5CHLITz BEER
 REPRESENTATIVE
 IN TERRITORY
5. I. Sjoberg, Export Sales Manager, Is Visiting
 Alaska on Business

sixty thousand Legionnaire drank one half million glasses ol Schlitz beer at their recent con vention in Milwaukee, according to S. T. Sjobefg who is in Juneau today on a business trip through the Territory. Sjoberg is the ex- port sales manager for the beel that made Milwaukee famous, and is on one of his numerous iunkets throughout the world. He will leave Juneau tonight on the Yukon for a trip to the Westward cities and fly to Fairbanks, re- turning through here about Octo- Der II.
 Sioberg has travelled over most of the world in his capacity as export sales manager, having been in every place except New Gale donia to date. Recently he took Clipper trip to Hongkong ana return, and upon his return south he will head for Honolulu and then later South America.
 Prior to his position with the Schlitz Brewing Company, Sjober9 was a representative of the Ford Motor Company, and as such spent many years in the Far East, In his present capacity, he travels ill every spot where Schlitz beer is exported. But, according to tfe experienced -wanderer, his spots are rather curtailed now due to the war. But shipments are still being made to many parts of the world now at war, especially to Egypt. In some cases, the beer has to be transported by camel be- cause of lack of available transpor- tation.
 At the recent Legion Convention the Schlitz Company held open house for the visiting members blocking off part of the street and serving at two block-long bars Ninety-four bartenders were on duty for the benefit of the thirsty Legionnaires.
 SchlitZ beer is as well known in other parts of the world as in Milwaukee, says Sjoberg. It was even served at Midway Island on the Pacific, where the Clipper tc the East stops for the night. Sjo- berg is calling on dealers in the Territory while here.

Hardcastle is a former member of the commission whose term expired this year. Names of men to replace him on the commission, proposed to the Territorial Legislature by Gov Ernest Gruening, were all turned down by the legislators. Following adjournment of the legislature this spring, Gov Gruening named Cauble to the commission.
 According to the memorandum passed by pr. Dick and Bragaw to- day, the commission will not rec ognize either of the two contest ants" but it will abide by the de- cision of the proper constituted court or to any other legal method of determining which of the two has valid claim to the position.
 Tn an attempt to receive advice on which of the two men is to be recognized as commissioner, pr Dick and Bragaw last night wired Territorial Attorney General Henry Roden, now at Anchorage A reply from Roden, however stated that the legality of Cauble's appointment was not clear
 Meantime, under the law govern ing the Unemployment Compensa- tion Commission, the two men are fully empowered to act for the com mission as quorum. They said they would continue in such cap acity until third member is cer- tified by the proper authorities to join them.
