 Chamber of Commerce Iun- cheon Thursday to hear the letter from Captain w. K. Rhodes, USN, to the City Council and Chamber of Com merce.
 The Naval Stations Com mandlng Officer asked the council what plans they had for a larger and improved water supply, sewerage sys- tenn and an improved garbage and trash removal program should the housing project in the east addition become a reality.
 The Captain further pointed out that police and fire pro- lection requirements would grow and the general overall , sanitary requirements would need expansion.
 During the discussion period other correspondence was read by the secretary but the letter from Captain Rhodes occupied the greater part of the time. In discussing the sanitation
 in town the Capt. said, many
 homes rely on septic tanks for sewerage disposal. Many of these tanks are located on
 higher ground than private
 weIls... such practices are not conducive to civic health and a
 modern seweage system
 should be taken into consider
 ation."
 James Martz, c of c presi- dent, asked Secretary Hazel Smith to prepare an answer to
 Captain Rhodes letter. She l will be assisted by Paul Dup Ter and Dr. A. Holmes John- son. The finished letter will be submitted to the membership
 of the c of c at the next regu-
 lar meeting for approval. The letter further stated: This command is in receipt of many letters from civilian employees of the Navy Dept. (civil service) who complain that the medical and dental facilities in the city of Kodiak are definitely not adequate and that it is necessary for them to obtain dental and specialized medical attention either in the continental US or in Anchorage.
 Dr. Johnson told the c of c that he had tried several times ] to get an additional doctor to
 come to Kodiak but that he
 had been unsuccessful. , In regard to medical and
 dental attention on the Naval
 Station the letter said, it is a ] physical impossibility for our Navy doctors and dentists to care properly for civilians in , thls community"
 Captain Rhodes suggested that a minimum of three. at torneys would be required to
 handle adequately the city's legal obligations should the housing project be co mpleted.
 Dupler said that he did not holoxra tbora woe opo-.L

our acetone from maize.
Now Maize contains about two

our sources of supply were very
wide; so that this discovery en-

the center of an important indus

In Kings Lynn there was an
oil-coke factory which had been
converted in 1912 to make ace
tone from the starch content of
potatoes. It had come into the
field with promises of supply, but
the quality of it's output was not
satisfactory and financially the
company was unsteady. So in
March, 1915, it was nationalized
and by June it was making ace
tone from maize by the Weiz-
mann process with highly sue
cessful and valuable results. The
shipping shortage in 1917, which
forced us to restrict all unneces-
sary imports, induced yet another
experiment. In the autumn of that
year horse-chestnuts were plenti-
full, and a national collection of

Speaker Criticizes
Bricker Proposal

Members of the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club yester-
day were urged to oppose the
Bricker amendment when it
comes up for consideration at
the next session of Congress.
Adrian S. Fisher, former legal
adviser to the Department of
State. said that conducting for
eign relations could we'll be i'm
possible under the restrictions
the amendment would impose.
Democrats" he said, who
have been the most responsible
party in the field of foreign re-
lationS, have particular difficult
position in that field during a
Republican administration"
Speaking at a club luncheon,
he compared Democrats to a re-
serve crew in an aircraft on an
important mission which is be-
ing flown by a different crew.
ITO our amazement," he con-
tinued, I'VE see members of the
crew which is in charge engaged
in gleeful attempts to tie the
hands of the pilot, and throw
out the window the instruments
which are needed by the navi-
gator"
In the field of foreign rela-
tions, Mr.. Fisher added. it makes
very little difference which crew
is at the controls if the aircraft
crashes.
Mr.. Fisher gave the luncheon
guests varying descriptions of the
Bricker amendment as seen
through. the eyes of opponents
and proponents. Beginning with
the Articles of Confederation, he
explained the background of
United States treaty powers and
safeguards set up in the Con-
stitution.

gagged in private practice, was in
