The
Gsad&e Roeee4

Seward has embarked upon an
advertising campaign designed to
make the name of Seward synomy-
nous with that of Alaska.
To many tourists coming here for
the first time this is almost true
now, but there are SO many things
we could do to keep the ball roll
ing For one thing-I should like
to know what happened to the
proposal to make Marathon a park
area, thereby forbidding hunting
on the mountain and preventing a
repetition of last years tragedy.
Marathon is playground for
our children and young people, and
the challenge to climb its slopes,
summer or winter, will always be
an attraction for both young and
old.
If hunting is forbidden there will
be an occasional glimpse of bear
and moose to be pointed out to
tourists.
l should like to see regular
climbing party on boat days during
the tourist season with a campfire
meal at the end of it. Not many
seasons would pass before il could
be made famous. Such a program
could be advertised in magazines
like Holiday" and with tourist
agencies.
viii not one or all OF the WON
ems organizations consider the pos
sibilities and report to the Cham
Der Of Commerce to work out
something of the kind?
We can no longer sit back and
let nature take its course. Let's
give it boost and everyone knows
that when the womenfolk take
hand in anything, it really takes
shape and moves forward Prob
ably because we grow enthusiastic
and have Or take the time for pet
projects.
So, once again, please ladies,
consider my proposition seriously,
not just this suggestion but others
which you must have of your own.
Enlarge upon the idea of boosting
Seward and let's get to work
women's work.

Board Makes
Airline Plea

The Alaska Development Board
was advised last week by Joseph
j. O'ConneIl, Jr., Chairman of the
Civil Aeronautics Board, that the
CAB. has granted an extension of
time until February / for receipt
of public comments on proposed
revisions of section 1921 of the
economic regulations governing
service by irregular carriers.
The Development Board recent
ly requested the CAB. to grant
the extension of time since AL
askans had not had an opportuni-
ty to give proper study to the pro-
posed revisions, which would dras-
tically affect many Alaska air
carriers.
Chairman O'Connell notified the
Development Board further that
oral argument on the proposed re-
vision had been set for 10 am.
February Is in room 5042 of the
Commerce Building in Washing
ton. His wire stated that oral
argument would be limited to one
full day for all interested parties
and that such parties were urged
to combine presentations and to
speak through single representa-
tive wherever possible
At a meeting of the Alaska De
velopment Board which concluded
in January last week an emphatic
protest against the proposed re-
gulations was wired to Washing
ton. The Board pointed out that
undependability of other forms of
transportation to and within AL
aska left the Territory dependent
to an unusual degree upon air
carriers The Development Board
asked the Civil AeronauticS Board
to extend and expand air service
to and within Alaska, instead of

Clean Up Of Negro

A "clean-up" of Local 968 of the
International Longshoremen's as

last week by the unions New York
district council, in a move to
"clean out the disruptive element
in that local and get it back into
working shape"
Local 968 is the segregated Ne
gro union group which revolted
against union headquarters con-
troll last spring after it's members
complained the union was "jim-
Growing them and giving them only
handout jobs on Brooklyn piers"
The break came when a brief me-
lee occurred June 7 between white

Becker gave Gus Lesnevich his
leave. Then remarked today that

Becker, who brought pressure

breaking his contract for a re-

from the binding contract.
Terms of the deal were not

Now that the veterans benefits
have been shut off from all the
survivors of the second world war !.
for democracy, they do not have
too much to look forward to. Here
is something they do have to look
forward to, though: $4,000, OOO,-
900 dividend to be paid to ap-
proximately 166,OOO,OOO present
and former National Service Life
Insurance policy holders. Veter-
ans of World War II may make
application of the special dividend
after August 20 according to the
Veterans Administration.
Applications will be available
August 20, in all post offices and
VA offices and through veterans
organizations. A veteran will have
only to get an application to find
out just what has to be done to
get the dividend.
If the veteran does not know
the number of his insurance pol
icy the application a be identi-
fled by his service number, rank
and the exact name he used dur
ing his tenure in the service.
Veterans are cautioned not to
send in al application on any form
other than the original. Any ap-
plication received prior to August
20, the date the official forms
will be issued, will not be pro-
cessed.
First dividend checks will not
be. mailed out much before next

Nd ermen, Negro
Leaders Denounce Mob
Attack on Negro Home
CHICAGO, Aug. 1. N

CHICAGO, Aug. 1. CAMP =
Negro leaders here denounced the
violent prejudice and hatred dem
onstrated in the Park Manor area
during the past week against a
Negro family that moved in a
white neighborhood.
Several hundred police are pa
trolling the territory, hundreds Of
whites are constantly milling
around in mobs shouting threats
and insults at Negroes, and the
area around the Negroes home has
been designated as "off limits" to
most people.
Center of the controversary are
Mr.. and Mrs. Roscoe c.. johnson,
who moved into their new home
at 1853 st. Lawrence avenue, a
week ago. johnson is a federal
civil service employee, and Mrs.
johnson works for the Chicago
Welfare association.
More than a dozen mobsters
have been arrested in connection
with the violence. They will be
tried August 4, under the city's
new anti-hate ordinance which
calls for a jail sentence up to six
months or fines up to $500.
This law makes it a misdemean-
or for a person to spread or en-
courage violence or hate against
a person because of his race, re-
ligion, or color. 1t was passed by
the city council in 1947 following
the Fernwood housing project vio-
lence in Chicago.
The critical stage of the vio-
lence is not yet past, according
to police and local civic leaders,
but most Of the mobsters are limit
ing their action to name calling.
According to members of the
Mayors commission on Human Re-
lations, Aid. Archibald J.. Carey,
Jr., and other civic leaders who
have been on the scene of tension
throughout the week, most of the
whites involved in the violence
live in the area.
They have expressed hate of the
Negro people, and have said they
want no Negroes there. This area
was a restrictive covenant area be-
fore the recent u. S. Supreme
court decision outlawing such doc
uments.

year. In OrQeT IOr a neTQ 10 De
credited as a clean herd, free of
the disease, the owners must
have a test run for three conSec-
utive years and destroy all ami
mails that show a positive reac-
ton to the tests. Of the siXty-one
herds tested the past year, only
twenty have submitted to these
three year tests. This means that
there were only 20 dairy herds
in Noble county that are produc-
ing milk that can be classified
as safe for human consumption.
A breakdown of the number of
cattle in the twenty herds show
three hundred animals that are
absolutely free of the disease.
Of the remaining herds tested
last year, four herds contained
animals that showed positive re-
actors and eight contained sus-
poets. The usual procedure car
ried out on herds containing sus-
poets is for the animal to be re-
tested within a month.
Testing reached a peak in 1947
when seventy-two herds were
tested. Last year eleven herds
less received the tests. The pro-
gram has grown steadily since
1914 when only twenty EIGHT
herds were tested.
Mr.. Henderson pointed out that
in some cases, herds had been
free from the disease for as much
as eight years and for no reason
"a suspect would suddenly ap-
pear.
