Poles Hail Czech Trade

a GDYNIA, Poland - (AJ - The
newspaper "Dziennik Baltycki"
says Polish ports have grabbed off
the lions share of Czechoslovakia'
imports and, exports business. The
journal said the Belgian port of
Antwerp alone had counted upon
handling 100000 to 100000 tons
of Czechoslovak shipments in 1948.
These, it aCded, now will move
through the Oder river port of
Stettin to the Baltic since a part of
the port has been set aside for ex-
elusive use of the CzechOslovaks.
With the granting of the Stettin
facilities, the CzechOslovaks also
have abandoned using. the German
port of Hamburg which handled
much of their shipments before the
war, the paper says.

COP MEETS TO ISSUE
 CALL FOR CONVENTION

WASHINGTON - Two generals who weren't there = Dwight D. Eisenhower and Douglas Mac Arthur - figured prominently in presidential speculation as the Re publican National Committee met Monday to issue a formal call for the party's June nominating con- Yention in Philadelphia.
 Neither Macarthur nor Eisen- hover was represented even unof- licially. as were other and poten- tial candidates. But there was much discussion of their chances if a convention stalemate arises be- tween such announced aspirants as Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio and former Gov Harold B. Stassen of Minnesota.
 Several national committee members. representing the regular party organization made it plain in informal discussions with their colleagues that they want Eisen- hower's views on national and world issues in detail before they would be willing to consider him as a candidate.

ALBRIGHT RETURNS WITH ENLARGED MERICAL AID
 PROGRAM FOR ALASKA

JUNEAU - BCG vaccination for Alaska, ambulatory treatment oE syphilis. enlarged programs of nu- triton and child health, and the assurance Of continued financial support for hospitalizauon of crip- pied children are a few of the pro- jects to be developed further as a result Of a recent trip to the states by pr. c. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health.
 Although the principal reason for his trip was attendance at the annual meeting of State and Ter ritorial Health officers, the Com missioner was able to attend many conference and meetings in which aid for Alaska's health was among the chief topics of discussion.
 Not the least of these was the conference on the Alaska Program. Dr. Albreeht attended meetings of the subcommittee on health, well lare and education, as well as the subcommittee on housing.
 Plans were discussed with Dr. Ralph Snavely, medical director oI the Office of Indian Affairs and with officials of the U. s. Public Health Service by which Alaska will now have BCG vaccine avail able for vaccination against tuber- eulosis.
 Dr. Albrecht is enthusiastic a. bout the progress being made to- wards the solution of Alaska's health problems. The interest and support reused in Washington to- wards our public health difficult ties and the increasing awareness of the strategic position Alaska holds as a line of defense canno. fail to obtain for us the necessary finances and personnel to enlarge our present programs in the de- partment," he said ''I feel that great benefit will be derived from the Alaska Program and that such appreciation should be extended to William Warne, Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior, who has been named chairman of the inter-de- partmental committee, and to the staff of the Division of Territories who are spearheading this plan"
