Easter seals to many citizens in this
area with the plea that they purchase
them in order to provide funds for
this kind of work.
The society is an independent no.

the Easter seals is used for ortho-
pedic aids such as artificial arms,
legs, hands, braces, special shoes,
clutches, wheel chairs, etc; for vo-
cational guidance, special education,
transportation, research and other
needs.
Many Oakland persons needing this
service are cared for in Allegany

organization here but the Maryland
society has named Mrs. f. L. Baum
gartner as county chairman.
The annual sale of Easter Seals is
the chief source of income for the

In December 1948, follow ing the termination of the Interim Plan and at the end of a long and costly Mari time Strike, AIaska's ship ping industry faced an aI- most total collapse.

NO PERMANENT SOLUTION PREPARED

Despite the complete cooperation of the Alaska Steamship Company, and presumably all of the other parties to the Interim Plan, in submitting full rec cords and information, by the spring of l948 it became apparent that no per- manent legislation would be prepar- ed in time to become effective at the ter imitation of the Interim Plan on June 30, l948.
 As a safeguard against complete chaos in the Alaska Shipping industry, the Alaska Steamship Company began a determined effort to have the provi- sions of the Interim Plan extended. We discovered an amazing and an incred- ible thing found that Governor Ernest Cruening was actively sabotaging any hope for this urgent extension through both the Maritime Commission and the Congress.
 After general agreement had been reached on House Joint Resolution 396, which would extend the provisions of the Interim Plan, Governor Cruening in- stigated substitute bill (H. J. Res. 4Ol) which would have tied Alaska shipping to the apron strings of the Interior De.

 During World War II and for the immediate postwar period, all Ameri- can shipping was requisitioned and operated for the government under sup ervision of the U. 5. Maritime Commis- sion. During two postwar years under government operation, losses in the Alaska trade were enormous. For l945 the deficit amounted to S2,5OO,OOO and for l946 approximately $4,OOO,OOO.

NORFOLK, Va. (NNPA) -.
Qualified colored Virginians, whose
applications have been approved
by the Attorney General of the
Commonwealth, will be accepted
at the College of William and
Mary law school without a court
fight, Dudley w. Woodbridge,
dean of the school of jurispru-

before the Norfolk-Portsmouth
Bar Association.
Woodbridge made the statement
of policy in listing segregation as
one of the current problems in
legal education.
He said the trend among law
schools is toward the abolition of
"Jim Crow" and he added that
the usually ultra-conservative Yale
University School of Law has pro-
posed that any law school prac-
t;cing racial segregation should
be barred from membership in the
