ISOLATED KING ISLAND HAD NO FLU" THIS WINTER

Isolation may have it's prob lems and drawbacks but it has it's advantages too.
 The ANS office here, which communicates with isolated King Island, have ascertained that there has not been a single case of flu on the island this winter.
 Except in case of emergency his small community does not have plane service in the winter and are completey isolated from the rest of the world except by radio-phone operated by the ANS teachers, MT. and Mrs. Bill Ras- musson. They are the only white people on the island along with Father Carol, the Catholic priest.
 No flu cases were reported from Igloo, either.

He announced at Sitka last Fri day he was resigning because of what he called the Incompetent cy" of the chief medical officer.
 Dr. Moore recommended the leg islature bring whatever pressure it can for inquiry by qualified individuals who have no connec- ton with government agencies and "have no iron in the fire" He strongly urged they ask the Am erican Medical Association to aid on the medical aspects of the in quiry.
 Senator Jones asked: "You mean there is danger the whole pro- gram may be popped out the window?"
 "Yes sir," Moore replied, "that's it."
 Moore said the surgical pro- gram is coming to an end in mid March when Dr. Coddington is leaving, and ending that program would mean an end to the supply of bones used in the orthopedic program.
 Dr. Mooore placed responsibility for the conditions on divided auth ority of the Alaska Native Service, US. Public Health Service, and the Alaska Department of Health, and what he described as arbi- trary orders of the chief medical officer, Dr. Chambers.
 He said one order brought two-week shutdown in the ortho- pedic operations until the ANS office overruled the medical of ficer.
 In response to questions, Moore said getting the whole Alaska pro- gram under one territorial head, with federal financial assistance continuing, would be desirable, as such a step would allow elimina- ton of the whole policy of segre- gation and racial discrimination.

Edgecumbe Medical Chief Denies Program Is Imperiled; Dr. Moore
 Decries Chiefs Arbitrary Orders
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Dr. Duncan Cha1- rners, chief medical officer at Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center, de- clared Wednesday "there is no basis in reality at alp for doc tors statement to the Alaska leg is1ature that the institutions medical program is imperialed.
 Dr. Philip H. Moore, orthopedic surgeon for the Territorial Health Department, sounded a dire warn- ing of irreplaceable staff losses in addressing a joint session We'd nesday.
 Moore, who is president of the Alaska Medical Association, asked for an inquiry into the whole Blu reau of Indian Affairs medical program.
 Chalmers told a reporter the center has a half dozen surgeons who can adequately carry on it's program in all forms. The Wash ington office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs has assured us there are plenty of competent sur geons available for any necessary replacements in either orthopedic or thoracic fields"
 Chalmers denied Moore ale gation that his order for a doctor anesthetist to stop administering anesthesia in orthopedic cases had stopped such surgery for two weeks until the order was over ruled.
 Chalmers asserted a nurse-an- esthetist was available for ortho- pedic surgery; that she had done it prior to her absence on a train ing course, and on her return he (Chalmers) ordered the doctor dI1GSL11Gl1SL LO IGSU111e WOIk WlIn thoracic cases and the -nurse-an- esthetist to take over the ortho- pedics.
 There was no reason for stop ping of surgery" he declared.
 He submitted his resignation last August 'but I'm fighting now to stay until can resign and walk out gracefully; not be pushed out. "
 Another doctor figuring in the controversy is Dr. Fred Codding- ton, thoracic surgeon and tuber- culosis specialist at Edgecumbe.

HEADQUARTERS, U. s. Army, Alaska - A group of 26 Alaska scouts, all but two of them na- lives, has just completed 15-day course in military leadership prin- ciples at Fort Richardson.
 The course was comprehensive and placed strong emphasis on map reading, compass reading, scouting and patrolling. One typi- cal morning, devoted to daytime reconnaissance patrols, went some thing like this:
 A pre-patrol briefing was given the men by SEC Clarence Allen, a native of Noatak. Few of his words were more than two syllables; most were only one. After ex- blaming the problem clearly, pointing out the objective on a blackboard, and indicating the route to be followed, he summed it up very simply: "Go out, see what you can see; then come back, say what you see"
 The group was broken up into four G. to 8-man squads which moved out separately at 10-min- ute intervals. The enthusiasm with which the men plunged into the problem was impressive. Many had come from regions where natural cover was virtually un- known, but from the way they used trees and bushes for camou- f1age an observer would have thought they'd lived in a jungle all their lives.
 Their stealth was amazing. Not a twig cracked; not a bush moved. Without complaint they slithered on their bellies through cold, wet snow. They were almost blurs as they sprinted across cleared areas and quickly merged with the veg citation on the opposite side.
 When the squads had reached their objective and returned to the classroom, a critique or critic al review was held.
 Sergeant Allen again presided and called on each squad leader in turn to report on what his squad had seen and done. In minute de- tail they described moving ve- hicles, instructors standing on the hillsides, and roads and buildings visible from the observation point.
The Nome nugget., 1953-03-06

