Valley Hospital Assn. Dies; Valley Hospital Assn, Inc. is Born

Only 29 persons were present at the Valley Hospital Associa- ton meeting Friday. February l5 and with the quorum stipulated IT. the bylaws amounting to l30, it was impossible to carry on bus mess legally.
 The association membership list includes 260 persons who paid their life e-of-the- organization membership fee of one dollar. Secretary Julia Graves announc- ed that she had sent cards to all members even though she knew they were no longer in the Val ley; many cards were sent to the States. All present agreed that t would be impossible to get a quorum together. It was decided to let the present association die a natural death when its charter expires next May.
 Bylaws for new association, Valley Hospital Association, Inc. were explained by Anchorage At torney Paul Robson. Incorporat- ors are the present board of dir ectors-Rev. George Geiwitz, Rev. Harry Gayley, Rev. Roland Arm strong, Max Sherrod, Virgil Eek ert, Mrs. Graves and Mrs. John Devries-and George Smith, Paul Martin, Jim Hurley, and Erwin Doyle. Dues in the new associa- ton will be $5 yearly, and no property rights go with member ship. Upon dissolution of the association, the property would be given to another charitable organization, which might include a health district or city.
 One of the problems facing those present was a legal trans fer of the present hospital prop erty from the dying association to the new one. Those present gave confidence vote, authoriz- ng the board to effect this trans fer. A further effort to forestall future legal difficulties will en- tail the sending of cards telling of the transfer to all members at the last known address, Failure to register protest within speci- fled time will be interpreted as tacit approval of the action.
 Hospital Lost ss Daily
 Hospital Manager O. K. Kincaid gave a report of the Valley Hospi- al's financial condition showing current assets at S35,952.51. Fixed assets amounted to $19,621.63. To- tai liabilities, including unredeem ed bonds and pledges, were $l9,- 200. Kincaid's report showed that the hospital had operated at a S3.- 431.63 loss during the past year. The annual $3,000 subsidy from the National Board of Presbyter- ian Missions took care of part ot this loss, and there were mlscel- laneous donations totaling $45.37 A total of $3,000 in accounts re- ,eivable had been written off as bad debts.

Montreal Jail Riot
QueIIed After Dozens
Of Fires Are Set
By the Associated Press

MONTREAL, May 5.-Trun-
heon-brandishing police finally
quelled some $40 rioting prisoners
at Montrears Bordeaux Jail last
night.
The men, demanding better
food and shouting for a new Jail
governor, marched and shouted
about the jail yard for five hours,
setting dozens of fires.
At least three persons-two
prisoners and a guard-were in
jured but not seriously. Provincial
and city police. hastily summoned
to reinforce jail guards. put their
firearms aside for nightsticks and
let the rioters frenzy subside be-
fore they moved into the yard.
There was no gunfire.
The mob began returning to the
main building more or less volun-
tarily after they were told new
food and fresh fruit was being
brought them. Their demonstra-
ton had erupted in the mess hall
over a supper Of head cheese, corn
and potatoes.
Will Expedite Probe.
The jail governor. DR.. Zenon
Lesage, saio an inquiry mo tne
riot would be made as soon as
possible. After midnight he an
nounced that all was quiet inside.
The riot damage was estimated
unoftlcially at more than $10C 900.
Some inmates, whose cells had
been burned out, were taken to
police headquarters to sleep in
cells. So were four men await
ing trial on murder charges.
All the other prisoners were
short-termers, with sentences of
less than two years.
More than 200 firemen were
kept busy for two hours putting
out widely scattered fires which
the rioters touched off in cells,
the machine shop, canteen, mess
hall, kitchen, storeroom and near
the chapel.
On their way from the mess
hall to the prison yard, the mob
broke into a section of the ad-
ministration Offices and wrecked
it.
No Sign Of New Outbreak.
Late last night guards said the
prisoners were cleaning up some
of the debris and there was no
indication of any new outbreak.
AS the cleanup progressed, po-
lice cars brought crates of oranges
and apples to the Jail.
DR.. Lesage defended the Jail
menu. "The food is always good
in this place." he said. I'VE buy
the best all the time"
He said all the convicts in the
jail proper took part in the riot.

