The Alaska field station of the Public Health Service has been officially named the Arctic Health Research Center, Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, surgeon general of the Public Health Service, Federal Security Agency, announced to- day.
 From its headquarters in An chorage, the Center will proceed with the further development of basic research in health and re- lated problems of low-tempera- ture environments, Dr. Scheele said.
 Dr. Jack C. Haldeman, of the Public Health Service, who has been in charge of the field sta tion since it's establishment by Congressional action nearly two years ago, will be the officer in charge of the Center. He and his staff of professional and clerical personnel are set up in temporary laboratories and offices in An chorage.
 Dr. Haldeman said that investi- gations carried on to date have revealed numerous gaps in sci entific knowledge of the effects of lowtemperature environment on health. He pointed out, for eX- ample, that previously unknown foci of echinoccosis infection Ca type of tapeWorm in animals which causes frequently fatal cysts in mam have been discov- cred among both wild and domes- tic animals in Alaska.
 This disease, Dr. Haldeman ex- plained, assumes considerable public health significance in Arc tic environments in view of the close association between human beings and animals, especially dogs, in low-temperature areas.
 Another significant develop ment reported by Dr. Haldeman was the discovery of trichinosis among Arctic marine mammals, such as whales, which are an im- portant part of the diet in the coastal regions of Alaska. Dr. Haldeman said this problem had taken on additional emphasis with the further discovery of trichi- nosis among Arctic carnivora.
 Dr. Haldeman said that studies in human parasitology have re- vealed high percentage of fish tapeworm among native residents in fish-eating areas. Further studies of this problem, he said, are scheduled.
 In the field of entomology, Dr. Haldeman said that knowledge is being acquired concerning many

us to a part Of the Government
process often overlooked by the
public. That is the commission
that administers regulatory laws
under our commission form OF
Government. Such commissions
have wide discretion, and can
make laws really effective or di-
lutte them.
Involved in this instance is the
Federal Power Commission and
the 1888 Natural Gas Act over
which there has been constant
friction within the FPC as to its
scope. The Supreme Court held
that under that act the FPC
could regulate independent" pro-
ducers, but the FPC has ap-
preached the issue divided ano
warily. The purpose of the Har-
ris- Kerr Thomas bill was to make
sure it did not exercise such
power by a specific prohibitory
statute, a familiar technique ir
recent years. and that measure
squeaked through Congress BY
close margins under pressure from
big oil interests that own the bulk
of natural gas reserves.
Move To Recoup In Agency.
Thwarted by the Truman vote
sponsors of that bill now have
concentrated on the FPC in ar
effort to recoup in the administra-
tive agency. They include politi-
cally powerful figures, notably
Speaker Sam Rayburn, Democrat
of Texas, to whom the President
is beholden for his legislative pro-
gram and who took the floor per-
sonally to jam the bill through
the House by two votes. Another
is Senator Bob Kerr, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma, who has considerable
influence among oil men-of which
he is one-who have been generous
with campaign contributions to
the Democratic Party.
They want the President to re-
appoint to the FPC it's current
chairman, Nelson Lee Smith, 9
Republican, who is sympathetic
with their position. His term ex-
pires June %.
Chairman Smith was not only
for the Harris-Kerr- Thomas bill
and wanted the President to sigr
it. but in the 80th Congress he
was for amendments to the 193t
Natural Gas Act which went be-
yond exemption from regulation
of Independent producers to in
clude also a new rate-makine
formula. In that view he was
supported by Commissioner Har.
rington Wimberly. a Democratic
member from Oklahoma.
Those who fought the broader
Ridley Moore bill of the 80th Con
gress and the Harris Kerr Thomas
bill which President Truman We
toed. are hostile to Mr.. Smiths
reappointment because of his at.
titude.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April
21.-A yellow flyers jacket, pos
sibly an American model, has
been found by a fisherman in the
Baltic 40 miles south of Stock

ported.
The discovery raised specula.
ton that the jacket might have

area for the past two weeks
Search for the plane was aban-
doned last week end.
The jacket had not yet beer

