DRINKS HOq CHOLERA
SERUM SAFELY
DES MOINES. Ia. (/Pi — Some
veterinarians think Carl J. Step
hens, Des Moines attorney should
stay away from hogs for a few
weeks.
Stephens drank from a bottle of
hog cholera serum yesterday be
fore a startled group of Iowa leg
islators to demonstrate it was not
harmful to human beings.
Stephens, representing the Iowa
farm bureau fedei*ation, sipped the
serum after another speaker at a
committee hearing declared:
“It could kill every hog in Iowa.
If broken on the floor it could
spread among a great many peo
ple.”
Stephens asserted after downing
the serum:
“I’ll be around tomorrow.”
The farm bureau is seeking pas
sage of a bill to permit its subsid
iaries to sell serum and other pro
ducts without supervision by
pharmacists.
Finns Ignore
Russians
HELSINKI, (/P) — The Finns
seem to have'found something to,
talk about besides the Russians. I
There was a time after the war1
when Russia and Russians ap- j
| peared to dominate, or at least, |
weigh down, almost every con- j
versation here.
Not so any more.
“Where,” asked a Finn, “shall
we have dinner?” Recalling his
last trip to a restaurant here more
| than two years ago, a visitor re
! plied, “Does it make any differ
ence?”
The Finn smiled. “Food isn’t ra- ,
1 tioned anymore, you know.” He ■
was proud and justly so.
They went to an extremely nice
restaurant atop one of Helsinki’s
fine buildings. Everything went
beautifully, especially as fine a
pair of lamb chops as you can find
' this side of Paris.
“During the war,” said the
Finn, “we didn’t dance. We’re do
ing it now.”
Hours had passed and the visi
tor met a lot of Finns and still
there hadn’t been a word about
Russia. It was left to him to bring
it up.
"Oh, Russia,” said a young en- '
gineer. "You Americans get too
excited about the Russians. Look,
we live beside them and we seem
to be getting on.”
"That,” the visitor remarked,'
“was quite an observation for a i
Finn.”

Moscow Revives
Gudonov Opera
MOSCOW, <>P) — A new rendi
tion of the famous operat of Mo
deste Moussorgsky Boris Gudonov
has had its premiere in the Bol
shoi Theater in Moscow.
It has as its finale Moussorg
sky’s scene of popular rebellion
under the Kremlin walls which
was left out of the previous ver
sion of the opera in the Bolshoi
Theater two years ago. At that
time the theater was severely crit
icized for the omission.
The new verision of Boris Gu
donov according to preliminary j
notices takes care to preserve
Moussorgsky’s own concept of his
opera as having as its principal
actor the Russian people. There is
every reason to think that Boris
Gudonov will be one of the most,
popular spectacles here this sea
son.

Alaska Housing
Conditions Aired
To Committee
(By Charles D. Watkins)
<(>P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Alaska’s
housing problems were described
to a Senate banking sub-commit
tee Wednesday by witnesses who
urged prompt approval of a $15,
000,000 program.
They told the committee that if
the legislation is enacted in the
next six weeks the Alaska housing
authority could start construction
of 1,500 housing units next sum
mer.
And, they urged that permission
be included to permit putting
floors and roofs on Eskimo igloos.
That, said Father Paul C. O’Con
ner, of Hooper Bay, Alaska, is all
the Eskimos need, for they are not
ready for a modern house as
known in the United States.
He said putting floors in the ig
loos and roofs over them to keep
out the dampness had been known
to cut tuberculosis among the Es
kimos by 80 per cent.
W. E. Warne, assistant secretary
of the interior, testified present
housing in the Terrtiory is inade
quate. And more people, he sa;d,
are needed there for national de
fense and developing the Terri
tory.
“People in some parts of the
Territory,” he said, “are living in
garages, attics, basements and
cheap, inadequate cabins and what
is worse, are paying fantastic
prices for such space.
“One family in Fairbanks has
been paying $110 a month for a
one-room shack, nine feet by thir
teen feet in size.
“A rental of $300 per month is
being paid for two room quarters
in Anchorage with sub-standard
wiring. In another instance, in
Anchorage, a one-room, tar-pa
pared shack rents for $123 a
month.
As a final example, a row of
log cabins in Anchorage has seven
housing units, about 2 1/3 small
rooms each, which command a
rental of $200.”
The measure would provide a
broader lending authority than is
customary in the United State-. It
would provide for a secondary
market for mortgages, so bankers
could use them as liquid assets.
The Alaska housing authority
i would be allowed to construct
I housing projects on government
land and the $15,000,000 revolv
ing fund, to be repaid in 40 years,
j could be used for housing pro
jects by the AHA or for loans to
public or private agencies.
Kenneth Kadow, director of the
Alaska field service of the interi
or department, testified contrac
tors are ready to start work on
housing as soon as the legislation
is enacted.
Senator Magunson <D.-Wash.)
said the army’s program in the
Territory will be speeded up this
summer, adding to the need for
housing.
| The same witnesses will testify
| before the House banking commit
j tee today.
