Dr. George Hays, who has been executive director of the Territorial Department of Health since his loan to Alaska from the U. S. Public Health Service in the fall of 1922 is leaving Alaska this week with mission accomplished. We know that good many AlaskanS share our regret that Dr. Hays is leaving. He has accomplished a great deal in the way of solving Alaskan health problems.
 His primary objective when he left high position in Michigan accept his S4600 year Alaska job was to set up in the Territory Department of Health, directed by Alaskans headed by a full time Comms- sioner of Health This became an accomplished fact after the last session of the Legislature.
 But it was also through the efforts of Dr. Hays that Alaska secured its first tuberculosis sanorum and that comprehensive study is being undertaken to determine the extent of Aaskas health needs in order that the facts may be placed before Congress
 Dr. Hays started work towards securing tuber- culosis sanitorium about year ago, when it was at Skagway a 150. bed hospital, valued at about a million dollars by the Army Dr. Hays travelled through miles of red tape--to Whitehorse, Edmonton and Washington D. C. The outcome that the hospital was turned over to the Territory without cost.
 Application for the transfer made through the Advisory Committee Health, Welfare and Education, purely official group made up of repre- lminary study on health needs in Alaska conducted by Dr. Hays and Dr. Carl Buck. When money was requested from Congress to pay part of the cost o operating the hospital the Committee of the Budget baked, since Alaska had only part-time health

crease its grip on aluminium.
 Attorney General Riddle finally stepped into tho ALCOA battle and threw his weight behind little-busi ness-defender Sturges ... Riddle reminded the Board that Congress, in setting up the Surplus Property Board had ruled against any con- cern which the Attorney General considered a monopoly. ALCOA, said Riddle, was exactly that This seemed to be conclusive But another backstage fight fol- lowed Some Board members objected to naming ALCOA by name in the order withholding its machine tools. They won their point The final order merely re- ferred to companies making alum mum and alumina ... Day after this order was issued-June 7-the Board held a secret session and adopted regulations by which little business-protector Sturges was bar red from further meetings Sturges was not present to object Then the Board wrote up it's minutes making it appear that he was present -. Sturges, however, has registered protest, making it clear that he did not concur in barring himself from Board meet ings.
 Interesting aftermath is Colonel Howse's attempt to get a new Gen. eral Counsel replacing Sturges Discouraged, the latter wanted to go back to Yale-but not until Oc- tober. Not waiting until then Howse rushed to pick Col. Joe Johnston of Birmingham, Ala, son of famous Liberty Leaguer Tourney Johnston, to whom the big utilities paid large amounts to fight the Tennessee. Valley Authority .. Colonel Johnston, law partner ot his father and seeing things the same way, actually called or Sturges to say he was replacing him as General Counsel ever though Sturges wasn't leaving until October :. But alert Senator Lis ter Hill of Alabama heard about it Lister knew all about the Johnston family in Alabama He phoned War Mobilizer Fred Vinson. That was the end of that :. Johnston will not be General Counsel of the Surplus War Property Board !.
 So rages the battle of big business vs. little business. Before it is over it will cause Harry Truman more headaches than anything he ever investigated in his heyday as Sen ator-unless he moves in to clean it up.
 Adding fuel to the flames mean while is the appointment of mon- opolist w. Stuart Symington of St Louis to be Surplus Property Chair man Not only has he beer cited by a federal judge for vio- lating the Sherman Antitrust Act but some interesting letters writer by him have now turned up . Symington believed in writing let

 Perhaps you are little too def mite in point 4, when you state is to establish sales prices and meth- ods? This is the kind of state- ment Broussard might use in wrong fashion of his ignorance of the great importance of masking the vehicular development. Kindly de- stroy this letter" All of which leads some Senators to wonder what chance little business will have under the new Surplus Prop erty Chairman.

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Herman Bundesen

THE sulfonamide drugs have
l. more than proven their
worth and have saved many
lives by combating variety Of
infections. But, as with other
drugs. the use OF these prepa-
rations is not without some
danger, especially II taken with
out the doctors guidance. II
has been found that certain
patients may be sensitive 10 the
sulfonamide drugs. Should the
drugs be administered TO these
patients, severe reactions may
occur.
According 10 DR. Francis A.
Ellis OF Maryland, sensitivity TO
sulfonamide drugs, particularly
TO sulfathiaZole, may develop
from its use on the skin. in the
form OF an ointment. or in the
form OF drops put into the nose.
He has seen number OF
patients who were shown by
the patch test 10 be sensitive
OF sulfathiazole
THE patch test is made by
L placing some OF the sui
fathiaZole on a small piece OF
gauze which is fastened 20 the
skin with adhesive tape for a
hours. a person who is sensi-
tive 10 the drug will develop a
red area, within "a hours.
where the sulfathiazole came in
contact with the skin. Some
patients have d eve oped a
severe inflammation of the skin
Immediately after they took
Ilfathiazole internally. For
his reason. il is suggested that
sulfathiazole should not be used
for a period longer than five
days, except when necessary.
Sulfathiazole ointment some
times is used for skin eruptions
known as eczema. DR.. Ellis
does not believe this advisable,
since the drug is OF no value in
these patients and may produce
sensitivity. Other-doctors may
advise il IL there is infection
present. Another reason why
sulfathiazole should not be used
over long periods of time is that
such use may make the patient
over-sensitive and then later on,
when he needs sulfonamide
drugs for a more serious con-
dition, he will be unable TO take
them.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-04

