HEALTH DEPT. ALERT5 AS THREE TOTS DIE IN ALEUTIAN OUTBREAK

A mysterious epidemic which has claimed the lives of three children less than five years of age in Dutch Harbor was being investi- gated today with all possible speed cy Territorial health officials.
 A wire from the United States Commissioner at the far r-tlung out post was received by Dr. James T. Googe. medical director of the AL aska Native Service, telling of the deaths and of others being ill, al though they seemed to be getting better"
 The Anchorage office of tn e Health Department, recently es- tablished for Interior and Aleutian contacts, was given charge of the investigation. pr. Robert L. Smith, Assistant Commissioner of Health, is in charge there.
 Two naval pharmacist mates stationed in the town were unable to diagnose the outbreak The mo- tor barge Health, with Dr. Hazel Blair on board, had only a few days before left the community after making it's annual call. The vessel, on its way to Kodiak, was caught in heavy weather midway between the two points. Word was that ships had been warned to stay away from the area, which also includes Unalaska, but confirmation on this was lack ing from the Coast Guard here. No word had been received by them of the trouble.
 St. Paul Island in the Pribilof group apparently heard the ra- dioed telegram telling of the cpl ! demic, because they queried for de- tails, according to Dr. Grace E. |. Field, assistant health commission
 CT, in charge in the absence of pr C. Earl Albrecht.
 {; Dr. Field said that recently a
 whooping cough epidemic hao :struck tiny Sanak Island, south o1 | False Pass, and that surmlsaI
 would be that this might be the disease which has stricken children of Dutch Harbor. The epidemic on the island was not serious.
 Approximately 300 persons live in
 Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, the latter containing no more than 6t
 persons.
 Dr. Field said that at the earh-
 est opportunity she would find oe- tails of the trouble and make then public. Pending further word, sns had alerted the Anchorage office te stand by to fly to the area in even

RAYMOND 5T0UGHS IN JUNEAU BEFORE
 MOVING OUTSIDE.

MT. and Mrs. Raymond Slough, formerly of Anchorage and now Of somewhere" are seeing old friends in Juneau this week before going outside to live.
 The Stoughs have sold their homie in Anchorage, but not the one they own in Kenwood, Md, suburb of Washington, D. c. However, they are sold on the Vest" ana prob- ably will settle on the Pacific Coast eventually
 We're going to Seattle for a couple of weeks" MT. Slough said today, pick up a new car, and, from then, we know not where. It's our first vacation in l2 years.
 The couple arrived in Juneau from the Westward on the Baranof, and will board the Denali south bound Monday.
 The Stoughs have made their home in Anchorage for the five years that MT. Slough has been di- rector of the Alaska office of the CAB. He retired in July, and has been succeeded by Robert O. Kin sey. For some reason, they had diff ficulty in selling their home, in over-crowded Anchorage.
 MT. Slough has been with the CAB since he helped draw up the act in Washington and immediately was put on the staff in 1888. He came to Alaska for the first hear ing in 1889, and was transferred to Alaska permanently in 1944.

WIEN MEETS WITH
 OTHER OPERATORS,
 TALKS GOLD STRIKE

Except in one respect, the gold strike at Fishwheel has all the aspects of pioneer gold rush days, according to Sigurd Wien, who should know.
 Wien is president and manager of Wien Alaska Airlines, with headquarters in Fairbanks. His company has regular flight sched- ules to Fort Yukon and other com munities in the strike district.
 The exception is "the ease with which hopefuls are dropped in the immediate area" Wien said today in Juneau.
 You probably are running regular shuttle service to Fort Yukon?" hazarded a reporter. Well" replied Wien, you can say our business has certainly in- creased.
 T think everyone in that dis tiict has managed to stake a claim" he commented, and there has been a great influx of would be prospectors from other parts of tie North. People are just begin- ming to arrive from the states.
 By the way, look what I found, : he went on,dumping lot of gold nuggets on the luncheon table-a little over an ounce, arout s30 worth.
 Fellow airline operators were not to be taken in, however.
 From your mine near Nome?" questioned one "Yes," admitted Wien.
 Like the others, Wien was in Jul neau for a meeting with Theodore Seamon, Washington, DC, at torney who represents several cer- tificated airlines.
 Seamon has the distinction of being the only attorney to repre- sent airlines in Alaska which cover the entire Territory. Nowhere else could such a representative non competing group get together.
 The Alaska operators met this noon in the Iris Room of the Bar anof Hotel, and will have other meetings during their short con- ference, to work out solution of mutual problems.
 In the interests of continued inn rrovement of Alaska air transpor- tation, this group retains Seamon as it's counsel in the capital.
 Carriers represented today were Wien, for Wien Alaska Ray Pet erson of Anchorage, president of Northern Consolidated Airlines, who flew in from Seattle yesterday on P.A.A.; and three officials oi Alaska Coastal Airlines Alex Holden and Sheldon Simmons, CO., managers, and o. F. Benecke, of flee manager.
 Merle Smith, president of Cordo- va Air Service, was unable to at tend.
 A guest at the luncheon was Ray mond Slough who, until July, was director of the Alaska CAB. of- fice-and therefore is intimately acquainted with the subject mat ter of the discussions.
 The groups coverage of the Territory includes Wien Alaskas $ schedules from Nome to the Can adian border, Fairbanks to Point Barrow and a flight to Old Crow, VT, with certification for all points in Yukon Territory.
 Northern Consolidated operates south of these lines, including the Aleutians. The Cordova company serves the Copper River district, and Alaska Coastal, all of South east Alaska.

