PROFITS SHOW
 BIG INCREASE OVER 1949

NEW YORK - (AP) - Corpor- ation profits are running at a rec ord rate. with the second quarter total 4S per cent higher than a year ago.
 This upward surge developed without the stimulus of war which did not boost prices, sales and earn ings until the start of the second half of the year.
 4 compilation made this week by the Associated Press of earnings of 450 corporations in all fields of business showed these totals:
 1850 second quarter s1.625.04O.- 257.
 1949 Second quarter s1132.768.- or:
 Increase: 43 per cent.
 1850 first half $2.S65.3O6.25g:
 1949 first half S2.319.616.453:
 Increase: q per cent.
 The percentage of gain over a year ago reflects the quickie reces- sion during the first half of 1949 which. of course. makes today's earnings look even bigger by com parison.
 But the absolute dollar totals during the second quarter this year are running at an annual rate that would top any other full year.
 Profits made an all-time high in I194S. and the total last year was only 2.6 per cent below that peak, an Associated Press compilation showed.
 That makes the 24 per cent gain so far this year look impressive, especially since the money-making tempo is picking up sharply as the year grows older.
 But higher taxes would change the picture. President Truman is asking for higher corporation taxes to wage war in Korea, and there is con gressional discussion of an exces. profits tax.

ALASKA GETTING QUARTER
 BILLION NEW CONSTRUCTION

JUNEAU-More than a quarter iof a billion dollars worth of new construction = governmental and private-is under way in Alaska in 19O, making this the greatest con- struction year in the history of the territory, it is revealed in a sum- mary of building activities compiled by the Alaska Development Board.
 The years construction total, ae- cording to the Board announcement, is s279.172,576. This is almost 99 times as much as the sum the na- ton paid when it purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867.
 The largest item going toward making up the total is defense con- struction amounting to s13S,00O,- 900 Other construction includes: Federal s77.477.90S; territorial, s2,S11,656; municipal and school districts s5.664.312; institutional and coop 1000, and private $46.999,7OO.
 The construction boom for 1850 centers largely in the Third and Fourth Judicial Divisions. Totals by divisions are: First, $13,SS9,369; Second. $14,425, 1856; Third, $780, 91S.627 and Fourth, $S9,95O,224.
 Reflecting tangible faith in Alas ka's future, private enterprise alone is spending in 1850 more than twice as much as it ever did previously in a single year according to the Development Board. Per capita ex- penditures for private construction in 1850 amount to $16 in the Sec ond Division; $159 in the First Di- vision; s394 in the Fourth Division and s54O in the Third Division.

 One night while playing "Rich- ard H." he suddenly decided to re- wise Shakespeare script, and when it came to the duel scene in the last act he began slashing away at the young actor playing the role of Richmond. The episode ended with his chasing the kid out the stage door and several blocks down the Bowery.
 AS THE, YEARS leapfrogged on, Booths capacity for nuttiness be- came something of a national leg end, and any theater he was scheduled to play generally sold out the day the engagement was an- nounced. Stories about the caper- ous crackpot were repeated around every pot-bellied stove-and little wonder. For instance, while taking an ocean voyage, the ship passed | the spot where an actor named Conway had committed suicide by | drowning. Junius Brutus suddenly appeared on deck and yelled, q have a message for Conway" and dove overheard. And for the next 30 minutes, he played water-tag with the sailors who jumped in to fish him out.

 GANGS BEING READIED

SEATTLE Waterfront employer and longshore union representatives met in Seattle Wednesday in efforts to speed the supply of additional longshore gangs.
 Results of the meeting between officials of the Pacific Maritime As sociation, representing the employ CTS, and the International Long shoremen and Warehousemen's Un- ion were not disclosed.
 4 longshore union membership meeting was called for Thursday morning to discuss the situation, it was reported Employers were ad- Yised that gangs will report at g a. m., an hour later than usual, due to the scheduled meeting
 Meanwhile, the shortage of avail able gangs" continued to hamper commercial ship loadings and un- loadings. Military cargo ships and transports receive first call for all steyedore gangs.
 Actually, there is no shortage of men to work on the waterfront, according to union spokesmen, but the scarcity of gangs is due to a temporary bottleneck in putting new men on the jobs. The union has screened several hundred new men who will be available as soon

formers look as pale as ghost who has just seen man.
 For easy example, take, say, the great tragedian, Junius Brutus Booth-a name to conjure with and make faces at.
 JUNIUS BRUTUS was born in England a few years before the 18th century made it's bow, and by the time he was 13 a servant girl had accused him of being the fath- CT of her out-of-bounds baby. Dur ing the next four years, among other things, he took crack at being a sailor, a sculptor and the husband of two ladies, without the customary divorce in between. None of this stunted his growth, however, because by the time he was 20 he had become one of the great stars of the London stage. He appeared at Covent Garden as Richard III, and the following sea- son at Drury Lane as Iago to Keane's 0thello. And, unless the record is lying, his success was so great that a group of envious ac- tors started a riot in the theater and tried to burn it down.

