“Contacts” Checked with
Man Now III with TB
KETCHIKAN UP — More than
80 persons who were “contacts”
of a man now ill with tuberculosis
have been checked in an intensive
drive by health officials from An
chorage, Juneau and Ketchikan, it
was announced Tuesday.
Dr. Robert Frazer of Anchorage,
chief of the medical team which
hustled into town Monday when
the “hot” TB case turned up,
worked late into the night check
ing X-rays made earlier.
The sick man was a member of
the ferry Malaspina’s steward’s de
partment — a table waiter.
Monday the Malaspina was in
port so that all crew members
could be X-rayed and all available
Taku crewmen will be checked.
Dr. Frazer said that all members
of the ferry crews who handle
food will be X-rayed before the
teams return to home offices of
the Alaska Division of Public
Health.
Dr. Frazer said the sick man
had worked on the Malaspina about
two weeks. He was formerly em
ployed in a downtown bar here as
a bartender.
The chest disease expert said the
TB case turned up when a doctor
made a check of the man’s case
during a routine physical checkup.
Dr. Frazer said he had found
excellent cooperation from those
considered to be contacts of the
man. He said, however, that the
contacts must submit again to X
rays in three months.

Atty. Gen. Kennedy
Denies New Principle
“To Shackle Business”
WASHINGTON UP — Atty. Gen.
Robert Kennedy denied today that
any new principle or any effort
“to shackle business” is involved
in the public accommodations bill,
a key part of the administration’s
civil rights program.
Testifying for the third day be
fore the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, he said “there have been
a lot of smokescreens about a stab
at business” in attacks on the bill.
Kennedy said that opposition
to the measure ought to be based
on the facts.
The bill would prohibit racial
discrimination by stores, restau
rants, hotels, theaters and other
private establishments engaged
substantially in interstate com
merce and catering to the general
public. It has come under heavy
attack from some members of Con
gress,' particularly southerners, as
an unconstitutional assault on pri
vate property rights.
Kennedy’s exchange today came
not with a southern senator but
with Sen. Frank Lausche, (D-Ohio).
Lausche said that under the At
torney General’s definition of in
terstate commerce, practically all
private business establishments
would appear to be covered.
“I am trying to learn how far
you contend the Congress can ul
timately go in bringing the busi
ness of the country within this
philosphy,” Lausche said.
“We are not coming in here
with any new principle,” Kennedy
told him, declaring that Congress
has passed numerious measures
that effect the operations of res
taurants, drug stores and other
businesses.

Gruelling Urges
Longshoremen
To Join Forces
WASHINGTON UP>—Sen. Ernest
Gruening urged Tuesday that all
Alaskan longshoremen join the
longshoremen of Skagway, Alaska,
in demanding the right tr do all
the unloading in Alaska of cargo
from Alaska Steamsh'p Co. ves
sels.
Gruening, at a news conference,
called for abrogation of an agree
ment between Alaska Steam and
the sailors union under which the
sailors are permitted to earn bonus
pay for unloading one of the
hatches when a ship is in an Alas
kan port.
“This arrangement has been
grossly unfair to the longshoremen,
whose livelihood is limited by the
only occasional ships that come
to the Alaska ports,’’ Gruening
said.
Gruening said the agreement
dates back to 1947, and noted that
he protested it in his book “T e
State of Alaska,” published in
1954.
The Skagway longshoremen, af
filiated with the Teamsters Union,
are on strike over the issue, and
the Alaska Steamship Co. has an
nounced that its vessels will no
longer serve Skagway, Gruening
said.
“This is the first time that a
union has had the guts to fight
this thing,” Gruening said. “It Js
a plain case of a long-standing
abuse that needs correction.
“The strike of the longshoremen
in Skagway is on this issue. They
feel that they are entitled to all
the unloading and loading, and I
fully agree with them. Elemen
tary justice would require that
totally unfair arrangement, by
which well-paid sailors residing
outside of Alaska in effect take
the bread from the mouths of
Alaskan residents, should be abro
gated.
“Alaska Steam indicated it will
no longer serve Skagway. If the
longshoremen in every other port
made the same demand, they would
soon get results, and I hope they
will, in fairness to themselves and
to the economy of Alaska.
“This should be no deprivation
to the sailors from Seattle. They
get their full pay as sailors. What
is objectionable is that they also
get part of what should be the
longshoremen’s pay.”
Visions of Relief . . .
SECACUS, N.J. UP) — Travelers
driving along the New Jersey
Turnpike in 99-degree weather had
visions of relief Wednesday when
an electric sign cautioned:
“Drive slow — ice and snow.”
State Police explained that some
how a radio signal transmitted to
control Turnpike caution signs had
gone haywire. A button was
pushed and the sign blinked out.

POLARIS
Dining Room
Diane Olsen, Long Beach, Calif., beauty, is one driver who won't
forget to fasten her seat belt. Her car is equipped with the latest safety
development, the Stay Safe Reminder, made by Caravan Mfg. Co.,
Long Beach. This ingenious device prevents the car's starter from work
ing until the seat belt is fastened. When the belt is loose, no electricity
can reach the starter. When the belt is tightened, a pressure switch en
ables the starter to operate. The safety switch is protected by a compact
case of tough Cycolac brand ABS plastic with an attractive metal
finish to match other seat belt part. The reminder is sold in department
and auto accessory stores.
Pentagon Will Offer
College Scholarships to
Draw Young Picked Men
WASHINGTON dP — The Pen
tagon soon will propose offering
hefty college scholarships in an ef
fort to draw picked young men into
advanced Army and Air Force Re
serve officer training programs, it
was learned Tuesday.
The Defense Department plan is
to grant up to $1,300 a year to
young men who are chosen to en
roll in advanced two-year ROTC
courses and who agree to stay on
active duty for at least four years
after college graduation.
A pilot program would provide
up to 1,000 scholarships each for
the Army and Air Force ROTCs.
Neither service now has any such
subsidy.
If Congress approves — and if
it works out in practice — the
program can conceivably be ex
panded to offer a larger number
of scholarships.
The Navy already has such an
arrangement, providing full four
year scholarships worth about
$2,000 a year.

WoocLhed Treatment
CEDARTOWN, Ga. W — Three
teen-age youths were given the
woodshed treatment by an 87-year
old woman who runs a rural store
in Felton.
Mrs. Ida Merritt was about to
close her store for the night when
three youths wearing masks en
tered. They ordered Mrs. Merritt
to the back of the store.
She grabbed her walking cane,
made from a broom handle, and
gave the youths a thorough caning.
Her husband, also 87, who was in
the back of the store, hurried in,
grabbed a broom and helped his
wife.
The boys later fled in a sta
tion wagon waiting outside and
sped off. They were later arrest
ed and charged with attempted
robbery.
