PLANS GO FORWARD
FOR MASS CHEST X-RAYs

At a meeting of Wrangell's Pub lie Health Council last Monday evening at the Health Center plans went forward for tba mass chest E-rays to be given here this month.
 The netting was presided over by ahe Rev. Nj. E. Hoch. chairman of the Health Council.
 Miss Lois Jund, of the Territor- iol Department of Health was pres ent to instruct heads of the yari- ous committees on the prOcedurt bringing to the people of Nrangell the importance of having these X-rays as a safeguard against the further development of tubercul- osis.
 'Tuberculosia is no respeetor of persons" Miss JUnd pointed out, il strikes the rich as well as the poor and in many cases persons do not suspect they have they disease uu- til it has gone into very advanced stages
 It was also mentioned that dur ing the mass X-rays if any other ailments of heart or lung were found the patient would be inform ed and referred to his physician.
 Int X-rays are free and will be given at the Civic Center. They are a matter of only a few minutes of a persons time and science has the equipment down TOW to wtere 1t is unnecessary to disrobe for taking the picture. As it was ex- plained, the person simply stands in front of the X-ray and presto. the picture is taken.
 Movies will be shown approxf> .nately one week before the week of the mass X-ray. George Fabrf- cius is in charge of this part of the program. Frank Denny is chairman of the publicity committee and Mrs Charles Esliek is head of fhs appointment committee. Irs. Leon ard M.

sponsible. The tuberculosis rate is sixteen times that of the United States among natives, nine times among whites. A large part of the population exists without medical care of any kind.
 6-Alaskans pay federal income tax but get none of it back for Territorial expenses. Road apprO- priations allowed for other Terri tories are non-existent here. Ere quently even appropriations ear marked by Congress for Alaska have been arbitrarily diverted by federal bureaus.

Land of Contrasts

He who attempts to make gen. eral statements about Alaska is likely to get tangled in his own typewriter, because the region is so vast and so full of antipodal contrasts, both in climate and economy. Nonetheless some such statements, based upon testimony before the Crawford committee and upon several dozen personal interviews, seem to be necessary, so here goes:
 1-Alaskans as a whole are as American as hamburger. They are cosmopolite, excellent hosts, and rapidly gaining an active political consciousness.
 2-Alaska, the Territory, is al- most as wide open and undevel- oped as it was when purchased from Russia eighty years ago. An area twice the size of the state of Texas has only some 80,000 year round residents, something over one-half of whom are whites.
 3-It pays heavy tribute to ab- sentee ownership. Both the salmon industry, largest in the Territory, and the coastal shipping upon which the Territory must depend for its supplies and both almost entirely Seattle-owned. Both are monopolstic and subject to the evils thereof. 1n large sense the Territory is, in the words of pr. Charles E. Bunnell. president of

A tangle of literally scores of federal bureaus in a govern ment in which the Territory has no full-fledged representa- i n yields arbitrary power over pub lie and private lives of Alaska citizens to a degree that would cause virtual armed revolt over night in Colorado or Michigan.
 5-Alaska has a health situa- ton that is a crying disgrace to the federal government, which un- der Territorial status is mainly re-

One Hearing Thorough

Such problems enter into and dominate any discussion of Alaska statehood. In examining them some of this years Congressional visitors followed the normal" junketeers' pattern, and some did not. Among the former must be listed the Senate public lands com mittee headed by the white-haired Omaha grain broker, Hugh But Ter. Senator Butler stated upon ar rival that he was not in favor of Alaska statehood, that he would hold only brief, informal hearings. The itinerary disclosed that the committee would spend four days at Mount Mckinley National park.
 Alaskans proceeded to entertain the Butler committee with some relief. Just a day or two ahead of this group had passed another Congress ional group whose strange passion for hard work had been something of a shock.
 This was a fOur-man SubcOm- mittee on public lands from the House committee on territories and inSular affairs. It's chairman was Representative Fred L. CraW- ford, a Republican and banker from SagniaW, Mich. With Repre- sentatives Jay LeFevre of New York, William A. Dawson of Utah, and Edward J. Jenison of Illinois Gall RepublicanS-the two Demo- cratic members of the committee were unable to make the trip), wire recorder, a secretary, and an

