Newspaper Publishers Suggest
Government Develop Alaska
Power To Produce Newsprint
WASHINGTON, UP—A spokes-$
man for newspaper publishers
suggests the government could
help relieve the newsprint short
age by developing power in Al
aska to operate paper mills.
All the forests there mean
nothing in providing newsprint
unless there is power, Cranston
Williams, general manager of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Assn., told a House Commerce
subcommittee yesterday.
Williams suggested the govern
ment could build a kind of ‘TVA’
in Alaska. He said he had been
told streams in Alaska did not
carry enough water to make it
practical for private investors to
build power dams.
Other than the Alaskan power
suggestion, Williams said “I don’t
know of a specific thing Congress
can do today” that private in
vestment couldn’t do to help i*e
lieve the scarcity of newsprint—
the paper on which newspapers
are printed. The subcommittee is
studying the problem.
William said he did not agree
with those who say “sit tight and
all your troubles will be over by
1958.”
North American have announ
ced plans for expansion to add
1,709,572 tons to their capacity by
1958, Williams said. But, he added
the ANPA anticipates a need
from half a million to a million
more tons than that by 1960.

Democrat Wives Forum
WASHINGTON, OPi—Mrs. E. L.
Bartlett, wife of the Alaskan del
egate, was elected recording sec
retary of the Democratic Wives
Forum.
The Forum plans to meet every
fourth Tuesday to study special
issues and campaign techniques
to improve the members’ value as
volunteer assistants to the Demo
cratic National Committee.

CAP Observes Its
14th Birthday
“Semper Vigilans” — “Always
Vigilant”—that is the motto of
the Civil Air Patrol, born Dec. 1,
1941. And on that note the CAP
continues to serve. Dedicated to
furthering aviation and encour
aging America’s youth to look to
the skies, the CAP last month oh-,
served its 14th anniversary as an
auxiliary to the U.S. Air Force.
The Nome squadron is endeav
oring to perform its duty as part
of an organization so valuable to
the defense of America and its
people, should they need help in
dividually, the latter meaning
rescue missions.
Wednesday evening the Nome
squadron held its regular bi
monthly meeting. The local group
has 28 members. Kay P. Horton
of the ACS was taken in as a new
member. Martin Olson and Bill
Doyle renewed their membership.
Olson is the squadron’s operation
officer.
Projects are being undertaken
to repair the L-5 aircraft belong
ing to the squadron. This plane is
to be used to teach Cadets and
seniors flight training and air res
cue work.
A discussion on the national
conference to be held in Califor
nia was a very interesting sub
ject. To date there arc six mem
bers planning to attend. Trans
portation is furnished free of
charge by the military.
Refreshments at Wednesday’s
meeting were served through the
courtesy of Alice Hudson and
Rev. Don Bruckner. A monthly
banquet to bring more social life
to the organization was discussed.
It is felt that this would bring
together the families of the Civil
Air Patrol.
Anyone wishing to join the
CAP may do so by contacting
Commander Hap Lancaster or any
of the local members. The age
minimum is 18 years.
Two-Thirds of U.S. Troops
In Korea Still in Tents
WASHINGTON, (#—'The Army
said today about two-thirds of
the U.S. troops in Korea still are
living in tents but that all of them
will have housing before winter’s
end.
A spokesman said in answer to
inquiries that when it was decid
ed last August to move all soldiers
remaining in Korea from tents to
prefab houses, about one-third of
the material for such buildings
was on hand.
Quonset type huts to house ad
ditional soldiers were obtained
through the Navy. The spokes
man said these huts are sched
uled to reach Korean ports before
the end of this month.
N A R A, Japan, Uf)—Fourteen
Japanese burned to death and
four were injured today in a fire
that destroyed an apartment
building and three brothels, po
lice reported.

President Requests $126 Million For
5-Point National Health Program
By MABVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, UPt— President
Eisenhower asked Congress yes
terday to vote $126,525,000 for
b'asic research to penetrate the
“dark mystery” of cancer and to
combat other leading killers.
The request was made in a
five-point program laid before
the legislators in a special mes
sage calling for “a renewed and
reinvigorated attack on our health
problems.”
Eisenhower did not renew hi^
request ot last year for federal
reinsurance of health insurance—
a proposal which ran into op
position from the American Med
ical Assn., on grounds it might be
an opening wedge to socialized
medicine. It got nowhere in Con
gress.
Instead, Eisenhower said the
administration is considering leg
islation to permit pooling of risks
by private companies.
He said this might offer
“broader benefits and expanded
coverage on reasonable terms in
fields of special needs.”
Eisenhower called for action in
five general areas, providing for:
1. A 28 per cent increase in
federal funds for basic medical {
research to a total of $126,525,000.
2. A new program of grants—
250 million dollars over the next
five years — for construction of
medical research and training
facilities.
This money would go to state,
local and private institutions with
a provision that they must supply
“at least equal amounts in match
ing funds.”
3. Further steps to meet health
personnel shortages. No specific
amount was recommended here,
but Eisenhower said the number
>—
of physicians being graduated
from medical schools is barely
keeping pace with the increase in
population, and the number of
dentists and nurses is diminish
ing relative to population.
4. Action to strengthen certain
other basic health services thru
out the nation.
His 5th point was that of meet
ing costs of medical care and em
braced his plan possibly to sub
mit later legislation for pooling
of insurance risks.
