 Pogue stated that Pan American Airway's application was denied several days ago on the grounds that acquisition of the Lavery ser vice might confront competitive lines operating between Anchorage and Fairbanks with negotiable competition.
 Because the Civil Aeronautics Board intends Ito go into whole Alaskan situation very soon" Pan Americans application to operate to Anchorage via Tanacross was also denied, Pogue stated.

MERCHANTS TO DEFER POSTING
 PRICE CEILINGS
Amendment to Reguld- lions Covering Alaska
 Expected by 0PA

Alaskan merchants today are in formed that they should defer pre- pairing and posting their price ceil- ings as required by the maximum price regulations of the Office of Price Administration until definite notification from the local OPA of flee is given them. This is according to a statement released by Mildred R. Hermann, Alaska Director of the Office of Price Administration.
 An order amending the general regulations in such manner as to make them more applicable to the unique and varying conditions un- der which merchandising is carried on in Alaska is expected to be issued shortly by the Washington office. This will materially alter the methods for fixing price ceilings and will react to the benefit of both consumer and merchant, Mrs. Hermann said.
 The willingness of the Office of Price Administration in Washington to cooperate with the Alaska office in the matter of meeting these un- usual conditions is source of much satisfaction.
 The order exempting the lumber industry of Alaska from the price ceilings for a sixty day period dur ing which permanent solution will be sought, is case in point. This action was taken by the Office of Price Administration in Washing ton following negotiations with the local office, backed by information concerning the problems of the in dustry due to the seasonal nature of it's operations" Mrs. Hermann said Because of the propose d changes in the. regulations, Mrs. Hermann has deferred her trip to the southern end of the Division until official announcement is made covering the proposed amendment.

 Guests of the club were Lieut.. R. I. Rizer and Lieut. G. K. Ebbe, U. S. Navy. Lieut..

 He said that the American fliers flew planes that were built in 1938 against the Japs, and fought against unbelievable odds. Lieut. Ebbe said that the natives in the Philippines are still on our side.

, HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
MIA ow~s6 Isc-

Most of the gals have been
leading ladies in their own right.
Anne Gwynne, now playing the
second feminine part, has every
reason to believe it will do her
a lot of good in Hollywood be-
cause she has the opportunity of
banging number of pistol slugs
through the wicked Mr.. Craw-
ford.
Marie Wilson, who hasn't yet
escaped from the comedy-blond
category, happens to have the
same part that Pat O'Briens
wife (Eloise Taylor played in
the original stage production of
Broadway"
George Raft dances again in
this picture, and he still can
pick 'em up and lay 'em down.
AS the story now is being film
ed, it's definitely biographical
in places, beginning and ending
in the present. At the start, for
instance, Raft is shown as Hol-
lywood star arriving in New
York, and one of his friends asks
the truculent actor whether he's
taking a vacation or another stu
dio suspension. Whats the diff
ference?" retorts Raft.
Another word about Miss Will
son: The last time / saw her she
was about to start work at Metro
in Il Married an Angel" She
was to be a real angel and was
telling me about the wire rig
ging and elegant gauzy costume
in which she was to float around
the set. But the part was cut out
of the picture. The studio had
been having SO much trouble
with censors that it feared to
represent flesh and blood
glamorist as spiritual being!

HOLLYWOOD, March IL -
The highest salaried group OF
chorus girls who ever hoofed in
Hollywood are kicking up their
glamor gains these days in
new version of the old hit play
Broadway" Collectively these
super-cuties also happen to be
the worst dancers seen in Los
Angeles County since the Junior
League Follies of 1929.
1t isn't that they're clumsy or
inept, or that they're going in
for corny comedy. In fact, movie
audiences won't even be aware
of the undeveloped state of their
dancing talent because their
work as chorus will be shown
only in brief scenes scattered
through the picture for atmos-
phere.
ALSO SELF-DEFENDERS
You see, these chorus gals are
really actresses. They were
chosen for their ability to speak
and reveal snappy lines, and for
beauty of face, and for aptitude
in putting up a good fight when
paved by leering gangsters. The
wages of these fancy dishes start
at $3.50 a week for the least
prominent one, and from there
shoot up sharply to an unstated
top for the leading lady, Janet
Blair.
Being actresses, they don
mind being ribbed as poor CHOIR
us girls. Miss Blair once studied
ballet dancing, but not this type.
Marie Wilson appeared in The
Great Ziegfeld' early in her ca
reer, but she was a showgirl
who just posed and w a ] k e d
around. Iris Adrian once had

role as a member of a honky-
tonk chorus, but that didn't Of
fer much in the way of dancing
training.
Others of the six babes in
broadway are Anne Gwynne,
Elaine Morey and Dorot h
Moore, none of whom could do
a time step or shake a sequin
until rehearsals began the 9TH
er day. The dance director in
sists he could have drilled them
into a pretty flashy group with
a little more time, but two or
three always seemed to be busy
in scenes with George Raft, Pat
O'Brien or Brod Crawford.

