 It has become a commonplace of those who make pretense of keeping up with the news of the world that certain situations abroad too com plicated to follow, and anyway are of no personal On the first count they right, partly so: on the second, they may be kidding themselves
 Greece is a case in point. Whether he realizes it not, every American taxpayer has small Gtake n Greece result of the U. S. program to aid that country. Therefore, what happens there is of con- to his pocketbook. And lot of things can happen.
 For several days week period of several months The Enquirer has been running and back ground stories from Greece by M, w. Fodor dean of Central European and Balkan correspondents. He is generally acknowledged by his fellow correspondents to be the best informed writer in the field He knows Greece well most of know the back of our hands
 Barring the proper names, which we must admit are Greek to too, there is nothing complicated about Fodors stories They simply and clearly written and within the comprehension of any literae person His most recent dispatch from Athens makes two points: 1b There is civil the northern frontiers of the country brought about by pressure could not put a stop to. t2) government has not yet been formed
 Fodor quotes Greek leader who witnessed the temporizing of the politicians over the formation of new government as saying that they reminded him of the who tried to sell the first floor of the house while the roof fire.

ALASkA'S HEALTH PROBLEMS

Dr. w. T. Harrison U. s. Pubic Health Service, feels that the Federal government must give more support and financial aid to Alaska if the Territory is to solve or dent it's tremendous health prob lens in tuberculosis venereal disease sanitation and lack of hospital facilities.
 According to Territorial Commissioner of Health Dr. C. Earl Albrecht team of doctors representing the American Medical Association which surveyed Alaska recently the request of Secretary of the Interior J A. Krug also was appalled, at the tuber- culoss rate of Alaska and Terrtorys inability to cope with the problem
 Aaskans according to pr. Albrecht, doing their part in attacking these vexing health problems. He has pointed out that on a per capita basis Alaskans are spending much more for health than the average among the various States.
 But we still unable to make any progress
 In other words both Dr. Albrecht and other medi- cal authorities believe that the problems too big for the Territory to handle and Alaska must have special financial help from the Federal government if any progress is to be made
 As a Territory under Federal control Alaska has right expect that aid especially in view of the fact that Alaskans paying more toward public health than the average American elsewhere
 However. it is difficult for members of Congress to understand that Alaska does need such financial aid in view of the fact that Alaskan officials and citizens out statehood regardless of the con sequences insist upon minimizing the Ierrltorys financial shortcomings In fact they have been asking Congress for heavy financial burdens in requesting transfer of certain Federal functions to Territorial control
 As Territory Federal responsibility, but as State we would be Some like to make much of the fact that State we would have two. Senators and Representative, suggesting that this small delegation would be able to secure vast sums of Federal money for the State. This is fancy not fact
 As a Territory getting much more atten- tion from the members of Congress and as Territory and a Federal responsibility Alaskan problems are getting much attention in Washington than they would if they competing with the problems of 43 States.

GERMAN ESPIONAGE ?

GERMAN ESPIONAGE ? !?
 Last month bob Allen threw penetrating light on the brass hating of Gen. John Court House" Lee, U. s. Commander in Italy. Among other things, Colonel Allen told how General Lee, in charge of supplies in l944, had de- layed delivery of Christmas mail to men in the front lines.
 Since then. a CT who helped handle this mail has sent amaz- ing details as to how the l944 Christmas mail was handled Here is the story:
 The l7th Base Post Office with more than 1000 men" he says, moved out of Cherbourg to better
 quarters in Paris, leaving the Xmas mail to be handed by the 18th Postal Regulating Section = .an outfit composed of only about Is men. To help them the 17th Base Post Office left behind about 2 privateS. making total of 35 men to handle what 1000 men had handled before.
 Naturally it was incncsc!r,5 for this small outfit to handle the deluge of mail, so the higher com mand detailed several hur,ired German prisoners to help.
 Each sack of mail had a label with the name of the outfit to which it was to be sent. The Ger man prisoners would pull the sacks over to an American soldier, who would call out the name of the outfit. Another American soldier held a list market SECRET, con- tsining the exact whereabouts of each regiment or battalion at the front And he would call out the routing of the sack to another soldier who would mark the des- tination latel.
 All this was done with Ger man prisoners watching and list ening Many of them could speak English, and frequently it seemed to me they were over-curious about their work. Their task was to pile up the sacks Of mail, all the sacks in one pile going to one place. Thus 1t was easy to see merely
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-09-15

from the size of the pile of mail sacks where the preponderance of U. s. troops were. And if a large infantry units mail suddenly ap- peared on pile. it was quite clear that new troops were being moved up to the front.
 Tt will always be my opinion that the storing up of this 1944 Xmas mail into these piles offered the enemy typographical map showing the strength and weak