THESE DAYS.
GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
A BIT OF HISTORY

It always moves one to witness a child fighting to restore the re- putation of a father. Pierre Laval, once Prime Minister of France, was broken on the wheel of history. His daughter, Josee De Chambrun, has been digging into the record to restore his good name. Whether that is possible will only be known when all the Recommendation of this unnecessary war is in.
 "The diary of Pierre Laval, ; which his daughter has compiled, adds to the most interesting epi- sodes is Laval's relations with Great Britain in the hope that the war might be stayed off
 In 1931, Great Britain was again in financial difficulties and aid from the Unted States had become involved in the depression and the prospect of the 1882 election. The British turned to France for aid. Laval says:
 C. After hearing (Sir Ronald Campbell, British Charges d Af- faires), I agreed, without refer ence to my cabinet, for fear of an indiscretion which might affect British credit adversely, to make available the following morning from the French treasury on a temporary loan basis the sum ot three billions in gold. The coffers of the Bank of England were bare. Payments would have had to be suspended had it not been for the immediate and unstinted assistance of France. Sir Ronald Campbell thanked me with sincere emotion and said, taking my hands in his, M. Le President, I thank you. My country will never forget. 1"
 Of course, they did forget. It was not long before Great Britain was negotiating with Germany without regard to France, although the two countries had an under standing that they would work to- gether. The Anglo-German Naval Pact of 1885 was negotiated with out the knowledge of France. Bri- tain also agreed th-. Germany could violate the military clauses of the Versailles Treaty. France wished to encircle Germany, to es- tablish and maintain a cordon san- itaire against Hitler. This would not only have included Great Bri- tain, France and Italy, but also Poland, Rumania, and Czechoslo- vakia. Hitler would have been con- fined to German territory. Laval says:
 q. I invited Mir Macdonald, faced as we both were with the danger of a German war becoming more inevitable, to link the chain with Moscow. The Rome agreements and the Franco-Soviet Pact, which
 
 I signed, had eliminated difficult ies which were said to be insur- mountable But England was not then prepared to adopt the policy of encirclement of Germany which I advocated. This policy alone would have prevented war by isolating Hitler"
 Referring to the Hoare-Layal Plan for a compromise between It. ally and Ethiopia, Laval wrote.
 q. I merely regretted the fail- ure of the 'Hoare-Laval Plan a failure which was to throw Italy step by step into the arms of Ger many, to deprive France and Eng land of the indispensable manoeuv- ering ground of the Balkan Pen insula and bring down on our un- fortunate country nothing but un- happiness. ."

The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-10-26

History is often a record Of ar- TOTS, some well-intentioned, some the products Of doctrinaire assump- ticns; some due to downright ig- norance. The hero of particular moment may prove to nave not only feet but a head of clay; often the villain Of the moment proves to be sound, truthful, far-seeing The voice of the people is not too often the voice of God. It is more often the mass response to over excitement, to false slogans, to the constant repetition of the great lie Just think of what happens on the radio when a government wishes to lodge the seeds of ideas in oui minds. Every Is minutes or so sharp, staccato voices, selected fol their vocal impressiveness. repeal practically the same words untl they become welded into our mem ory.
 But none of it may be true None of it may have any validity It may be little more than desigr to carry through a policy for ; particular purpose at given mo ment, eventually to be repudiated That has cost the world millions 0 lives and trillions of dollars. Tn public asks How can it be fals if such great men say so? Tn answer is that as the record of tn last war is unfolded, much tha we were officially told proves t be untrue.
