NANKING, China, (/P)—A gov
ernment counter-offensive which
cleared Chinese communists to a
radius of 13 miles from Chang

reported today as fierce battles

south, west and north and that
at least 20,000 Red cavalrymen

chun and Mukden would not be
evacuated in the face of the Com
munist offensive unless the con
, sular officials themselves request
| ed it. O. Edmund Clubb of Minn
eapolis is consul general at
Changchun. Other Americans in
i elude four staff members and an

Territory Acts To Prevent
Spread Of Typhoid
The recent typhoid outbreaks
occurring in Alasks have spread
to the State of Washington, ac
cording to a letter received by Dr
C. Earl Albrecht, Territorial
health commissioner, from health
authorities in Seattle. Two cases
have been traced to Nenana and
Anchorage, Alaska.
The source of the first case oc
curring near Nenana has not yet
been traced, but subsequent cases
proved to be vfrater-borne. The An
chorage outbreak was traced to a
foodhandler in a pie shop. The pie
shop not only had restaurant fa
cilities but furnished food to a'r
lines as well. When questioned
about the outbreaks, Doctor Al
brecht sated, “Much credit must
be given to Lloyd A. Morley, sen
ior sanatarian at the branch office
in Anchorage, and Marie Kchler,
senior public health nurse m An
chorage, for their prompt and ef
fective epidemilogical investiga
tion of the outbreak in order to
curb the spread of typhoid fever
in the Anchorage area. This ?s

MINNEAPOLIS, (/P) — A man

Philadelphia Thursday regarding
a salesman’s car he said had been

warrant was threatened in a let

Sgt. Fred Burusted consulted
the records, informing the caller
that no such charges were pending
against the company in Minneap
olis.
“Minneapolis,” fairly shouted
the caller, “I called for the police
department at Annapolis.”
rather a harsh lesson; that is, that
in Alaska typhoid fever can be i
real menace. The importance of 1
strong and effective health organ

for the typhoid fever outbreak of