IT IS therefore concluded that
i sulfathiaZole DIN m s
should be used only for a short
period Of time, and then only
when there is present some aC-
tive infection that is known 10
respond 10 this form OF treat
-rncnt. II Is not a good plan
10 put the sulfathiazole into an
ointment base which contains
such fatty substances as lanolin
or ch olesterol, since these
things may increase the pos
sibility Of Sensitization 10 the
sulfathiaZole.
II would appear that sui
fathiazole preparations should
not be used except as the ply
sician directs. He will decide
when one Of the sulfonamide
drugs is necessary. and which
one Of the many now available
will do the most good and pro-
duce the least reactions.
The important thing 10 bear
in mind is, I repeat, that con-
tinued use of fonam d p
preparations may produce "A
sensitivity so that their ad-
ministration later on results in
a severe reaction.

Roosevelt, Gen. Chang Kai-shek
and Prime Minister Churchill
agreed, at the Cairo conference,
that territories which ] apan
has stolen from the Chinese,
such as Manchuria, Formosa and
the Pescadores. shall be restored
to the Republic of China"
II was furthermore stated
that these three Allies, mind
full of the enslavement of the
people of Korea are determined
that in due course Korea shall
become free and independent"
IF THESE declarations of the
L Cairo Conference are to be
realized without challenge, it
is necessary that they now be
strengthened by definite and APP
propriate political actions.
The American army and
navy are the only present mill
tary forces prepared to strike
down the Japanese aggressors
in this part of the Far East.
The costly success of their
arms will be impaired or lost
by the lack of a definite policy
for the national reorganization
of the territories and the
peoples for whose liberation our
troops will have to fight very
hard.
The situation calls for two
formal actions-a treaty with
the Republic of China guaran-
teeing the restoration of all
Chinese territory that will be
freed by American arms. and
the recognition of Korea's in
dependence party.
Treaty engagements should
also assure the trade and eco
nomic development that should
accompany these restorations.

IT DOES not really matter
Il whether the Russians have
one or three votes.
Those two extra votes simply
establish the CurZon Line as the
boundary between Russia and
Poland by international consent.
And in the end, who really
cares?
Obviously with Teheran and
Yalta to bind San Francisco,
what else could have been done?
But for the record, il needs to
be said that if the Ukrainians
and White Russians are entitled
to a vote, so are the Walloons,
the Basques, the Scots, the
Welsh, the Croats and the Ye-
menites. And even more so, the
Puerto Ricans and Virgin
Islanders.
In fact. nearly every country
can be split up as the Russians

For, mind you, the district OF
the Ukraine east of the Dnieper
became Russian in 1856. and
west of that river in 1898, which
is much longer than Louisiana

racial characeristics), Ukrain-
ianS. Poles and Jews.
This area was part Of the
Kiev principality as far back as
the ninth century; therefore 1t
is Russian at least that long.
In the wars of Europe, it was
held for a time by Lithuania in
the thirteenth century; then it
went 10 Poland and it finally re-
turned TO Russia during the
various partitions of Poland be-
tween 1772 and 1895.

AS WAR with Germany APP
"A proaches its end, American
preparations increase for the
defeat of Japan.
Southern Okinawa has not
been captured, nor the Philip
pines been wholly cleared of the
japanese invaders, but these
preliminaries are nearly COM
pleted for the great attack by
which jar pan will be over
whelmed.
We do not know where the
great blow, organized by Gen.
Macarthur and Admiral Nimitz,
will fall.
Earlier expectations saw an
amphibious landing on the coast
of southern China.
If it is planned to capture the
island of Formos between
Luzon and Okinawa, this inva-
sion may come next, and if For
mosa were gained. anything else
might happen.
Even a direct invasion of one
of the large islands of Japan
such as Kyushu, may be among
the possibilities.
But what would seem to be a
much easier operation and one
hardly less disastrous TO Japan,
would be a landing within the
Yellow Sea or on the peninsula
of Shantung. All we can be sure
of is that NimitZ and Macarthur
are shaping a great undertaking
and wherever the blow falls, the
war will be brought very close