WASHINGTON, March H.
Just how thoroughly the
War Department hos grabbed
itself by its own bootstrops
and given itself q severe shake
UP won't be appreciated till
full details ore announced on
the Army general stoff reor-
9onizotion which goes into ef-
feet this week.
Most sensational of the
shifts concerns the new Serv-
ice Of Supply which now swoI-
lows completely the old Quar-
termoster Corps, the Ordnance
Department, the odjutont gen.
erol's department, and the
whole administrative and sup
ply functions Of the Army.
Only two combat branches of
the Army-the air forces and
the ground forces-ore ex-
cluded from the Service of Sup
ply and the commanding gen.
eroI Of the SOS, Moi. Gen.
Brehon B. Somerveli, thus be-
comes one of the most inpor-
tont men in the Army, being
exceeded in importance by on
ly the chief Of stoff and being
Of equal position with the two
lieutenant generals command
ing the air and ground forces
though SomervelI is only a mo-
ior general, as yet.
Gathering all these misceI-
loneous departments into one
administrative basket is q ire
mendous move towards simpIi-
ficotion Of Army procedure. 1t
has potentioIities for tying in
q lot Of red tope which has
bound up Army routine for
many years.
Over-simplifylng, the SOS
will aim to do everything for q
soldier except fight.
Exclusive OF oircroft and fly
ing equipment, which will still
be ordered by the dir force, the
SOS will determine the SOL
der's requirements for food,
clothing, shelter, health, equip
ment, weapons, ammunition.
This was formerly the job Of
Ga, the supply section Of the
general staff.
Once those requirements ore
determined, the SOS will toke.-

ion industry to insure the SOL
diers getting what they need

Of these fighting rnen to the

Portotion of supplies to the
tosk forces is on SOS Job.
This means there will be
SOS troops with each of the
tosk forces, to receive these
supplies and to keep the sup
ply lines operating Immediate
" behind the various fronts.
But on the bosis Of the Army
needing two or three soldiers
behind the lines for every SOL
der at the front, it can be seen
thot the sos will be by far the
biggest organization in the Ar
my.
ANOTHER IDEA
All this comes at the mo-
ment when there ore the first
strings of q movement for
taking all procurement func-
tions away from the Army and
grouping them with the pro-
curement bronches Of the Mo-
Wy, the Maritime Commission,
the eose-lend administration
and the treasury, and grouping
them in q single agency.
This recommendation comes
from the House committee in
vestieotirg national defense
which storted out to
do q job on labor problems but

cry phase Of the war effort.

MOST WITH THE LEAST

An American SeneTO' Oi'SS S'oNeo
out for himself O permanent place in
dictionaries Of quotations by observing
that the way to win wars was git thar
fustest with the mostest." Another way
to look upon things during such trying
times is do the mostest with the leost-
est"
And many Americans are doing
greet and good things these days With
very little - not great in the sense,
possibly, of building tanks, plotting
dive bombers or buying $lOOO-de-
Tense bond every payday. But they ore
doing something.
Mrs. W. A. Morsh of Dallas, Tex,
storted drive to collect enough in
pennies, nickeIs and dimes to pay Gen.
Douglas MocArthur's income tax. She
understood, and quite correctly, that
he would be too busy to file that nee
essory return by March IS.
The other day Mrs. Marsh got q
$l.5O money order for her fund. Ger
toink wasn't enough to sotisfy the tax
man, or make her fund topheovy. But
it wos signed, THE Boys Of Comp Ty-
son, Tenn.-$2l-o-month Iods who
not only earn their ST. but probably
need it themselves. They wrote:
I'VE, the soldiers Of Camp Tyson,
applaud your efforts in raising q fund
for General MocArthur's income tax.
We hope our slight generosity will re-
inforce your fund. In doing this we
hope that other camps Of Uncle Sans
Army will help. for General Macarthur
is q man that we all try our very best
to follow, and some day some Of US
wish to be with him."
Here ore men already doing all
that could be expected Of them, serv-
ing in the armed forces in time of war,
reody to give up their lives if necessary.
Yet'the spirit Of America moves them
to dig down among their not too nu-
merous pennies and dimes and come
up with something for the man the
JoPs can't lick, the man who drives the
Jops to hori-kori.
These boys ore what some refer to
as the little people, They don't do
much sociol-butterfIyine on ST.
month; they don't crash the gossip
columns with accounts Of their niqht
club fighting, or make headlines be-
couse they refuse to work or sian q
eontroet, or demand big wages, prof.
its or prices.
Yes, they are the little people and
it's the millions of people like them
who keep plugging away at little things
and win big wars After all, they know
whot happens when the Nozi lash bites
into the books of little people.
