O. 5. SULLIVAN,
 TAX COLLECTOR,
 TO BE RETIRED
Popular Alaskan Official Left Desk in Anchor
 age July 31

Friends in Juneau recently learned that O. s. Sullivan, genial Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue in All aska, is to be officially retired next November IT, but left his office in Anchorage the last day of July to take advantage of three and a half months leave he has accrued.
 MT. Sullivan made his headquart- CTS in Juneau from 1884 until July of 1941 and since then has lived in Anchorage. He has hundreds of friends among the residents of AL aska, despite holding the supposedly unpopular title of tax collector.
 According to story in the An chorage Daily Times recently, MT. Sullivan planned to go south for a vacation on the coast after closing up his desk on July 31. However, he and Mrs. Sullivan expect to return to the Territory to make their home in or near Anchorage.
 Likes Alaskans
 MT. Sullivan liked being a tax collector for Alaska and used to- say '"Alaskans are the easiest people to get along with that know" He has travelled extensively in the Ter ritory and knew almost every tax payer in the more than half million square miles of bis district.
 He winds up 38 years of govern ment service with his retirement, Born in Summitville, Indiana, he was reared as farmer in Kansas. He was educated in the public schools and Nickerson Normal Col lege in Kansas and later studied at the University of the Philippines in Manila.
 In 1900 he enlisted in the Army and served as private and hospital steward in the Philippines and dur ing the Boxer Rebellion in China. After a short period of civilian life, he went back into the Army as a sergeant in the hospital corps, serv- ing again in the Philippines.
 He was discharged in 1908 in order to accept a position with the Phil ippine Medical School, where he was secretary and registrar of what later became the college of medicine and surgery of the University of the Philippines, a government institu- tion. During this time, he married pretty Army nurse on duty in the Philippines and she has remained with him ever since.
 Was in USPHS
 He entered the Philippine Ma tional Guard training school during World War I, and was enroute to San Francisco for commission when the war ended. He then ac- cepted position as chief in the department of property and supply of the University of California med ical school and hospitals and in 1920 he joined the United States Public Health Service.
 He left that work to enter private life as secretary treasurer of the Highland Fruit Company at Ken newick, Washington, had short experience as an independent farm CT, and then became deputy col lector of internal revenue in Spo- kane. He served there and in Yakima for 12 years and when he was trans ferred to Alaska in 1884 he thought he was being sent to the end of the world.
 But then life really began" he says. T liked Alaska and found the people wonderful"

Taft Predicts Change
In Draft Rules 10
Take Boys 18 and 10
Senator Urges Uniform
System for Induction of
Married Men Lost
Ry the Associated Press.

Fy the Associated Press.
Action by Congress to make 18
and 19 year old registrants subject
to the draft was predicted today by
Senator Taft. Republican. of Ohio,
who said the Selective Service sys-
tenn ought to be overhauled at the
same time to provide fixed sched-
ule of inductions.
Senator Taft told reporters he
had no doubt that Congress would
be called on this fall to lower the
draft age to meet the Army's de-
mand for younger men in the serv-
ice.
At the same time he said a uni
form national system of inductions
should be established under which
married men with children would
not be called for active service until
the eligible men in other classes had
been exhausted
Selective service recently has act
ed to set up Statewide pools in
which local boards cooperate to
shift quotas so that married men
will not be taken before the supply
of eligible single men Is exhausted
Previously local boards filled their
quotas from their own lists, result
ing in married men being called in
some areas and not in others.
The Ohio Senator said he thought
the whole Nation, rather than each
State, should be placed on the pool
basis and the schedule of induction
fixed by law rather than left to the
agency.
