In a telegram sent this week
to President Truman, the Natl
Urban League expressed serious
concern over the difficulties now
facing the nation in housing, and
strongly urged him to act imme-
diately in support of the program

feels, would destroy our promises
to the American veteran and to
the nation.
The National Housing Agency
now under the able leadership of
Mr.. Wyatt, has consistly express

the Veterans Emergency Program

Lodge property. Both parties must

Epidemic In Anchorage

A diphtheria epidemic of grave proportions hit Anchorage this week and a wire was received here Tuesday from Dr c.

Travel from Anchorage and Fort Richardson was im- mediately restricted, theatres closed and other measures taken to halt the spread of the dis ease.
 No cases have been reported in Kodiak, Dr. A. Holmes John- son, city health officer, reports. A shipment of diphtheria serum was awaited on yesterdays plane, as Kodiak's last supply had been loaned 10 the Navy during the Unga epidemic
 The percentage of adults who would possibly contract diph- the ia would be small, Dr. John- son said, but he recommends that children under l2 be safe- guarded by diphtheria immuniz- ation, especially babies over C months of age. The immuniza- ton in most cases lasts inde6n- itely and can be checked later as to permanency.
 Dr. Johnson said he plans to take throat cultures of all food handlers as precautionary measure.

Bond Voting Postponed

The election on revenue bonds for a cold storage site and plant, originally scheduled for Sept. 10. has been postponed to an indehn- ite date to allow more informa- tion on revenue bond elections to be obtained.
 It appears now, city officials say, that the law requires that a majority of voters registered will have to approve the bond issue before it can carry. Ia other elections a majority of those vot- ing usually applies.
 Officials point out that with the large number of people who were registered in the last gener- al election no longer being rcsid- ents that it may be difficult to get the necessary number out for special election. A new date, which will enable fishermen re- sidents 10 participate in the election, will be set later.
