Construction In Alaska
Will Be Close To ’53 Peak
SEATTLE, CP)—Despite a late
start, Alaska construction this
year will hit close to its 1953
peak.
That’s the forecast of the Al
aska chapter of Associated Gen
eral Contractors.
Private housing may slow down
after two boom years, Alaska
chapter manager Larry Moore
said Friday in Seattle, but fed
eral projects are expected to hold
up and provide total construction
employment of about 20,000 again
this year.
However, contractors have join
ed unions in urging stateside
workers not to head north with
out definite job prospects.
All labor contracts have been
settled, Moore said, except that
with plumbers in the Anchorage
area.

Senate Told Alaska
Eskimos Need More
Tuberculosis Facilities
WASHINGTON, UP — Dr. Earl
Albrecht, Alaska Health Commis
sioner, says 800 Eskimos are hos
pitalized with tuberculosis and
hundreds more need isolation and
treatment.
He suggested to a Senate ap
propriations subcommitee Friday
that perhaps state and private
hospitals in Washington state
could provide care for some of the
Eskimos.
While the situation is serious in
some parts of Alaska, he said, a
decrease in the tuberculosis rate
in Washington has resulted in
hundreds of empty beds in tuber
cular wards throughout the state.
The federal government would
pay the bill if Eskimos were sent
to Washington state hospitals un
der contract between the Indian
Bureau and the hospitals.

Motorist Picks Up Pooch,
Earns $1,000 Reward
LONG BEACH, Calif., Wl-Two
men who almost ran over a dog
are $1,000 richer today because
they did not.
While Don Campbell and Byrle
Townley of nearby Inglewood
were driving home Friday night
they spotted a wandering golden
cocker spaniel on the highway.
Since they had almost hit the
pooch, Campbell decided to take
him home.
The next day Mrs. Campbell
read where Randy, a cocker, had
run away from his owners. They
offered $1,000 reward and started
the biggest dog hunt in local
memory. Mrs. Campbell realized
the dog her husband brought
home was Randy.
Campbell collected, said he
would split with Townley, and
decided he’d have to buy a dog.
His children had fallen in love
with Randy overnight.
