ALASKA'S NO. 1 PROBLEM

routine announcement from the Division of Communicable Disease Control of the Territorial Department of Health reminds that tuberculosis is still Aaskas No. problem. Nnety-four new cases of the disease reported to the Division in the two weeks ending April IA. Although the unusually high number of new cases is accounted for by sev- eral artificial factors it is still reflection of very dangerous condition prevalent in the North
 Twenty-two of the cases never reported before showed up on death certificates. That is, 22 Alas kans died of preventabe contagious disease which diagnosed reported to public authori- ties while they were alive. Seventy of the discovered by Government physician making a special diagnostic study in Southeast Alaska alone It seems that to find tuberculosis in Alaska, one has only to go out and look for it. This disabling and killing disease is present all about us.
 It is true that the native population of Alaska is more generally afflicted by the disease than the white. But that should be source of comfort to the white population which is living side by side with condition which is making deeper inroads every year into the ranks of non-natives
 The pity of it all is that tuberculosis prevent able. Science has known for years how to control and stamp out the disease. In most of the States tuberculosis stands far down the list killers Here in Alaska it is the prime cause of death We lack the one thing needed to control and cure tubercu- losis, and that is facilities for adequate hospitaza- tion of those afflicted. What we require and utter ly lack except for very few beds provided by the Office of Indian Affairs for native patients are hos ptals Every tuberculous patient while in the in- fectious stage must be isolated from the rest of the population if to check the disease After cure careful folow-up must be maintained. Persons with tuberculosis be cured by rest proper nor ishment and in some cases by the simple lung sur gerry known pneumothorax. All we are doing now, except for the small degree of isolation made possible in the limited number of beds we have available for natives, is sending drbble of affct- ed patients to santoria in the States This will never solve the problem In fact it won't even let Us hold own against the disease We must have tuberculosis hospital facilities in Alaska Competent medical advice dspels the widely held impression that tuberculosis cannot be cured in the Alaska cli mate. It can, if we have the hospitals

The Legislature also appropriated $3O00 for diagnosis of tuberculosis to supplement Federal funds and those raised by the annual seal sale of the Alaska Tuberculosis Asso- ciation That is start But much much more needs to be done before have begun to cope with this We urge, upon the Federal Gov- ernment the necessity of helping to build large tuberculosis hospital in Alaska.

Fairgrounds of the Future
(PhlIaoelpnla ttecord)

A kind of chemists Utopia has been outlined by Dr. Francis J. Curtis, Monsanto chemist, in a paper prepared for the American Chemical Society, according to report in the New York Times. He believes that in the future agriculture and manuac- turing may become mechanized and scientific that farming, carpenterng and masonry may survive chiefly as recreations-the way horseback riding archery and rowing survive today.
 We suggest other activities for this playground of the future. There ought to be automobile that man drive by shifting gears and moving spark lever, instead of using automatic devices There ought to be musical instrument that man can play with his hands instead of relying radios and photographs And there ought to be place where could sit and think, without help of radio commentators-or newspaper editorials.

public is entitled, there has grown up maze of red tape in the De- fense agencies which hampers and confuses the average reporter and has the effect of censorship.
 The Office of Production Manage ment, for instance, has some 30 diff ferent publicity agents, each ir charge of a different section. A call to any of them is taken down in shorthand by stenographer and transcribed for the OPM's perma- nent files.
 Of an entirely different nature is the censorship exercised by tn c Navy, which beyond doubt has be- come the most high-handed agency n Washington in its attitude to- ward the press.
 In the suppression of certain kinds of information, such as naval secrets the press is glad to cooperate. For months, nothing appeared in print about the new device for detecting the approach of arplanes, until iso- lationist Senator Nye made speech about it. The press also has cooper ated in protecting ship movements and the Navy'5 new bombsight.
 Censored Criticism
 In recent weeks, however, the Navy has gone further, has even threatened censorship as a means of protecting high naval officers from criticism. Navy brasshats have long oeen sensitive about press criticism out have never brought such pres sure to stop it as today.
 Today, there is definite evidence that Naval Intelligence has been tapping telephone wires and shadow ing newsmen who have unearthed news which the Navy does not like Even the FBI does not tap wires. az the result of Supreme Court ruling.
 Naval secrets are not involved merely criticism of certain brasshats. And Naval Intelligence appears to be chiefly interested in the source of the information; in other words. what officers in the Navy, or off cials in other government agencies, have disclosed inefficiencies.

