This inhibition against these workers being employed in other work in Alaska and at their homes is very great and needless hardship to them, and in not a few instances will make them public charges.
 Were there Local Area Man power Committee" in this Divi- sion, as provided for in the di- rective order of the War Man power Commission, those work CTS who are unable to go outside and seek employment could be give a hearing a2d allowed to accept other employment.
 It is therefore clearly appar- cnt that Local Area War Man r0Wer Committee be created for this Division Of Alaska. or some u'ier means be provided where hY tile class O. workers referred tc, can be relieved of the ex- trerae hardship imposed by this order.
 Inaemuch as Directive No. XII of the War ManpOwer Com mission specifically states the re- employment in Alaska of these production and maintenance workers is contingent solely up- on the referaI of the U. s. Elm ployment Service, and in lieu of the absence of such Service from this Division of Alaska, # is urg ed that either branch be estab- lished or the proposed Local Area Manpower Committee be authorized to act as the agent of this Service.
 In view of the seriousness of the situation described herein, I re- spectfully request that as Chief Executive of the Territory, you utilize your good offices to effect speedy and satisfactory solu- ton to this highly untenable sit uation.

clicked of the mile in 1856 As in

Use Income 10 Buy
Bonds, Not Savings,
President Urges
Promises to Explain
Stabilized Eurnines
In Address Tonight
Earlier Story on Page Alb
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Advice to Americans to make
their War bond purchases out of
current income and leave undis-
turbed their present savings was
given by President Roosevelt at
his press conference this after
noon.
The Chief Executives discussion
of the Government drive for mag
nified war bond financing came dur
ing questioning about details of his
seven-point national economic pol
icy submitted to Congress yester-
day.
Further amplification of the pol
icy, including more specific indica-
tions of administration wishes for
the stabilizing of wages, was PROM
ised by the President during his
radio address scheduled for 10
O'Clock tonight.
VIII Define Meaning.
His particular promise with re-
gard to the wage stabilization ques-
ton came in response to request
for a more exact definition of ~sta-
bilized remuneration" a term which
he used In Yesterdays message.
His answer to this request, he
said, probably will come about halr
way through his 3o-minute address
tonight.
Mr.. Roosevelt's advice to Ameri-
cans boasting savings bank accounts
came during discussion of present
limitations on the amount of war
bonds which may be purchased by
an individual. The Treasury reg
ulations limit such purchases to
5000 yearly for one series and
$4,000 for a series of larger de-
nomination.
Asked about possibilities Of re-
moving these limits, MFR. Roosevelt
pointed out that pending tax pro-
posals very likely will reduce indi-
vidual current income to point
where purchases beyond the speci-
fed limits win be improbable. He
then emphasized that bond pur-
chases should be made out of income
only, rather than out OF funds with
drawn from other investments.
There is no use, he said, in case
where a person has 81 900 in saw
ings bank, where 1t probably is do
ing some sort of useful work. IN
drawing this money out for War
bond purchases.
May Change Fiscal Year.
During further questioning on the
subject of wage control, the Presi-
dent was asked If he had submitted
a directive to the War Labor Board
pertaining to such stabilization. He
said he had not, adding that such
an action falls into the category of
detail, to which he has not as yet
turned his attention.
In response to another question,
Mr. Roosevelt said he had talked
to legislators about possibility Of
changing the fiscal year to coincide
with the calendar year. but that no
progress in this direction has yet
been attained.
