Second Draft
 Expected toFil
 Defense Quota

A second call for Seleetees to fill the ranks of the Alaska Defense Command will be issued shortly, ac- cording to a wire to the local draft board today from Selectiye Service Director John Mccormick in Juneau.
 Keep classifying, examining and inducting,n Mccormick said in his wire, if the first call was not filled. "In the meantime" the wire stated, "prepare fo rsecond call. If unable to get men to induction station, in duet men available and accessible in sequence of order number as defense command must be brought to it's full strength by inductees immed- lately. Any difference in quota by inducing more than called can be adjusted in future calls. Encourage volunteers"
 The first Alaska call has fallen far below anticipated strength, ac- eording to reports, due to many of the men being rejected after arriv-I ing at their induction stations. Fair banks with a quota of 175, was able to furnish only S9, for example. Oth- CT quotas were also down. Of 13 from Wrangell only four actually went from here to induction station at Chilkoot, others credited to Wrangell were located all the way from the States to Dutch Harbor.
 Whether any of the men going from here have been rejected at Chilkoot, the draft board has not been advised, Chairman R. J. Sur att said.

Germans Being Turned Back By
 Reds of Moscow
{By= Associated Press)

The Naziz armies have renewed their offensive on Moscow and Len ingrad but Russian resistance and near-zero weather has held up the drive, according to dispatches from Moscow and Berlin.
 Hitlers headquarters announced Russian army in complete rout with only the weather deterring the Ger mans but from Moscow, an official spokesman said the Nazi warriors were being driven back in several sectors and actually were no closer to Moscow than a week ago, al though they have raided the city desperately from the air for the past several days. The Russians have re- taliated with counter air attack and all civilians in the Russian capital are reported to have dropped what ever work they were doing and join ed in the defense of Moscow. SOl- diers and civilians are fighting side by side to drive off the invader. Red Army command declared the German attack had been repulsed in the snoW-CoYered fields on the approach es to Moscow. Snow is reported to be three feet deep in some places and the temperature hovers around zero.
 Three hundred Nazi planes were reported to have attacked Moscow Wednesday and the raids, in dim numbers, have been con- tinued since.
 In the Leningrad sector, the Rus sians claim to have killed 20,000 Germans. Forty seven Nazi planes are claimed by the SoYiets to have been shot down.
 Meanwhile, uprisings continued in Nazi-Occupied countries and tn France today Frenchman paused for tive minutes at whatever task they were doing as a gesture of defiance to their German conquerors. Thous- ands are reported executed by the Nazis jn the last few weeks in an effort to quell the trouble.
 Observers declare the coming winter may be the worst in the hts- tory of the continent as disease isl spreading and millions are faced with starvation due to their food be- Ing confiscated by the Germans.

ANCHORAGE - Development of a large new defense industry for AL aska is taking shape as a result of a contract calling for big-scale cut ting of birch trees for shipment to British Columbia, where they will be used in construction of combat planes and torpedo boats.
 The contract brought the Territory, and particularly the Alaska rail belt, an industry which promises to furnish employment for large num- bers of men throughout the winter months. It is hailed here as one of the most important developments in many years to further stabilize the economy of the Territory.
 Revelation of the discovery that Alaska birch has an unlimited de- mand took this part of the Territory by surprise. Hank E@waEdaams vet

Plane Victim Was Pioneer
 Alaska Man

Livingston Wernecke, who with Pilot Charles Gropstis was killed when their plane crashed on Sala Island in Millank Sound last week. was one of the best known mining men in the north. Born at Yashon Is land, near Tacoma, where one of his parents is still living, Werneeke| was graduated from the University of Washington and in 1908 came toI Alaska as an engineer at the time of the building of the Copper River and Northwestern out of Gordoya
 There were two young newly mar ried couples in COrdoYa at the time. One was the young engineer Wern- ecke and his bride; the other was MT. and Mrs. M. s. Whittier. Mr whittier, who was in Mrangell this week when he got the news Of hisI old friends tragic death, is now As-I sistant Collector of Customs. Back in 1908 he was just young fellow breaking into the service.
 From the Copper River. WerneekeI vent on to carve name for htmselfI in the mining, engineering and geol- ogy. He was at the time Of his death chief geologist and consulting en-I gineer for all the Bradley interests which own among other properties the Alaska Juneau mine in Juneau. lie had been examining tungsten de- posits at Hyder on his present tripI and there was bright prospect that the development would be carried on at Hyder.
 ''Alaska has lost a very valuable friend and a noted geologist," said MT. Whittier, who mourns the pas hIng of a lifetime friend. He was l ecognlzeu by the geologist trateru- 1 lIy as one of their leaders. He haa Leen the friend of many prospectors Lnrougnout Alaska, and particularly i Ill late years had encouraged and aided prospectors in the Mayo dis Irict. The tragedy is particularly un- fortunate for Hyder for he had been there taking tungsten samples, new ly discovered, with a view of de-i velopment by the Bradley interests. His death will be particularly felt in Juneau and by the Alaska Juneau mine where he had much to do with those low grade properties"
 Aviation lost one of its outstand- ing aYiators in Gropstis' death. He was widely known in the flying fra ternity and had been piloting Wern- ecke in the north for years. While on vacation from Werneckcs employ last spring, he flew bombers to the east coast, to Bermuda and to Man fla. The trip he was making south was to be his last for Gropstis as he had just been appointed an in spector with the Civil Aeronautio5 Administration and was supposed to report in Texas on October 10 but had been held up by bad weather in the north.
 Wernecke is survived by Mrs. Wernecke at the family home in Berkeley, Calif., daughter, Claire, who is at home with her mother and son, Ted, who is in the theatre business in Portland, Ore. Gropstis is survived by his wife and two children in the bay region, not far from San Francisco. |
