TOWN CUT OFF FROM WORLD IN EPIDEMIC FIGHT Static Prevents Radio From Reaching Alaskan Village of Holy Cross. 111/ United Press CORDOVA. Alaska, Dec. 20.—The village of Holy Cross was fighting a smallpox epidemic today, apparently without aid or communication from the outside world. Somewhere a driver and his dog team, carrying vaccine, may be floundering through the snow drifts or may already have arrived. For more than twenty-hours static has prevented anyone from communicating with Holy Cross and there has been no indication of conditions in the town. • The driver, who left Anvix early Tuesday, was due in Holy Cross Wednesday night, but the lack of weather data, also caused by the failure of the radio, has aroused alarm throughout Alaska. Many persons believe a blizzard, such as often thunders down along the Yukon, has turned the trails into almost impassable stretches of snow and ice. Holy Cross is a town of 142 persons.
