 These fears had been mounting rapidly since the Rus sian siege of Berlin began in June They set at rest least temporarily when President Truman told his press conference recently that the outlook for is excellent.
 The chief executive did not spell out this assertion Nor did he provide reporters with corroborave data. However, the Presidents statement, plus chance re- mark of conciatory nature made by Marshal Vastly D.

Mass X-ray programs in Alas ka have revealed many active cases of tuberculosis that would have otherwise remained un- known," Dr. Albrecht said. The mass X-ray survey yearly dis covered almost twice as many cases as had been previously re- ported yearly by physicians and nurses. However, in those com- munities having a physician, the rate was one-half that of those areas not having medical serv- ices.
 Although all areas of Alaska have been surveyed in part, more than half of the Territory's pepu- lation remained to be X-rayed. The surveys are conducted on a voluntary basis, and the difficulty in reaching all communities in Alaska is well known. Recent ap- propriations have made possible increased personnel, equipment and hospitals for the control of tuberculosis.
 The present campaign against tuberculosis began in 1946, al-s though X-ray surveys had been conducted in previous years. In l946 the Alaska Department of Health obtained the services of the motorship Hygiene which has since furnished general medical program as we'll as X-ray services from St. Lawrence Island to Southeastern Alaska. For the last two years a truck unit has been conducting a similar program along the interior highway sys- tenn during the summer months. This unit began its yearly pro- gram along the Richardson High way last month under the direc- ton of pr. Frederick Swanson. senior field physician for the Alaska department of health.
 In l947 portable X-ray unit travelled by boat, train truck and airplane to areas in the Southeast, ( along the Alaska Railroad, and along the Arctic Ocean and the Boring Sea.

REPORT OF CHEST
 X-RAYS IN ALASKA
William Fl. Kiloh. Associate Health Education Consulfanf

A report on results of chest K ray taken in Alaska was announc- ed last week by Dr. C. Earl Al brecht, Commissioner of health.
 Since 1946, 45,OOO persons of all races have been X-rayed in the Territory by the Alaska depart ment of health in cooperation with the Alaska Native Service and the Alaska Tuberculosis As sociation.
 Of those X-rayed, an average of four in every one hundred showed evidence of tuberculosis. Gn the United States, an average of one to two per one hundred is the average survey finding). This rate varied throughout the Ter ritory from high of twenty-th three per one hundred to a low of one suspicious case per one hundred examined.
 Findings for the individual Alaska communities are as fol-