They told of tracks they had seen in the snow, at first thought to be 'man tracks" but which they finally decided, after closer examination, had been made by a moose. They told of sighting three of the animals-a bull, a COW, and a calf. Two very ordi- nary dogs, lone was white and one was black" were also very carefully included in the account.
 The audience listened attentive ly and Sergeant Allen made cor rective comments from time to time. He warned the men against frightening away any large ami mai they might encounter, point ing out that it's rapid flight would give away their presence to the enemy.
 One squad had flushed some "aggressors," strategically posi- toned along the route, and had exchanged imaginary shots with them. When this was disclosed, Sgt. Allen told the men that since they were on a scouting mission with the sole purpose of obtaining information they should have avoided a fight with the ''enemy." "
 At this point an indignant mem Der of the squad rose to his feet to say that his squad leader had been in danger and it was up to him to protect his squad leader.
 There's nothing casual about these scouts. They take both class work and practical work serious ly. As one instructor put it, "It's kind of funny sensation to teach a group of these natives at first. Their eyes bore into yours. They have no expressions on their faces. You'd swear everything you say is going over their heads. But brother, do they fool you!"
 Army chow is something that most soldiers complain about. Not so with the Eskimo scouts. Even though many Of them have never eaten anything but meat and fish, when they go through the chow line they take some of everything on the menu. They eat it, too.
 Probably very few of us could take to Eskimo dishes as easily as they take to ours. Their favorite dessert is, quite logically, ice cream.

Letter Asks Aid For Mass Sickness I'm Native Village

ANCHORAGE, R- An account of mass sickness in an isolated native village reached here We'd nesday night in a postmaster's letter appealing for medical aid.
 Reg White, the postmaster and storekeeper at Stony Village, wrote of the plight of the approx imately 40 inhabitants of Lime Village, located 21O miles west of here. His letter said:
 "I report that Katherine and Alexandria Bobby staggered in here yesterday evening sick and worn out. Broke trail 35 miles.
 'They have a new outbreak of sickness with Is in bed and seven up who can just get around to take care of the others. Old Bobby and wife, they think, are dead by this time but perhaps a doctor might save some children but not all.
 T request an answer immed- lately. If you are unable to give these people medical attention I will report to the US. marshal at McGrath, who, in turn, will notify the governor of Alaska. White Fish Lake is 35 miles by river from here and F to 15 minutes flying.
 1T for one am not going to stand idly by and see these people suf- fer and slowly die for want of medical attention"
 The Tenth Air Rescue Squad ron here said Lime Village was extremely isolated and landing conditions for planes were very difficult. A flight to there was planned for Thursday with the possibility that medical supplies and personnel would have to be dropped by parachute.
 A light Civil Air Patrol plane carrying an Air Force doctor left here Thursday for Lime Village, which was reported struck by a mass influenza attack with sec ondary complications.
 The Tenth Air Rescue Squadron called the CAP. into action when it found it would be impossible for their heavier planes to get into the remote area.
 The light L-5, piloted by Mason Lazelle, was carrying Capt. Carl M. Russell, a doctor from the 5O05th Air Force Hospital group.

Virginia Chairman
Urges Postponement
0fG.0. Convention
BY the Associoted Press

ROANOKE, Va, April IT,
State Republican Chairman S.
Floyd Landreth of Galax has
asked party central committee
members for authority to post
pone the State convention sched-
uled for June.
Mr.. Landreth noted in queries
to committeeman that the week
end of June 6 is the only one
that month for which hotel and
auditorium facilities will be
available in Roanoke.
That would be too early to con-
slider nominating a gubernatorial
candidate, the chairman said,
and recommended putting off the
convention until late July or ear
ly August. Waiting until after
the Democratic primary on July
IA would not injure Republican
prospects, Mr.. Landreth declared.
One of the reasons some party
members urged a June conven-
tion was to act before the Demo-
cratic primary.
The chairman said his view
point was shared by State Sena-
tor Ted Dalton, national G. O. P.
committeeman from Radford.
Mr.. Landreth said he should
know the inclinations of COM
mittee members in a few days.
If the majority favor going ahead
with the June 6 convention, he
will proceed to call it. Otherwise
he will wait.
He said he favored Roanoke
as the convention site even if
it meant deferring the meeting.
No readily diScernible prospect
for the gubernatorial nomination
appears on the G. o. P. horizon,
since Senator Dalton declared
himself out of the race last
month. He had previously mar
shaled the overwhelming support
of the party.
