Morale Building

new and commendable trend has been noted in advertising lately, both in newspapers and magazines It has been brought about by widening recognition of the new cultural and moral of advertising and indications are that this form of advertising will do more to stamp industry product with enthus iastic approval than anything in recent years
 Practically all industries at this time are existing for one purpose - to aid in this countrys war effort Much is expected of these industries They're on the spot John Public wants to know what they're doing.
 Auto plants that once produced shiny chromium plated motor are manufacturing dull-coored tanks They don't look pretty as the straight eight models they used to produce, but the tanks look mighty pretty to jttery John Public. So in place of shiny autos in the adertisng columns, you tanks and airpanes And John Public begins to look with a much more favorable light on the manufacturer.
 Even the tire companies which have nothing to sell at the moment have combined sound patriotism with business acumen in educational advertising This is directed toward helping their former customers con- serve what they have And the automobile companies also have used advertising to tell their former customers how better their present models
 Likewise food manufacturers have made of ad- vertisng to prevent the company from mourning ill will for wartime interferences over which they have no control One advertiser who wanted to explain why as result of less n there would be less canned food in his store after this said
 Don't blame your grocer And don't blame your Government Pin full responsibility Hitler Hrohito and Benito- and be glad that less tin for means more bullets and shells for Americas guns!'
 Besides retaining customer loyalty, such advertis- ing constitutes an important morale builder in adjust ing the American public to the inevitable depriV- atOns of wartime economy.

Local Board Classifications May Be
 Corrected By Board of Appeals

All local boards welcome the adjudication of their acts by the board of appeal when registrants avail themselves of their right to make legitimate appeals John L. Mccormick, Territorial Selective Service Di- rector, stated today. He said:
 "A local board does not object to having it's classi- fcations appealed Such procedure will confirm the opinion that in large proportion of instances, the de- termnatonS of the board correct and yet 1t is frank ly recognized there is possibility of and Reg uatons provide for its correction. The regstrant do considerable in the first instance however to help the board and prevent mistake
 Like jury, some local boards influenced by their opinion of the honesty and frankness of the reg istrant. If they find any to be false such questionnaire the boards have tendency to be- lieve that all of the of the regstrant are n correct or questionable and act in accordance with their opinion If the attitude of the re9isran himself is open and frank there is a natural inclination for the boards to lean forward in their consideration of the registrants status. Any registrant is misguided when he attempts to conceal information is evasive in explaining his circumstances.
 There is involved le9alistc procedure for ap- peal, Mir. Mccormick said. If the registrant wishes to appeal to the board of appeal he may file with the local board within ten days of notice of classification written notice of appeal This is simple statement of the appellant showing that the individual has the right of appeal and specifying in what respect he be-
 eVes the board to have erred he may direct attention 10 any information in the reglstrants file which he believes the local board has failed to consider give sufficient weight and may set out in detail any in- formation which offered to the local board and which the board failed to include in the registrans file
 Appeal to the Board of Appeal may also be initiat- ed simply by the appellants signing the Appeal to Board of Appeal" on the regstrants questionnaire, He may not appeal on physical grounds
 "The registrants file is then sent to the board of appeal After decision of the board of appeal the To-
 cal board is informed of the decision and sends to the registrant either Notice of Continuance of Cass- fcaton or Notice of Classification, depending upon whether the board of appeal affirmed the local boards classification gave the regstrant another cassfc- ation

WASHINGTON-Donald Nelson s WIPE and Leon Henderson's OPA are the source of more tire stories than you can shake a wrench at. Just a few culled from the crop Of the last few days are:
 Illinois: In a small town lpop. 2,10ol the mayor was curious 10 know how many of his neighbors were hoarding He called in the man who read gas meters in the town He asked him to make a check of the tires stored in base ments The meter man grinned and said he already had and that he had counted 186 tires hidden away in that village. The mayor calculated that probably was less than half the hoarding going on in his baili- wick. If there were, he reasoned. 400 tires in this town Of 2,100-or one tire for every five personst and if his community were average. then there are about 26.000,000 new tires hoarded in the basements and atties of the nation.

THROUGH TBlE POLITICAL
 PElRIgCOPE

Interior Secretary Ickes spiked this week the circulated report that Gov. Ernest Gruening would be re- placed. Ickes said the report was without foundation, adding. in a statement issued 10 the Associated Press in Washington. that Gruen- ing was appearing before congress sional committees as is usual each year and that he would depart this week to resumee his post in Juneau. Ickes should know. He opposed Gruening's appointment in the first instance Dr. Gruening was named by President Roosevelt over the Interior Secretary's objection.
 The report emanated from the Third Division and appeared in an article in the Anchorage Times which said Gruening would be re- placed by Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond, who is now a candidate, un- opposed for reelection to Congress. Article probably was one of those wish father to the hope" ideas with apparently no foundation in fact. Alaskans agree Delegate Di- mond would make an excellent Gov ernor but hes too valuable a man in Washington during these criti- cal times for that sort Of a change.

 We promised you an explanation of the Selective Service case in which there arose hints of politics. Here it is from Acting Governor E. L. Bartlett in a communication to your Periseoper:
 Dear Lew:
 I have gone into this matter quite carefully because as indicated to you in my radiogram l was con- siderably disturbed at the sugges- ton that political considerations were even thought to be involved in anything having to do with Selec- tive Service Upon the basis of my inquiry l am convinced that poli- tics-giYing the word any and all definitions-is not at issue here.
 Admittedly a clerical error was made in placing in the Acton file the letter from Don Wright for con- sideration by the appeal board. The appeal board properly should have ruled only upon the evidence sub mitted by local board No. 15, but after talking with John Mccormick I have no doubt at all in my mind and I do not think you would have either undar the same circ1JTn ct a n . ces-that his statement that the Wright letter was inadvertently in- cluded in the file is entirely accur- ate. I can realize that your local board was perturbed by this and as a member of the board I think should have felt the same way my self, but the wonder to me is that more things of this character dc not happen in view of the fact that such an enormous amount of work is being accomplished.
 With respect to the authority oi the appeal board to act on it's own motion, Mir. Mccormick is not in agreement with you. At my request he prepared a memorandum on this subject. I quote from it:
 ''In the March 27 issue of his pa. per, the Wrangell Sentinel, MT Will. Hams states, S. s. regulations pro- vide that only local boards or Con. gress can classify or reclassify.'
