WASHINGTON, July 31.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has told the House that Alaska needs legislation to insure residents get ting work in the Territory.
 The Delegate said outside fishing contracting companies are import ing labor from the States while Alaskans are not working.
 Our people in Alaska must have these jobs,' said the Alaska Dele gate, eff they are to live in AL aska. I am reliably informed that many members of the Alaska Fish ermen's Union in San Francisco who fish in Alaska, have other regular jobs which they quit in order to go Alaskaward to fish because fishing is more profitable than their other jobs.
 "Alaskans are denied this op- portunity generally They have no other jobs and so must fish or work in the fisheries if they are to live in the Territory

WASHINGTON, July 31. The Senate Military Committee today unanimously amended the Burke Wadsworth Compulsory Military Training bill to require registration only of men from 21 to 31 years of age instead of from Is to 64 years.

 The War Secretary further de- clared that the only way this na- tion could meet the war situation is by compulsory military service, He stated voluntary enlistments are costly failure"

WASHINGTON. July 31.-Things to be remembered about the Chi cago convention:
 In spite of the stampede which Wendell L. Willkie's unique meth cd of political blitzkrieg started at Philadelphia, no one at Chicago made any effort to duplicate it James A. Farley did do a lot oi lobby y-hopping, but it was nothing like Willkie's lone wolf prowls on the hunt for delegates. Sen Bur ton K. Wheeler generally was around his headquarters, receiving delegates and friends. Sen Jimmy Byrnes was accessible when you could catch him. but that was about as simple as catching bat on the wing. Paul V. McNutt dropped into his palatial head quarters occasionally to pose for pictures. But Willkie still is the one-and-only when it comes to up- setting the traditional apple-cart of convention campaigning.

It will come when we realize that things worth while and things worth hav- ing are worth working for. The cost to society, of philosophy, of indif- ference and carelessness has been strikingly demonstrated in what has happened to certain European na- tions in the last few months.