Y0nkS In Israel
Warned Not to Vote

TEL AVN, (JTA) - The US.
Embassy warned all American
citizens in Israel against partici-
pating in the municipal elections.
The warning said that they will
lose their citizenship if they vote.
The election campaign is at its
peak in Tel Aviv, but the various
parties in the campaign are con-
centrating not so much on local
issues as on the national scene.
The results of the municipal cleo
tions will indicate the extent to
which various groups have grown
in strength since the arrival of
some 100000 new immigrant after
the last national elections in Jan
uary, 1949.

adj Phases of Bnai Birth Work
Discussed. Before Local Women

On Wednesday afternoon at
Temple Emanuel a number of
Tucson women participated in a
demonstration of how rumors
spread and how unwittingly they
may themselves spread them. Hy
Haves, field and community con-
sultant for the Anti-Defamation
League, lead the discussion.
Scenes from several ADJ films
were shown, also excerpts from a
radio series were played. Haves
stressed that ADJ uses three
forces of democratic action to
achieve its purposes: education,
public opinion Community ac-
tion), legislation.
Tucson women were urged to
participate within the Bnai Birth
and in the community in behalf
of ADJ. Full acceptance of the
Jew can come about only when
the attitudes and laws of a COM
munity are so prescribed that
every individual has full freedom.
There can be no full freedom for
Jews if there is not full freedom
for all people" declared Haves.
Thru the three forces it is not
only hoped to eliminate preju-
dices, he continued, but more i'm
portant, to stop the acts of pre-
judice. He urged participation
in PTAs, Community Ch st,
League of Women Voters, with
the acceptance of community re-
sponsibility as one answer.
Before the VA group and the
Youth Council members, HaveS
held "a Rumor Clinic" in which
he proved that even the best of
us are guilty of spreading them,
and analyzed the psychology of
rumors. 1t shows that stereotype
thinking is present in all of us,
and is harmful to minority
groups.
Guests at the luncheon included
Arthur Wolpe, member of the
IDA national board, and men,
bers of the local ADJ committee.
Mrs. Meyer Agron, chairman of
the BBW-ADL committee planned
the afternoon. On her committee
were Mines. Harold Bazar, Sgd
ney Goodman, Chas. Kalb and
Mrs. Richard Bennett, president.

Man. S Greatest Killer

lculosis, pneumonia, kidney disease
and accidents combined, we can
not afford to remain Indifferent
to a campaign hich aims to
brighten and prolong our future.
Of the FL varieties of heart
trouble, there are three major
forms that play havoc when al
lowed to remain unattended.
They are:
Rheumatic heart disease, which
which begins in childhood.
2. Heart disease from High
Blood pressure which usually oc-
ours in middle age.
3. Coronary heart disease, U.S.
ually found in those past middle
age.
Despite these grim facts there
is much to encourage us in our
fight against this great killer Of
men. We should take advantage Of
the rapid progress that is being
made in the knowledge and treat
ment Of Heart disease. We must
continue in the drive to improve
our socio-economic status so as to
correct the unfavorable conditions
which are known to have an i'm
portant bearing on the beginning
and progressive development of
the disease.
Above all we must give un-
stinted support to the campaign
of the American Heart association
and all other agencies whose pro-
grams are dedicated to a full
comfortable and happy life for all
of US.

Whether Costner can draw in
Chicago depends on whether the
people have forgotten him and his
previous career here = or rather
whether they remember the good
orthe unpleasant things about him.
When he was the Windy City's
star attraction he slugged all his
opponents into submission. Fans
clamored for a bout pitting him
against Ray (Sugar) Robinson,
then called the "uncrowned" well
terweight champion.
Ray finally agreed--unfortunate-
ly for Costner. Maybe fans were
not seated when it was all over
Robinson finished him in the first
round. But the Costner crowd
still had faith in him, so Jake
LaMotta, then considered merely
a tough middleweight journey
man, was called in Jake kayoed
Costner, too.
1t has been a long time since
Costner has fought at the Stadi-
um. He is the big question mark
as far as a good gate is con-
cerned.
Gene Burton has done well in
Chicago, but never has been a
crowd pleaser. Maybe his first
bout with Costner seen on televi-
sion will attract the fans to see
this one in person.
Satterfield is a local favorite,
but is not a headline attraction,
and very few people in Chicago
know who Barone is.

The ravages of Heart disease
that deplete the population at an
alarming rate have become a TO-
cal point Of concentration Of our
public health administration.
. This disease, with an annual
death toll in excess of 600,000
must not be regarded as the ex-
elusive concern of physicians, sci
entists and public health authori-
ties. It lisa problem equally chal-
longing to society as a whole. For,
a we'll informed public through
the dissemination of knowledge Of
the treatment and care of Heart
disease can do much to allay suf-
fering and retard the progress Of
this scourge.
There are more than 10000
900 Americans who are presently
disabled by Heart and Blood
Vessel diseases. At the present
rate in the rise in age of the
population, the yearly death toll
has been estimated at a possible
100000 by 1860.
The seriousness of this ailment
alone, to say nothing of the re-
sulting economic losses, makes the

significance to all segments of the
population, particularly the Negro
people who are proportionately
the greatest sufferers and victims
of Heart disease by virtue of
their differential economic status.
Poor housing, poor sanitation
aggravated by congestion make
the Negro an easy victim of this
illness. When we realize that
Heart disease alone kills more
