 Ellen Repp, the University of Washington graduate who lief t school to teach history, then re- verted to music, the first love of her Viking ancestors, has been dir .ecting much of her boundless en- ergy in the field in which her friends and concert admirers have long thought she belonged-opera.
 When the contralto sings at Meany Hall Tuesday night her con- cert program will be abundant with the music of Gluck and his peri wigged contemporaries; with Brahms lieder and of course with Greig, whose music was subject to her own research in Oslo, where she coached under David Monrad Johannsen, considered the great est authority on Norway's beloved composer. There'll be Debussy and American moderns represented, too some of the music still in manu- script"

OLYMPIA BREW
 HEAD IN JUNEAU

On the last legs of weeks trip through Alaska is Peter G. Schmidt, President, Technical Director, and Master Brewer of the Olympia Brew ing Company. The brewing official has been combining business with pleasure in his trip here as this is his first trip to the Territory.
 Of greatest interest to Schmidt on the trip is the indication of con- tinued growth of commercial facil- ities such as the hotels, theatres and radio stations in the towns of Fairbanks and Juneau. Tt is indeed a credit to the community to see such hotels as the Baranof and radio station like KFAR in Fairbanks, stated Schmidt.
 Schmidt, who has grown up with the brewing industry, has been con- nected with Olympia ever since it was founded by his father in 1896. Schmidt will leave for Seattle on the next southbound plane.

 fame Consideration

Men who registered under the Selective Training and Service Act on July and whose order num- bers were determined in the na- ttional lottery on July IT are subject to the same rules of individual classification as the youths who were enrolled previously and will be treated exactly alike, the Gov ernor's office emphasized today.
 Under no circumstances will the new group of potential trainees be classified and considered for possible military training en bloc Each man will have his order num- Der by which his local board will consider his classification and no local board can classify the indivi- dual registrant until his number is reached, except in case of volun- .teers. e1ga
 The national lottery served as a guide for each local board to inte- grate its new registrants among those who registered last January, alG that integration must be car- ried out so that the recent regis rtrants will consider their classified tion only in fair and equitable ratio to those men not yet inducted.
 The Governors Office stressed the fact that there is no differenco between treatment of the new reg istrants and the old registrants. The same rules of deferment apply to both. Both have the same right of appeal. The interests of both are protected by the government in the same manner And each case is considered individually when the registrant's order number comes up, regardless of whether he registered July or previously

 v aE Land Titles
 { Prior to the present emergency the. courts assumed that any person living in a community and holding hirhs1lf or herself out as citizen would be presumed to be citizen, and for the purpose of citizenship. with the exception of cases involving title to public lands, a mere state- WeHt of citizenship was accepted, and in cases of public lands an af- fidavit by the person, showing where he was born. was sufficient.
 Under the Jaws of the United States, practically the entire public domain was disposed of under either an affidavit of citizenship by the patentee or 8 certificate of natural 'ization by the naturalized citizen. In all of the historyaof the public land administration there are very few instances in which fraud has ever been shown in this respect, and it is believed that instead of making technical requirements at this time which are difficult of fulfillment. that the old presumption of citizen ship should be revived and that the benefit of the doubt be extended to the public. instead of requiring the person to prove citizenship.
