FACTS ON ALASKA GUARD

Some question has arisen in the minds of a few relative to the sta Jus of the Alaska Guard and the nature of it's service, a local comp any of which has been formed here under command of Capt James Lovett. Gov Gruening, Commander in-Chfef of the Guard clarifies, we believe. any erroneous ideas men may have about the Guard, in the following information to The Sen- tinel. The Chief Executive says:
 The organization of the Guard was requested by the Alaska De- fense Command and, needless to say, has it's hearty approval, as well as the approval of the War Department, which is supplying rifles and ammunition. Also, the Alaska Defense Command has offer ed the fullest cooperation in the or ganization and training of the Guard wherever possible. The War Departments issue of Army Regula- tions No. 850-250, Regulations for State Guards, states:
 "t3. STATUS OF STATE GUARD. a. FORGE STATUS. The State mil itary force (State Guard) eontem- plated by these regulations, organ ized under the provisions of the foregoing statutory authority and of the constitution and laws of the State concerned, is solely STATE military organization. It is not sub feet to call order or draft, as such force, into the military service of the United States; nor is it subject to Federal regulation or control other than as provided expressly, or by reasonable implication, by the statute above quoted
 Substitute the word Territorial for State and you have the status of the Alaska Territorial Guard. The Guard is a volunteer organiz- ation and it's members are merely bound by the oath which they take freely before being enrolled, pledg- ing obedience to the orders of their superior officers. The units are for local defense only.
 The Territorial Guard will CO., operate one hundred per cent with the constituted authorities and par ticularly with the Alaska Defense Command. The Territorial Guard is a volunteer organization drawn from civilian life and not subject as an organization to the orders of the Alaska Defene Command, ex- cept insofar as all civilians in AL aska are bound by military orders which the Alaska Defense Command is authorized to issue under special act of Congress, vesting extraordin- ary wartime powers upon the Pres ident as Commander-in-Chie and which he in turn delegates to the respective military commanders.

 stressing chat it will be necessary to work out detailed categories to give complete effect to the intent of Congress- the telegram states that until this work can be complet- ed, and in order to give immediate effect to the general intent of Con gresss registrants should be selected for induction according 10 the four categories it outlines.
 The setting up of the four cate gories does not affect oceupational classification in any way. National Headquarters said.
 Pointing out thai the new Act provides for family allowances for dependents of enlisted men of the fourth. fifth, sixth and seventh grades in the Army. Navy. Marine Corps and Coast Guard and that these allowances will accrue from the date of induction. or from June ], 1912, if the date of induction preceded that date. National Head quarters emphasized that the allow anees will not be paid in any ease until November 1, 1942.

eff Congress imposes closed shops, compulsory

Commander in Chief in time of directs that
Wards accept the boa rd's ruling which earnestly
believe illegal and uneconomic, will respect

The President November Is the
Pany saying
Gas Commander in Chief in time of war, l
direct Mont gomery Ward and Company comply,
without further delay with the National War
Labor Boards directive order of November $ 1872
Wards Immediately answered
''Your order of November 18th has been
received and will be promptly obeyed."
Wards thereupon altered the general form of its
contracts with unions and Incorporate, word for
word, the clauses ordered by the War Labor Board.
This document offered the union The
pany has fully complied with the Presidents direc-
ton and will continue o do
The document which the President has directed
Wards sign is a The requisite of
contract is that there be a meeting of the minds
agreement between the parties. There has been
agreement between Wards and the union. The docu
which the President has ordered Wards to sign
affects the rights and liberties of Wards and of its
employees Therefore in order that the document
itself may be clear and the facts Wards informa
lively included these three sentences:
"The following provisions voluntarily
agreed to by the company. In the companys opinion
they illegal and unsound. These provisions
copied verbatim from the War Labor Boards order
of November 5, 1912, and are incorporated herein
the company's part, under duress and only because
the President of the United States, COMMANDMENTS
Chief in time of war; has expressly ordered that they
be included"
These three sentences are in all respects true
They do alter the effect of the provisions ordered
by the board provisions which Wards will carry
Nevertheless the union has refused sign the
offered document.
Wards will be happy accept any improve
ment in the wording of this statement, but Wards
will resist any attempt hide the truth by change
in its substance.
On January 9, 1941, the President said:
''In the future days which we seek to make
secure look forward a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms The first is freedom
of speech and Observation-Disclosures in the world"
Wards feels that it is bound by the rules of good
citizenship make that the simple truth about
these provisions and Wards acceptance of them be
hidden from or misrepresented its hundred thou
sand employees, sixty thousand shareholders and
its many millions OF customers. The elimination of
this statement would purpose but con-
ceal the truth from readers of the document.
Wards has cheerfully met with the union and
with this board whenever requested Wards has
promptly obeyed the direction of the President
Wards insists that its right tell the truth &c

