 Whatever may be the final de cision as to requiring a person iu military service to have served in Alaska one year before becoming eligible for a resident hunting Ii- cense. it would be completely un- wise to permit the passage Of any legislation eXempting persons in military service in Alaska entirely from all requirements as 10 licenses. and therefore it seems probable that the Senate will not agree 10 this second amendment presented by Representative O'Hara.

 After thorough consideration. the Office of Price Administration has determined not To undertake ra- tiontng of food supplies in Alaska for the present. This decision is a sound one No citizen of Alaska seeks to avoid sharing in any sacri- flee necessarily imposed upon citi- zens of the United Statees generally, but il is understood that conditions in Alaska are so different from those which exist in the States that any attempt to impose the gen eral rationing plan which is sug- gested for the States would simply not work in the Territory where some S0.O00 people are distributed over an area more than twice as large as the entire state of Texas. Moreover the total amount of such foodstuffs consumed by the civilian population of Alaska is insignifi- cant, and the savings which would be affected by the application of such a rationing system in Alaska would not begin to pay the cost of

NEW YORK, - c. 22.-tU.P
New York'S 1928 debutanteS

thereby adding 100000 or more
to the war effort.
Instead OF holding individual par
ties, 100 made their debut together
at Il cotillion and ball in the Ritz

invested in war bonds what they
would have spent on a coming-out
party. No purchase was believed
to have been less than $1,000.
The New York miirmary for
Women and Children also was
benefited. The family Of each de
~bltante paid SIS for her and her
escort; each civilian guest paid
$3.50 and each man in uniform,
