Vaccinate EskimOs For Tuberculosis

VacclnatlOnS TOT the control Of tuberculosis were completed re- gently at the top of the world Paint Barrow, Misunderstanding to an announcement made by Sec retary of the Interior J. A. Krug. A total of 600 Eskimos were ex- amined and tested and, of these, 250 received the nti-tuberculosis vaccine BCG) by pr. Joseph R. Aronson of Philadelphia, Pa, spe- cial physician attached to the Bur- eau of Indian Affairs. The vaccine can be given only to perosns who have not previously been infected with tuberculosis, since it is pre- ventive not curative agent.
 The inauguration of this pro- gram is probably the most import ant single step yet taken by the United States in its efforts to com bat the dread effects of tuberculo- sis among the Alaska native peo- pie. It has been estimated that the incidence of tuberculosis among the natives is Is times greater than the rate for the United States. The mortality rate from tuberculosis among the natives over the 7-year period prior to May, 1946, aver aged 688 per 100000 each year. This is approximately 10 times the death rate occurring in the white population of the Territory and approximately IS times that of the population of the United States.
 The problem of obtaining fresh vaccine at places as remote as Barrow and Wrangell was a diff cute one to solve. The vaccine must be administered within four days of it's preparation, otherwise its effectiveness is lost. In order to meet this problem, fresh supplies were flown each day from Phila- delphla to Fairbanks, by cOmmer- cial airline. At Fairbanks the Navy provided air transportation to the field party. Similar prob lems of obtaining fresh supplies of vaccine will face the program in its Southeastern Alaska opera tions.
 Dr. Aronson was assisted in the work at Barrow and Wrangell by Dr. William Carr, contract physi- clan in the service of the Navy de- partment; by Dr. Elaine Schwinge, Dr. Ed Bloomquist, United States Public Health Service; and Dr. Florence Marquis, detailed by the United States Health Service to the Territory of Alaska.

aimed straight at him, said of the
Presidents program;
"One Of the most obvious as
poets of the proposal is that it is
made in q presidential election
year, not only for the manifest
purpose of sacrificing principles for
votes but also so close in point of
time to the State party conventions
that 1t was confidently expected
that nothing efhective could be done
about it"
The committee, which was in
structed at meeting of the South
ern governors In Tallahassee, Fla,
February 7, to consider the whole
problem arising out of the Presi-
dents civil rights program, reported
that the inquiry had satisfied us
that the virtually unanimous will
of the people of the Southern States
Is to take every possible effective
action within their power, not only
to prevent the enactment of the
proposed legislation but also to de-
feat those who have proposed it
and any others advocating it."
The principal items in the Presi-
dents civil rights program-anti-
poll tax, antilynching and fair en-
ployment practice compensation
legislation-were declared by the
committee to be in direct violation
Of the Constitution.
The committee charged that
throughout the whole program
runs the purpose to break down the
traditions, customs and laws of the
States dealing with the separation
of the races.
1T is true" the report con-
tinued, that the (civil rights mes
sage to Congress (by Mr.. Truman)
dealt generally with this subject
and only with interstate transpor-
tation. 1t included, however,
accommodation that the District
OF Columbia, which is of common
concern to all the States, be used
rs test tube. and reference was
made to Q bill which would be
model for the whole country.
The report Of the Presidents
Committee ION civil rights dis
closed In so many words the whole
plan and purpose, even to the i'm
position Of money sanctions against
States which did not follow the
Federal will in the enactment or
repeal Of State laws.
Federal Police Agency Attacked.
1T is proposed that Federal
grants In aid be withheld from
those States which do not sur
render their sovereignty to the die
tates Of the Federal Government,
even though the money proposed
to be withheld from them was COL
lected from their people under gen.
eral laws.
Those who would recklessly in
wade this field utterly ignore the
fact that such laws have been
enacted for the protection of the
racial integrity and purity OF both
white and Negro races alike, and
also for the preservation of the pub
lie peace and order where the races
live side by side in great numbers" !"
The committee charged, too, that
"under cover of the so-called civil
righst program" Federal police
agency is proposed to be built up.

