Draft Lottery In Washington
 Next Tuesday

The third national Selectiye Ser vice lottery will be held in Wash ington March IT, St. Patrick's Day, when order numbers for the regis trants who enrolled this month to swell this Nations vast pool of pc tential manpOWer will be determined, National Headquarters, Seleetive Service System, has announced.
 In all probability approximately eight or nine thousand capsules will be drawn in this first wartime lot tery since 1918 and the third since enactment of the Selectiye Training and Service Act of 1940.
 Under present plans, the order numbers of the registrants who en- rolled as of February 16, will not be integrated in the old master lists as were the order numbers of the men who registered on July 1, 1941, in the second Selectfye Service Regis tration. Consequently it is not ex- pected that any of the February re- gistrants will be indueted in the i'm future.
 It is contemplated that registrants in the third registration will not be called until they have answered their questionnaires and have been which, probably will not be before May, according to expecta- tions of National Headquarters. Prior to May, all War Department quotas must be filled from men 21 to 35 inclusive, who registered in 1940 and 1941.
 If, while the February registrantsI are being classified, the War De- partment requests men in ageI groups from 21 to 35 years, theI quotas will come from the 1940 and 1941 registrants. If the request is for men of the 3rd registration, the calls will be filled by the February 1942, registrants.
 Serial numbers issued to the new registrants by the local boards, in the manner prescribed by Selective Service Regulations, will be marked T-1, T-2, and so on, to designate the Third Registration enrollees, and the numbers in the capsules drawn in the third lottery on Mar. IT will begin with the number 1O,0O1

domestic development on the Gnu zach Forest. in the vicinity of Cor dova and Seward, has progressed sat- isfaetorily but to a lesser degree than on the Tongass Forest in Southeastern Alaska. SiXty-seyen areas have been applied for there.
 Many groups of tracts for summer homes have been laid out and placed under permit in the past ten years. These are usually located on the beaches or along main roads and have proven very popular Summer home tracts can not be eliminated from the National Forests for even tual patent.

The Act of March 3. 1927 pro- Yides opportunity for citizens of the United States to purchase one claim. not exceeding five acres, of unre- served nonmineral public lands in AL aska upon payment of $2.50 per acre. This Act applies only to "unreseryed public land" and does not cover lands within National Forests. How ever, a procedure has been establish ed which permits Of elimination of desirable homesite tracts from the National Forest so that title can be obtained under the above Act. ac- eording to the U. s. Forest Service.
 Those desiring homesites within National Forest areas must first se- cure Special Use homesite permits from the Forest Service at a rental of S5.00 a year. The permit require-I ments include the construction of substantial buildings suitable for al permanent home and year long res idence for at least three consecutive years to the exclusion of a home elsewhere. Application for elimina- ton can be made after the improve ment and residence requirements have been met. Recommendation for elimination from the National For est is then made by the Regional Forester to the Secretary of Agricul-t ture and the Secretary of the In-I terior. After elimination. application for patent may be made through theI General Land Office at Anchorage.
 The taking of nomesites within National Forests is approved only on tracts tributary to an established settlement or on areas that appear to hold possibilities for the establish ment of new communities. Areas that contain exceptionally valuableI stands of timber or are needed in connection with water power de- Yelopment or for road, trail or otherI public uses are not available forI homesites.
 Homesite areas are usually laid out in groups in advance of applica- tion. Thirty-four such groups hayeI been surveyed on the Tongass For est. Practically every settlement in Southeastern Alaska has one or more of these groups t0raling 162 tracts. Two groups have been surveyed along the Wrangell Highway. These contain 47 homesite tracts. Of these, 15 have been eliminated for patents, 19 are under permit, and 13 are va want and open for application.
 The first homesite application rel eeiVed by the Forest Service wasi dated April 12, 1927. Since then, i 820 homesite areas have been ap- piled for on the Tongass Forest. OfI these. 204 tracts have been elimin- ated for patent and 45 are now in the process of elimination. In ad- dition, ITS homesites were occupied under permit on January 1, 1942.

ISOLATIONISTS TEST

South Dakota moves into the lime
light politically tomorrow when two
leading congressional isolationists
face the ballot box in hot primary
contests squarely on their records.
They are Senator william Bulow,
sombrero- wearing, tobacco-chewing
Democrat, and Representative Karl
Mundt, nimble- tongued Republican.
Both are running for third terms.
Also, although bearing different
party labels, they have identical
out-and isolationist records.
Bulow's opponent is Tom Berry,
picturesque cowboy Ex-Governor, a
militant supporter of the Presidents
defense and foreign policies. Much
of Berry's campaigning has consist
ed of quotations from Senate isola-
zionist speeches made by Bulow.
Berry has used this strategy with
blistering effect.
Among some of Bulow's gems
caustically recalled to the voters by
Berry are, I'D rather be a live
coward than a dead hero; Lets
raise spinach instead of building
ships; Hitler and Japan will new
er attack us"
Berry also has made much of Bu-
lows ardent support of the con-
gressional pension grab The South
Dakotan was one of the hottest adj
vocates of this Doodle scheme and
his opponent has seen to it that the
voters haven't forgotten it.
Obviously scared, Bulow in the
last weeks of the campaign, has
made strenuous efforts to picture
himself as an intimate of the Presi-
dent He made several undercover
attempts to wheedle helpful ges-
ture from the White House. But
significantly, Roosevelt made no
move to help him.
Mundt's speeches, and particular
ly the fact that he did lot of soap
boxing for the American First Com
mittee, also have been a big boon
to his opponent. Mundt's tie-up with
America First has drawn much fire
from leading American Legionnaires
in the State and he has spent much
time trying to placate the veterans
But Bulow and Mundt had a lot
of ground cut out from under them
when the Republican National Com
mittee adopted the Willkie anti-iso-
lationist resolution. This was tough
TO take.
They had counted strongly on
COP isolotionism to back-stop them
But with the party now officially on
the opposite side of the fence, Blu
low and Mundt find themselves in

great East Room has a new parquet
floor, but there is no one to dance

Simply as a matter of ritual, fresh
flowers are still brought into the
rooms every day, but there are only
three regular residents to see them.
The crowds that used to make a
public museum of the White House
are thing of the past
Two years ago this month. high
point in tourism was reached, when
1900 men, women, children and
babeS-i n-arms traipsed through
parts of the White House in a single
morning. And as recently as Easter
194l. 1000 children and mothers were
admitted to the White House
grounds in single hour.
Then came the ruling that only
men in uniform would be admitted
to the White House as sightseers,
and only on Saturday mornings.
Later came Pearl Harbor, and all
tourists were barred. Now, the old
residence that used to be called the
Presidents Palace resounds regu-
larry to the steps of only three ten
ants-the President, Mrs. Roosevelt
and Harry Hopkins.

His philosophy of life his conception of the destiny

words of Bourke Cochran he fond of quoting:
The great stream of humanity that had
its source in the shades of antiquity back

flowing unerringly and irrepressbly in obed-
ence to the laws of Deity beyond the power
of man to change toward the mighty

in good time no matter what we might do
here today.
What matters it which atom in that great
human stream might arise to the surface to
sparkle in the sunlight today only to be sub
merged tomorrow that some other atom might
take its place and sparkle for day in its
turn? The best that any of us can do for
humanity is to keep himself clean, to give

universe command the fate of all"
