"YUKON HEALTH" BOAT WILL
SERVE YUKON RIVER
The Yukon Health, newest ma
rine unit of the Alaska Depart
ment of Health, soon again will
carry its general public health
program to Yukon River villages,
it was announced recently by
health officials.
Iiex Fox, captain of the 86 foot
vessel, left Anchorage for Kwi
guk accompanied by his crew of
engineer, boatswain and cook to
free the boat from river ice and
make it ready for the coming sea
son. It is expected to be placed
in operation by May 15 and will
continue through the month of
September.
Last year in its first season of
operation, the Yukon Health made
stops at five Yukon villages until
river ice forced it to return to
Kwiguk for winter drydock. This
year it is planned to visit all vil
lages and fish camps between
Kwiguk and Holy Cross, an area
largely neglected in past years by
medical services.
Much Livestock Die
In Dakota Floods
BISMARCK, N. D. (/P) — First
livestock losses were reported
early today as the torrential Red
River inched upward, spilling its
murky waters over added acres
of North Dakota and Minnesota
farmlands.
Near Manvel, N. D., Leo Kin
ney said eight cattle and all of his
brood sows were drowned. Ray
mond Kinney lost all of his pigs
in the same area. Red Cross offi
cials said there apparently were
other losses, as yet unreported.
At Grand Forks, the Red River
hit a 42.88 level last night. 14.82
feet above flood stage.
After an aerial survey, officials
estimated at least 100 highway
and railroad bridges have been
carried away by the flood waters.
An estimated total of more than j
3,000 people are a lready home- |
: less.

Truman Signs
Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, .(/P)—President
Truman yesterday signed the
multi-billion dollar housing bill.
The measure which he approved
without comment, provides incen
tives for home building by fam- ,
ilies of low and moderate incomes '
but lacks the controversial co- J
optative plan which he proposed. |
Both the Senate and the House
rejected the co-op provision. It
would have set up a $2,000,000,000
program of home building through
co-operatives and other non-pro
fit organizations.
The measure provides for an
expansion of almost four billion
in the federal housing program
for loans and mortgage guaran
tees.
WASHINGTON (/P)—‘The Joint
Chiefs of Staff have given secre
tary of defense Johnson a report
on the question of whether more
money is needed for Air Force
and navy planes.
Reporting this in response to
an inquiry yesterday, a defense
department spokesman said John
son is studying the report and will
advise Congress of his decision.
The joint chiefs’ study was re
quested by Johnson after General
Dwight D. Eisenhower told a Con
gressional committee rece n 11 y
that the $13,000,000,000 defense
budget should be increased by
$500,000,000 “at the outside’’ for
additional Alaskan defenses and
more air craft.
Some 20,000 pioneers pushed
through Cumberland Gap in one
season shortly after it was opened.