 Similarly, We were refused list of employees of Miss Harriet Elliott $ Defense Consumers Division and their salaries without a formal writ ten request. In contrast, the tradi- tional practice of established agen- cies such as the State and War De- partments is to publish the salaries Of every official in the annual regis ter.
 Again, the REC at first refused to reveal the salary of Senator Cot ton Ed" Smiths Jaw, who is on it's payroll; and it was forthcom- ing only after the question was put up to the. REC Board and debated there.
 The Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, like the REC, is ruled with an iron fist by Secretary Jesse Jones. Recently Carroll Will son, executive of the Bureau, as- sembled all its employees and threat ened them with severe consequence es' if they gave any information to newsmen about the sweeping re- organization now under way. One of the new officials Jones has brought into the Bureau is Robert Fitz-Randolph Martin, former re- search director of the anti-New Deal National Association of Manufac- turerS.
 Confused Red Tape
 Height of ridiculous censorship was the refusal of the National De- fense Commission to disclose the salary of Mrs. Margaret Holmead, daughter of William H. McReynolds, White House Secretary, who had in- stalled her as Personnel Director of the Commission although she had no experience in this field.

KNOX AND MRS. PATTERSON
 This policy of news suppression was inherited by Republican Secre- tary of the Navy Colonel Knox. But he has done nothing to change it. If anything, he has increased it. And because he himself is a news paper publisher, he knows the game.
 One thing he apparently did not know, however, is that it is usually wiser to speak softly of a lady. Not long ago he was talking with Flea lor Patterson, red-headed publish- er of the Washington Times Herald, when she asked him about his newly initiated policy of suppressing news of ship movements.
 What about pictures of shirs?' the lady publisher asked.
 "If you publish a picture of a British ship in an American port" shot back the Secretary of the Navy, I'll put you in jail.'
 A short time later the battered British battleship Malaya arrived in New York harbor. Remembering Knox's threat, Mrs. Patterson slap ped a picture of the ship cn page one. 2
 She has not yet gone to jail.

And the admirals made it so hot for the firm which employed this engineer that he al- most lost his job.
 In this case, the Navy did not deny that the destroyers were topheavy it admitted the truth of the story but then tried to crack down on what it thought was the source. In other words, it did not want the taxpayer to know that bis money, spent on brand new destloyers, had been par tially wasted.

Will Raise Beef Cattle

By the Associated Press.
IEONARDTOWN, Md, Dec. 27.-
Thrifty Amish farmers who moved
I'd Southern Maryland two years
ago will turn next to raising prime
beef cattle and dairy herds, a
spokesman said today.
ALREADY their Well-stocked barns
are filled with bumper crops of hay,
tobacco, barley, potatoes and wheat.
Two more families recently have
ioined the Amish settlement, the
spokesman, Joseph L. Davis, said.
Other families, hearing of the rich
harvests. are expected to migrate
here in the spring from the Amish
colony near Lancaster, Pa.
The original group came to st.
Narys County after a controversy
over school taxes and compulsory
attendance in centralized schools In
Pennsylvania.
The new families in the colony
are those of Levi Stolzfus and DAN
iefs Zook. They have settled on a
farm near Thompson's Corner and
wiz work it comparatively.
While their men till the land, the
Anish women tend flocks of poultry
ana are enjoying exceptional sue
cess, Mr.. Davis revealed. They sell
thar poultry and their farm pro-
dtsce to local stores.
Next spring the colony intends to
opsn little produce markets on the
Washington Boulevard for their sur
plus.
