 Men for var industry and farm jobs is one af the major headaches of the war effort at the present time. Federal Works Administration has ordered the reinterviewing and reelassifying of some 375.0o0 work CTS on WPA rolls with view of eN- pediting the program Of putting qualified workers on the war johs. Meanwhile. Under Secretary of War Patterson reported 4,0O0 experience ed miners of copper and other vi- tally needed metals are receiving Army furloughs to relieve a labor shortage in that category. The men. who are being furloughed to the mines as civilians and who leave the Army on a volunteer basis. will be called back to active duty if they leave their jobs at the mines or the need for them is eliminated. War Secretary Stimson has said the Army is studying a plan to return older soldiers to civilian life with the aim of helping out industry.

 Congressional Committees
 The visit to Alaska of a =commit- tee of Senators consisting of sena tors Chandler. Wallgren and Holz man of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs and Senator Bur ton, a member of the Special Com mittee to Investigate the National Defense Program, commonly called the Truman Committee. has been exz tremely helpful to the cause of AL aska in Congress. Although the Sen ators were not able to remain In Alaska any considerable length of time. they really obtained an exz ceilent understanding of the military situation in the Territory and were thus able to report to the President and to their respective committees

 To Suspend Assessment Work
 On October 21 I introduced in the House a bill to amend the Act re- gently passed by Congress suspend ing assessment work on mineral claims for the assessment years end ing on July l, 1922 and July l. 1913. The bill seeks to repeal the last prOYiso Of that Act which reads as follows:
 Provided further, That such suspension of assessment work shall not apply to more than six lode mining claims held by the same person. nor to more than twelve lode-mining claim held by the same partnership. association. or corpor- ation.n
 In view of the fact that gold min ing has been suspended all over the United States and Alaska for the duration. and the further fact that there is an increasing and alarming shortage of manpower for neees- sary civilian and war occupations. it seems absurdly wasteful to de- vote any labor to the performance ot assessment work.
 Reapportionment Bill
 On October 20. the conference was had of the Senate and House conferees on the bill to reappor- ton the Alaska Legislature. Unan- imous agreement was arrived at on certain amendments which would postpone the effective date Of the bill until the election of 1914. It is expected that the conference report will be acted upon by both House and Senate within a few weeks. per haps even within a few days
 Alaskan Books
 The growing importance of Alas ka in the minds of the people of the United States generally is in- dteated by number of recent books on the Territory. Jean Potter of FORTUNE Magazine staff. who spent several months in Alaska in 1941. has written a book called Alaska Under Arms. Another book concerns Alaska of the old days and is entitled Lord of Alas ka: Baranov and the Russian Ad- venture by Hector Chevigny. The third book that will be of interest to all Alaskans is that of Charles D. Brewer of Barrow. The title of his book. Fifty Years Below Zero" is. as title. absolutely perfect. Charlie Brewers selection of a title for his book reminds one of the choice of what has been called the perfect headline. It seems that when the then English Poet-Laures ate, Robert Bridges, came to the United States some years ago, he was met at the dock by a number Of American reporters but refused to say a single word So the writer of one of the New York newspapers. in commenting upon it. used the

Major Alexander de seversky. who is un- questionably a competent flyer and airplane designed. has insisted viz orouslY that our pursuit planes were inferior to some of those of the British and of our enemies. These views were definitely contradicted by the War Department. and the War Departments opinion was largely sustained by a subcommittee of the House Committee on Military Affairs which had been appointed to make an inquiry into the matter. Within the last few days the Office of War Information has released for publication an extended report on the subject. the gist of which is that most of our pursuit planes now in use the P-39. Bell Airacobra: P-40, Curtiss TOMAHAWK. KITTI- HAWK, and WARHAWK: and P 5l, North American MUSTANG, while fast, sturdy and well-armored have a definitely limited ceiling and are not capable of fighting at the high levels that can be easily attained by pursuit planes of other nations. This deficiency is said to be due to lack of adequate engine power. It is generally reported that the P-47. Republic THUNDER BOLT, now entering production or in production. is the answer to the pilots most ardent wishes. It is ad- mitted on all sides that our bomb CTS and especially the four-motored Flying Fortresses and Liberators are in all respects truly excellent and their performances unquestion- ably equal if not superior to any thing known to be possessed by any other nation.
