CANCER MEMORIAL
 FUND !S SPARED

Establishment of a memorial fund to which friends and relatives of cancer victims can make con- tributions as a tribute to these victims. was announced today, by Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, Com mander of the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society.
 The nucleus for such a fund, Mrs. Hermann stated was received last week in the form of a sub ,stantial check from group of friends, in Fairbanks, honoring the memory of a prominent woman in the Fourth Division, who was recent cancer victim.
 Tn all such cases, Mrs. Hermann pointed out, a card is sent out from the Alaska Division, notifying the nearest of kin that such a contribution has been made, and expressing appreciation of the gift. It is a case of serving the living, III HleillOly Ol Clc uCaui oAAS 'O'e~N, since funds received for this pur- pose are used to finance resarch education and other services that may help save the lives of poten- tial victims
 Contributions to the memorial fund may be made in the same manner as other contributions, Mrs. Hermann stated. The donor simply mails a check to Cancer, Juneau, Alaska" stating the name, and next of kin, in whose memory the donation is made, and 1t will be credited to the proper fund and sent on its way to help in the great fight to conoIer cancer.

R0TARIANS HEAR TALK BY RECIPIENT
 OF STUDENT LOAN

Rotarians learned more abou their own student loan fund today l -learned it in terms of a promls- ing young Juneauite to whom 6 $500 loan had helped start his career in the nations best-knowr technical school.
 Dale Rolf, who will be a junior at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology when he returns in the fall spoke informally to the club at the luncheon meeting in the Bara- nof Gold Room.
 He gave a brief account of the history of this land grant institu- ton founded 8S years ago and now almost entirely self-supporting. Rolf told of the important role MI.T. played during the war, when its classrooms were crowded with stu dents and its laboratories busy in important research by distinguished scientists.
 As to nonacademlc activities, Rolf cited particularly the symphony orchestra of 70 pieces, the MT crew and the band in which he played clarinet.
 About social organization, RoIl said, They play much less i'm rortant part than on any campus. The average person at MT. is not a joiner, but a studier."
 He mentioned the difficult en- trance requirements but empha- sized that students are gwen every opportunity to prove their ability.
 Rolf pointed with pride" to the three Juneau students now attend ing the famous school-Dick Win gerson, sophomore in chemical engineering; Cliff Cole, a fresh man, and Elwyn Messer, who is studying engineering. Rolf is changing his course from chemical engineering to architecture, when he returns.
 A. N (GiD Eide was chairman of the program and introduced the young speaker. Henry Harmon, chairman of the club service com mittee, will be in charge of the program next week.

BUDGET pR0p05E5 FUNDS FOR ARCTIC
 HEALTH INSTITUTE

Appropriations of funds for es- tahlishment of an Arctic Health Institute at the University of Al aska were proposed in the budget submitted to Congress yesterday by President Truman
 This was revealed in a telegram from Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett to Dr c. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health.
 The Presidential budget proposes the appropriation of S975,000 in cash plus contract authority for S6,375. eco for establishment of the institute.
 The Board of Regents of the University of Alaska has already donated land upon which the buildings of the Institute could be constructed.
 House Joint Resolution '. in- troduced by Delegate Bartlett a year ago, first brought the need for a health institute to the attention of Congress.
 The resolution pointed out that the full potentialities of this area cannot be realized until substantial numbers of additional persons can be induced to establish permanent residence. .'' and migration is not likely to occur until health conditions can be made satisfactory
 It stated that a serious obstacle in the way of correcting health and sanitation deficiencies in Alaska is the lack of specific knowledge re- garding the operation of physical laws, biological processes, and hu- man adjustments under circum- stances peculiar to Arctic regions, and asked for appropriation of ST. 775,0O0.
 The resolution introduced by Bartlett stated that the U. S. Pub- lie Health Service and Territorial Health Department as well as the medical departments of the armed forces are prepared to conduct and assist in the conduct of re- search in Arctic health problems" if adequate facilities are made av- ailable
 Terming establishment of an Arctic health institute vital to the future welfare of Alaska" Dr. Albrecht, member of the Uni versity's Board of Regents, said that the institute would further focus the eyes of the scientific world on the University of Alaska as a great educational, research and scientific institution of the Arctic and sub-Arctic world"
 Territorial health officials have said that research in Arctic health has been long delayed" by lack of suitable facilities which would enable qualified scientists to carry on a program of sufficient length and scientific thoroughness to pro- duce conclusive results
 Of the countries which have vast holding in the Arctic, only Rus sia has established research cen- ters in such areas, they stated.

Ten Chinese Nationalist soldiers failed for a second time today to tear down the British flag at a consulate on Formosa. They were angry at British recognition of Communist China.
 Communist China has accepted Britain's offer of diplomatic recog- nition-but with some strings at tached. The Chinese Communists say they want to negotiate before the opening of diplomatic rela- tions.
 Madame Chiang kai-Shek left New York by plane this morning to join her husband in Formosa. The Nationalist Government of China is making a last stand there against the Communists.
 The President of Chile, Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, is expected to sign a treaty with the United States when he visits Washington in April. It will cover friendship, commerce and air traffic between the two countries. ....
 The new United States of Indo- nesia Government says private army in west Java is threat ening to make war on it. A spokes- man said in Jakarta, Batavia, to- day, that a fromer Dutch army captain is leading several thousand soldiers.
 Countries recognizing Communist China must also extend full dipio- matic cooperation and friendliness. That's what Indias Prime Minister Nehru is quoted as having said. He addressed closed session of the Elytish commonwealth Foreign Ministers today.
 Democratic Senator A. Willis Robertson of Virginia wants the Senate Banking Committee to sponsor a move to apply the anti trust laws to labor unions. And Senator Homer Fergu- son of Michigan plans to introduce a resolution asking President Tru- man to use his Taft Hartley Act emergency powers to end the three Jov u,ooL iy, tho r,,inaS

He would be enormously proud
if Twelve O'Clock High" should
turn out to be the best screenplay
of the year in the Academy's vot-
ing. One reason for this is that
it is about the Air Force characters
he was associated with in combat.
He thinks they are the greatest

THE thing about writer's who
can't get started is that somehow
they always do get started" he
says. Il did, although I have for
gotten just how. I wrote '13 Rue

feel very proud although it made
money. Then Daryl Zanuck of
Goth Century Fox pulled Down to
the Sea in Ships off the shelf.

writer's had a crack at that. I

better, but it was an appetizing

We knew the story and we knew
just exactly what we wanted to
do with it. But it just could not
be written that way. UP to then,
save for the first few months after
the war, T had thought of myself
as pretty good sort of crafts
man if nothing else. All of a sud-
den, lost even this confidence" "
He and Mr.. Lay, as writer's will
when they have good story and
enough stubborness, kept writing
and throwing away what they
wrote.
"It was Zanuck who Strengthened
us out, or me out" Mr.. Bartlett
recalls. HE took one of the scripts
