CANCER SPECIALISTS
HERE FOR FLYING
CONSULTATIONS
Their plane delayed by weather
between Petersburg and Juneau,
Drs. Brewster Miller, David State
and Frank B Queen, cancer spe
cialists due in Juneau for a Terri- j
torial Cancer Society luncheon in
their honor at noon Friday, the doc
tors arrived later in the day and a j
busy schedule was completed with
lectures at St. Anns hospital last
night with all of the doctors in j
Juneau present.
With Mrs. Mildred Hermann, j
commander of the Alaska Chapter j
American Cancer society in charge, i
the Friday luncheon was turned j
into a "kick-off" for the Cancel
Society Fund drive which will start
in April.
Present at the luncheon was Tom
Morgan, of the Columbia Lumber
Company, introduced as Territorial!
chairman of the drive and Dr. C. |
Earl Albrecht, director of the Terri- j
torial Health Department.
Though the Lying cancer group
was delayed in Petersburg, they j
w asted no time. Their 48 hours were
spent “doctoring” niqgt of the town,
now in the midst of an influenza
epidemic — and temporarily with
out a local physician.
“This is a pleasant way for the
cancer group to return Petersburg’s
generous support of the American
Cancer Society,” Mrs. Harmann
said.
A cancer moving picture was
shown during the luncheon with the
aid of Alva Blackerby, as a last
minute fill-in for the planned pro
gram.
Members of the cancer team are
Dr. Miller, who is director of Pro
fessional Education section for the
American Cancer Society in New
York City; Dr. State, of the Uni
versity of Minnesota’s Medical
School’s Department of Surgery in
Minneapolis and Dr. Queen, patho
logist and cancer coordinator of the
University o f Oregon Medical
School in Portland.
At the meeting at St. Ann’s hos
pital last night, the early diagnosis
of cancer of the stomach was the
subject of Dr. Queen's lecture to
the Juneau doctors; Dr. State spoke
on skin cancer and Dr. Miller on
cancer of the lungs and chest prob
lems in connection with tubercu
losis.
Importance of early diagnosis was
stressed and its urgency in treating
all forms of cancer — and especial
ly cancer of the stomach, Dr. Al
brecht said today in telling of the
meetings.
The visiting physicians were
guests of the Juneau doctors at
dinner at Mike’s in Douglas last
night.
Today surgery will be performed
by the visiting cancer specialists,
and they will work with Juneau
doctors in their clinics and St.
Ann's in consultations.

CAB POLICY ES
CHARGED WITH
CAUSING DEATHS
Civil Aeronautics Board policies
on non-scheduled airlines in Alaska
contributed to 14 whooping cough
deaths at Wainwright, north of the
Arctic Circle, Sen. Percy Ipalook
charges.
The Territorial legislator, an Eski
mo, made his charge in a telegram
to Chan Gurney, new member of
the Civil Aeronautics Board. He said
that because of “CAB restrictions
against non-scheduled airlines in
Alaska” serum could not be flown
to Wainwright to treat 14 babies
who died in the whooping cough
epidemic.
Ipalook said he had not made a
personel investigation at Wain
wright but had obtained most of
his information from a publication
known as the “Mukluk Telegr'-n!.”
published at Kotzebue by a frier
who is critical of the CAB
The Eskimo legislator said in his
wire to Gurney the incident oe
urred last winter. The Territorial
Health Department checked its re
cords, however, and reported the
whooping cough deaths were listed
as occurring last July or August.
ipalook appealed to Gurney to
"give our air problems jour per
sonal attention.”
"I urge you to stop all cease
and-desist orders on Alaskan car
riers until you have had an oppor
tunity to study our transportation
problems personally.”
General Denial
A general denial from all sources
is made to the above charges.
Robert O. Kinsey, the director,
of CAB in Alaska, at Anchorage,
said all airline restrictions are lifted
in such ertrergencics.
Kinsey said the article written by
Eugene Joiner, Kotzebue pilot who
publishes the paper, the Mukluk
Telegraph, apparently was the basis
for Ipa'.ook's charges. He said the
Joiner uticle stated Joiner was un
able to fly sci u hi to Wainwright
because lie was subpoenaed to ap
pear u a CAB enforcement inves
tigation at Kotzebue at the time.
”1 was ai mat meeting,” Kinsey
said. "At least four qualified pilots
also were there. At r.o time was
there any mention cl a whooping
cou.-h • nidemic or the need for
serum be ficvvi. to vvairiwrieht."
Kin; saver the Joiner paper had
been critical of the CAB for some
-ime. Joiner, he said, had been
charged with violations of CAB
regulations at a hearing, and an
examiner had recommended the
board issue a cease-and-desist or
der against the pilot.
The paper said the incident oc
tuned last winter. A check of the |
Territorial Board of Health in Ju- ]
neau disclosed 14 deaths occurred
last July and August.
In Washington, a Civil Aeronau
tics board spokesman said the board
has been unable to substantiate
charges that 14 babies died in Al
aska because of its restrictions
against non-scheduled airplane
flights there.
