 PLEADING FOR MORE MONEY
Wants House Slash oi S8t9,000 Restored
 for Alaska Service

WASHINGTON, May 10.-iR-- Dr. c. Earl Albrecht of Juneau says Alaska faces a serious set back in it's campaign against tu- berculosis unless the House slash of S819,000 in funds for the Alaska Native Service is restored.
 Dr. Albrecht, Health Commis- sioner of the Territory, testified to Senate Appropriations sub- committee yesterday that Alaska is a very desirable place to live but the tuberculosis death rate lis nine times that of the United States
 The Alaskan doctor said there are an estimated 4,000 tubercular patients in Alaska and that some 400 hospital beds now used for their care must be cut back if the House cut goes unchanged.
 He said such action would spread the disease among both natives and others.
 Senator Dworshak (R-Idaho) told other members of the Sen ate group that as House mem Ter he had visited Alaska in 1945 and seen the very fine work that +Dr. Albrecht is doing there. ]"
 Other Senators asked why Alaska should not increase taxes to off, set the Federal reduction.
 Alaska's Governor replied that Territory taxpayers now are con- tributing about $44O,00O a year for these purposes, many times the amount they paid a few years ago.
 The House voted the Alaska Ma tive Service $3,250,000 of a budget recommendation of $4,069,000.

DEVIGHNE5 HERE
 ON BRIEF VISIT
 AFTER F YEARS
Prominent Doefor and Wife Fly 10 Juneau fo Re-
 main for Week

Dr. H. c. DeVignne, for years one of Juneaus lest known and prominent physicians surgeons, ar rived in Juneau yesterday after noon, accompanied by Mrs. De- Vighne, for a weeks visit here to meet oldtime friends and also re- new acquaintances with scores of others with whom he attended at birth.
 The DeVighnes were met at the airport by w. s. Pullen and they will be the houseguests of the Pullens during their brief visit here.
 The DeVighnes left Juneau in 1885 and since then he has been practicing in Santa Barbara, Calif., although when he. left Juneau he planned to retire. During the war he was with the Public Health Ser vice.
 Unexpected royalties from Dr. DeVighne's widely read book, Time of My Life,' changed his original plans to attend Medical Asso- ciation convention in New York, to the spontaneous one to return to Juneau for a real vacation, he tells friends He looks fine, ditto for Mrs. DeVighne.
 The DeVighnes drove up the coast from Santa Barbara to Seattle in their own car in two and one half days. Being unable to secure steamer accommodations, they ob- tained last-minute reservations on the PA plane, arrived yesterday afternoon.
 One of the big thrills of the trip flying north was finding Keith Petrich, one of his babies" piloting the big DC-4 plane. He experienced other thrills in Seattle, meeting with Mrs. Ali (Helen) Monsen, Mrs. Jennie Parker and daughter, Janette, another one of his numerous babies"
 Dr. DeVighne was taken for short ride around Juneau yester- day afternoon by Pullen and was surprised at the growth of Ju- neau during the past 12 years. His old home, he said, looks natural, Fifth and Franklin, now occupied by Dr. w. P. Blanton and family.
 Years ago Dr. DeVighne estap- lished what is now the popular Taku Lodge. It was called the Twin Glacier Camp and weekend parties were enjoyed there by Ju- neauites and tourists. Dr. De- Vighne transported his guests to the camp via the Mud Hen and Sand Flea, two wellknown craft in those days.
 Columns could be written about Dr. DeVighne during his profess sional days in Juneau, all interest ing facts, and there are modestly related in his book Time of My Life
 The DeVighnes will be busy dur ing their brief visit here renewing acquaintances and making new ones.

KALAMAZOO. Mich. June B. H-There's movement on i'll the National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ,iation, partly as a result of pre- ininary events in the current base ball championship to overhaul the entire system of districting.
 Navy, for instance, is in District Three. the Southern group. but through a misunderstanding Coach Max Bishop was invited to attend She District Two selection meeting because the midshipmen play mostly m Eastern schedule. The result was that Navy, which was eager to bust into the tourney, was left out en- tirely.
 There are few other cases around she country where schedules and geography don't agree and the col legts-. suffer by losing chances to shine in national tournaments.
 The loss of Navy probably cost that Southern tournament at Char otte N. C.. a few bucks at the gate, wen though it took in $4,500 in three days.
