TB HEALTH SEALS MAILED THIS WEEK

Attractive green, red and yell ,ow health seals were in the mai this week. Anyone who did not receive seals may contact Mrs. Viola C. Thuma and they will be mailed, it was announced.
 Today there are 5000 tubercu- losis associations. Their programs include such activities as Adult, Community, and Patient Educa- tion, Research, School Health, worldwide activity work with doctors and x-rays
 Because of the facts about TB in the United States today much work remains to be done. The purchase of these health seals contributes toward this tremen- dous job. Tuberculosis causes more deaths than all other in- fectuous diseases combined; about 100000 persons are estimated to have active TB with approximate ly 115,000 persons developing ac- tive TB every year.
 No one need feel that he has to give to the Seal Sale. Millions of people give because they want to. In addition to Mrs. Thuma, seals may also be obtained from Mrs. Margaret Cope at the Pal mer school.

HYdatid on st. Lawrence Island

HYdatid on St. Lawrence Island
 According to information re- ceived through the Alaska De- pertinent of Public Health, hyda- tid disease in dogs is endemic on St. Lawrence Island.
 This disease manifests itself in cysts which are found in various parts of the animals body and consist of encysted larval tape worms. It is dangerous in that it can be contacted by human be- ings. Hydatid also affects the vole, a small mouse, which is found on the island. A quarantine of all dogs on the island is being con- sldereo.
 Another problem which is rec ognized by the Department of Health is the large number of dogs which are found in and around the principal populated areas. The Department of Health has announced the will be glad to cooperate with city councils in setting up regulations for immun- izing all licensed dogs against rabies.

Constantine Brown:

Gen. Mark Clark, supreme
Allied commander in the Far
East. ordered the air forces in
Korea to celebrate fittingly the
start of the third year Of the
war with the Reds.
A 500-plane force blasted for
more than 80 minutes the vital
hydroelectric plants south Of
the Yalu River. The main plant
at Suiho is reported to have
been completely wiped out.
Ever since it became obvious
that the Panmunjom cease-fire
talks were nothing but a blind
to permit the Reds to build up
their forces on both sides of the
Yalu, everybody wondered why
the Allied air forces gave the
hydroelectric plants the same
sanctuary privileges" they were
giving the Chinese airfields in
Manchuria.
These plants, situated close to
the river which forms the
boundary between North Korea
and Manchuria, were erected by
the Japanese more than 20 years
ago. They provided between 70
and 80 per cent of the electric
current used by the arsenals in
Mukden and Kirin. And it was
the Mukden arsenals which
produced the major portion of
guns, ammunition and small
tanks for the Red forces.
The Manchurian arsenals were
constructed by the Japanese
after the invasion of the Chi
nese mainland. Later, during
the last war, when the Ameri-
can carrier-based planes began
to visit the Japanese islands
regularly the Manchurian arse
nails were substantially devel-
oped and became the most
efficient arms factories the Jap
aneSe had.
After VI day the Russians
took over Manchuria tempo
rarily" and moved the tools Of
these arsenals to Siberia. When
the North Korean Peoples Re-
public was organized under the
control of Moscow the Japanese
machinery was retransferred to
Manchuria. German, Russian
and japanese engineers and
foremen were placed in charge
and since 1851 the arsenals have
been on a 24-hour-a-day sched-
ule.
While a direct attack on the
Red arms factories across the
Yalu was considered inadvisable
lest the war in Korea be eX-
panded beyond the scope Of a
police action" it was difficult
to understand why the hydro
electric plants which were sup
plying the major portion of elec-
tricity had been left immune.
This question was asked re-
peatedly of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff by members of the Armed
Services Committees of Congress
but no satisfactory answer was
ever given except that the legis-
lators had better direct their
inquiry to the top civilian policy
makers.

that his men should not obey

ton.
Mr.. Truman has shown all
along his dislike for the Taft
Hartley Act, and in a recent
press conference he came near
saying that he would enforce
only those laws Of which he ap-
proved. It so happens that the
Taft-Hartley Act was passed

the war in Korea alone and
limited that a decision on that
matter could be taken only
with the full concurrence of
our Allies, and principally the
British.
It Is a fair speculation that
the British agreement was OBJ
tanned as a result of the recent
visit to Tokyo and Korea by
Britain's Secretary Of Defense,
Field Marshal Viscount Alexan-
der. The British field marshal,
who was Gen. Clark's superior
officer in the Italian campaign
during the last war, is no poll
tician but a thorough soldier.
Field Marshal Alexander was
probably convinced by Gen.
Clark that the least we could
do in the present impasse, when
the enemy is strengthening his
firepower every day, was to de-
stroy the main source of electric
current supplying the Manchu-
rian arsenals. He must have
shared his conviction with the
London cabinet. The result of
whatever exchanges may have
taken place between Alexander
and his London colleagues was
that Gen. Clark sent on the
mission most of his available
bombers which did indeed q

There is a good deal of specu-
lation as to how the Red high
command will react to this un-
expected development.
According to some official
"guessers" the Chinese may at

major offensive against our

Mr.. Truman has been within
his rights in refusing to use the
Taft-Hartley Act. That law
says a President may invoke
the Injunction process if, in his
opinion. a threatened or actual
strike or lockout will "imperil
the national health or safety"
Congress has not directed" the
President to use that law. It
merely has requested" him to
do so. One wonders why Con-
gress doesn't make it manda-
tory for the President to use
the Taft-Hartley Act. but, for
reasons Of its own. the Congress
has not seen fit to do so and
therefore is equally to blame for
the loss of production in the
current steel strike.
Granted that the Taft Hart
ley Act postpones by 80 days a
decision as to what to do If the
steelworkers' union and the steel
industry management have not
agreed on a basis for settlement,
the fact remains that. when the
80 days have been used for the
purpose specified in the law,
then and then only Congress
will feel compelled to pass a law
authorizing seizure of the indus
try for an indefinite period.
Mr.. Truman and the steel
workers union know that this is
what is likely to be done, and
that's why they vehemently op-
pose the first step. because it
inevitably will lead to the sec
ond. It is not relevant as a mat
ter of law for the President to
say the union has already waited
more than 80 days beyond it's
contract expiration. and that
hence waiting is futile. The law
doesn't date the waiting period
from any starting point as pri-
vate parties may designate. It
dates the wait from the day the
President invokes the law itself,
and that's really the next step,
no matter how unpalatable it
is for Mr.. Truman to employ a
statute of which he doesn't ap-
prove but which. so far as the
Constitution is concerned, is the
law Of the land.