Lack Of Daring Slows
Atomic Work, Says
Noted u. ). Scientist
BY the ASsoeiofed Press

A noted American scientist says
lack of daring by Government Off
cials is slowing down the develop
ment of atomic power plants for
civilian use and novel weapons for
the military.
| DR.. Kenneth S. Pitzer, former
chief of research in the Atomic
Energy Commission, said he does
not believe the programs are be-
ing held up Intentionally. But
/ do feel that there certainly are
procedures being followed which
are not the best for rapid develop
ment," he said.
Where an engineer offers a de-
sign for an atomic reactor, if there
lis some feature which some one
thinks may not work, DR.. PitZer
said, too often the decision has
been. No, we won't build it."
The 38-year-old scientist, now
head OF the University of Cali
fornia chemistry department, gave
his views in copyrighted inter-
view IN U. S. News & World Re-
port. a weekly news magazine.
Would Cut Red Tape.
The atomic program, he said,
should be placed under the tech
nical guidance of men with real
daring and enthusiasm. Also one
must avoid excessive red tape"
He said he was not advocating
greater spending.
DR.. PitZer said military author.
tiles have been pushing pretty
hard" in the atomic program but
civilian officials are the ones who
are too cautious.
Il have a feeling that certain
weapons programs are not going
as fast as they could where they
are of a very novel character"
he said. "On the other hand. I
think the Los Alamos laboratory
has done a bang up job within
it's capacity and facilities in the
regular weapons field"
He recommended that indus
try have a greater part in atomic
developments. He suggested that
private contractors build and
operate reactors and the Acc fur
nish uranium and plutonium at
a specified price. Industry would
be free to sell power and other
by y-products. he said.
Vital Interest for Industry.
The fact that industry is put
ting it's own money into Govern
ment-sponsored atomic study
groups Indicates industry is vital
ly interested in financing nuclear
power plants. the scientist added.
DR.. PitZer said he did not fore
see use of atomic power for run
ming automobiles or heating
homes.
There is a minimum size be-
low which the thing just won't
work at ALL" he said.
DR.. PitZer said he was salts
fed that the development of an
atomic engine for submarines was
being pushed and he believed such
a power plant would be the first
practical atomic motor developed.

|Repot 80 Decline
In Profits for 81
By Nelson M. Shepard

Based on reports from 13,455
insured commercial banks, net
profits after taxes for the year
1851 were down per cent from
the 1850 peak, the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp. reported
today.
This led Chairman Maple T.
Harl to assert that the past year
was "one of the most prosperous
for our banks in the history of
this Nation.
Net profits before taxes of
$1.468, 100000 and dividends of
S415 million both set records. Mr..
Harl noted, however, that in
creased taxes left net profits after
taxes at 1903 million. accounting
for the 3 per cent drop from 1850.
Federal and State taxes on net
bank income totaled $500 million,
an increase of $132 million over
1850. the summary of bank re-
ports disclosed.
Gross current operating earn
ings reached a new record of
$4,395, 100000, up $465 million
from the previous high in 1850.
Nearly 80 per cent of the increase
was from higher earnings on loans
which were up to a record level
of $2,425, 100000. At the same
time, operating expenses rose II
per cent to $2,701, 100000, of
which more than half went into
salaries and wages.
The FDIC report showed the
average pay for bank officers as
$6,589 and for employees $2,581.
Both scales were slightly above
1850.

Stocks Drift Lower,
with Changes SMALL;
Traders Indifferent
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. May 5.-The stock
market drifted lower today after
an uncertain start.
Most of the declines were frac-
tions and the losses were spread
through every major category.
The market was quiet right
from the start and the session was
a third gone before there was any
sign of definite move in either
direction.
There was nothing sharp or
sudden about the turn downward.
It was a slow drifting movement
without any particular force be-
hind it..
The steelworkers were back on
the job and steel production rose
steadily. The squeeze from the
Oil strike became tighter with little
sign of a settlement.
Among the steel stocks, Repub-
Tic moved ahead a fraction and
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem and
youngstown were down a similar
ly small figure.
In the oil group, Sinclair,
Standard Oil New Jersey and
Texas Co.. were of slightly.
Among the wider losses were
Amerada Petroleum (down around
three points at times) and Texas
and Pacific Land Trust (off around
two points at one stage).
The declines included Chrysler,
U. S. Rubber, Zenith Radio, Ana
|conda. American cyan mid,
Southern Pacific and Northern
Pacific.
The advances included Magma
Copper. Du Pont, JohnS-Manville
and U. S. Gypsum.
On the bond market, corporates
dropped lower in light trading.
Governments were steady.
