The Levy To vD

The cost in money and man.
power levied by the venereal
diseases is heavy. Take the dol
lars-and-cents figures. Annual ap-
preparations for Federal, state and
local VD control measures mount
upwards of 30 million dollars. Eco
nomic losses, which were estimat-
ed for a pre-war year when every
dollar bought more than it does
now, set personal income loss to
syphilitic blind and to paretics at
118 million dollars, and public
maintenance of these two groups
at Is million dollars. Or take pre-
valence figures.
In 1947 for every work injury Of
more than casual nature tabulated
by the National Safety Council in
its list of occupational injuries, the
U. S. Public Health Service re-
ceived four reports of positive
syphilis diagnoses. For every
American hurt in an auto accident
another fell victim to gonorrhea.
Is this levy to VD avoidable? Yes,
says the American Social Hygiene
Association, basing it's verdict on
IS years experience in the field of
VD control.
Blaming ignorance as the major
factor in the spread of VD infec-
tons, the Association has launched
simultaneous observances in cities
and towns across the nation to
point up ways for the public to
combat VD This effort, because
VD menaces national health and
strength, is particularly vital in
this period of national defense.

l have just received clippings of
a newspaper story originally print
ed in the Seattle Post Intelligence
er, about setting aside land for the
Indians in Alaska This article
quotes me at length, as saying,
among other things that the seven
thousand Indians in southeastern
Alaska are due to die miserably
in a few years" if they don't get
land of their own.
Since Senator Butler has brought
this matter to the attention of Con-
gress, l had better make a slight
correction. I didn't say several of
the things that are attributed to
me in the story, including the one
above mentioned. The reporter
simply made a mistake. However,
his report was generally correct,
in that I do urge most strongly the
setting aside of land for these In
dams. They won't all "die miser-
ably in a few years but they'll be
very very hungry if they don't get
their land soon. And conditions in
the towns are shockingly bad at
the present time
There is one other impression
that needs correction, namely that
am sponsoring legislation to give
land to these Indians. In my opin-
ion no legislation is necessary for
that purpose. The Secretary of the
Interior has full power to settle the
Seward seaport record. (Seward, Alaska) 1948-195?, 1949-02-01

Drink And Drive
Takes Heavy Toll

CHICAGO - If you are one
of those two drinks-d on't-hurt-
mel" guys, here's something to
think about;
The 1948 edition of Accident
Facts statistical yearbook of
the National Safety Council,
shows that one out of every five
drivers involved in fatal motor
vehicles accidents in 1947 had
been drinking,
Special studies indicate that
drivers who indulge in only a
few drinks are three or four
times more likely to have an ac-
cident than those who refrain
from drinking if they drive. And
drivers who are heavy drinkers
are SIS times more likely to have
an accident.
The yearbook also points out
that one out of every four adult
pedestrians killed in traffic acci-
dents last year had been drink
ing.

Garden Sues U|ine's
For Back Guarantees

The Madison Square Garden
Corp. of New York has gone to
court here to collect $2,700 from
the managers Of the Uline Ice
Arena-a sum which the Garden
claims it is owed for hockey games
played here by New York team.
According to the suit filed in
Municipal Court Monday, for the
Garden by Attorney Thomas G.
Carney, the New York Rovers,
sponsored by the Madison Square
Garden Corp, played nine games
at the Washington arena in 1916
and 1947 on a guarantee Of $500
a game. They have not been paid
of, the suit says.
They played the games against
the Washington Lions, sponsored
by the M. J. Uline Co.. both teams
at that time being members Of the
Eastern Amateur League.
Frederic j. Ball, attorney for
Uline's, said today that an answer
to the suit will be filed contending
that of the $2.700 figure, $1,000
is owed to Uline's by the Garden.
He said the Washington team
played five games in the Carlin
Park Arena in Baltimore during
the same period and under the
same agreement and they haven't
been paid off, either. He said he
will charge that the Garden Corp.
is the real backer of the Baltimore
arena.
