A 24-hour watch was main- tained all the time the vessel was in port, with guard details posted aboard ship and at gangplanks./ Also, mechanical rat guards were mounted on all ship-to-shore lines, | as is provided for all vessels by the new order. All cargo loads were inspected before being landed As a result of precautions taken in regard to the S Cricket, Ju- neau was kept free subjection to a possible source of infection. Like measures are to be taken all similar instances. — -, — President Conters On Legislation for National Servicef WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—Presi- dent Roosevelt, preparing to send Congress a special message favoring the National Service legislation, as a preliminary today held a White House conference with Selective Service chiefs and legislators con- cerned with the subject.