famed Gestapo, would rove the land,

Legislature Praised
By Tuck on Passage
OF Anti-Truman Bill
BY the ksseeioisd Fress


RICHMOND, Va. Mar. l3-The
Virginia General Assembly wrote
into law today Gov. Tuck's anti
Truman election plan and received
commendation from the Governor
for its firm and courageous action. /"
The bill to permit Virginia Demo-
Gratis to throw the States IL elec-
toral votes to another Democrat If
the President receives the party
nomination now needs only the
formality Of the Governors sigma
ture.
Final action on the Tuck plan. a
few hours before the legislature
voted final adjournment of its Co.
day 1948 session, came as an anti
climax to the debate it provoked on
the House and Senate floors. It
consisted merely of quick House
agreement to o Senate amendment
permitting Mr.. Truman's name to
appear on the ballot almost auto
natically. The President and the
possible nominees of any other
major party could appear by certifi-
cation Of their names and a slate of
electors by their party conventions
Milder Than Original
The bill as passed was q milder
version OF the original proposal by
the Governor which would have
banned the name Of all presidential
and vice presidential candidates and
kept the Henry Wallace third party
on the ballot. Mr.. Wallace's name
could now appear under the petit
tion plan.
Senator Edward L. Breeden. ir
who proposed the amendment, said
the National convention, as the
Democratic Party's supreme author
1ty, could take such action as it
saw fit.
BY q simple resolution the Ma
hoaa1 committee could authorize a
representative to certify the presi-
dent and slate of electors to the
Virginia election board.
Proper, Honorable and Legal"
Delegate4 e. Blackburn Moore
Democratic floor leader who piloted
the administration bill through the
House and the committees, said the
law was the most liberal election
law ever adopted in Virginia.
Nov they not only may put the
names of the candidates on the
ballot but the party designation as
we'll" he said.
1T simply gives Virginia proper,
honorable, and legal way to fight
for some voice in the National
party"
As the Tuck plan to get back at
the President for the civil rights
program will work, the Virginia
Democratic convention will meet
and recess until after the National
convention. II 1t looks as If the
National convention will nominate
Mr.. Truman they will walk out
without taking q vote lin the con-
vention.
Then the State convention will
be called to meet again and a Vir-
ginia nominee will be offered.

the committee continued, inquirinf
into the daily lives of the people
interfering with elections and thu
operation of private business, ane
visiting the American people with
all of the evils of police state.
1t insisted that the idea of a Fed
eral police force was utterly foreign
to the Constitution.
The committee referred to the
fact that it had called on Senator
McGrath and asked him If he
would use his influence to have
this legislative program, sponsored
by the President, withdrawn.
Thompson Qualities Vote.
"Mr. McGrath fatty refused this
request" the report said.
Gov. Thompson qualified his vote
to say that ANY recommendations
to the national leadership from
Georgia should come from the
ofhcially recognized party leaders. "
Gov. Jester explained that he
voted personally Ito show my party
In Texas how I stand, but nothing
is binding on them" Jester said
the national leadership COT the
Democratic party) has abandoned
Democratic principles"
Gov. Thurmond told a reporter
afterward that "the Governors will
withdraw now and become political
leaders,"
Commenting on the action taken
by the Governors, Senator Byrd told
a reporter this puts directly up to
the Democratic National Convention
the question of seating delegations
instructed to vote against Mr.. Tru-
mans nomination.
Byrd Outlines Strategy.
Senator Byrd said that under the
plan Southern delegations would
present to the Philadelphia conven-
tlon, along with their credentials,
instructions to fight MIR. Truman,s
nomination If he stands by his race
legislation program.
Senator Byrd didn't say SO. but
