Drastic Changes In Alaska
 OPS Rules Are Announced

JUNEAU - Several d "a S t c changes in Alaska's retail OPS regulation were announced today by the Office of Price Stabiliza- ton.
 Fred G. Hanford, Territorial OPS Director, said the changes should have little effect on selling prices. He listed the following amendatory provisions in Regula- tion g, the Territory's retail price control regulation:
 - After September 12, retail merchants may use their tradi- tional percentage system of mark up instead of the dollar-and- cent system required under the pres ent Regulation 9. The merchant may use their system but must use the same system throughout his store.
 2- After September 30, retail CTS may not offer for sale any article covered by the regulation unless it is marked or tagged with the ceiling price plainly visible to the buyer (Regulation covers all goods shipped into the Terri tory and offered for sale. It does not include goods produced within the Territory0
 3- After September 30, retail merchants must post a sign in a prominent place in their store stating that the prices of mer- chandise in the store are no higher than the OPS ceiling prices for the article.

ing rift between them in recent years.
 The legislator who went most vigorously to bat for Williams after an Interior Department emissary asked for his resignation prior to the 1851 legislatures ses- sion. was Sen. Howard Lyng of Nome, one of Gov. Gruening's most outspoken foes within-or without-the Democratic party in Alaska.
 Williams told friends at the time that he was standing pat; that he was appointed by the President, not by the Interior Department, and it would take a resignation request direct from the White House to get him out.
 Williams is owner of the week ly newspaper at Wrangell. Read CTS have noted an increasing in- clination by Williams to take glancing shots at Alaska admins trative affairs and personalities in his personal column in the paper.
 The dismissal was the second of a presidential appointee in Alaska to be ordered by the Presi- dent within two weeks. On Aug. 31, President Truman dismissed Frank Bingham as US. Attorney in Alaska's Second Judicial Div iSion at Nome.

1O&o BOOST IN RAIL FREIGHT RATES IS BLOW TO ALASKA DEVELOPMENT
ANCHORAGE DAILY TIMES)


 ANCHORAGE DAILY TIMEs
 An increase in freight rates the Alaska Railroad is just about the last thing that anyone could reason ably expect.
 Disclosure that the tariffs will increase 10 percent effective October 15 do nothing other than stun the entire rail belt.
 The boost knocks the economy of the into a cooked hat.
 It will raise living costs while the government is making extraordinary efforts to prevent a raise
 It will retard the development of Alaska while the federal government is trying to speed it.
 It will increase the cost of the military construc ton program while the government is already over whelmed by the present operating costs
 The higher rates come after the railroad experl- enced the biggest freight year it's history and when it is just beginning to harvest the benefits ot the gigantic rehabilitation program
 The action is contrary to every promise and pre- dicton made in recent years.
 It is in short, amazing.
 There must be something wrong with all the cal cuations that went into the rehabilitation of the rail- road during the last few years
 Railroad officials announced publicly that there would be 25 percent reduction in operating costs when the overhaul job concluded. This reduction was to make possible lower freight rates.
 The lower rates would result from the replace ent of expensive steam locomotives with dieSes the replacement of dppy-doppy shops with modern sruc- tures the replacement of decrep wooden freight cars with modern steel rolling stock; the elimination ot
  strengthening of bridges and all the other improve ment projects.
 Alaskans were told that the savings would be passed along so that the cost of moving freight would be less.
 While this gigantic program was carried forward, the volume of business done by the railroad increased tremendously From 1887 until 1947 it had increased more than four times from 157,717 revenue tons to 641 841 revenue tons.
 Since 1947 the volume has continued to increase The governors annual report for the fiscal year 1850 noted that the railroad had concluded it's biggest year in history.
 Last June the railroad closed it's fiscal year 1851 with the volume of business still greater than in 1850 And bigger years are ahead Next year will see more tonnage moving the railroad than ever be- fore And the year after that the indications are it will be still greater In any ordinary business it is automatic that greater volume brings lower units costs. The Alaska Railroad could be expected to each ton at lower cost the volume increased And with the $47O0OOOO capital investment in the rehabilitation program the spread should have been still greater.

TWO CASES OF POLIO
 REPORTED AT NOME

Dr. Fred Langsam, public health officer at Nome, announc- ed there are two cases of polio myelitis. Both cases have been isolated.
 A case was also diagnosed in Fairbanks last week.
 With the approach of the polio season, health officials and To- cal doctors join in the precautions against polio.
 The following is a list of Dos and Dont's, presented from the June issue of the Alaska Health magazine, copies of which were distributed to the children of the Palmer public school at the close of the school term:
 DO
 Allow children to play with friends they have been with right along. Keep them away from new people, especially in the close daily living of a home.
 Wash hands carefully before eating and always after using the toilet-especially important when polio is around. Also keep food clean and covered.
 Watch for signs of sickness, such as headache, fever, sore throat, upset stomach, sore mus cles, stiff neck or back, extreme tiredness or nervousness, trouble in breathing or swallowing.
 Put sick person to bed at once, away from others, and call the doctor. Quick action may les sen crippling.
 Telephone your local chapter of the National Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis, if you need help. Locate through telephone book or health department. No patient need go without care for lack of money. Your chapter will pay what you cannot afford.
 Remember-at least half of all polio patients get we'll without any crippling.
 DON'T
 Get overtired by hard play, ex- ercise, work or travel. This means men, women or children.
 Get chilled. Don't bathe or

Peiershurg Fur Farm To Test Effects of Aniihiotics on Mink

Whether or not pelts for mi lady's mink coat will come about a third larger and will reach their maximum growth in about one-third less time, is of particu- lar interest to James R. Leekley, biologist in charge of the Peters burg experimental fur farm this year
 According to Don L. Irwin, who visited the farm recently on an inspection tour, experimentation with antibiotics in the breeding and feeding of poultry has pro- duced astounding results at Wash ington State college, Pullman. There, pr. A. E. McGinnis, poul- try head, has been working with antibiOtics in poultry feeding. 1t was found that those poultry with antibiotics added to their dies grew about a third larger, about a third more rapidly, and matured more quickly.
 Dr. McGinnis arrived in Peters burg about three weeks ago to as sist in setting up an experimental program in which the use of anti biotics in connection with the salmon-Waste feeding of fur bear ing animals will be tested.
 The bureau of fisheries is coop- erating on the experimental work by collecting 18,000 pounds of fish waste This will be tested for pro- tein, fat, and minerals of nutri- tive value at the bureaus Ketch- ikan laboratory.
 .Fish waste is the major part of the ration fed fur bearing ani- mals. Antibiotics will be added to the rations of a few of the test groups. At present the expert ments extend only to mink, MT. Irwin reported. Later, work with antibiotics may be extended to foxes, marten and other fur bear ing animals.
 MT. Irwin reported that prices were good on furs this year. Furs pelted at the Petersburg farm are sent to the Seattle Fur Exchange There, Irwin added, the prices on long-haired furs are coming back, after having reflected the low fa- vor of such furs the past few years.
