Premature gray at 38, Allvine has teamed with Edmund Reek-another hero of hundred newsreel adven- tures-in the compilation and pro- duction of full length document ary film, United We Stand" which goes into the causes of the war and what we should have learned from the history which each year is rec orded in celluloid.
 Allvine did the editing, Beck the production and both set new rec ords for heaving nostalgia signs when out of the dusty files came the film record they themselves had helped make on many an exciting day and night in the years past Both, as you can guess, are more or less tied to desks these momentous times.
 For instance, the films of the as- sassination of King Alexander ot Jugoslavia at Marseilles flashed on the screen and Beck stirred reml- niscently.
 We took a plane $50 miles out tc sea to pick up the films" he re- called, "but we were forced down into the ocean. Our mechanic was drowned. The other five of us were rescued by Capt. George Fried, who had quite a name as sea hero"

 He takes greatest pride, however, in a scoop in which he was not pres ent in person. In anticipation of trouble he had cameraman Al Brick stationed at Pearl Harbor. And when Dec. came, Bricks camera started turning. At the request Of the government, the sequences were made available to all companies.
 Allvine's insult to the King of Sweden was inadvertent, but he had to make written apology at the request of the State department. Ii seems he smoked in the kings pres ence. The affront to Hirohito came because Allvine stationed camera man on hilltop overlooking the Japanese emperor at troop review He learned from the Jap secret po- lice that no one could be higher than the All-Highest.

Women Voters
 Cancel FurLoughs

More Americans not only will vote in the thirty four state pri- maries between July IA and Sep tember 15 than ever before, but they will give more attention to their ballots for Congress than ever be- fore, if the National League of Wo- men Voters has its way.
 League members from New York to California have cancelled all sum- mer furloughs to engage in a na- tion-wide campaign to enlist the best" men for Congress. Con- quering Primary Day apathy is but a preliminary skirmish leading up to the main objective: To see that a Congress is elected in November which is capable of winning the war and the peace to follow"
 Ballots count as well as bullets" "If freedom is worth fighting for, il is worth voting for" and "The cleo ton is your affair" are among the slogans the league has adopted tc underscore the significance of the primary as the election in which the first important choice of Con gressional candidates will be made Those slogans are appearing throughout the length and breadth of the land on League bulletins broadsides, bilEooards, bus cards voting information booths, anc placards.
 At the same time League mem bers are interviewing Congressiona candidates, distributing Congress mems records in their own districts and analyzinG and interpreting theil attitudes On national policy and do mestic issues for the benefit of tht voting public.
 "Yardsticks" for measuring Congressman are being circulated b, League members in door to-doo canvasses and by other hand-to hand methods in nearly dozel states. Anon the measurement suggested are: Would they b leaders or followers of public opin ion?" Would they put national in terests before party interests? Would they put winning the wa above all other considerations? Would they have ability and de termination to help create a jus and lasting peace?"
 If the candidates fail to measure | up, the non partisan League O Women Voters prescribes a remedy i Find the man who could do tht job! Ask him to run! Get to Worl and elect him!"

Distillingg Industry Is Aiding Govt.
To Be l90 Percent in Federal Production By Fall
 Col. Wiehe States

This distilling industry thru out the United States is doing a great deal for the offensive pro gram of the country in the pro auction of alcohol, one Of the most essential war materials de clared Col. Theodore C. Wiehe, of the Schenley Distillers Cor poration, who arrived in Juneau recently from hs headquarters in New York City on his third trip 10 Alaska.
 Al present the industry is about 5) percent in production for the government and we be- lieve that by September or Oc- tober it will be 100 percent in government production of alco- hol for offense work" Col. Wlehe said.
 DiStillerS are now manufac.ur- ing high vines which are con- vcrted into alcohol for the use of the government and by Septem- Der or October it is believed that distilleries will be converted so that alcohol can be manufactur- ed in them. he said. Because of this conversion and turning over 100 per cent of the production to the government, the manufactur ing or WhiSkey or gin in the Unit ed States will be temporarily end ed, Col Wiehe stated.
 In the United States there are at present stocks of whiSkey on hand to last five years and the Schenley Corporation has the largest stock of any diStillers in the world" he said. There will, however definitely be a shortage of gin"
 The industry is also cooperat- ing with the government to see that licensees abide by the law in all respects and is doing great deal in this way toward keeping the handling of liquor free from all possible criticism, according to Col. Wiehe.
 Not Apprebensive
 Those connected with the dis tilling industry are not apprehen sive about renewal of the pro- hibition move as the memory of the terrible abuses of the prohib- ition era still finger in the minds of most adults of the country, Col. Wiehe said. In connection with this, close watch was kept in Hawaii during the period from December l941. until February 24, l942 during which time the Territory of Hawaii was dry un- der martial law and statistics showed that there was vast in crease in arrests from drunken ness and illegal actions connect ed with liquor abuse during that time in comparison to normal times, he said.
 Taxes Important
 From the tax standpoint the distilling industry is most import ant and, in effect, the distilling companies act as tax collectors for the government, according to Col. Wiehe.
 Col. Wiehe is President of Schenley International Corpora ton, President of Schenley I'm port Corporation andVice-Presi- dent of Schenley Distillers Cor poration. He was met in Juneau by J. w. Gucker, Alaska repre- sentative for the firm and from Juneau they plan to cover as much of the Territory as time and transportation will permit.

Appeal Issued For Accuracy In OueStiOnnaires

Ar urgont appeal to men in this area to a;4 the war effort hv using more care tn filling out their occupst caa1 auestiannaires was issued by R. E. Barnes, Act ,ag Director far Alaska, of the United States En ployment Ser vice.
 Effective mobilization of our manpower for war time industry and agriculture must be accom- pl!shed if we are to win the war Mir Barnes declared. For this purpose it Is essential that the cccupat.onal inventory be completed speedily and accurate ly."
 Is Vital Inventory
 "Preliminary reports indicate that many of the queStionnaires coming into draft boards and United States Employment offic- es are faulty CT incomplete,' he added. This occupatiOnal invent ory is a vital part of the Nations war program, and it is of the greatest importance that regis trants fill out their questionnair- es clearly, fully and accurately"
 Barnes urges all registrants who have any difficulty in filling out the questionnaire to go to their employer for help. Help in filling out the questionnaire is also available at any office of the United States Employment Service, local draft board office, and many veterans posts and labor unions.
 Serious Matter
 According to employment of flee reports, incorrect or incom- plete quest:onnaires are running aS nigh as 25 per cent of the total number submitted. This is a very serious matter" MT. Barn es pointed out, since it is nec- essary to call in the registrant for an interview in such cases in order to correct the errors or supply the missing information. This means not only inconven- fence to the person called in, but increases the expense and the time required for perform ance of this occupational invent ory"
