There is not much propect of
ending the blocade into Berlin
which the Russians have set up.
Envoys have seen Molotov four
times but according to Molotov
the Western Powers have nothing
ito offer except what they have
already agreet to—namely a 4- j
power ocnference, which all are
bound to hold.
Now it is rumored that General .
Clay advocated that the blockade
was to be smashed regardless of
events to follow, a course which
if he were allowed to follow
would lead to but one thing—
War. I
For that reason, rumor con
tinues. he was recalled.
The spy iuss in Washington
brings out little that the F.B.I.
did not already know.
These committee hearings on
subversive activities are the true
course of the F.B.I. giving its
information to the public in an
authentic manner, though authen
tic sources. i
Chairman Ferguson >R. Wis.i
Mated that the tragedy of the spy
iitution came as a shock to the
people because Truman was cog
nizant of the Communist condi
tions in his government.
Tobin, governor of Muss, lias
accepted the post of Secy, of
labor in the Truman cabinet.
It Communies are so prevelent
n the government machinery how
does it come we do not find them
in private business such as Du
ponts. Rockerfeller's Organization
and many others? Simply because
tit the first break they would be
"out" and wouldn't have another
chance at wrecking the train. Too
much regimentation! Ed.»

FOUR PER CENT
HAVE T.B. IN ALASKA
A report on results of chest X
r;iys taken in Alaska was an
nounced Tuesday h.v Dr. C. Earl
Albrecht, Commissioner of Health.
Since 1!)4(5. 45.000 persons of all
races have been X-rayed in the
territory by the Alaska Depart
ment of Health in cooperation
with the Alaska Native Service
and the Alaska Tuberculosis As
sociation.
Of those X-rayed, and average
of four in every one hundred
showed evidence of tuberculosis,
tin the United States, an average
of one to two per one hundred is
the average survey finding.) This
rate varied thru out the territory
from a high of twenty-three per
one hundred to a low of one sus
picious case per one hundred ex
amined.
Findings for Seward showed an
average per cent of 3.3 out of
1.466 persons X-rayed.
“Mass X-ray programs in Alaska
have revealed many active cases
of tubcrculossi that would have
otherwise remained unknown";,
Dr. Albrecht said. The mass X-ray
survey yearly discovered almost
twice as many cases as had been
previously reported yearly by
physicians and nurses. However.
I in those communities having a
! physician, the rate was one-half
i that of those areas not having
! medical services.
Although all areas of Alaska
have been surveyed in part, more
than half of the territory’s popu
lation remain to he X-rayed. The
surveys are conducted on a vol
untary basis, and the difficulty in
reaching all communities in Al
aska is well known. Recent ap
propriations have made possible
increased personnel, equipment
and hospitals for the control of
t uberculosis.
The present campain against
tuberculosis began in 1946, pl
t hough X-ray survey had been
conducted in previous years. In
, 1946 the Alaska Department of
I Health obtained the service of the
| motorship HYGIENE which has
since furnished a general medical
program as well as X-ray services
| from St Lawrence Island to South
eastern Alaska. For the last two
vears a truck unit has been con
i ducting a similar program along 1
the interior highway system dur- '
ing the sumter months. This unit
began its yearly program along
the Richardson Highway last i
month under the direction of Dr. I
Frederick Swanson. Senior Field
Physician for the Alaska Depart
ment of Health.
In 1947 a portable X-ray unit
