 CarsWeII Home

An ordinance requiring all milk sold in Ketchikan to be pasteurized was passed by the First City's Coun- cilmen this week on recommenda- ton of Dr. A. N. Wilson, City Health Officer, Dr. J. A. CarlsWell, Terri torial Epidemiologist and pr. J. B Loftus, Territorial Veterinarian, af- ter four cases of unduIant fever had been discovered there.
 Dr. Carswell returned to Juneau today on the steamer Taku and reported Ketchikan dairymen eager to cooperate with public officials in removing. by pasteurization, the danger of humans being infected by the sociological agent, brucella ab- ortus. The disease in cattle is known as contagious abortion. In humans, the same agent caused mdulant fe- yer, a serious disease because it in- capacitates the victim for months and sometimes years. The germ is destroyed by pasteurization.
 Ketchikan dairies have arranged to have all milk pasteurized at the Crystal Dairy plant.

GENEVA, Dec. 9.-The League of Nations Council today handed to the Assembly, Finland's indictment of Russia on charges of aggression.

 This reported action has melted British reluctance to oust Russia.

KIRKENES, Norway, Dec. 9.-Hundreds of Russian soi- diers attempting to land on the beaches Of steep-m0un- tained Petsamo and Linaha- mari fjords were drowned to- day when the Finn defenders blasted the cliffs above and swamped the boats of the landing party.

HOOVER STARTS CAMPAIGN;
 GIVES DINNER, THEN OTHERS
 FOLLOW, CHAIN LETTER IDEA
By PRESTON GRoER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-A din- ing room picture of Herbert Hoover's quiet campaign for support and vim dication shows how earnest the for mer President is in his effort to impress his own views on the next Republican campaign
 A staunch group of 20 to 40 Re- publicans friendly to Hoover are in- vited to a private dinner at which the former President appears as speaker. He discusses public issues, naturally emphasizing his own opin- ions on the Roosevelt administra- tion. What it amounts to is sort of stately peptalk
 Each guest at the dinner is expect ed to hold little dinner of his onm in turn to deliver the Hoover views to an ever widening circle. It seems to be patterned on the chain letter idea.
 Reports have it that there is solid headWay being made in California, and progress in Minnesota and Wis consin. Advance agent of the plan is Ben Allen of San Francisco, a former newspaperman who has been credited with putting zip into Hoo yer's speeches of the past three or four years.
 One guest at one of the primary dinners reported that he noted two Hoover characteristics at these af- fairs: One. that at a private dinner where his guests are amiably dis posed Hoover is convincing talker, the other that the former President
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-09
reveals a yearning to demonstrate once more-in the White House that his way was the wise way.
G-MEN ON THE ALERT

British and French purchasing missions already in this country cre- ate a tricky situation for J. Edgar Hoover and his anti-sabotage agen- cies. Following the practice of last war, the visiting missions set about buying the whole output of plant, and sometimes the plant itself, in order to assure steady supply of essential materials.
 We checked with the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation and were told that reports of sabotage in any plant whatever, British-oWned or other wise, would be investigated. With only $50 FBI agents and a smaller number of military and secret ser vice agents at his disposal for such work, G-man Hoover can't put a man in every plant where sabotage might be expected. However, he has invited everybody to report to the nearest FBI office any reports or rumors of sabotage or espionage. None will be neglected
 The FBI couldn't see any grounds for discriminating against British or French-owned plants in this country, if the Allies should acquire some. After all. they will be manned by American workmen whose peace
