 Dr. Witzel gave a brief de- scription of the work of the Alaska Department of Health, as carried to isolated communi- ties, many of which have neither doctor nor dentist. The SS Hy- giene, trucks, and now the rail- road unit are attempting to bring some measure of health protection to such communities.

House Passes
 Red Activities ~Spotlight" Bill

WASHINGTON, (P) - With overwhelming House approval, bill designed to put the spotlight on activities of communists and their fronts" moved today to the Senate amid prospects it would be passed next week.
 The House okayed the measure by a whopping 354 to 20 late yes terday after several hours of de- bate.
 Should be Senate version of what to do about communists diff fer from that of the House-as is likely - the differences will be ironed out by negotiators from the two chambers.
 The vote in the House exceeded that given two years ago when it passed the original Mundt-Nixon bill. The vote for that bill, which died in the Senate, was 319 to 58.
 The House-passed bill includes major features of the old Mundt- Nixon measure, plus some new ones drawn up by the un-Ameri- can Activities Committee.
 A new feature makes it a crime for communist or member of communications organization to hold job in the government or in a defense plant.
 Most of those who spoke against the bill in the House argued that it provides guilt by association and thought control.
 Many supporters replied that they did not believe the bill went far enough in dealing with com muniSts.
