and delays in obtaining birth cer- tificates State Bureaus of Vital Statistics have been unable to keep up with the mounting number of requests, with the result, he added, that work on many urgent war contracts has been delayed.
 Tn, many States and localities birth registration was not required until recent years. In others the records have been destroyed or lost. The result has been that many men and women whose fami- lies have been in this country for generations have been unable to obtain evidence of their birth. To relieve the situation, United States Census Bureau records have been accepted in lieu of birth certifi- cates. However, the Bureau of the Census which, prior to January 1940, used to get two to three thousand requests a week, has been swamped in recent months by 16 and IT thousand requests a week.
 In order to break this log jam, the War and Navy Departments have recommended that contractors and sub-contractors require any worker who is to be employed on any secret, confidential. CT restrict ed contract to sign a statement to the effect that he is a citizen of the United States and that he has read and understands the penal ties for misrepresenting his status. Such a declaration, signed in the presence of an Army or Navy rep .resentative, will meet the immed- fate requirements of the War and Navy Departments, pending further investigation.
 M. McNutt made it clear that this new procedure does not relieve the employer from the duty of making further investigation when there is any reason to doubt the truth of the applicants declaration that he is a citizen. On the other hand, workers signing such dec laration will be informed that the penalty for misrepresentation may

GREAT MOVIE HIT JOINING
 TO THIS CITY
Pre- Release Road Show of Reap inc Wild Wind
 al 20th Century

Product of great story, a great cast and great director, Cecil B. DeMille's Reap the Wild Wind" spectacular Paramount sea saga in Technicolor, arrives at the 2Oth Century on Wednesday.
 Preview critics have already hailed Reap the Wild Wind" as the best of the mighty DeMille films, a spectacular jewel to fit into the great showman's crown of screen achievements. For DeMille it climaxes thirty years of picture making, and represents the thir- tieth anniversary celebration offer ing of Paramount Pictures itself
 For Reap the Wild Wind" De- Mile has chosen as stars Ray Mil land, Paulette Goddard and John Wayne. Heading the impressive featured cast are Raymond Massey, Lynne Overman, Robert Preston, Susan Hayward, Charles Bickford,  Walter Hampden, Martha O'Dris- coll and Janet Beecher.
 In the DeMille tradition, Reap the Wild Wind" has an epic quail ity about it in the immensity of it's scope, it's roaring thrill scenes, and its powerful romantic story. It takes us back to the days of l840, off Key West. Then, as now. Am erica was fighting to keep it's sea lanes safe. Off the Florida coasts piratical salvagers plundered the fat carcasses of ships going to pieces on the reefs. Americas life line was at stake.
 Always in the foreground is Loxi Claiborne played by Paulete God dard, wild, tempestuous, loved hy two men, equally adept at yielding a fan in a drawing room filtration or a marlin spike aboard one of her ships.

WAR FORCES up
 GAS, OIL PRICES
 IN JUNEAU AREA
Gasoline Up Cent a Gallon -Stove Oil Takes "A
 Cent Rise

A price raise on petroleum prod nets. varying from a quarter of a cent to 2 cents a gallon, was an- nounced today in Juneau. The in creases are based upon the ln- creased costs of shipping, including surcharges and marine insurance, brought about by war conditions.
 Both the Standard Oil Company and the Union Oil Company rep resentatives, J. E. Boyle and Tom Dyer, have acknowledged the fol- lowing increases:
 Gasoline is up one cent gallon, stove oil is up three-quarters of a cent gallon, all grades of lubricat- ing oil are up two cents gallon, and all grades of grease, one quarter cent a gallon.
 This will probably make the re- tail price of gasoline 8 cents a gallon at the pump for standard grade and 25 cents for premium grade. Stove oil will probably retail for eight and three-quarter cents a gallon, diesel oil at seven and three-quarter cents.

