Territorial Warrants Issued Before 1, 1853 No Longer Payable

JUNEAU - The Treasurer of Alaska, Hugh J. Wade, has noti- fled all banks in Alaska that the Attorney General has ruled, at the request of the Treasurer, that Territorial warrants issued prior to April l, 1853, are no longer payable.
 The 1851 Legislature added a section to deficiency appropria- tion bill, which provides that Territorial warrants must be pre- sented for payment within two years after the biennium in which they were issued.
 The decision makes it possible for the Treasurer's Office to con- sider paid approximately 2,OO0 of outstanding warrants - some of them dating back as far as 1917. The amounts of the warrants range from cents to $346- the total of all of the warrants is approximately $2O,OOO.
 The decision makes for better bookkeeping, according to Treas urer Wade, but he warns persons holding Territorial warrants to cash them promptly because they are now considered paid, through operation of law, if they are not presented for payment before two years after the end of the bi- ennium in which they were issued.

WASHINGTON, R' - Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele pro- mises an expanded medical pro gram for Indians as the Public Health Service takes over their health service.
 The Indian health and hospital program has been operated by the Department of the Interior. Con- gress last year authorized the Public Health to take over the program today. It affects 350,000 Indians living on reservations.
 Scheele said "Preventable ill., nesses are accounting for half the deaths among Indians who live on reservations" He said lin 1850 the average age. at the time of death among these people was only 36. Tn contrast it was 61 among the white population"
 The program Scheele proposes calls for increased Public Health and preventatives services.
 A division of Indian Health, the service said, has been created to administer the program. It will be headed by pr. James A. Shaw who has been handling the pro- gram for the past two years in the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Ask Congress For Special Maritime Mediation Service

WASHINGTON, RI - Commo- dore Robert c. Lee, vice chair man of the Moore Mccormack Lines, asked Congress yesterday for special maritime mediation service.
 He told the House Merchant Marine Committee he'd be willing to try anything designed to pre- vent frequent interruptions of ser vice with inconvenience to pas sengers and shippers and result ing loss of cargo to foreign ships.
 Lee said he favored a draft bill prepared by the committee staff to provide a separate federal media ton service for the maritime in dustry.
 Lee agreed with Rep. Dorn R-NY) and other committee members that management abuses of sailors in years past are largely responsible for rigid demands from labor unions today.
 "Conditions Tor sailors were de- plorable in the 20's," Lee said, 'sbut I fear now it could go too far the other way" Lee said he felt that working conditions have been improved to the point that life at sea is very attractive to most seamen now"

"Oh, see, through confusions grim mists
 That today blind sght with frustration,- The noble ideals that burned in the hearts
 Of the patriots who founded Nation One hundred long years and seventy nine
 Have passed since, freedom to save, They attended the birth of God-given Land Of the free and the home of the brave !" "The rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air. Lit the way for Nations beginning When Flag futtered OCT the foes despotry And stayed to accomplish it's winning Now invisible dangers threaten Land
 For lamps flicker low with distracton,- May the rockets and bombs of wisdom and truth nlumine the paths of right action Broad stripes and bright stars" the Through perilous fight, May their sight still inspire hold great And give proof through the clouds O night, Give proof that the tenets forefahers held
 Which we've lived for- II And that must rally in force their
 And faith in them utter again. "Oh, say, does that star-spanged banner yet wave"

Hoover Reorganization Commission
 Wraps Up Two-Year Job But Report On Public Power Brings Sharp Dissent

WASHINGTON, R - T h e Hoover Commission wrapped up it's two-year job today embroiled in controversy, but claiming it's reorganization plans, if adopted, would balance the budget and permit tax cuts.
 Former President Herbert Hoo yer, its chairman, issued a 18th and final" report-it isn't quite final because another will be along in mid-July-and prepared to withdraw from public life at age 80. @
 The group-its formal name is the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government--is due to go out of existence at midnight Thursday.
 The public power issue caused the commission to expire in blaze of conflict. A Hoover re- port on water resources and power" issued Wednesday urged a drastic curtailment of federal power development and larger scope for private utilities.
 It drew sharp dissents from of the l2 members, including both Atty. Gen. Brownell and Defense Mobilizer Arthur s. Flemming.
 James A. Farley, former post master general in the Roosevelt administration, charged the re- port came dangerously close" to inviting the government to "abdi- cate" it's responsibilities in devel- opment of the nations resources.
 Rep. Holifield D-CaliD wrote 84 pages of stinging dissent and promised to press his attack on the floor of the House.
 Holifield charged an l,800- page report of the commissions task force on power - which he said cost the taxpayers $430,0O0 was withheld deliberately" from public distribution at this time, but is destined, he said to become a handbook for private power company propaganda"
 A commission spokesman said the task force report was delayed in printing, but might appear next week.

With these two pictures, Zukor

patterns for motion pictures that
the merger of their two compan-

that, all film producing compan-

drama gave way TO more mature

In Alexandra

Establishment of short-term
care facilities for mental patients
in Alexandria was urged today
after 1t was disclosed that a
lunacy commission met In an
ambulance when there was no
place. to take violent patient.
The patient, strapped in an
ambulance outside Alexandria
Hospital, was ordered sent to q
State hospital in Staunton.
The incident occurred April 20
when the Penn Daw rescue squad
of Fairfax County was called to
pick up a violent man at John
Roberts Homes in Alexandria.
City ambulances were all out on
calls at the time.
Turned Away Three Times
The man was refused admit
tance to two Washington hos
pitalS. and later was not per-
nitted to enter Mount Also Hos
pital because he did not have an
honorable discharge, according
to Alexandria Hospital officials.
Returned to Alexandria, the
man was too violent to be taken
from the ambulance, hospital
officials said. A lunacy COM
mission was called and he was
ordered to a mental hospital by
two doctors and Police Court
Judge James r. Duncan. -Four

Underscores Need
Mrs. James Fort, president of
the League of Women Voters,
said the incident ''underscores
the great need for local facilities
for diagnostic study and short
term treatment or detention of
mentally Ill patients.
The hospital, a few days earlier,
had asked the State to inspect a
room which might be suitable for
holding insane persons. A hos
pital spokesman said that until
facilities approved by the State
can be provided, the only legal
action that can be taken with a
mental patient Is to commit him
to Jail or a State institution.
