 Nine of the II West German States have ratified the Bonn Con- stitution setting up federal repub- lie in West Germany. This means that the constitution is approved by more than two-thirds of the states required and the new federal state is expected to come into being III mid-July.

HEALTH MEETING
 ENDS WITH TALK
 BY DR. ALBRIGHT

Not until every last person in Alaska is receiving public health service will the Alaska Department of Health have reached its goal, said Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Commissioner of Health, in his closing address to the staff members attending the Sixth Annual Public Health meet ings in Juneau yesterday.
 In congratulating the staff mem- bers on the progress that has been made, Dr. Albrecht gave three sug- gestions for the improvement of the service First, an increased number of hands and minds to deliver the service in all fields. Second, in- creased efficiency of those now on the staff, through staff education such as the meetings just finished. Third. more special field services, including the MS Hygiene and the new power barge, NV Health, which will bring health services to the people who cannot obtain them any other way. The great achievement of the past few years in public health, the Commissioner said, are marked by the appearance of real health consciousness in the Terri tory, the desire of the people to improve their own health condi- tions.
 The week of meetings in Juneau covered the following subjects Local Health Councils; the School Health Program; Community facili- ties; sanitation problems; laboratory problems; preventable and commni- cable disease control; orthopedics; children's diseases; and special sub jects for staff members during sec- tional meetings.
 A week of meetings for staff mem- bers working in the interior will be held in Anchorage next week.

 Once before, Wallgren had offer ed to drop out of the battle. for Senate confirmation, but Truman wouldn't hear of it. The Senate's rejection was taken as personal slap at Truman and he asked his old Senate buddy to stick it out. This week, however, Mrs. Wall gen told her husband she couldn't take it any longer, pleaded with him to categorically withdraw. It was only then that Truman agreed. Wallgren, an Al Senator, is fed up with Washington, D. C., has several private job offers, wants to see no more of government.
