ard & O., should take over Mc- Reasons of New York, which was not being operated on a satisfactory basis according to Coster.
 Just Like Phillips
 Merwlns testimony was practi- caiiy identical to that given by Phillips. It was the story of more audlts before the deal would be con- sidered and the story of the jump in the original price Of ei00,. 900 considered for the good will of the McKegson's, to e000,- 900 in the circular, which was sent out describing the then proposed merger.
 Merwin said he thought that the McKesson's good will was worth t0OOOO0 as did Phillips. Mir. Phil- lips said If q 1000, 900 was paid for the good will it would not be too high, and told of the worldwide fame of McKessonB and of how no- body knew the 0irard name.
 Evidence Today
 New York, May 7.--(UP) --Hor. ace B. Mefwin, president of the Bridgeport, Conn, City Trust Co., and the last of the remaining four defendants to take the stand in the McKeSgon & Robbins mali fraud and conspiracy trial, testified today that when the late r. Donald Cos- ter-Musica became president of the huge drug firm, overhead expenses started coming down like autumn leaves"
 As 10 the q 660,oo0 securities issue which he and other bankers gpon- sored in 1928 for the purpose of enc abiing Coster to take over the 186,- 900 900 drug empire, Merwin told the federal court jury:
 That was based on predictions of future earnings. I had in mind a drastic reorganization ct McKeB. son for the interest of the stock. holders; he wanted to cut down ex- travagance, waste, inefficeincy.
 Merwin said that Coster had great expansionist ideas for the company and that he eventually prevailed over Merwin's conservatism" Merwin said Coster eventually sold him on his ideas.
 My associates and myself fin- ally agreed it was either all or none," Merwin said of Coster's pro- posals in 1928 to create 6 drug en1- pire covering all America. The agreement to back Coster resulted in Issuance Of nearly S30, 100000 worth Of finuancing in which Goldman Sachs and Bond and Goodwin, New York brokerage houses, participated
 "rhc project became too large foi Us and had gotten beyond us," Mer- win said.
 The i2 day stay Of Rowley W. Phillips On the witness stand in the S2i 900 900 McKeesor Robbins case wound Up with pyrotechnical displays by United States Atty. Irving Kaufman and Atty. Philip Corbin, Mir. PhIllipS' counsel.
 Each attorney injected as much dr. ma as he could into the cloGing scene.
 The final question of each at. torney bears evidence of the Sit- uation.
 The United States attorney fired as his final shot at MT. Phillips, the following question:
 "In ell your dealings with Me- Kessons you were always playing beth ends for Rowley W. Phillips and not for the benefits of the stockholders, isn't that go?"
 That's not so," replied MT. Phillips.
 Attorney Corbin as 6 cross fire question to offset the embarraSs. ing one of the government attor- ney, said:
 "You're not c crook are you, MT. Phillipg." MT. Phillips re- piled.
 T am not.

Nome Common Council Met Monday Evening

The City councils most import ant business last Monday even ing was the voting of a warrant to pay the final installment on the 1939-40 Nome school budget which annually costs the city $6442. Mondays payment was for S3442.
 The council also passed the an nual ordinance setting salaries of city officials for the next year as follows: City Clerk $195 per month, city attorney $50 per month and city treasurer $1 per year. The official ordinance ap- pears elsewhere in today's issue.
 Mrs. Carrie McLain was ap- pointed by the council to fill the position left vacant by the death of Henry Hannon on the Board of Election Judges.
 The school committee reported the work of putting in the found ation for the new addition to the school as going ahead nicely. The subject of a replacement for the school boiler drew much discus sion with the apparent concensus of opinion being that such a move would be necessary this summer.
 The council listened to Alvin Polet on the proposal to desig- nate buildings and streets by their proper numbers and names and place markers throughout the city. No action was taken be- yOnd offering to hear any sug- gestions as to how the program should be handled.
 The subject of voting the ex- penditure for a Public Health Nurse for Nome for the next year was laid on the table until the new council takes office.

Ice Pool tickets are going rap idly these days, and only two weeks remain before the 194O pool will be closed.
 Indirect reports from 'the scene of action," at Nenana say there is no indication of either an early or late breakup. In fact for that matter there is no cer- tainty there will be breakup, judging by the way the country is held in the grip of winter.
 However Nomeites still have faith in their ability to guess and the chances are that we may still get a winner from this part of the country.

Regular Month Meeting Nome Health Council is Held


 The regular meeting of the Nome Health Council was called .o order by Chairman Henry Mil Ter The minutes of the last meet ing were read and approved.
 Mrs. Sprenger gave her month ly report for the month of Febru- ary stating that in accord with ob- servance of Social Hygiene Day, articles were published in the newspaper during the month and the film of Syphilis was shown to the class in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick. Also to both the Territorial and Indian Affairs School. Dental inspections were made and those who needed dent al care were given it. The terri torial fund of $100 is being used to furnish dental care to those children whose parents are un- able to do so. It is also used for the dental care of preschool child ren.
 A letter was read from Marcia Hays, M. D. from Juneau suggest ing that we again take steps to see that the Public Health Nurs- ing Service is continued for an other year. It was the unanimous opinion of the Nome Health Coun cil to support the continuance of such a Nurse and nursing activ- itieS.
 At this time slides on Care of the Feet were shown. These slid eS showed the value of correct fitting shoes and stockings. The feet should be taken care of from infancy. Bunions, corns and cal uses are all caused from improp- CT care and incorrect fitting shoes. When the shoes are too short the many small bones of the foot are cramped and thus the weight pressure is pushed to- some other portion of the foot. High heels also cause a deviation from the correct pressure bear ing points, also causing the whole body to be off balance. By impro per care many ailments in other parts of the body are caused from the feet. Correct exercises such as standing on a ledge and bending the toes downward, standing on tip toes and lowering slowly and walking around the room number of times on the side of the foot will help to strengthen the tissues and aid against the tendency of fallen arches and other foot ailments.
 The Program Committee for our next meeting to be held on April 29 include Rev w P Wood, Margaret Scott and Wilbur Ar mold.
 pr. Morcom is giving vaccina- tions for small pox to infants, preschool and school children on next Thursday, March 28 at the Territorial Schol frof 9:30 am to 12 noon.
