ALASKA HEALTH FUNDS
SLASHED IN WASHINGTON
Due to failure of the Territory
to appropriate adequate match
ing funds, the United States Pub
lic Health Service has cut the ap
propriation of the Alaska Depart
ment of Health for fiscal 1942i
(beginning July 1, 1941) -approxi-j
mstely $14,000 below the present j
vear’.s budget.
Dr. Courtney Smith. Assistant j
Commissioner of Health, receiv-l
ed from Surgeon General Thom
as Parran notification that the
Territorial Department will re-:
ceive only $33,400 under Title VI
of the Social Security Act and
$6,200 of a special venereal dis-J
ease fund, as compared to budget
requests of $44,625 and $10,140
respectively.
Further Cut
Even the $6,200 alowed for ve
nereal disease control cannot be
uced by the' Department, as its
use depends upon the Territory
putting up one half that much in
addition. The Legislature appro
priated $2,500 for the purpose, so
only $5,000 of the Federal appro
priation will be available.
In view of the increased respon
sibilities of the Department, parti
cularly tho'e brought about by
the great increase in population
at national defense centers, the
funds cut is considered most un
fortunate.
Missouri Out Entirely
The Department has received
word that the entire Federal Ma
terial and Child Health appro
priation for the State of Missouri,
has been cancelled th:s year on
grounds that State officials have
not met Social Security Board
standards.
The Alaska slash undoubtedly
will mean drastic reduction in
the amount of venereal disease
control drugs which will be dis
tributed next year, as well as a
curbing of the activities of the
Tuberculosis -Clinician, whose
travel funds will be affected. A
badly-needed Laboratory Techni
cian in the Anchorage lab will
also be have to be dispensed
with.

ed European nations prepared to
close doors at the request of the
Nazi Government.
Many problems urgently re-|
quire clarification, it is said, in
cluding the sinking of the Am
erican freighter Robin Moor and
also technical questions involved,
including the caring of French
and English interests, who will at
tend to this work, and what na
tion will look after American in
terests.
It is estimated that from 75 to
80 American Consular officials
and employees are affected by
the closing order of United States
Consulates.

dence that some American Con
sular officials have gathered in
formation in Germany for the

SERTOUS FOR NIPPON
TOKYO, June 25 — Japanese
Premier Konoye conferred with
Emperor Hirohito but it is not
disclosed immediately whether
the current international situa

cussed.
Indications are that Japanese
Government leaders and military
heads are discussing the situa
tion in small groups preparatory
to a regular Japanee Cabinet ses
sion soon.
The Railway Ministry anounc
ed the suspension of the sale of
passenger tickets to Russia or oth
er points in Europe via Vladiv
ostock or Manchuria.
Japan is outwardly calm, con
sidering the outbreak of war by
Germany and Italy on Russia.
Japan is a member of the Axis
but also has a friendship pact
with Russia.
It seems evident that no im
mediate move will be made by
Japan in the international situa
tion which confronts the Nippon
Kingdom.
Great caution is being exercis