 from MeNutt

The following instructions, re- leased on July 6, 1942, by Paul V. McNutt, Chairman of the War Manpower Commission, has just been received by the Auditor of Alaska:
 Birth certificates to prove Am erican citizenship for persons who want jobs in plants where work on secret or confidential Govern ment contracts is being done will no longer be required, Paul V. Me Mutt, War Manpower Chairman, announced today.
 "A new procedure developed jointly by the Army and Navy, the War Manpower Commission, and the U. s. Employment Service, he said, calls for merely a simple dec laration that the applicant for 8 job is a citizen. This declaration, however, must be signed by the worker in the presence of an Army or Navy District Procurement Fac tory or Plant Protection representa- tive. War and Navy contractors and b-contractors have been mo- tified of the new procedure, and the U. s. employment offices have been instructed to assist employers and workers in carrying it out.
 Information from the United States employment offices through out the country indicated, MT. Me Mutt explained, that many yalu- able man-hours of production were being lost because of difficulties

Hula Still Captivates
Hawaii's Tourists
Soldiers Now
Broadway Snowman
Arrives to Take Troupe
Of Stors to Islands

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-It's long
time since we have thought about
the Hula dancers on Hawaii but
they are still doing business at the
same old stand.
Don George, veteran New York
Snowman, brought back the news
from Hawaii, where he is director
Of the USO camp shows. He says
1000 performances variety. light
opera, band concerts, legitimate
plays were dished up to the boys
in the last year.
Dipping into the subject of the
Hula for a minute, Mr.. George ex-
planned that 1t Is, (regardless OF
what you might have heard),
"basically a religious interpreted
dance. the foot movement being
negligible, the hand gestures telling
the story"
Just the Hula.
1t is done in anything from a
celluloid skirt to one that is stitched
up from tea leaves. 1t isn't called
Hula Hula, either. Just Hula.
The entertainment program in
the islands is financed by the USO
with $4,000 monthly budget for
salaries and costumes. There are
no sets to complicate matters. An
open stage is anchored to a truck,
and the cast is usually close behind
on mule pack.
John Halliday Of the stage and
movies is producing Charles Aunt"
and Nothing But The Truth" for
the boys. There are mobile units
for small field positions. and there
are troupes playing the naval and
military hospital circuit. A spot Of
religious music is even supplied the
clergy for their services.
On the principal island. Oahu,
and the base of theatrical activities,
there Is show a week at each mill
tary reservation (the number Is a
military secret.
Show = Month Elsewhere.
In the outlying precincts - the
islands OF Kauai, Molokai, Lanai,
Maui and Hawaii they get q show
month with a little home grown
entertainment, thoughtfully de-
veloped by Mr.. George, to tide them
over.
Performances have been given to
audiences OF 5000 and to audiences
Of only IS in mess halls, barracks,
hangers, and once under Kiewe
tree. A show that would run an
hour on Broadway takes two out
there - great stretches of warm
hearted applause and 10 or IL
encores.
Important Hollywood and Broad
way characters have not been al
lowed to 60 over because Of military
restrictions. But that ban has been
lifted now and one Of the principal
reasons for Mr.. Georges presence
here is to book a troupe Of stars for
those exotic islands where gun play
nearly obliterated the singing Of
magic guitars.

which included many prominent per

RECAUSE WE are not producing enough Steel'
- we are not building ships and munitions as
fast as we can. To increase our steel producing
facilities we have had to fight the reluctant dra-
CONS among steel makers who have been too much
concerned about endangering their postwar posi-
ton by excessive steel production facilities
Because some Of the big steel companies have
had their dollal-a-year men III the war PRODUCTION
Board putting the brakes on expansion OF steel
producing facilities, we have not made progress
rapidly enough.
Labor has constantly insisted that we should,
and could produce more steel and has applied all
possible pressure upon the government. When
Congress took hand in the situation, 1t called IN
John p Frey, president Of the At'L Metal Trades
Department to tell what he knew. That was last
June Now the prodding by the special Con
oressionai committee appointed to investigate the
steel shortage situation, which is headed by
Representative Frank w. Boykin Of Alabama, has
resulted in approval on the building of sponge
iron plant by the Republic Steel Co.
Sponge iron? Well, it's nothing new In fact
it is old stuff But it is substitute Tor scrap IRON
of which we cannot get enough to meet our needs
Aud sponge iron can be made right at the MINES
in small plants and at mines in many parts OF the
country not now contributing to our needs. It's
another step along the lines Of laborS recOmmen-
datOn of bringing more plants to the workers
instead of messing up our housing situation fur
ther by bringing more and more men away from
their homes to the plants.
And that's only the beginning. The Boykln
committee should do some more probing into the
steel situation. 1t bring more things to light
that will help us win the war.

