'UNvEILING' OF NEW COMMUNITY PIANO TO BE GALA EVENT
Unusual Program Features 10 Mark Sch dpiro $
 Dedildfory Concert

With so many unusual features included in tonight's "once-in-a lifetime" concert, the program has been timed as carefully as though it were going out over a nation wide network. Even with all the extras, it is scheduled to take no longer than the usual time.
 The big community piano, which has been a dream for so long, is to be unveiled" with a short official ceremony.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson has timed his little speech to the se- cond, as has Ernest Ehler, who will introduce him. Ehler is President of the Juneau Concert Association, which presents the concert and is trustee" for the piano. --.
 Maxim Schapiro, noted Russian born American pianist, whose en- thusiastic support has helped in the acquisition of the instrument, dlSO VIII ldhc pat.
 Sehapiro's program is of Carnegie Hall calihre. Unlike some artists who seem to feel that any old hackneyed works are good enough for the hinterlands, Schapiro brides himself on bringing the finest music at his command to his Juneau au- dience.
 He will open the concert with Beethoven's "Appassionata" sonata, which has a satisfying, singable main theme that probably will be hummed and whistled for days.
 The entire program offers the artist opportunity to display the rich tonal resources of the Bald win concert grand piano-two Rach- maninoff preludes with bass tones reminiscent of ancient church bells; the virtuosos brilliance of Liszts "Tarantella" marvel of whirling, frenzied speed; and the unbelievable contrasts of the French Polish Chopin-tender, careSsable music and dazzling fire as well.
 There will be variety, too, in the music of several local artists after the scheduled program, the big pi- ano giving support for the con trasting qualities of voices and stringed instruments.
 Concert tickets as well as season memberships will be available at the door tonight. The concert in the 20th Century Theatre will begin at 8:30 pm.
 Schapiro, who calls Juneau his second home, is identifying him. self with many groups in the city.
 He gave a special program yes terday for both high school and grade school students in the High School gymnasium. Also on the ur-long program for which all students were excused from class es was Shirley Jones, an artist rupil of Schapiro, who spent the winter in the Interior as entertain CT at the Fairbanks Country Club. Her "boogie' and other popular numbers found a perfect audience in the student group.
 Schapiro will play for Douglas school children tomorrow afternoon. l He was a guest yesterday after noon at the meeting of the Juneau Womans Club in the home of Mrs. Elton Engstrom, where he gave a little talk and chatted with friends over coffee.
 Members of the Junau Concert Association committee have been invited to reception for Schap- fro at the Governors House after the concert. The visiting artist was a guest of Mrs. Ernest Gruening at a small dinner last evening.

Malaria Death
Rates Lowered

KINGSTON, Jamaica (ANP)-
The high incidence of deaths
from malaria has dropped to an
all-time low in the West Indies
and the Far East, according to a
report released here last week.
In Jamaica, Trinidad and British
Guiana, natives live Is years
longer on the average than they
did in the 192O's. In Singapore,
where 80 years ago malaria took
a total Of 1000 or 5000 persons
each year, the death rate is as low
as that Of Great Britain. Cyprus,
another British colony, has one of
the lowest death rates in the
world.
The lowered death rate from
malaria have come as a practical
result of the advance of medical
science and it's application in
British colonies. Malaria is the
most widespread Of all tropical
diseases. About 80 years ago, vir-
tually nothing was known of it's
nature.
In 1880, A French doctor, Law
eran, found that the infection was
caused by a parasite in the blood.
Fourteen years later, Sir Ronald
Ross, in India, discovered that this
parasite was spread by a species
of mosquito.

Truman Signs Bill
Extending Social
Security

WASHINGTON (ANP) Presi-
dent Truman, last Monday, sign
ed legislation to extend and i'm
prove the Federal old age and
survivors insurance system and
to amend the public-assistance
and child-welfare provisions of
the social security act.
The new law will provide old
age insurance for 10-million new
beneficiaries including farm help,
domestics and self-employed. The
total number of persons who will
now benefit from social security
including the new group will be
increased to 100000 OO.
In signing the bill, the Presi-
dent spoke of it as "an outstand-
ing achievement" but expressed
his disapproval ofthe Knowland a.
mendment which will restrict
authority Of the Secretary of La
Dor to withhold unemployment
compensation funds from states
not meeting federal requirements.
MI. Truman asked Congress to
repeal this portion of the new law
and again requested the passage of
another law insuring workers
against wage loss for temporary
or permanent disability.
This new law will prove a boom
to minority groups, particularly
the Negro since the largest per-
centage of Negro workers are in
the domestic group. An outstand-
ing numbers are classes in the
farm help group.

er, with 10 other Baptist leaders,
made on extensice survey of West
Africa early this year. In pro-
posing trade relations with Africa,
Rev. Austin said:
eve know Africa to be the rich

so know that the backbone of
England's wealth is the raw mat

representative Of Great Britain
said recently hat Britain had
gathered out of Nigeria in 1919
more than $17O,O0O,O 900 in ma

what she has taken annually from
the Gold Coast and Sierra Leone.
"The natives are enslaved by
lack of knowledge and vision, by
contracts to which they are bound
for 80 years at a time, by salar-
les which keep them forever on

is a missionary program and a

flex it's muscles again.
Demobilized from a peak war
time strength of I'll 900. the Coast
Guard had 21,500 officers and mer
on active duty a month ago. Its
reserves were made up of 4,100
officers but only 500 enlisted men
plus $50 SPARS.
The reserve is top-heavy with
brass, but the Coast Guard is do
ing something about it. Congress
is giving it ST million to start an
organized reserve program, largely
for training enlisted men.
The Coast Guard reserve was q
new thing when formed 10 months
before Pearl Harbor. 1t was dis
banded in 1916 and has not beer
active since.
Now the Coast Guard plans to
use it's 81 million reserve money
to get its veterans re-enlisted ano
organized into drill-pay units. It's
taking only its former enlisted
men back into the reserves at the
moment, but it may open the doors
