Anchorage Withholds
$1900 a Month From State
To Hire Two Sanitarians
JUNEAU, Wt—The effect of a
move by the City of Anchorage
to withdraw $1,900 a month from j
support to the Greater Anchorage
health district is still being
studied by the state, Health and
Welfare Commissioner Paul Win
sor said today.
The Anchorage City Council,
which has contributed $52,000 a
year, including $12,000 in free
rental space, to the health dis
trict’s operations, on Aug. 23
voted to hire two sanitarians to
work in the city.
To pay their salaries and ex
penses, the Anchorage City Coun
cil decided to withhold $1,900 a
month from the payments it has
•been making to the health dis
trict. The move was made, the
council said, to permit faster in
spection of new sanitary facilities
within the city.
The health district during the
past year, Winsor said, assigned
two of its sanitarians to Anchor
age city inspections on an almost
fulltime basis.
Thus, Winsor said, there would
appear to be little change in the
offing.

! Nine Primary Elections
Shed Little Light On
Trend In November
Nine states held primary elec
tions yesterday. There were some
surprises, an upset or two. Gen
erally, the results shed little light
one the way the political tides
might be running in November.
In Massachusetts, Gov. Foster
Furcolo lost to a relative new
comer, Mayor Thomas O'Connor,
35, of Springfield, on a bid for
the Democratic nomination for
the U.S. Senate.
Furcolo had the Democratic j
state convention’s endorsement
but the party was split. O’Connor,
in his first try for a statewide
office, campaigned hard and long,
while Furcolo sat tight until a few
days before the primary. O’Con
nor will run against Republican
Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, who
was unopposed for renomination.
Veteran Rep. Joseph Martin of
Massachusetts won easy renomi
nation. It was the first time he
was opposed in a primary in 35
years.
Primaries also were held in
New Hampshire, Vermont, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Utah, Arizona,
Colorado and Washington. In
some cases such as Wisconsin and
Minnesota, major candidates were
unopposed in their parties and
the races shaped up as tests of |
relative party strength.
School Enrollment
Reached 708 Yesterday
The enrollment of students at
Nome Public School reached 708
yesterday which is an all-time
high and 56 over the number en
rolled last year.
Superintendent Conrad Potter
stated this increase has been an
ticipated and preparations had
been made accordingly to pro
vide for them this year. There are
still more students to come it is
expected as some are still at fish
and berry camps and three are
known to be at a mining camp.
