Pumping Station Bids Deemed Too Hiqh

The District will have to reject
a group of bids on the main in

pumping station because they are
too high, Water Division officials
said today.
Lowest of four bids on the final
phase of the So million job. which
has been going on for four years,
was $6S8,3O0. The balance avail
able for the work, however, is
only about $450,000.

A deficiency appropriation may
be necessary. The Bryant street

NARCOTICS BUREAU HEAD REPORTS 5O.OOO ADDICTS

WASHINGTON, lP) - Senate investigators studied reports last week that a powerful underworld ring is rcaping riches from the misery of at least 5O,OOO drug ad- diets.
 The reports came from com missioner II. J. Anslinger of the U. $. Narcotics Bureau. Ansling- CTS force of 175 agents, some Sen ators say, is too small to cope with the situation.
 Anslinger gave his estimate of the number of narcotics addicts to the special committee investi- gating crime and gambling.
 Chairman Kcfauver D-Tenn) told reporters the number repre- sents those who buy narcotics il- legally-that is, from sources out side the medical world.
 Anslinger has given the Senate group a list of 800 persons who, he says, form a criminal ring deal ing in narcotics, crime and even murder.
 Kcfauver said it is obvious tha, the narcotics traffic extends to every city of any size in the Uni ted States.

POWER NEEDS INCREASING

WASHINGTON, (P)-The pow CT Commission estimated yester- day that Alaska's power needs may increase within the next dec ade to 864, 100000 Kilowatt hours a year.
 That would be almost seven times the Territory's l947 require ments, the Commission said in a report on a survey made at the request of the Seattle district of the Army Engineers.
 The Commission said it's esti- mates were made on the assump- ton that in 1860 Alaska's wood will be developed and present pulp industry and Arctic oil fields military activity will be contin- ued.
 The report pointed out that Alaska's population centers are n ot connected electrically and probably will not be within the fOreseeable future because of dis tances, climate and terrain in VolVed.
 It said high costs of construc- ton and operation have resulted in high electric rates and are largely responsible for slow de- velopment of power in Alaska.

ALASKA'S ISOLATED AREAS COMPARED to K'NTUcKY Mts.

JUNEAU, June 6, 195O-Living conditions in Alaska,s isolated areas are no more primitive than in many communities in the Ken lucky mountains, according to Bertha L. Bloomer. Alaska Health department urSe-midWife in the Naknek district. After two years in that post, Miss Bloomer arrived in Juneau this week to become maternal and child health nursing consultant in the central office here. Prior to coming to Alaska in 1948, she served with the From tier Nursing Service in Kentucky for four years.
 "Much the same health prob lens and emergencies confront residents of both territory and state when they live far from medical aid," she commented. She added that public health nurses in such areas must be prepared 10 meet emergencies of many types, and also attempt to precede the stork when he is expected at out posts.
 ''In Alaska we travel by air plane and dog team, in Kentucky by horse and jeep. Here it's "Weather" we battle, and there it's sudden rising of the rivers that must be forded because brid- ges are few.
 Living conditions in Ken tucky's isolated areas are often more primitive than Alaska's," Miss Bloomer continued. She said this seemed to be due in part to the fact that the buildings here are often newer and of better

Merchantmen 10 Test
Blockade Of Shanghai
BY the Assoeiofed Press

HONG KONG, May 25.-Hong
Kong shippers are ready to make
a new test of the Chinese Ma
tionalists' blockade of Communist
Shanghai.
They want to find out whether
merchantmen can get into the big
Red port now that Nationalists
have lost the Chusan Islands. The
Chusans. 100 miles southeast of
Shanghai, gave the Nationalists a
fine sea and air base near the
Yangtze River estuary.
There still is the matter of
mines. however. The Nationalists
say the Yangtze mouth has been
mined heavily.
Published reports here said the
3.372-ton Mausang of Jardine
Matheson & Co. is scheduled to
sail tomorrow for Shanghai.
Agents for the freighter Brook
lyn Heights of the American Is
brandtsen lines let it be known
they are accepting Shanghai
bound cargo and expect the ship
to sail June l or 2.
The last Isbrandtsen ship to
try to make Shanghai was the
Flying Arrow. She was riddled
by Nationalist navy shells of the
Yangtze mouth last January.
