Heart Disease Seen as Challenge Despite Gains in Research

The present stage Of the attack
on heart disease offers both en-
Icouragement and a challenge, DR..
Paul Dudley White, executive di-
rector of the National Heart In
stitute, said last night.
In reviewing the last 40 years
of heart disease research, DR..
White said there is much cause
for optimism. although. para
Idoxically, the death rate from the
disease has continued to climb.
DR.. White. professor Of medi-
cine at Harvard Medical School,
spoke to members of the Scientific
Council of the Washington Heart
Association in the District Medical
Society auditorium.
In 1911" he said, 1--WE didn't
have time to, study much heart
disease. We were too preoccupied
with the acute infections which
swept the country in epidemic
proportions. We failed to recog-
nize heart disease through igno-
rance of the signs and lack of
study equipment. We didn't know
how to ask the right questions"
Forms Now Classified.
He pointed out, however, most
of the acute infections-pneu-
monia. meningitis. dysentery and
the like-are no longer problem.
Heart disease is now recognized
and the many forms of it can be
classified and treated. Heart sur
gerry has made tremendous strides.

Governor Gruening Halls General Property Tax

JUNEAU, P) - Gov. Gruen- ing hailed as a territorial gain, the Circuit Court of Appeals find ing that Alaska's disputed general property tax is legal.
 He declared the reversal of the Alaska District Count ruling makes it clear beyond argument that the territory now is on a sound financial basis, that it now has a comprehensive, while wholly moderate, tax structure; that after years of obstruction and procras- tination Alaska's financial house is in good order"
 The Circuit Court in San Fran cisco handed down a decision re- versing the 1850 ruling by Judge Harry Pratt of Fairbanks. Judge Pratt had held the 1949 legisla- ture's tax law to be invalid.
 Governor Gruening had been a longtime advocate of the general property tax as a cornerstone i'm his ott-proposed "basic tax pro- gram" It was passed by the leg islature that also enacted the ter ritorial income tax, the business license tax, the tobacco tax, and the quadrupled fishtrap tax.
 Attorney H. l.. Faulkner said al Juneau yesterday he would have to receive and study a copy of the Circuit Court ruling before a decision can be made on Whe- ther to appeal the case to the U. S. Supreme Court.

Alaska May Get More Defense Aid From Govt.

JUNEAU, May 9-A bill which will give Alaska additional money from the federal government for defense, seems to have a good chance of passing Congress, Gov ernor Ernest Gruening said, fol- lowing his return from the na- tional capital.
 The bill, which would give grants in a larger proportion than Ia 50-50 matching basis, has been reported on favorably by the Sen ate Armed Service committee, he said. Although there are other hurdles to come when it hits the Senate floor, the governor was op- timistc on its final passage.
 On the matter of the much-dis- cussed elimination of the 25 per cent cost-of- living allowance for Federal employees hired in the Territory, the governor said he and Delegate Bartlett had argued the matter with every member of the Department of Interior appro- priations committee and that sec tion of the bill had finally been killed on the floor. But it is still to be fought in appropriations for other departments, he said. At present, it is included in bill for appropriations for the De- part1nent of Agriculture.
 The governor estimated that the cut would have effected about l0,- 900 Interior Department employees |in Alaska had it passed.
 The governor was in Washing ton about five weeks on Terri torial 1nahtegs.

Will Use Regular Army Units Bolster Alaska CarrisOns
By ELTON C. FAY AP Military Affairs Reporter

4SA4AAAoAy x14AoAAS
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The mili- tary hopes to use regular army units in meeting congressional de mands for buildup of the Alas kan garrison, keeping federalized National Guard divisions intact for other assignments.
 A regular army regimental com bat team may be the first major addition to the force guarding Alaska against the danger of "a possible Russian attempt to gain a foothold there, it was learned today. Only the narrow Boring Straits separate Alaska and So viet Siberia. "*
 A Senate Armed Services sub committee on preparedness, turned in a critical report earlier this year on the state of Alaskan de- lenses. 3 Last week Defense Secretary Marshall, testifying in the Senate investigation of Far Eastern pol icy said he was concerned in 1948 over the army obtaining enough men to guard even air strips in Alaska against possible seizure attempt by airboane troops. He did not say what he thought about the situation now. - H,. :
 By midsummer of 1949, the army garrison had increased to about $500. This included both combat and non combat units.
 Although there have been few Alaskan strength figures published since then (and none at all since the start of the Korean war) there have been indications of some in crease beyond the 1949 strength, particularly i'm anti-aircraft units. Such units are essential for hold ing airfields against enemy para troops.
 The strategic concept of defend ing Alaska is predicated on the idea of using comparatively small burt highly mobile and heavily armed units which could be de ployed to threatened points. "Total" defense of all coast and the interior of the vast and poad- less territory was ruled out as too costly in manpower.
 An airbome regimental combat team is considered by some strat- egists as the ideal nucleus for an Alaskan defensive force. CThe size of an RCT varies considerably, but usually ranges between 4,O00 and 1000 men.)

''pUDDY TATS" K NAME OF FOOTBALL
 SQUAD OF LIONS

A new name for the Lions Club softball Team has been passed cT the baseball commissioner of tkc Channel Civic Club League Oscar Ovaltine, it was announced by the soitball czar today.
 The name "Puddy Tats" was sell ected after q fierce struggle in the inner office with the League sec- retary, Miss Myrtle Priff. Later Miss Priff stated that the struggle in the inner office had nothing to do with the selection of the name.
 Both the local of the Plumbers Union and the Anti-Saloon League objected to the first club team name promulgated, in the conten- tion that even with Lions what they are "The Growlers' was a mis- homer and brought back memories of other things.
 A misunderstanding arose early in the meeting when some zoolog- ically ignorant players represent ative suggested that the Lions be called "Stripers," a name common ly connected with tigers. Certain other connotations ruled this name out too, it being felt that once man has paid his debt to society he should be loosed on the com- munity again without further iden- tification.
 An announcement will be forth coming soon as to the authorized (and printable) name for the Ro- tary team.
 The softball game is the starter for the Salvation Army drive to be made in Juneau.