The War Labor Board November s, 1912,
issued order that Wards incorporate" in a
tract with CfO union at Chicago:
l. A clause establishing a form of the closed
shop, called maintenance of membership together
with CheCk-off of union dues from wages.
2. A clause providing for compulsory arbitra
ton any questions the union wishes raise.
;. A clause guaranteeing in these uncertain
times present wage and working conditions for year
Wards rejected this order of the board for these
reasons:
/. The board without authority. Congress,
the only law making authority under the constitu-
ton, has empowered the board order any
employer do any of the things which the board
demanded of Wards
2. The order violated the Fundamental princ-
piles of liberty Liberty requires that employee be
free to join resign from union without Jeop
ardizng his livelihood. Liberty requires that
employer be free employ the person best suited for
the work.
}. The order in itself illegal. The order
required Wards, first, interfere with the free
choice of it's employees resign from the union;
second, to give support to the union by ckott
of union dues; and third, discriminate against
employees if they resigned their membership in the
union, all in direct violation of the National Labor
Relations Act.
4. Wards operates in a highly competitive field
composed of million hundred fifty thou
sand retail establishments. 1t is unfair impose bur
dens upon Wards and upon those with whom it is
in competition.
The imposition of the closed shop against Wards
cannot be justified by reference the so-Called
strike agreement. Wards a party this
agreement Wards had no voice in the selection of
those who representatives of industry, attended
the conference in December, 194l, which formulated
this agreement Wards has ratified the results
of that conference.
Furthermore, the conference itself did agree
that the War Labor Board might impose the closed
shop principle. Those acting representatives OF
industry expressly recommended the President that
this issue be considered by the board The board
in ordering form of closed shop Wards, has acted
contrary these expressed recommendations of the
industry representatives.
If Wards had had the right to test the legality
of the boards demands in a court, Wards would have
done SO, but Wards deprived of a remedy in the
by the boards complete lack of legal authority
compel obedience of its order. The will only
when legal rights have been violated. The
have declared that the mere making of demands
which do not have be obeyed does not, in the
of the law, violate any legal right. The boards very
lack of authority thus resulted in denial Wards,
has other employers of right relief in the
The President of the United States as we'll as
the board is wholly without constitutional authority
order any employer do the things demanded of
Wards. Nevertheless, in deep respect for the Pres-
dent and his great responsibility in time of war,

