GRADED MILK
 SOON FOR ALL
 ALASKA CITIES
Territory Has Over 3( Diaries No Milk
 Laws Existing

Over 30 dairies in Alaska will soor be getting report cards from the Territorial Department of Health with grades varying from A to D according to Ben Grimes, Public Health Engineer.
 With E. F. Clements, Sanitarian Grimes has been accumulat ting in- forma tion on AlaSkas various milk supplies for many months, informa- tion that when published, will give seal of approval or question mark to every bottle of milk that is sold in the Territory.
 We are making this exhaustive study and invoking new regula- tions, said Grimes this morning ITO award the producer some rec ognition for efforts at cleanliness and improvement in his milk pro- duction We will grade that milk according to its purity in the best interests of the public Alaska has had no milk laws, but it is going to get few"
 According to Grimes, the follow ing number of dairies are listed in Alaska; Juneau, 5; Ketchikan, 4; Cordova, 2; Valdez, l; Seward, 1; Anchorage, A. Fairbanks, 3; Wran- gell, 2; Sitka, 2; Nome l; Peters burg, 3; Skagway, 1; Haines, 1; Palmer, several producers, one big cooperative.
 Juneau and Palmer have the only pasteurizing plants in the Territory The Capital City has the largest number of dairieS.
 The only goat dairy in the Terri tory is at Sitka.
 Shipment of milk samples, picked up on the delivery routes of dairies throughout the Territory involves an interesting phase of the drive to test all milk produced in Alaska.
 The case in which the sample milk is shipped is of sheet metal, lined with cork. Milk is placed in the box and tray of salted ice is placed in turn upon the milk. With the lid closed tighty, a low, even temperature is maintained in the case
 Reason for the low temperature necessary in shipping samples lies in the fact that should the milk become warm, certain cultures un- desirable in a testing process, are encouraged to grow.
 Public Health Engineer Grimes says he hopes to see results of the grading complete before long.

OPPOSITION IS EXPRESSED TO
 NAVY PROGRAM
First Resentment to Expan. sion Appears at Com
 mittee Hearing

WASHINGTON, Feb. g. The first woman member of Congress opposing naval expansion, told the committee today that the program was wholly abnormal and the United States warship building would intensity international ten- sions' and speed the world toward war.
 Former Representative Jeanette Rankin of Montana, and Legisla- tive Secretary of the National Coun- cil for Prevention of War, led off the opposition to President Roose- velt's proposal to increase the fleet 20 percent. She asked the House Naval Committee to withhold ap- proval until it is determined if the increase is meant for national de- fense.
 Charles Beard, historian, said the program has no meaning save one, a step in the direction of applying a quarantine doctrine on Europe and Asia"
 Bruce Bliven. Editor of New Re- public, asserted the President is en- gagged in a great game of bluff with the Fascist Power" He said that in "one hand the President holds gun and in the other a reciprocal treaty. I submit that the United States now possesses a navy not intended for defense of our own shores but aggressive action in all parts of the world"

 Twenty-twol It's becoming one of the most dangerous of all ages for Americans-in physical condition, in traffic accidents and, particularly, in crime.
 More criminals commit more crimes at the age of 22 than at any other age.
 The 22-year- -old is one of the worst auto menaces, only slightly better than the 16-year-olds.
 The death rate leaps alarmingly between IT and 22. At g, a young man has one chance in 128 that his disabling illness will be fatal. When he was five years younger it would have taken 211 such ill., nesses to produce fatality.
 At no time in life are so few physical examinations taken. The boy in his teens receives twice as many. Eyesight and slight illness are prevailingly neglected at this age.
 Bear Unemployment Brunt
 All through the depression, youths from 18 to "A carried twice the bur- den of unemployment that older citizens-even the after-45 group had to bear.
 But it is crime statistics, par ticularly, which point to g as the most dangerous age. Last year, 22,- 875 men and women of g were per- manently recorded with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 Of these, 317 were booked for murder, 943 for robbery, and 3432 for larceny and theft, including auto theft. Here is last years record of the 22-year-olds, as compiled by the FBI:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-30
Today's Dangerous Age' Is Set at P

the FBI from 3700 rime-detecting agencies, show that more than third of all offenses made known through flnger-print reports are committed by persons between 21 and 29. There are twice as many arrests at 9 as at the average be- tween 35 and 40, and four times as many as at any age between 45 and 50.
 Second Poorest Drivers
 The automobile record is espe- cially bad. The 22-year-old is twice as dangerous to human life when behind the wheel as the 65-year-old. Recent Connecticut tests show that Is is the most dangerous age for driving, and 47 the best, but 22 was here again close to the worst.
 Why should 9 be such dan- gerous age? Why should 1t appar- ently be increasingly so?
 Those who have studied the sit- uation scientifically point out that the 22-year-olds of last year and this are the first depression genera tion. The Lost Generation" which was Host" in the World War, is be- ing succeeded by another "LoSt Generation" which lost itself in the cruel mazes of the depression. Their adolescence colored by tough eco- homie sledding after childhood amid the Prodigal Twenties, they come to maturity in time of de- pression.
 There are movies-and no money to see them. There are autoS-but only theft can put some boys be- hind the wheel. There is travel over the broad world-but only the freight-car or the thumb-hike to get it. "When do we begin to live?" is the common, bewildered, disillu- stoned complaint.
 Yet the same sociologists point to young college students, steady-going CCC boys, and some of the hardest working apprentices industry ever hired, as showing the kind of stuff that is in 22-year- when they get a real chance.

CAROL TO NAME
 NEW CABINET
Patriarch MirOn Christea May Reform Rumanian
 Government

Bucharest, March 30-(UP)-The cabinet of Patriarch Miron Chris tea resigned today.
 It was asserted that the resigna- ton was effected because the cab- inet, formed February Il, had full filled it's mission.
 King Carol was expected to name a new cabinet this afternoon.
 Some quarters predicted that Patriarch Christea would reform the government himself, with Finance Minister Mirza Gancinov as vice premier.
 At a cabinet council at the royal palace, Patriarch Christea read an address to the king, saying that with the installation of the new constitu- ton and the adoption of the budget the cabinet had completed its task of national concentration and was no longer necessary. King Carol then invited the ministers to lunch.
 Dr. Alexander Vaida- -Voevod, leader of the Rumanian front party and a former leader of the national peasant party, has been mentioned as possible premier when the cab met resigned. He was minister without portfolio in the national unity cabinet of the Patriarch Chris tea, formed over the overthrow of Octavian Goga and his anti-Jewish cabinet. Vaida-Voevod served as premier on three occasions between 1920 and 1883.
 The resignation of the patriarch was not unexpected. His cabinet, during its brief life, saw the emer- gence of King Carol as the country's strong man, and the enactment of a new constitution. It saw also a considerable softening of the anti Jewish policies of the Goga regime. However, the cabinet was an interim one and the venerable patriarch had not been expected to remain at the head of the cabinet for long.
