New York, Dec. 14.-The
merger movement-in it's third
great surge of the last 70 years
is heading for court review.
The urge of Bethlehem Steel
and Youngstown Sheet and
Tube to merge dramatizes the
big question in the public mind:
Is making a giant company out
of two or more smaller ones a
good or bad thing for the rest
of us?
It is now up to the courts to
decide whether this particular
merger. one of the largest ever,
would: /. Tend to lessen COM
petition in the steel industry, as
the Justice Department charges;
or 2. Actually increase COMPETE

by putting them in a better
position to challenge the in

Steel-which would still be the
biggest.
Squirt Of Mergers
The great squirt Of mergers
since World War II has involved
some 1000 manufacturing COM
panies with total assets of
around $40 billion. Merger in
financial. retail and other seq
mentS of industry would bring
the total number of companies
involved to around 1000.
The first big merger move
ment was from 1890 to 1904,
when bankers put together big
integrated combines aimed at
dominating a market. This was
the great heyday of watered
stocks. 1t led to the Nations
antitrust laws.
In the 1920's bankers again led
a merger movement, with the
main aim apparently to provide

NO DUMB BLONDS - The

written strong letter of protest
to the Fireside Theater on NBC-
TV concerning a recent program
/ 1t seems the program told the
story of a beautiful but dumb

because it was too difficult to

get rid of her by promoting her
out of their office.
Finally. when she had Just
about reached the top Jewel of

nothing to do but find some gall
liant bureaucrat who would be
willing to make the supreme sac
rif1ce of marrying her to get her

ject to a humorous or spoofine
treatment of Federal employees
But the AFGE objected to the
implication that it's impossible
to fire incompetent employees. II

each year from the Federal

 A note presented to the Foreign Office in Moscow by the US. Elm bassy asserted full Soviet respon- sibility for the destruction of the twin-engine Navy Neptune lover international waters of the Sea of Japan"
 The US. plane was shot down by two Soviet fighters.
 Russia claims it had violated the Soviet frontier, and had fired on the Red fighters when they tried to warn it away.
 The US. note denied every im- portant detail of the Soviet yer sion of the incident, in line with the position this country took publicly at the time of the affair.
 Charges included $939,183 for loss of aircraft and $50,000 for next of kin to the killed airman.

 He charged the Republicans with mud singing, smear tac- tics" in the campaign.
 "The Republican element in charge, including the paid profes- sionals from the states, went too far" he asserted.
 We Democrats want and the territory needs properly func- tioning Republican Party. These below the belt tactics, based on innuendoes, character assassina- tion and plain falsehoods, should be put into the woodshed per manently."

Health and Medical Care Programs
 Reached More Natives in First Year Of Public Health Service in Alaska
Washington State.

Washington State.
 The addition of nurses, techni- clans and native aides also has enabled expansion of the chemo- therapy program for care of ann bulatory tuberculous patients and their contacts from 10 villages served in 1855 to more than GO villages with about 10000 natives.
 More Hospital Admissions
 PHS spokesmen use the word notable" in referring to the in- crease in hospital services during its first year of operation in the territory.
 Admissions to Alaska Native Service hospitals totalled 5,5l4 in the year which ended last June 30--a IA percent increase over the previous year. Outpatient care and preventive services provided by the hospital staffs went up from 84,956 to 98,296. Births in- creased 25 percent from 464 to 578.
 To handle this added load, PHS built up the Alaska staff from the 1,O16 employees it took over with the program to l,215.
 
 It also provided field health services-in such matters as san itation, control of communicable diseases, and nursing-thru con- tract with the Alaska Department of Health. Nineteen Alaska na- tives trained by sanitarian aides now are working turnout Alaska on a part time basis teaching methods of waste disposal and construction of sanitary facilities.
 In another move to provide guidance for an improved pro- gram in Alaska and the states, the surgeon general recently named an advisory committee on Indian health. Alaska's represen- tative on this committee, named for four-year term, is Robert B. Atwood, editor and publisher of the Anchorage Daily Times.
