ALASKA COMBATS
TWO DISEASES IS
KING'SDISCOVERY
Rheumatic Fever, Rheu
matic Heart Disease Are
Greater than Suspected
There Is more rheumatic fever
and rheumatic heart disease in
Alaska than has been found or even
suspected, according to Dr. Robert
L. King of the Mason Clinic in
Seattle who is consultant in cardi
ology to the Alaska Department of
Health. Dr. King said he was basing
his opinion both on his observations
at the Chronic Disease Unit here
this week and on his work with Ala
skan patients in Seattle.
Alaska Is Combatant
“At the same time,” he said,
“Alaska is further ahead than many
of the states in combating the di
sease. Much progress has been
made in the Chronic Disease Unit’s
one year of existence and the work
should certainly be continued and
facilities expanded.” Some of the
states, he commented, have not
made even a beginning in efforts
to consol rheumatic heart disease.
He pointed out that heart disease
of all kinds is responsible for 50 per
cent of the deaths in the nation
and of these 30 percent are from
rheumatic fever.
Health Problem
“Rheumatic fever is definitely a
public health problem because its
control rests with the control of
i •-**“
streptococcic infections,” Dr. King
emphasized. He said that control of
streptococcic infections depend upon
better general hygiene, better per
sonal hygiene, better food and eat
ing habits, and better sanitation.
In an epidemic of infections, such
as scarlet fever, a disease caused by
the streptococcus, Dr. King said
“from 5 to 15 percent of the pa
tients will develop rheumatic fever.
And the recurrence of a strepto
coccic infection after the victim has
been treated, or during treatment
for rheumatic fever, can bring on j
a reactivation of the rheumatic1
fever and thereby increase the dam
age to the heart.”
Children are Treated
In the year since Alaska’s first
Chronic Disease Unit was estab
lished by the Health Department
with nine beds in two small wards
at St. Ann’s hospital in Juneau, 36
children have been diagnosed,
treated and cared for, according to
Dr. Virginia Cobb, director of the
unit. She said that 400 children suf
fering chronic diseases have been
reported to the program.
Dr. King returned to Seattle yes
terday. In addition to his work at
the Mason Clinic, he is president
of the Washington State Heart
Association, a member of the Board
of Directors of the American Heart
Association, and Assistant Clinical
Professor of Medicine at the Uni
versity of Washington Medical
School.

'PLEASE BELIEVE ME/
ROMANTIC COMEDY
The combination of four popular
stars in one of the wildest romantic
chases ever put on celluloid offers
filmgoers one of the year’s zaniest
comedies in "Please Believe Me,”
attraction at the Capitol Theatre
opening Sunday.
The stars are:
<1) Deborah Kerr, the brilliant
actress who last scored with Spen
cer Tracy in "Edward, My Son,”
this time making an abrupt about
face in characterization as a girl
who thinks she has inherited a
fortune and is determined to pro
tect herself from fortune-hunters.
(2) Robert Walker, who won a
carload of laughs in such hits as
“See Here, Private Hargrove” and
■One Touch of Venus,” and who now
enacts a dapper con-man who is
hard put to decide whether he loves
Deborah for her supposed millions
or for her alluring self.
(3) Mark Stevens, popular hero of
‘Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” who finds
another beautiful doll in Deborah
but sets out to prove her a schem
ng adventuress.
(4) Peter Lawford, last seen in a
serious role in “The Red Danube,"
low anything but serious as the'
carefree millionaire playboy willing
to hand over his check-book to any
iesigning female.
There are top laugh-getters in
the supporting cast, too, among
them, James Whitmore, the to
lacco-chewing sergeant of "Battle
ground,” J. Carrol Naish and Spring
Byington.
“Please Believe Me” is based on
in original story by Nathaniel
Burtis.
orthopedic surgeon for the Alaska
Department of Health.
The first clinic will be held No
vember 30 at Anchorage, Dr. C.
Earl Albrecht, commissioner of
health, announced upon his return
here today from New York where
he conferred with officers of the
National Infantile Paralysis Found
ation.
Dr. Moore will make recommend
ations for care and followup treat
ment where such is advisable, and
if necessary, home or hospital care
will be financed by the NFIP, Dr.
Albrecht stated. Hospitalization,
where indicated, will be arranged
for in hospitals in the States since
no hospital facility can be obtained
within Alaska, he explained.
Following the polio evaluation
clinic at Anchorage, one is to be
held at Fairbanks about December
2 according to the tentative sched
ule, with the Ketchikan clinic to
follow upon Dr. Moore's return
from the Interior. A physical ther
apist is also to be in attendance
at the clinics.
ur. Aiorecm said inai neami ut
partment funds will be used to
assist in travel expenses of polio
myelitis patients in outlying areas
who attend the clinics. There
have been 57 cases of the disease
reported in Alaska since August 10,
of which 45 were in the Interior
and 12 in Southeastern. There
were seven deaths.
While in the States, Dr. Al
brecht attended the Alaska Science
Conference at Washington, D. C:,
and was chairman of the Public
Health and Medicine section. He
reported keen and stimulating in
terest among the several hundreS
scientists from Alaska, Canada and
the states who participated in the
three-day conference whose ses
sions dealt with all scientific phases
of life and work in the Arctic re
gions.
As Alaska’s commissioner of
health, he attended the annua*
meeting in Washington October 23
of the Association of State and
Territorial health officers, and also
the annual meeting of the Ameri
can Public Health Association in
St. Louis, at both of which he
said he felt he had accomplished
a great deal for the advancement
of Alaska’s health program.

'SOUTH OF ST. LOUIS'
EXCITING COLOR FILM
IS AT ZOTH CENTURY
. M -
An action-jammed historical ad
venture yarn set in the lawless per
iod of the southwest following the
War Between the States, “South of
St. Louis,” filmed in Technicolor,
comes to the Gross 20th Century
screen tonight headed by a four
star cast including Joel McCrea,
Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and
Dorothy Malone.

man’s land of the Civil War. It
was that vast area of Texas and
the southwest in which, for the
most part, the war was fought on
a guerilla basis, although there
were organized army groups on both
sides. The film depicts the taut,
personal drama of three hard-rid
ing men of the range, set against
the violent background of the open
spaces. Smuggling was rampant
then and the reckless tempo of the
time made life exciting and dan
gerous.
McCrea plays Kip Davis whose
purpose in the lusty tale is to re
store the ranching land burned and
pillaged by guerillas in union hire.
Miss Smith departs from her usual
roles to that of a flamboyant enter
tainer of the old west. As Rouge de
Lisle, this beautiful blonde star dis
plays a completely new side to her
talents. Zachary Scott plays a cow
boy, not exactly a new role, as he
hails from Texas and spent many
of his younger years on a ranch.
Miss Malone, completing the roster ;
of stars, is cast as Deborah, W'ho is i
loved by McCrea but who loves an
other.
