NAZI-U. S. TENSION IS INCREASING

BERLIN, June - Leland Nor ris, United States Charge d'Af- fairs, discussed the increasingly tense man-American rela- tions at the German Foreign Of- flee, as United States Consulates in Germany and seven conquer ed European nations prepared to close doors at the request of the Nag; Government.
 Many problems urgently re- qure clar;fcation, it is said, in- cluding the sinking of the Am erican freighter Robin Moor and also technical questions involved, including the caring of French and English interests, who will at tend to this work, and what na- ton will look after American in- terests.
 It is estimated that from 75 to 80 American Consular officials and employees are affected by the closing order of United States Consulates.

Claude R. Wichard under auth ority of an act of Congress of February 10, 1927.
 Expecting an added public in- terest in Alaska activities in it's field as result of attention cen- tered on the Territory by na- tional defense developments, the Secretary said he felt there was need at this time to appoint an overall representative in the Territory.
 The Commissioners chief dut- ies are to coordinate and rear range the activities of the Depart men as may be found advantag- eous. He will assist Agriculture Department bureaus in strength ening their administration or ex- { e n d ing legitimate activities where advisable.

Missouri Out Entirely

The Department has received word that the entire Federal Ma tcr9al and Child Health appro- priation for the State of Missouri, has been cancelled this year on grounds that State officials have not met Social Security Board standards.
 The Alaska slash undoubtedly will mean drastic reduction in the amount of venereal disease control drugs which will be dis tributed next year, as well as a curbing of the activities of the Tuberculosis Clinician, whose travel funds will be affected. A badly-needed Laboratory Techni- clan in the Anchorage lab will also be have to be dispensed with.

 Japan is member of the Axis but also has a friendship pact with Russia.
 It seems evident that no i'm mediate move will be made by Japan in the international situa- tion which confronts the Nippon Kingdom.

ALASKA HEALTH FUNDS SLASHED IN WASHINGTON

Due to failure of the Territory to appropriate adequate match ing funds, the United States Pub lie Health Service has cut the ap- oropriation of the Alaska Depart ment of Health for fiscal 1922 (beg;nning July l. 194l) approXi- mstely S14.O00 below the present years budget.
 Dr. Courtney Smith. Assistant Commissioner of Health, receiv- ed from Surgeon General Thom- as Parran notification that the Territorial Department will re- ceive only $33. 3.400 under Title VI of the Social Security Act and S6, 200 of a special venereal dis ease fund, as compared 10 budget requests of $44,625 and $1O,140 respectively.
 Further Cut
 Even the $6, 200 allowed for ve- nereal disease control cannot be used by the. Department, as its use depends upon the Territory putting up one half that much in addition. The Legislature appro- pri'ated $2,5O0 for the purpose, SC only $5,000 of the Federal appro- priation will be available.
 In view of the increased respon abilities of the Department, part cularly those brought about by the great increase in population at national defense centers, the funds cut is considered most un- fortunate.
