His Flying Fortress, h e "Rigor Mortis", was one which did it's part in paving the way for land ing forces on Pantelleria and Sicily after cleaning up" Tunisia, the Ad- vocate says. He made 50 operational flights over enemy territory and saw many enemy planes fali-vic- tins of the gunners of the 'Rigor Mortis." Although only slightly wounded himself, during his service in Africa, young Randrup's Flying Fortress returned from several raids badly shot up.
 Almost as outstanding as the young war hero's record in Africa, is his record-breaking return to his California home town = six days from French Morocco, in Africa, to Susanville at a total outlay of $6.60. He "hitch-hiked" across the ocean, spending a day in Scotalnd and two nights and a day in New York, then flew across the contin- ent landing at Sacramento via Los Angeles. There he changed his mode of travel, the Advocate reports, and bought bus ticket for the last lap -$6.6O.

Fight Looms On Drafting
 Of Fathers
By JACK STINNETT Associated Press )

WASHINGTON Capital observ- CTS. some time ago during the Con- gressional recess, were giving odds that the first big Congressional scrap on the docket when Congress reconvened would be over the draft of fathers. To those who differed, they can say, q told you so," for drafting of pre-Preal Harbor fathers will probably be the outstanding controversy in the Capitol in the next several days.
 The reason is quite simple: War Manpower and Selective Service are making a last ditch stand to avoid a universal draft of labor. By the reclassification of essential tor Hn- essential, if you want to put it that way jobs and threat to pre-Pearl Harbor fathers to pull them into the armed services they hope to drive enough men and women into war industries to take up the growing slack in the vital trades.
 Some members or Congress are up in arms against this kind of double-dealing
 They can make out whale of a case. By ignoring the seriousness of the essential labor situation alto gether, they can concentrate their argument on the contention that the armed forces are already larger than will ever be needed and leave WMC and SS very little ground to stand on.
 Sen. Burton K Wheeler, (D. of Mont.) one of the most outspoken in the move to exempt fathers, sums it up this way: Military men a. lone are not qualified to be sole judges of how large an army the nation should have.

There's more than just "junket- ing trip back of tthe Truman in yestigating committee visit to Alas ka. The committee has it's ear to the wind and it's nose to the trail ferreting down reports which have been emanating back to Washing ton that the war program in Alaska has been productive of a rather high amount of waste-energy and mon ey, time and men. War being a breeder of waste, ordinarily, this is not cause for undue alarm in war time. But the reports on Alaska ap- parently have bore a sufficient cred ence of truth to arouse Senator Truman and his committee to look the situation over. Not only is the Alaska Military Highway getting rather thorough going over but so are other installations, military operations and what-haye-ou. The Truman committee has made consid- erable of a reputation for saving government money. It will be in teresting to see what it finds out in Alaska, if and when it's report isl made public.

In an effort to get the early fall dogs (chums, by the more fancy name) while they are still fat and in good shape, 63 Wrangell fisher men presented a petition (contents of which you will find elsewhere in today's paper) to the the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, Fisheries Di- vision, asking that the fall fishing season be stepped up to next Mon day Sept. 20, instead of the an- nounced opening date Sept. 27. Fishermen say the dogs now are in the best shape whereas a couple of weeks hence they will be of inferior quality. Petition also calls attention to a reported situation at Caulder ing hauled down the bed of the stream with disasterous effects on the spawning grounds. Whatever the decisions may be, these are the kinds of reports we should think the Bureau would be interested in getting for it refutes that misap- prehension, sometimes heard in of- ficial circles, that fishermen are concerned only with catching fish. Fact is, the great majority of fish, ermen are just as concerned with maintaining the runs, seeing that they are protected and that proper management is exercised as are the custodians assigned by the govern mment to the task.

As is the traditional custom when such honor is bestowed, Alaskans will present a gift to the new pride of a seven-ocean Navy, the name of ev- cry contributor toward the gift be- ing taken for presentation with the token. There is no set amount to bel raised to carry out the gesture.
