diagnosis and treatment
of children’s chronic diseases, in
cluding rheumatic fever. The pro
gram is under the direction of Dr.
Virginia Cobb, pediatric consult
ant for the department.
Beds for seven are being instal
led and hospitalization is to begin
November 21 for patients in the
program which Health Department
authorities pointed out is on a
demonstration basis at its incep
tion.
The program offers observation,
complete diagnosis and long-time
care as a service to doctors of the
Territory for their child patients
who are suffering from a chronic
disease for which their parents
could not otherwise afford the
necessary lengthy treatment, it
was explained.
If diagnosis indicates that treat
ment and long-term care will im
prove the child’s condition, the
program provides that he may re
main hospitalized until benefitted
thereby.
Initiation of the program at this
time was made possible with the
interested aid and cooperation of
St. Ann’s hospital, Dr. Cobb said,
and the arrival of trained person
nel to carry on the work.
Miss Sarah Sinclair is to be
pediatric nurse for the unit.

Chin" Burned Up; |
Lewis Fails To
Attend Conference
WASHINGTON. i/P» — John L.
Lewis failed to show up yesterday
for a coal peace conference called
by the government. Instead, he j
sent a terse wire saying he would |
see the federal mediators on Mon- i
day.
It amounted to a sharp slap in
the face to Cyrus Ching, federal
mediation chief. It left him. too,
pretty much in the position of the
parson when the bride-to-be does i
not show up for the wedding.
Ching was there, fuming. The i
soft coal operators were there,
fuming. But no Lewis.
In fact, it was something of a
mystery where Lewis was. Aides
of the bushy-browed union leader
with the flair for the dramatic
said they did not know.
i Ching was plainly burned up.
I First, he fired a telegram to
'United Mine Workers headquar
ters acking Lewis for “clarifiea
I tion.” But he didn’t even know
1 whether Lewis would see it.
I Then Ching delivered a report
to the White Hones that Lewis
had coolly turned down a bid to a
peace conference.
I Ching called for his car and i
! sped to the White House himself
1 to make the report,
i While he was traveling there.
President Truman was holding his
regular Thursday news confer
ence.
The Lewis-Ching situation had
not come to light and the ques
tions to Mr. Truman did not deal
with it.
The President was asked what
migh be the administration’s next
move in the coal situation.
He wouldn’t say about that.
Nor would the President com
ment on Lewis’ order of Wednes
day sending the coal miners back
to work for three weeks.
Instead of a comment, the Pres
ident said of Lewis:
His picture is there on the front
page of the Washington Post. Take
a look at it.

Mr. Truman was asked if he
thought the steel settlom e n t s
would have been reached and the
coal strike called off — at least
temporarily — if the Taft-Hartley
Act had not been hanging over
the unions.
The President, who wants the
Taft-Hartley law repealed, said he
couldn’t say. He suggested that the
question be put up to management
and labor negotiators.

More Gold Found!
