Theatre, RKO Radio has a top- notch action drama with a pictur- esque Canal Zone setting. Pat O'Brien as a private detec- tive, Walter Slezak as a suave crook, and Anne Jeffreys as a cafe singer deftly handle the stellar roles. A missing map of some val- vable South American oil propsru, is the key to the exciting plot. Two | men are killed because of the docu- | ment, and when O’'Brien is hired to find the map he promptly becomes | involved in a series of perilous nd-» ventures, | Slezak, it appears, also is after| the precious -paper, and makes | things hot for the investigator and Miss Jeffreys. The result is a fast- moving tale of intrigue, spiced with mystery and romance in thoroughly antertaining fashion. Miss Jeftreys’ voice is heard in song during a colorful outdoor cafe scene. Supporting stars are such favor- ites as Percy Kilbride, Jerome Cowan and George Givot. Ted Tetzlaff has done a nice job of directing. The realistic Panama City settings and the drama of Martin Rackin’s story are blended to make “Riff-Raff” particularly attractive. This feature is shown for the last times tonight. HEALTH LEADER TELLS CONGRESS ALASKAN NEEDS Legislation necessary for the de- velopment of Alaska is described by Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Commis- sioner of Health, who recently re- turned from congressional hearings | at Washington, D.C. Albrecht said that one of the Territory’s basic problems has been met with passage of the housing bill by the 81st Congress; a second vital bill still under consideration is the Alaska Public Works Act which will provide schools, hos-| pitals, health centers, sewage and water facilities, docks, roads and |other community facilities. Dr. Al- brecht added that there is every indication that this bill will re- ceive favorable consideration by Congress In an appearance before joint ccmmittee hearings, Dr. James out very -effectively the lack of school facilities pointed sericus T KE THESE BRING US CUSTOMERS BY THE SCOFE!

Detailed in- formation concerning their respec- tive. communities was given by Waino Hendrickson, Mayor of Ju- neau; Robert Ellis, Mayor of Ket- chikan; and Denald Wilson, City Manager of Anchorage. Evidence cited by Dr. Albrecht in his request for increased facili- ties includes the fact that less than| 25 percent of the Alaskan com- munities have sewer systems, and rone of the 58 community waste disposal facilities are satisfactory. This lack is reflected in the out- breaks within the Territory of dysentery, typhoid fever and gastro-intestinal disturbances. He added that only eleven of the |63 existing public water supplies receive some form of protective| treatment. . According to the standards established under the Hospital Survey and Construction pregram, three-fourths of the 14 general hos- pitals operated by non-governmen-| tal agemcies have Teen declared | non-acceptable because of the physical condition of their build- ings. With a single exception, Alaska’s 23 health centers are located in buildings completely separated and | often at some distance from the| existing hospital. There are 14| other communities and areas which badly need health center fa- cilities. Dr. Albrecht pointed out that a total of $30,178,000 for construction of 109 new facilities and expansion or improvement of 65 existing fa- cilities was needed to aileviate the Territory’s health needs. Under the Alaska Public Works Act a 50 percent outiight grant will be made on an over all match- ing basis, although some low reve- nue producing facilities may re- celve a grant up to 75 percent of the total cost from the Federal Goverrment if this legisiation be- comes law. “This bill will probabiy do more for the permanent developuent of Alaska than most of the vifal legis- before Congress. The im- provement and estatlishment of good community facilities such as housing, schapls, hospitals, and safe water are basic in attracting permanent residents to the Terri- tory,” Dr. Albrecht stated.
