HEALTH FILMS REACH
MANY PEOPLE
During October there were for-1
ty-two film programs reaching i
3300 people with h’ealth informa-1
tion, it was announced by the j
Territorial Department of Health.
This figure does not include the!
film showings on tuberculosis in (
connection with the mass chest
x-ray, nor does it include the film
showings aboard the M/S Hygiene
the department’s marine unit. Re
ports on these have not yet been
received at the Central Office of
the Health Department.
The heaviest concentration of
health film programs was in the
communities of Southeastern Alas
ka, with Ketchikan holding first
place. Sanitation films were the
most in demand, with nutrition
and dental health films next in
line.
Advance bookings indicate that
the film program for November
will be approximately twice that
of October.

Pan American Flies Twice
As Much Airmail In Octo
ber As Any Previous Month
Reflecting the increased use of
the new five-cent air mail inau
gurated October 1, twice as much
air mail was flown by Pan Ameri
can Clipper between Seattle and
Alaska during October than in the
previous month, E. H. Herold,
PAA express and mail .superin
tendent, said today.
Air express carried in and out
of Alaska by Clipper was two and
one-half times the volume handled
in October of last year, Herold
added. Clothing, medical supplies,
critical machinery parts, and food
made up the bulk of northbound
shipments.
Twice as many persons traveled
by Clipper to Alaska last month,
as compared with a year ago in
October, while southbound traffic
was slightly less than last year.
Last year’s southbound traffic was
stimulated by military personnel
coming “out” following the war’s
end.
Business men, contractors hunt
ing parties and families returning
after visits in the tSates comprised
the bulk of traffic to Alaska.

Forecast New
Rent Formula
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A predic
tion that Congress will write a
formula controlling rents, with
provis;on for increases “where in
equities exist,” came today from
Rep. Wolcott <R.-Mich>.
He also forecast that the new
GOP-dominated Congress will
continue government rent controls
—at least until July 1.
Wolcott is to become chairman
of the House banking committee
which handles price and rent con
trol legislation.
His statement to reporters came
shortly after OPA was represented
by a high official as “strongly op
posed” to a general increase in
rent ceilings but favoring decon
trol of transient hotel rents. This
official said any flat percentage
rise in rents will have to come
from Congress, if at all.
Wolcott is whipping into shape
"Ians for a quick investigation cf
the housing program for veterans,
which he has described as “out
rageously bad.”

Studies Of Arctic
Mav Be Made
J
WASHINGTON, ^ — Govern
ment officials said today that pro
jected international studies of the
arctic regions can get underway
next summer if other nations
agree.
The program calls for establish
ing weather stations throughout
the artcic, possibly covering more
than 2,000,000 square miles. Stud
ies of the tides and ocean currents
also are proposed.
Charles J. Hubbard, the U. S.
Weather Bureau’s arctic expert,
said the United States plans no
monopoly on information that it
gathers and scientists who par
ticipate will be free to publish
their findings.
He explained that the whole
program hinges on international
agreements because many nations
claim interests in the arctic and
sub-arctic regions, with Canada
the principal one. Thus the ques
tion of hemisphere defense is in
volved.
The Danes already are coopera
