O'DanieI Praises
Water Treaty
As Texas Boon

WASHINGTON, April 6. CUP)-
Sen. Lee ODaniel CD Texas, said
in floor debate that ratification
Of the Mexican water treaty is nee
esgary for development of the lower
Rio Grande valley.
AS the senate resumed debate on
the treaty, ODaniel said that Texas
rs almost unanimously of the opin-
ion that the treaty should be rati-
fed because of its beneficial effect
upon the future of Texas and
through Texas, on the future of the
nation
He said there has been no criti-
cism of the treaty sections which
would give the United States az
estimated $4,000 acre feet of Rio
Grande water annually below FIT
Quitman, Texas.
Critics of the sections which would
give Mexico a guaranteed 100000
acre feet e Colorado river water
a year have agreed that the Rio
Grande provisions are excellent fo1
the United States, ODaniel said.
COLORADoAN HITS DISTRICT
Sen. Eugene Millikin tR) Colo
said it would be easy to get the inl-
preston, from the volume of litera-
ture issued by California opponents
to the treaty, that other states were
not concerned by it.
Actually, six other states have
direct and important interest in
the treaty along with California.
Millikan said. California contrib
utes nothing to the Colorado river
He claimed the treaty merely
guaranteed to Mexico the same
amount of water she took from the
Colorado river previous to the con-
struction of Boulder Dam.
Millikin said the Imperial Irriga-
ZION District in southern California
is willing to sell to Mexico the
same amount guaranteed under this
treaty if it can stick in its own
pocket the profits from the tram
saction."
DOWNEY REFUTES CHARGE
Sen. Sheridan Downey CD Calf
objected to Millikins 'generalities
and allegations
Imperial, he said, had made no
net gain by it's sale of water to
Mexico. The government of Mexico
sets the charges which it will pay;
they are so low that the company
makes no profit and cannot even
recover on its investment"
Millikin said that the evidence
shows that Imperial's Mexican SUBJ
salaries get a very substantial
amount"

HEALTH COUNCIL
 PLANS ROUGH TIME FOR RAYS IN CITY 

A program calling for concerted action by all Juneau resident, home owners, apartment dwellers and busi- ness houses, and designed to control land eventually eliminate the rats in and around the city, was last night outlined by James Stone, Sanitarian with the Territorial Health Depart ment at a meeting of the Gastineau Channel Health Council.
 A committee O. representative Juneau people will be named by Trevor Davis, president of the Health Council, who are to formu- late means of making city-wide sanitation survey which will be of value to the City and the public at large
 After sources of food supply for the rats, as well as their breeding places, have been located and elim- mated, the Health Department will do complete follow-up with a program of rat eXtermination by means of poison and other methods in public areas, and make the nec- essary recommendations for exterm- nation in privately owned areas
 It has been estimated that the rodent population of an average city equals that of the human pop ulation and the average cost in food spoilage alone is $200 per year per rat, which would mean an aver age loss to the city of Juneau of about S12,000 to $14,O0o each year.
 In addition to the estimated loss in food spoilage, rats are always potential source of plague, such as bubonic or typhus, and the danger is very real that such plaques can be brought into Juneau by rats on ships coming from infected areas.
 Merely spreading poison around, or setting traps, is not enough, as those are only temporary means and rats soon reappear. The surest way to keep our city free of rats, MT. Stone emphasized. is to keep all sources of food away from the rodents, by such means as making sure all garbage is put into tightly covered metal cans, then properly disposed of, by man. datory means if necessary; make all new construction rat-proof, and so far as possible rat-proof all old con- struction, making breeding places inaccessible to the pests.

 Probably the most significant single act of the board was its resolution to meet the tuberculosis problem. The people of the Terri tory seem to be ill grave ignorance of the danger of this dread disease, thinking it to be a native ailment, which is a great mistake. They do not seem to realize the sad plight of the many tubercular persons here who are in need of aospitalization, medical care and financial aid, he said.

Territory was a letter which was written by former patient of pr. Albrecht's, who is now residing in a small outlying town somewhere in Southeast Alaska. She wrote to him appealing for help, not for her self but for the poor people here" :"
 One-third of the population, which isn't all native, has tuber- culosis, and it is spreading. There is no doctor, nurse, or even beds in which to care for them. As this lady said in her letter: Its pitiful just pulls on ones heart strings to see the children, especially, that must go to certain death just be- cause of neglect"
 Tt may seem," declared Dr. AL brecht, that this matter should be no concern of ours, because it does not affect us personally. This, however, is a definite misconcep- tion, as tuberculosis strikes all people, not just one type or color, but everyone.
 The Federal Employees responded to the speech by motion to have the Executive Committee start a research on this problem to de- termine just what can be done to help.
 Anthony E. Karnes was elected third vice-president, taking over Floyd Fagersons duties.

Again, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is convinced, that the future economic development of Alaska, including its prospects, for trade with Asia, is more
 loosely bound up with the trade and economy of the Pacific Northwest han with the Chicago region.
