Tuberculosis Ass’n Reports
Christmas Seal Receipts
Fall Short of 1958 Total
JUNEAU — Latest reports on
the Christmas Seal campaign of
the Alaska Tuberculosis Associa
tion show that receipts are some
what lagging behind those of a
year ago. To date, approximately
$26,500 has been contributed,
throughout the state. This figure
is about 76 per cent of last year’s
final sale of $35,011.
In making the report, Mrs. Earle
Hunter, president of the associa
tion, said that returns for the
seals mailed last November were
still coming in and she hoped that
last year’s total figure would be
reached before the books were
closed.
Receipts frcjm Nome total $324,
as compared to $706.10 last year.
This year, Nome’s Christmas Seal
campaign was strictly a mail sale,
conducted from the state office.
■Mrs. Hunter explained that this
arrangement was an emergency
measure, in the absence of a local
chairman, but she hoped that the
1960 sale would be handled by a
local person, as in prior years.
Money raised in the sale of
Christmas Seals is used to pro
mote activities dealing in case
finding and early diagnosis, health
education, rehabilitation and pa
tient services, and research on a
national level. 94 per cent of every
dollar raised in Alaska will re
main in the state. The remaining
6 per cent is contributed to the
National Tuberculosis Association
for the national program which
includes research.

Search for Killer of
‘Terrible Touhy’
CHICAGO, UPi — Authorities
say they are ready to mark off
as unsolved the shotgun slaying
of prohibition beer baron Roger
(The Terrible) Touhy.
“The Roger Touhy killing is
just another unsolved murder, and
we might as well face it,” Cook
County Coroner Walter E. Me
Carron said Friday. “We’ll prob
ably never know who did it or
why.”
He adjourned an inquest into
Touhy’s death pending further
police investigation. But police
indicated time wouldn’t help.
“We’ve gone just about as far
as we can go,” said Capt. Russell
Corcoran.
The resigned statements came
in the wake of testimony by Wal
ter Miller, 62, a retired police
sergeant who was with Touhy the
night of December 16 when he
was gunned down from ambush j
in front of his sister’s house.
Miller, still limping from
wounds suffered in the shotgun
volley, said he didn’t know who
wanted Touhy killed.
“But there is a secret govern
ment, and someone had better
stop them,” he said.
Asked later if he referred to a
Chicago crime syndicate, Miller
replied: “Who else. Sure, the
outfit.”
Miller described his friend Tou
hy as a wronged man, railroaded
to prison on a framed-up charge
of kidnaping promoter John
(Jake the Barber) Factor, now a
wealthy real estate dealer, living
in Beverly Hills, Calif.
