MRS. MANTHEY IS
CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
NEW NFIP CHAPTER
Preliminary organization of a
Southeast Alaska chapter of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis was effected at a meeting
held in the Baranof Hotel Gold
Room last night.
An executive committee was
named representative of Southeast
Alaska. Going into session imme
diately following the dinner meet
ing, the executive committee named
its officers and prepared an appli
cation for charter for the new
chapter.
Officers named were: Mrs. Doro
thy Manthev, chairman: Mrs. Vern
Lee. secretary: B. D. Stewart, trea
surer. all of Juneau; and Mrs. Annie
Whaley of Ketchikan, vice chair
man.
West Altenburg, national repre
sentative of the Foundation, assisted
with the organization plans.
He was introduced to the group
of 50 attending the dinner meeting
by Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, commis
sioner of health, who acted as tem
porary chairman until the execu
tive committee was nominated
from the floor.
Mr. Altenburg commented that
Alaskans have been contributing
generously to the annual March of
Dimes campaigns for many years.
He said that there is $29,000 on de
posit with the national foundation
for Alaska, but that until an Alas
kan chapter of the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis was
organized there was no legal entity
to whom the funds could be turned
over.
Funds for treatment ana care ui
victims of the current polio out
break in Alaska, he said, were set
up by the national foundation on
an emergency basis.
He suggested that Alaska have
three chapters of the NFIP, rep
resenting southeast, central and
northern Alaska. The state and ter
ritorial chapters operate their own
programs without interference from
the national foundation, he pointed
out, but are eligible to funds and
equipment as needed from the na
tional organization in cases of
emergency.
Dr. Philip Moore, health depart
ment orthopedic surgeon who was
in Juneau last night upon his re
turn from examining polio patients
in Anchorage and Fairbanks, spoke
briefly at the meeting. He stated
that much aid had been received
from the NFIP by Alaska in its
current polio epidemic. Dr. Moore
is enroute to Ketchikan where he
will also examine polio patients.
Mr. Altenburg planned to leave
today for Anchorage and Fairbanks
to assist in organization of NflP
chapters in those areas. He said
that application for the southeast
chapter was already in the mail.
Members of the Southeast Alaska
NFIP chapter named at last night's
meeting are:

HURT IN ACCIDENT
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 5—l/P)—A
collision between a crowded North
west Greyhound bus and an auto
mobile on the four-lane Seattle
Tacoma highway killed the car
driver and injured 14 of the bus
passengers yesterday. None of the
injured was considered critical.
Fatally injured was Mrs. Gerald
Taylor, 31, a Tacoma ice skating
instructor.
Passengers aboard the crowded
bus said only the quick action of
driver Gerald Thomas, 36, of Bel
lingham, averted a major tragedy.
Thomas, who suffered only minor
injuries when the bus flipped on its
side in the ditch, said the automo
bile swerved into his northbound
lane. Futilely trying to avoid a
crash, Thomas jammed on his air
brakes and swung to the left hand
side of the road. The two vehicles
collided nearly headon.
Thirteen of the 14 injured riders
were hospitalized. Another, Mrs.
Marion Strixrood, woman’s editor
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
was taken to her home in Seattle
with serious throat injuries.
ALASKA GALLERY
IS POSSIBILITY AT
SEATTLE MUSEUM
—
SEATTLE, Dec. 5—The Alas
ka-Yukon committee began a drive
to obtain $45,000 to finance an
Alaskan gallery in the projected
Seattle Museum of History and
Industry.
The committee headed by Robert
Gillespie, is composed of business
men, most of whom have spent
time in Alaska or traded with busi
ness firms in the Territory.
The museum, sponsored by the
Seattle Historical Society, is under
construction along Lake Washing
ton Boulevard near the Montlake
Bridge.
Gillespie said the committee must
have $10,000 by Sunday. That would
enable the contractors to lay the
foundation of an extra wing along
with that of the main building. A
second $10,000 is needed by January
10 and the remaining $25,000 will
be solicited later.
SEATTLE — To handle an excep
tionally heavy pre-Christmas move
ment of air freight to Alaska, Pan
American World Airways has sched
uled five extra sections of all-cargo
flights from Seattle to Fairbanks in
December, the airline announces.
