 Tn the face of the serious tu- berculosiS problems in Alaska Congress has seen fit to reduce the already meager funds of the Alas ka Native Service for care of tu- berculoSiS. It must be emphasized to those who may be color or race conscious that the tubercle bacil- Jus knows no color line. To those who measure in terms of tax dol lars it must be evident that in the course of years inadequate at tempts at control of tuberculosis are WaSteful."
 The report said a labor market grossly infected with tuberculo- sis in an economic liability" and to the military "it is both a direct impeachment to the efficiency of their forces as well as a demoral- izing factor"
 The physicians recommended that a minimum of 1000 beds be provided at once for tuberculosis patients, including an increase to 220 in Southeastern Alaska by ex- pansion of hospital service or

Rep. Johnson Urges More
 Defense In Alaska

ASHING GTON, (P) - The United States is leaving the back door wide open," Rep. Glen John son D.-OklaD said yesterday as he urged increased military defense in Alaska.
 Tn view of reports by Con- gressmen coming back from Flu rope and of activities in the United Nations, we should strengthen our defense in Alaska on an unpre- cedented scale," Johnson told re- porter.
 If these should be an unexpect- ed attack on Alaska it would be far different from that on Pearl Harbor. At the latter point it was necessary to traverse an ocean. But in Alaska ground forces could be used. It is more important to guard Alaska than it was Pearl HarbOr."
 Johnson expressed the opinion that not only should air strength be increased by that the army's intelligence service should be eX- banded in that area.
 Every strategic point in Alaska should have an adequate air base and there should be strong ground force with mobile units to reinforce troops at any point in event of danger Johnson said.

 The report recommended re- placement of hospitals at Palmer and Valdez, destroyed by fire, construction of a hospital at Sitka; increased facilities at Fairbanks, Anchorage, Ketchikan and Junau and replacement of hospitals at Seward and Nome.
 The physicians said they found eye diseases prevalent among the natives, and added that venereal disease, alcoholism, sanitation, communicable diseases, housing and mental health facilities are problems that must be solved
 They said lack of housing him dered the building of stable por- Ilar.on and added that in addition tc relng "appallingly insufficient v fifty per cent of the houses are substandard.

@. What covering can be applied
to copper screens to prevent the
copper from discoloring white paint?
A. Coat the screening with var
nish, but not SO thick that 1t clogs
the meshes. An alternative is to
use screen enamel, made especially
for this purpose. If you prefer the
varnish. one good mixture is Z. two
parts of top quality spar varnish,
and one part each of linseed oil and
turpentine. A handy way to apply
it is with piece of carpet tackled to
piece of wood, with the pile ex-
posed. Varnish is daubed on the
carpeting, which is then used like
scrubbing brush on. the screen.

will lie in the shortage of skilled