Werner Won Fritsch, who was re-
puted to have bucked Hitler and
who died In Poland early in the
war. The official announcement said
he was killed in action before
Warsaw.
Reuters said Hitler issued an order
Of the day as Fuehrer and COM
mander in chief Of the German
forces calling Gen. Won Reichenau
standard bearer Of the thoughts Of
. new age" and saying that his
name will live forever in the his
tory Of the German people and its
armed forces"
A Moscow broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press went even
further than the British on Gen. Won
Reichenau and said that weI-in-
formed sources In Stockholm be-
lieved that he was removed" by
agents of Heinrich Himmler, Na1
Gestapo chief.
1t, too, cited Gen. Won ReichenauS
reputation as an athlete and de-
clared that the designation Of
ReichsmArshal Herman Wilhelm
Goering and Won Rundstedt to rep
resent Hitler 1T q state funeral was
"an attempt by pompous ceremonies
to hush down rumors Of the assassi-
nation Of Won Reichenau which will
inevitably spread in the German
army and among the population"
Rumors Current for Weeks.
Asserting that rumors had been
current for weeks in Stockholm that
something" would happen to Won
Reichenau, the broadcast continued:
'"The heavy losses in electives and
ornaments sustained by his army
enraged Hitler and q plumber Of
generals closely connected with him.
Won Reichenau's dismissal was
believed imminent. However. in view
Of the demoralizing impression pro-
duced on the German army and, in
particular, ON the officers by re-
movals and appointments which fol-
lowed the dismissal of Won Brau-
chitsch, It was decided to find some
other method for elimination Of Won
Reachenau for the edification of
other generals Of the regular army.
"As 1t is, Hitlers defeats at the
Soviet-German front have under
mined confidence in the ability Of
the new Hitler command to save
the situation. 1t is pointed out here
that all Won Reichenau's attempts
to please Hitler by brutal applica-
ton Of Hitle9's methods OF destruc-
ton, plunder and massacres on oc-
cupied Soviet territory failed to save
Van Reichenau."

II Hurt as Fire Sweeps
7 Sacramento Oil Plants
By the Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. le-
Eleven persons were injured and
one was missing today in q spectacu-
lar fire which swept through two oil
company plants on the northern
outskirts Of Sacramento.
The fire started at the oil depots
OF the Weitz and Signal oil COM
panies and spread to two nearby
buildings. High shooting flames
lighted up the surrounding area for
miles, and explosions were heard
as far as Folsom, 20 miles away.
Five Of the injured were fremen.
Reports from the scene said three
15,000-gallon tanks Of gasoline and
three 8,000-gallon tanks of fuel oil
were af1ame at the Weitz plant.
Large stores of lubricating oil were
burning at the Signal plant.
Fire Chief Terrence Mulligan re.
ported early today that the fire was
under control but would be allowed
to burn itself out. This. he esti-
mated, would take several hours. The
blaze started late last night. Chief
Mulhgan said the amount Of the
damage has not been determined.

is deceptive" because assessments
are based on full value.
Il take issue with that statement"
said Representative Sauthoff. Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin washington
is one Of our biggest cities and 1t
pays the least"
II know you feel that way down
In your heart, Mr.. Commissioner, :"
interposed Mr.. Schultz.
What do you know about my
heart?" facetiously asked the Com
missioner.
25eo Higher Living Cost Seen.
Representative Schultz insisted
the cost of living In Washington is
IS per cent higher than elsewhere,
and that the increased pay he is
seeking for police and firemen would
only cost residents Of the District 8
cents q month.
And I don't think they would
kick about that" he added.
George A. Richardson, president
of the international Association Of
Fire Fighters, said that the bill was
reasonable" and could be financed
out of surplus revenues in the
Federal Treasury to the credit Of
the District.
Auditor Pilkerton declared that
actually the District has no surplus,
and that $780, 900 in the Federal
Treasury to the credit of the Dis
trict is Offset by more than $11,-
100000 In various loans which must
be repaid.
Il would certainly not say we had
. surplus" he said.
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter
gave his support to the bill and
described it as grand"
Fewer Men Than In 1880.
The Washington Fire Department,
Fire Chief Porter declared, is "one
of the best" in the country and its
members have not had q pay in
crease in II years. Although the
city had grown, he explained, the
department has less men than it did
in 1880. In that year, he said, the
personnel totaled 902. Now it is 872.
Walter Fowler, District budget Of
ficer. told the subcommittee there
are 5000 low-salaried employees on
the municipal pay roll entitled to q
raise.
1T is high time that we increase
the pay Of all District employees" de-
clared Mr.. Schultz.
Both Mr.. Schultz and Mr.. Sauthod
said they favored raising the real
estate tax rate to provide additional
revenue to grant pay raises to all
District workers.
