Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health is back at his desk in the Territorial Depart mant of Health after an extensive and intensive trip to the States. He left Juneau in November to attend the annual convention of American Public Health Association at Cleve- land, Ohio While at the conven- tion he spent considerable time interviewing prospective personnel for the Territorial Department of Health
 At the close of the convention Dr. Albrecht left for Washington, D. c. to attend the meeting of State and Territorial Health off
 cers. At this meeting he was ap pointed to the Committee Of States Relations and to -Committee on Tuberculosis Control The group made recommendations tc the Fed eral Government for improy ycment of Federal Health Services.

 OrtnOpsuIc Eospi.ai
 While in Washington one Of pr. Abr scht's first conferences dealt with the perfection of plans for the orthppedic section of the sitka Hospital. After the agreement was made regarding operation of the hospital between the Territorial De- partment of Health and the Office of Indian Affairs, Dr. Snayely and Dr Albrecht spent several days working out details of the plan.
 Dr Albrecht also talked with of ficials of the Pure Food and Drug Administration in regard to Con- yaulaX catanslla the toxin Of which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning in humans. He was highly pleased at the interest expressed ty the officials in attacking the problem. It seemed to Dr Albrecht that no one sufficiently understands just what is Gonyaulax catanella poiscn- ing The Foods and Drugs Ad- ministraticn offered to cooperate and solicited the help ot the Terri- torial Health Department and all agencies to get enough of the toxic substance to make the necessary studies.

 An entire day was spent on t!.e program and plans of the Federal Hospital Construction Act Delegate Bartlett and Dr. s,brecht had a conference with Dr. Parran in order to ascertain if the S41000 annual allotmsnt for Alaska could not be raised to a minimum of S200,000. They learned that there would have to be an amendment by Congress to the Federal Hospital Act in order tc do this. Both Bartlett and Albrecht think that there should be a basic minimum allotment rather than have the Federal appropria- tions for hospitals based entirely on population,
 Social Legislation
 Dr Albrecht gathered that social legislation will receive continued support with the new Congress It is apparent to the American people i that adequate public health, wei fare and educational resources are a

 tion."

CAA, Mer- chant Marine, Veterans. and Alaska Native Service bsneticiaries Last year Dr Albrecht found that in lis conferences in Washington most Federal officials expressed an in- terest in Alaska's problems. This year te found that they possessed a feeling of responsibility
 Alaskans Get Credit

 Dr Reginald Atwater, executive of the American Public Health Association was most help full to Dr. Albrecht in discussing public health personnel and pro- gram planning Ole Salthe, eXecu- tive secretary of the Nutrition Foundation gave some excellent suggo5ticns for the Nutrition study
