King of the Mason Clinic in Seattle who is consultant in cardi- ology to the Alaska Department of Health, Dr. King said he was basing his opinion both on his observations at the Chronic Disease Unit here this week and on his work with Ala- skan patients in Seattle. Alaska Is Combatant “At the same time” he said, “Alaska is further ahead than many of the states in combating the di- sease. Much progress has been made in the Chronic Disease Unit’s one year of existence and the work should certainly be continued and facilities expanded.” Some of the states, he commented, have not made even a beginning in efforts to contyol rheumatic heart disease. He pointed out that heart disease of all kinds is responsible for 50 per- cent of the deaths in the nation and of these 30 percent are from rheumatic fever. Health Problem «“Rheumatic fever is definitely a | public health problem because its control rests with'the eontml of streptococcic infections,” Dr. King emphasized. He said that control of streptococcic infections depend upon better general hygiene, better per- sonal hygiene, better food and eat- ing habits, and better sanitation. In an epidemic of infections, such as scarlet fever, a disease caused by the streptococcus, Dr. King said “from 5 to 15 percent of the pa- tients will develop rheumatic fever. And the recurrence of a strepto- coccie infection after, the victim has been treated, or during treatment for rheumatic fever, can bring on a reactivation of the rheumatic fever and thereby increase the dam- age to the heart.” Children are Treated In the year since Alaska’s first Chronic Disease Unit was estab- lished “by the Health Department with nine beds in two small wards at St. Ann’s hospital in Juneau, 36 children have been diagnosed, treated and cared for, according to Dr. Virginia Cobb, director of the unit. She said that 400 children suf- fering chronic diseases have been reported to the program. Dr. King returned to Seattle yes- terday. In addition to his work at the Mason Clinic, he is president of the Washington State Heart Association, a member of the Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Uni- versity of Washington Medical School.

The stars are: | (1) Deborah Kerr, the brilliant |actress who last scored with Spen- !cer Tracy in “Edward, My Son,” |this time making an abrupt about- face in characterization as a girl who thinks she has inherited a fortune and is determined to pro- tect herself from fortune-hunters. (2) Robert Walker, who won a | carload of laughs in such hits as “See Here, Private Hargrove” and ; “One Touch of Venus,” and who now enacts a dapper con-man who is hard put to decide whether he loves Deborah for her supposed millions |or for her alluring self. (3) Mark Stevens, popular hero of “Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” who finds another beautiful doll in Deborah | but sets out to prove her a schem- ing adventuress. (4) Peter Lawford, last seen in a serious role in “The Red Danube,” now anything but serious as the carefree millionaire playboy willing to hand over his check-book to any designing female. There are top laugh-getters in too, among them, James Whitmore, the to- bacco-chewing sergeant of “Battle- ° Theatre Byington. “Please Believe Me” is based on an original story by Nathaniel | Curtis. orthopedic surgeon for the Alaska Department of Health.

LOUIS' EXCITING COLOR FiLM IS AT 20TH CENTURY An action-jammed historical ad-’ venture yarn set in the lawless per- iod of the southwest following the War Between the States, “South of St. Louis,” filmed in Technicolor, comes to the Gross 20th Century screen tonight headed by a four star cast including Joel McCrea, Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and Dorothy Malone. | South of St. Louis was the no- man’s land of the Civil War. It was that vast area of Texas and the southwest in which, for the most part, the war was fought on a guerilla basis, although there were organized army groups on both ! sides. The film depicts the taut, personal drama of three hard-rid-| ing men of the range, set against| the violent background of the open spaces. Smuggling was then and the reckless tempo of the time made life exciting and dan- gerous. { McCrea plays Kip Davis whose purpose in the lusty tale is to re- store the ranching land burned and pillaged by guerillas in union hire. Miss Smith departs from her usual roles to that of a flamboyant enter- tainer of the old west. As Rouge de Lisle, this beautiful blonde star dis- plays a completely new side to her | talents. Zachary Scott plays a cow- boy, not exactly a new role, as he‘ hails from Texas and spent many of his younger years on a ranch. loved by McCrea but who loves an- JUNEAU HISTORY WILL BE LWV TOPIC TUESDAY The first joint ineeiing of all the junits of the League of Women Voters, will be held at 8 p.m., Tues- | day, December 5.
