new language by a method perfected
by the Bell Telephone Laboratories
here. The tubes not only write in
instantaneous light, but also print
the new form of language on paper
The new language is useful for the
totally deaf and also will aid deaf
children to learn how to speak SO
that they can be understood.
The electronic robots write also
music, noise, dialect Any language
whatever and bird songs. They can
write across ten thousand miles of
ordinary telephone circuit as easily
as in the same room. They could be
used for automatic telephone record
ing, except that it takes a person
about two years to learn this new
language. But the translator is a
new tool for analysing sound of all
kinds and correcting both the speech
faults of human beings and the me-
chanical failures of transmitted

President Harry Truman at the
White House.
The world can never repay the
debt which it owes to The Saliva
tion Army. It's beneficient work has
spread all over the world since its
courageous founder, General William
Booth, started the organization to
minister to those whose story he af-
forwards told in a book that startled
the civilized world, In Darkest Eng
land and the Way OUT. In him
the submerged tenth" of the East
End of London found a firm friend.
Happily the work of evangelization
which General Booth began there
in 1865 has never lost the spirit
which he infused into it. That is
why it remains to this day one of
the most powerful spiritual forces
in the world. God grant that its
good work may grow and prosper as
the years pass"
Very sincerely yours,

TO Be Match ed

The recent establishment of a
Crippled Childrens Association in
Anchorage was termed "a significant
step toward raising urgently needed
funds for the Alaskan Crippled
Children's program" according TO a
statement issued by the Territorial
Department Of Health.
The Anchorage association is the
first and parent organization OF
such volunteer civic groups proposed
in a resolution passed by the Alaska
Board of Health at its first meeting
in September.
Representatives from a number OF
interested organizations in Anchor
age have formed a committee under
the Craftsmanship of Mrs. Marshal
Hoppin, to organize for the purpose
of collecting funds to be sent into
the Territorial Department of Health
headquarters at Juneau. This
money viii be used to match monies
issued by the Federal government
for the care OF orthopedlc cases IN
Alaska. AT the moment there is
available $4,000 in matching funds
from the Federal government which
cannot be used because the Territory
is unable to match this money.
Funds raised through the Territory
Crippled Children's Associations or
from other donations can be match
ed dollar for dollar when channeled
through the official agency at Ju-
neau.
Specialized Attention
1t is expected that now the An
chorage association is underway,

as sponsoring headquarters for such
volunteer groups.
Lack of funds has been major
problem in connection with the care
of all Alaskan children who would
benefit from specialized orthopedic
attention, although the Territorial
Legislature appropriates $4,000 for
the care of such cases each bien-
mum. On the average, 40 Alaskan
children are hospitalized at ortho-
redic hospitals in Seattle annually
under the Territory's Crippled
Childrens program, and there is
presently a waiting list of rs chill
dren. The cost of maintaining these
patients in Seattle hospitals is more
than $500 each month-due in part
to transportation expenses.
Care In Territory
The Alaskan Crippled Children's
association, if spread widely through
out the Territory, would not only be
able to aid considerably in raising
funds to match Federal monies for
the medical attention in Seattle of
children suffering from GRIPPING,
deforming, or other handicapping
but could also initiate
care Of orthopedic cases within the
Territory, includes disqualification,
homes, and probably
several rehabilitation centers.
If funds allow it, education ma
terisls toward preventing Gripping
conditions will also be distributed in
every community in Alaska.
Since 1897 the Division of Ma
ternal and Child Health and Grip
pied Children's Services of the Terri
torial Department of Health has
been responsible for the medical care
Of crippled children including the
maintenance of contract beds in
the Children's Orthopedic Hospital
in Seattle and in the Swedish Hos
pital for older children. The Health
contracts for the services
Of four surgeons on the staffs of
these hospitals for care of Alaskan
children admitted, and pays the
and hospital expenses
of these children. A full time med
ical social worker is also maintained
in the Orthopedic hospitals.

premier sent his own physician to
attend the Filipino general for an
illness which Roxas said was mostly
feigned.
"The japanese applied strong
pressure to get me into the Philip
pines government" Gen. Roxas said.
II argued insistently that I had
taken an oath of allegiance to the
United States and the Filipino peo-
pie we're fully aware of my position.
"They would say that I either was
a traitor or didn't have the courage
of my convictions. I told the Japa-
nese that in either case-whether
the people thought I was q traitor
or q coward-I would lose my fol-
lowers and the Japanese purpose
would be defeated"
Roxas said he was never subjected
to physical abuse except that the
japanese would never let him sleep
when they were putting the pres
sure on.
"They would question me for two
or three days and nights until I was
exhausted" he explained. Then

never obscured the men who made

in a determination which did not

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18-
Japan's Asia for Asiatics" cam
paign has failed because of inaction
of the government, the japanese
Domei news agency charged today.
Used as a slogan to rally occupied

the Tokyo radio said in broadcast

The Greater East Asia slogan was
adopted in Tokyo in l943 under the

Gen. Roxas learned that his exc

Meat Famine Closes
Five Arcade Stands,
One at Center Marke'
Chain Stores Losing
Butchers as Supplies
Become Scorcer

Five of the oldest meat stands
in Arcade Market have closed for
lack of supplies and a sixth stand
has stopped operations in New
Center Market, it was learned
today as the District OPA re-
ported all meat supplies scarce
for both retailers and whole
salers.
The marketmaster at New Center
Market summed up the situation
for most of the city's meat dealers
by saying that butchers at his mar
ket were standing around doing
nothing" He said they were re-
ceiving each week only enough meat
to last a day.
Poultry stands at both markets
have been closed for some time.
Butchers Leaving.
An official of one chain grocery
store said the company was having
difficulty keeping its butchers as
they were no longer earning over
time pay.
I'VE can't see any hope for relief
in the near future" this official
commented. TT is very sad pic
ture."
The marketmaster's Office at Ar
cade said the following meat stands
had closed: P. F.. Casey, E. T. Good
man, Carl H. Noe, Carl Goodman
and E, w. Green. Only meat stands
remaining open there are those also
selling groceries.
The OPA's survey of the food sit
uation here showed these items listed
as scarce: Beef, veal, lamb, bacon
pork loins, fresh ham, smoked and
cured hams, fresh shoulder, other
pork cuts, canned meat. Unrationed
sausage, which last week had been
in normal supply, now is listed as
short.
Other Items Scarce.
Not as scarce as meats, but still
listed as short" were most cheeses,
canned milk, shortening and oil and
margarine.
Only sugar and butter are in nor
NAL supply here, the OPA said.
It was learned yesterday that the
city's third meat slaughterer had
closed down for an indefinite period
and that one large meat-packing
plant had given 80 of its employees a