extent of natural gas regulation,
with continual strife.
When the Rizley-Moore bill was
before the 80th Congress, the FPC
on which there was then a va
cancy, divided two and two. with
Commissioners Claude L. Draper,
Republican, and Leland Olds, a
Democrat, opposing it vigorously
and Chairman Smith and Com
missioner Wimberly supporting the
amendments which were regarded
as of about the same effect as the
Ridley Moore bill. .
To the vacancy President Tru-
man appointed Burton N. Behling
head of the FPC's Natural Gas
Investigation staff. When it was
revealed that he sided with Chair
man Smith and Commissioner
Wimberly on the proposed amend
ments and thus would break the
tie in the commission in favor of
the oil and gas industry position,
such a protest arose that the
President finally withdrew the
nomination. Instead he appointed
Thomas C. Buchanan of Pennsyl-
vania, a Democrat, who had
served for several years on Penn
sylvania's utility regulating COM
mission.
This gave the strict regulation
ist faction a temporary edge until
the term of Leland Olds expired
last year. He was re-appointed by
the President, but the oil and gas
interests, ever watchful on the
administrative as on the legisla-
tive front, succeeded in defeating
his confirmation after a bitter
fight. To that vacancy President
Truman named his old friend
Mon c. Wallgren. ex-senator and
Ex-Governor of Washington, who
sided with strict regulationists ir
support of veto by the President
which seems again to give the
majority to that viewpoint.
However, proponents of regula-
ton are taking no chances and
want to prevent Chairman Smiths
reappointment and, if that hap
pens. his confirmation by the
Senate.

while still permitted in Moscow,
are so clearly hemn1ed in that
their effectiveness is almost nil.
1t is to be noted, in this connec-
ton. that the present campaign
against our diplomats is being
carried on in the satellite capitals,
not in Moscow itself. Russia ap-
parently does not desire yet to
bring about a complete break with
the West.
Satellites Absorption Seen.
A more likely reason for this
offensive is Moscow's desire to
force the Western governments
eventually to deal directly with
Moscow on matters concerning
the satellites. This in turn could
be preparatory to the absorption
of the satellites into the Soviet
Union, converting it into kind of
Communist league of nations un-
der Russian domination.
The American Government has
carefully refrained from dealing
with Moscow on matters concern
ing the satellites. We are loath
to give legal recognition to a
situation which exists in fact: the
almost total absorption of the sat-
elites into the U. S. S. r.
Two American flyers have been
held by the Chinese Communists
for months, after their plane was
shot down over North China. The
suggestion repeatedly has been
made that this Government seek
to obtain their release through
Moscow'S Intervention. The Sug-
gestion has been rejected.
The Soviet Union must be re-
garded as constantly expanding
and developing political organiza-
ton which never quite reaches its
full growth. Starting out as one
of so or more separate states
in the commonwealth of nations, 1t
has progressed now to the point
where it controls, besides its own
200, 900. 900 persons, several hun
dred million other peoples-Poles,
Czechs. Hungarians, Romanians,
Bulgarians, Germans and Chinese.
These cannot indefinitely re-
main in the political twilight be-
tween independence and complete
integration into the Soviet Union.
Their ultimate destiny is to be-
come full-fledged parts of the
Soviet Union. The severance
of all diplomatic relations with
the West is one milestone on this
road to incorporation.

Hungary and Romania have

The element that now has been

COP Claim Pepper Defeat Forecasts
 Republican Swing

 National interest in the Florida primary far overshadowed that in the primaries held in three other states yesterday-Ohio, Alabama and Indiana. In Ohio, Joseph T.. Ferguson, state auditor, claimed victory in a seven-candidate race for the Democratic Senatorial nomination to oppose Republican Senator Taft next fall.
 While the issues were clearly drawn in the intra-party Florida scrap, national political leaders differed as to the extent of it's sig nificance.
 Democrats had said in advance that it was more of a personal fight with the result having no bearing on national feelings. They also figured the communist issue raised by Smathers would becloud the picture, and recalled that Pep per vigorously opposed MT. Tru- mans nomination in 1948.
 Republicans had predicted a Pepper defeat would mark a "trend" against the Truman pro- gram, and that's just what COP national chairman Guy Gabriel son labeled the outcome. Tn a statement issued shortly after Pepper gave up, Gabrielson said:
 "The Florida primary confirms the trend. Voters everywhere are turning toward the principles for which the Republican party has been fighting, and against the so- cialism of President Truman fair deal.
 Pepper was supported by the CIO, AFL and railroad brother hoods.
 Smathers pictured Pepper as having given comfort" to pro- communist groups.