RADIO CHIEFS MAKE SENSIBLE
SUGGESTION

''WHY NOT reach settlement by sitting down
W and talking matters over with the union
leaders?' That's the common sense suggestion
made by leaders Of the radio industry in connec-
ton with the controversy between the Musicians
Union, on one hand, and the National Association
Of Broadcasters and other interests, on the other
The radio executives point out that, after all
it is principally just controversy between a union
and companies which make money out Of the
of records.
Why drag in the entire radio industry; why
persuade the tempermental Mr.. Arnold to use the
powers of the Federal government to harass the
union in court?
Of course, the court rather peremptorily dis
missed Mr.. Arnold and his complaint but that
extraordinary "crusader" is said to be meditating
an appeal.
If the advice Of the radio executives is taken
an agreement should be reached in short order
The jobs of hundreds and perhaps thousands OF
will be protected and Mr. Arnold will
have sufficient leisure to look after the job Uncle
Sam pays him to handle

i'm his speech to the investment bankers he said
he thought "organizers should be shot at sunrise .
but he insists he did not use the words union
or "labor" The editors who defend his ill-timed
outburst are not deceived. They're sure he meant
trade union organizers" and, of course, they are
dead right
However, the admiral hasn't the intestinal
stamina" to face the consequences of his ndis-
cretion Admirals supposed to be made of
sterner stuff They are not expected to stick their
tails between their legs and run away at the first
sign of vigorous opposition.
Land is doing a lot of explaining these days.
Senators and Congressman are asking him why
he countenanced this or that "smelly' deal -
transactions which enabled certain interests to
reap large profits at the expense Of the public
treasusury All his alibis are as weak as the story
he tells of what he meant when he suggested that

LIFTING TRADE BARRIERS

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS requests to Con-
gress that he be given power to lift fort the
period of the war, all customs barriers which I'M
pede the war production effort is plain common
sense This is joint war effort in which men,
resources and information must be
pooled. Under the lend-lease program we are sup
plying our Allies with whatever they need and we
ever they can furnish to meet our needs. In our
own production program we have need Of all
materials we can obtain whether of foreign OF
domestic origin
Under these conditions the existence of re-
strictions such as those which prohibit the trans
portation by sea of Navy supplies except in
United States vessels or prevent the use of non
American materials in the construction of ships
under the Merchant Marine Act or hinder the
movement in and out of our country of persons
and information essential to the war effort can
only slow down the war program. To levy tariffs
upon materials of foreign origin which are going
into war production means that the Government
in effect is taxing itself at the cost Of comphcat-
ing and hindering production.
In the case of Canada tariffs and other regu-
lations which stood in the way Of coordnated
war production program for the two countries
extend similar arrangement to other countries
The method proposed, which is not to repeal all
these restricting laws but to give the President
authority to suspend them, is one that could only
be justified by the emergency of war. The Presi-
dent properly suggests that the authority be
limited to the war period. 1t is possible, however
that the experience with reduced barriers to trade
during the war may provide lessons that will help
to bring about a more sensible attitude when we
face the problems of reviving international COM
merce in the postwar years.

HELPING THE AXIS

ONE WAY to help The Axis is to sell your war
" bonds to buy things you can go without. 1t is
reliably reported that more than a few folks are
running to the banks with their bonds each month
There are cases. of course, where bonds must be
sacrificed for emergencies. But the lad who cashes
his bonds in to buy fine clothes or to finance out
lays for luxury, is helping the Axis.
Don't forget this: if you cling to your bonds
go without some of the comforts to which you are
or foreGo those you have not enjoyed
YOU may stay out of the soup lines after this wal
is over. Save that 10 per cent, There will come a
day when it will be mighty handy
Finally our country is in desperate war -
YOU are in it, too. When YOU lend your money to
your country, there is an implied promise on youl
part to hold your bonds until they become due in
10 years. If YOU cash them in, except in dire nee
essity, YOU are embarrassing Uncle Sam.
