moving ahead for the possible ad
ministration this spring of the
Salk polio vaccine to 13,000 chil
dren in the first and second grades
of all public, private and parochi
al schools in Alaska, Dr. C. Earl
Albrecht, commissioner of health,
announced this week.
“Sufficient vaccine for these
groups will be supplied by the
i National Foundation for Infantile
i Paralysis without charge for the
; product if it is licensed,” Dr. Al

| are in highly susceptible age
brackets and can be organized
; readily for vaccination before
i schools close this spring.
“We don’t know yet if the Salk
i vaccine is effective. We await the
evaluation report of Dr. Thomas
Francis Jr. of the University of
| Michigan in April. But we must
make our plans now for possible
| usage to protect as many children
as possible before this year’s polio
j season.
“If we wait to organize until
after the report, we would not
| have time to make the necessary
j arrangements. We must get ready

Union Official
Against Increase
In E. S. Taxes
JUNEAU, (jP—A Pulp Workers
Union official told the territorial
Senate Friday, in supporting an
appeal of Ketchikan Pulp Co. of
ficials against any increase in em
ployment security taxes and in
referring to their testimony about
the firm’s financial problems in
its new field:
“Let me assure you my heart
doesn’t bleed for Ketchikan Pulp.
We will hear it all when we sit
down for wage negotiations, and
it will take a lot of crying tow
els before we are through.’’ But
he supported the company and
the position of his union’s Ketchi
kan local, against added payroll
taxes.
Melvin L. Melton, internation
al representative of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Pulp, Sul
phite and Paper Mill Workers,
made the comment in testimony
before the legislators.
He declared opposition to the
labor-sponsored House bill pro
posal to require workers to con
tribute up to $48 a year to the
unemplo yment compensation
fund and to any further load on
employers under the bill. But re
ferring to the pulp firm’s officials
account of the financial problems
facing the company, Melton said:
“I laughed at the reference to
whether the mill is a marginal
operation. (The question had been
asked of a Ketchikan Pulp of
ficial by Sen. A1 Owen, Anchor
t age Democrat'. “It’s a good pay
ing pulp mill.” And Melton added
that he would as soon have a
good paying pulp mill “as a
plant to print money in.”
But at another point he told
the senators that taxes cut pro
fits and the only place from
which the workers could get a
wage increase was from the pro
fits.
