A TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL FOR NOME
Relative to the sanatorium, or the two or three
tuberculosis hospitals for Alaska. We feel
that something should be clone in the very near
future in this locality. . !
From the number of natives rejected by the local
draft board, we find extremely vital statistics, re- I
lating to the condition of health of the native eski
tno in northwestern Alaska.
A small percentage of the natives pass the phys
ical requirements for military service because of
tuberculosis, either in the active or inactive state.
Tuberculosis is ah'- extremely communicable dis- !
ease, being transmitted most often through person
al contact in the home.
Although much has been said and done regard- ■
ing the infections rlature of tuberculosis, the na- 1
tive eskimo who is. infected seems not to under
stand, or realize the seriousness of the situation
itt order to guard against contagion. I
The tuberculosis infected native is either unable
to understand instructions, or to put them into
practice, unless some responsible person can at all
times watch over the patient.
At this point the necessity for the sanatorium
Comes into existance, for the car' and treatment
necesary to effect a cure in the majority of cases.
Until recently no specific drugs, serum, or vac
cines had been found to prevent or treat tubercu
losis infection. Truman S. Potter, a scientist of
the University of Chicago, had developed an ex
perimental vaccine for tuberculosis, one which has
given excellent results on rabbits, and is now
ready for use on humans.
In a modern sanatorium most persons have a ,
reasonably good chance of full recovery, through i
proper diet, regular bed rest, and in some instances
through surgical treatment.
With the supervised care which patients would
receive in the sanatorium, many of the persons
tuffereine from tuberculosis, could recover com- '
pletely, and be, in place of a liability, an asset to
the.community.
Nome is the logical place for the suggested hos
pitalization of persons suffering from tuberculosis
in the northwestern parts of Alaska, in view of
all the statistics which we are at this time able to
gather, pertaining to the numbers and percentages
of cases in each locality, and with all relating fac
tors considered, number of patients, distances for
transporting patients, supplies, center of the popu
lated area, and with the consideration of initial
cost, as well as upkeep. Ntt other location could
contribute more to the fulfillment of the project.
The health of our citizens is of primary import.
TEHERAN DECLARATION
We, the President of the United States of Amer
ica, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and the
Premier of the Soviet Union, have met in these
four days past in this the capital of our ally.
Teheran, and have shaped and confirmed our com
mon policy.
We express our determination that our nations
-hall w’ork together in the war and in the peace
that will follow.
As to the war, our military staffs have joined
in our round-table discusions and we have concert
ed our plans for the destruction of the German
forces. We have reached complete agreement as
to the scope and timing of operations which will
be undertaken from the east, west and south. The
common understanding which we have here reach
ed guarantees that victory will be ours.
And as to the peace, we are sure that our con
cord will make it an enduring peace. We recog
nize fully the supreme responsibility resting upon
us and all the nations to make a peace which will
comand good will from the overwhelming masses
of the peoples of the world and banish the scourge
and terror of war for many generations.
With our diplomatic advisers we have surveyed
the problems of the future. We shall seek the
cooperation and active participation of all nations,
large and small, whose peoples in heart and in
mind are dedicated, as are our own peoples, to the
elimination of tyranny and slavery, oppresion and
intolerance. We will welcome them as they may
choose to come into the world family of democrat
ic nations.
No power on earth can prevent our destroying
the German armies by land, their U-boats by sea,
and their war plants from the air. Our attacks
will be relentless and increasing.
Emerging from these friendly conferences we 1
look with confidence to the day when all the peo
ples of the world may live free lives untouched
by tyranny and according to their varying desires
and their own conciences.
We came here with hope and determination. We
leave here friends in fact, in spirit, and in purpose.

the period during which they
were married
No individual is exempt from

from sources within the United
States is equal to or greater than
the amount specified above for
President of the United States,
nor the Vice President, nor Fed
eral Judges, nor Members of Con
gres, are exempt from filing ret
urns. However, the filing of re
turns may be postponed by in
dividuals who are outside the
United States, particularly mem
bers of the armed services, as

ried status has existed through
out the year* may, however, be
taken entirely by either, or div
ided between them in any pro
portion agreed upon.
A husband and wife who live
together at the end of the taxable
year and who are citizens or res
idents of the United Slates may
elect to include the income of
each'even though one has no gross
income* in a single return made
by them jointly on Form 1040,
regardless of whether they made
their previous returns or declar
ations of estimated tax jointly or
separately. In a joint return the
aggregate income, deductions and
credits are computed as though
husband and wife were one per
son. If a joint return is filed by
two persons who married during
the year, the personal exemptions
attributable to each during the
period before marriage is allow
able in the return notwithstand
ing that one may have no income.
A joint return must be signed by
both husband and wife, or by an
agent if the taxpayer is <a) too ill
to sign, or 'b* absent from the
United States for 60 days before
the due date. Where an agent
signs, however, a power of attor
ney on Form 935 must accompany
the return.
A short form return, Form
1040A, in which the tax due may
be readily ascertained from a tax
table in the return, may be filed
by citizens or residents of the
United States whose total income
in 1943 came only from salary,
I wages, dividends, interest and
' annuities, and was not more than
$3,000. A joint short form return
! may be filed by a husband and
wife who were living together on
i July 1, of the taxable year if their
| combined total taxable income
was not more than $3,000, or they
may elect to file separate short
form returns. If either uses the
long Form 1040, the other may
not use the short form. Married
persons who are temporarily
apart while on military service
or ether business are deemed to
be living together.
If any doubt arises as to what
form of return should be prepared
and filed, advice may readily be
secured from the office of the col
lector of internal revenue.