abundance of energy, the commit tee arrived at Whittier aboard an army transport and began majY hearings at Anchorage, the Terri torys largest town.
 From there on through a $500 mile tour hearings were held early and late. All testimony was trans C"ibed, and will undoubtedly fur nsh the largest body of source material for both Houses of Con gress to delve into when they come to answer the big double-barreled question:
 ''ls Alaska ready for Statehood, and if so, how far will statehood go toward erasing the tremendous harrierS to full development of this noW-vital territory"
 Anchorage Favors Ii
 During three days of hearings in Anchorage, the Crawford com mittee found unanimous and per suasive sentiment on the side of statehood Not a single opposing witness appeared.
 Considerable opposition appear ed, however, at Fairbanks, where the mining interests and A. E. (Cap) Lathrop, the Territory's ag- ing bachelor capitalist, are known to remain strongly in favor of the status quo.
 Through the good offices of General Craig and Lieut. Co.'s Clayton Wells and M. M. Irvine ot his staff, the writer was permitted to join the committee at Fairbanks for long swing by army plane 10 Point Barrow, Nome, Kodiak Island, COrdova and back to the capital at Juneau.
 At the village of Barrow on the springy tundra at the shore of the Arctic ocean and l,200 miles from the north pole, several Well-spok- en war veteran ESkimos discussed statehood gravely. But they were much more concerned with the threatened closure of the only hos pital in an area which has the highest tuberculosis rate in the hemisphere.
 At Nome is was much the same
The Nome nugget., 1947-10-24

story as at dlrDdnkS, lnOuSif statehood proponents were quick to point out that mining interests have an economic stake in the matter. Alaska, as a Territory, as yet has no general property tax and thus huge areas of potential mining claims can be withheld from settlement, where it might be feasible, or from other usese with out expense to the companies.
 A single, five and one-half hour flight, once again on instruments and through icing conditions, took the group from the rather de- cadent subarctic mining town only l60 miles from Russian terri tory back to the temperate climes at Kodiak, where there is cattle pasture the year around.
 Industry Needed
 In this lively town, site of the navy's main Alaska headquarters and the "only community recrea- tional center in Alaska" there is a loud and inSistent demand for the full rights of citizenship.
 The same is true to varying de- greeS over the whole southeastern l Alaska coast, which has the great est proportion of population. The | capital city, Juneau, has a strong representation in the opposing camp because the Seattle-oWned 1 fishing industry, like the mining companies, doesn't like the state hood idea at all.
 This is not to infer, however that all the Territory's opponents , to statehood take their stand be- l hind their own pOcketbOOkS. There is, for example, Charley Gold l stein, v, an internationally Juneau furrier.
 What we need is industry - year round work to support big ger population. The prospect of a big pulpwood development is the most hopeful sign this Territory has had in many years. We need industry, not statehood Statehood brings bigger taxes, and drives industry away"
 To which sort of argument MT. Ernest Gruening, who is generally considered already as the most progressive governor the Territory ever had, replies thus:
 The present situation in Alas ka, after so many years of Terri torial rule, speaks for itself. What foundation is there for hope that the situation will improve without such drastic change as actual statehood?"

Hires Drop But
Labor Mart Firm

Washington, D. c. = Although
hiring in manufacturing indus
tries dropped to rate of 40 per
1000 employees in February, the
lowest for that month since 1941,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.
S. Department of Labor, reported
that this nevertheless indicates an
active labor market.
Because February is shorter
calendar work month the labor
turnover rates normally decline.
The quit rate of 81 per 1000 is
about five times the prewar rate.
But job shifting was substantially
lower in February.
Lay-off rates declined for manu-
featuring as a whole. Sizable in
creases in lay-offs were reported
in the food and tobacco groups.
Smaller increases were noted in
the nonferrous metals, stone, clay
and glass groups. The lay-off rate
in the meat products industry was
nearly doubled primarily because
of the observance of Lent and the
seasonal livestock shortages. Heavy
inventories in tobacco curtailed
production schedules causing lay

Buffalo, N. Y.-The party held
by Local Union 76 on May End
was a huge success from every
angle. Seldom have the members
expressed themselves in such out
spoken words of praise for the eff
forts put forth by the committee
who handled the arrangements.
Johnny Urban and his orchestra
were at their best furnishing the
kind of music that puts that old
"hep" feeling in the legs of pot
ters after hard day at the shop.
Topping off the evenings festi-
vities was the appearance of Presi-
dent James M. Duffy and National
Secretary Chas. F. Jordan, who
were in Buffalo taking up several
grievances with the firm. Both Of
ficials were loud in their praise of
of the evenings fun and appreci-
ated the opportunity which enabled
them to attend the party, especial
ly President Duffy who happens to
be member of Local Union 76.
With the general election being
held on the same evening, it mark
ed the first time since Brother
Duffy assumed office that he was
able to cast his ballot in his own
local.
Both officials were called upon
for remarks and very ably respond
ed, reminding their listeners that
it was an evening for entertain
ment and cut their talks short.
The committee on arrangements
for the party included Thomas
chairman; Ray Woods, CO.
refreshments, Carl
White, Len White, and Julia Weav-
er.
We take this means of extend
ing a special vote of thanks to the
firm for their cash donation to help

are sure our representatives are
very capable to meet their task and
certainly well qualified to repre-
sent our interests.-O. C. 76.
