Distemper Outbreak Prompts Emergency Funds and Action

Jim Wilson, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Dr. James Paz- aruski territorial veterinarian will leave Palmer this week for Tanacross and Northway where they plan the vaccination of dogs in the two villages that have been hit by a prevalence of dis temper.
 The Alaska Native Service teacher at Tanacross sent word to the Department of Agriculture that II dogs in the village had died and another II were sick with distemper. Marjorie Myren, public health nurse, notified the Palmer office that six dogs have died at Northway and another 26 are afflicted.
 Upon receiving word of con- ditions in the two villages Com missioner Wilson contacted Gov- ernor B. Frank Heintzleman for emergency funds to help in com batting the outbreak One hundred units of vaccine have been auth orized and the Alaska Native Ser vice has agreed to assist in the program.
 Last year serious losses were experience in the areas around Nome, Kotzebue and Wainright.
 Questionnaires are being sent out to teachers and nurses in is- plated areas in a search for quail flied persons who will administer the vaccines.
 The men plan to spend Satur- day in Tanacross and on to Northway on Sunday, where they will vaccinate as many dogs as possible which have been expos ed to distemper. Wilson said as far as can be determined there are approximately 200 dogs in the two villages. Medicants will be administered those already af- fected.
 Wilson said that they hope to have an additional 200 units available for emergency use in areas where the dogs are econ omically important. Many of the Natives in the affected areas are dependant upon their dogs for transportation on their trap lines. They hope to be able to treat the young dogs, in these cases, he , added.

included petroleum products,

There were four explosions

nounced today it has denied pa
roles to Benjamin Davis, one Of
the convicted top eleven" of the
American Communist Party, and
Gambler Frank Costello.
Davis, colored. former member
of the New York City Council,
is serving a fve-year sentence in
the Federal prison at Terre
Haute. Ind. on conviction of
conspiracy to teach and advo-
cate the violent overthrow Of the
Government.
Costello, serving 10 months for
contempt of Congress, started
the Federal sentence last August
and would be eligible for parole
tomorrow, after completing one
third of the time.
Costello is serving at the Milan
(Mich) correctional institution.
AS is usual, the board gave no
reason for it's action in turning
down Davis and Costello.
Costello's conviction and SEN
tence resulted from his refusal
to answer questions before the
Kefauver Senate Crime Investi-
eating Committee.
A delegation pleaded for two
hours before the parole board
earlier this week in Davis be-
half. It included John j. Abt,
who spoke as Davis attorney,
and Paul Robson, the Negro
