Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
The Alaska Dept, of Health
sanitation team explained their
,work in this area and how they
are endeavoring to educate the
people living in the remote vil
lages on ways to improve their
living conditions. They stated that
representatives from each of ten;
villages have been chosen to at
tend classes in Nome next week
on practical solution of water
supply, waste disposal and gen
eral sanitation in their respective
communities. The program is
sponsored jointly by the U.S. Pub

Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Hudson of

tioned here was also introduced.
Miss Sondya Pederson, new
nurse for the MMM Hospital,
from Minnesota, was a guest of j
Chamber, as was Joe Gatska, |
the Fuller brush man.
Larry Galvin reported that
Nome will suffer a meat shortage
this year, resulting in higher
priced airborne meat, as the Al
aska Steamship Co. was unable
to load meat market supplies in
the last minutes before sailing.
Galvin stated the Merc meat
was cut 10,000 pounds cold stor
age space and the Northern Com
mercial Co. by a like amount.
It is believed the cold storage
space was taken up by unexpect
edly large amounts of meat ship
ped by the contractors working
in this area.
Freighters Back From
Arctic Supply Mission
Suffered Little Damage
SEATTLE, UFi—Maritime Ad
ministration freighters carrying
materials and equipment for the
radar network in the arctic did
not suffer as much damage from
the ice as had been expected^
Joseph Hare, Maritime Admin
istration representative in Seattle,
said inspections in the past few
days had not disclosed any major
damage.
“There were indentations in
some of the hulls, but no punc
tures,” Hare said.
“All of the ships had some dam
age, but it was not as great as had
been expected.
“One ship had a small hole in
its hull but it was above the wat
erline and the Navy repaired it
in the arctic.”
While none of the ships had
major damage, about $500,000 will
be spent in Puget sound shipyards
to get the ten Maritime Adminis
tration vessels repaired and back
in the reserve fleet at Olympia.

ways in previous seasons, had
hoped to make a nonstop round
trip this time but gave up because
of the cold water.

Senator Accused of
Fact Distortion in Charge
Of Postmaster Firing
DETROIT, (£*—Assistant Post
master General Norman R. Ab
rams Tuesday accused Sen. Olin
D. Johnson CD-SC) of “downright
distortion of facts” in saying that
postmasters have been fired by
“illegal and political” means.
“This administration will more
than welcome any objective in
quiry on the ‘legal and political
removal of postmasters’ inferred
in Johnston’s irresponsible and
wreckless statements,” Abrams
told a national convention of post
masters here.
Johnston made his charges in a
statement announcing a “sweep
ing” investigation of the situation.
Abrams asserted:
“The actual facts are that since
Jan. 20, 1953, a total of 538 post
masters, out of more than 39,000
postmasters in the country, have
been removed.
“Not a one of the 538 postmas
ters was removed for political
reasons.”
Meantime, Sen. Carlson (R-Kan)
said in a telephone interview from
his Concordia, Kan. home that Re
publicans would “welcome” the
Johnston investigation. Johnston
is chairman of the Senate Post Of
fce and Civil Service Committee.
Carlson is the group’s ranking Re
publican member.
Los Angeles Dogs
Quarantined for a Year
Because of Rabies Cases
LOS ANGELES Ufr—A dog’s life
in Los Angeles has become, well,
a dog’s life.
All dogs in city and county
Monday were ordered quarantined
by the city health officer for at
least a year because of the rabies
situation. There have been 67
rabid dog reports since Jan. 1,
most in 10 years. The order re
quires dogs be confined to owners’
premises except when on a leash
not more than five feet long.
On top of that, Mrs.Sally Moody
urged a new law requiring mar
riage licences for canines. Her or
dinance would make it a misde
meanor “to breed a female dog or
to permit an owned female dog to
be bred without first obtaining a
license or permit to do so from the
city or county.”
