Draft for Women for Work Looming; Plan
 Is Being Worked Out
tFirst of two articles on women
 in the war effort
Bv JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON The under ground has it that sometime early in l943 there will be registration (maybe even a modified draft of women for the war effort
 The reasons are two: CD Best estimates now are that more than 63 100000 persons will be needed in the military and industrial army by the end of next year, and there just aren't that many males avail able. (2) The example of Great Bri- tain.
 The War Manpower Commission breaks down 1943 requirements this way. 10000, ,000 for the armed forces :: 20, 900 ,00O in war industry; almost %, ,O00 900 in civilian industry (prac- tically all of it essential or near essentiaD about 8,oO0,00O for full time farm production; and about 5000 ,O00 for seasonal farm work. The record of women workers in this war is a revolution in the an- nals of labor history. They are do- ing everything from time-keeping to heavy manual labor.
 Still the consensus of manpower officials is that the potential army of women workers hasn't been tap ped. Not until the actual extent of this womenpower is known can the WING intelligently apply itself to the overall problem of distribut- ing manpower where it will do the most good.
 AS reports roll in to WING and the Department of Labor from every employer of women workers from Uncle Sam down to small factory owners who can count their skirted laborers on one hand, the picture of women in industry is beginning to clarify
 For example, it is now almost an industrial truism that women are as adept as, and in most in- stances even more adept than, men at precision work. They learn more rapidly many kinds of machine work
 They are especially skillful at operating drill presses, screw ma chimes, lathes. and at electrical work, riveting, soldering, inspec-

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Head quarters announced this afternoon that Allied troops in New Guinea have captured Sanananda Point and Sanananda village, wiping out all but three small pockets of re- sistance composed of survivors of the l5.000-man Jap Army in the Papuan jungles.
 Coupling with this blow to Ja- pans farflung invasion armies, the British headquarters reported, are fresh gains in three sectors by General Wavell's legions, driving the enemy back in conquered Bur ma from India and in other far Pacific fields.

 While Allied warplanes rode the skies over Burma and the South Seas, inflicting heavy new enemy punishment, General MacArthur's headquarters said that the capture of the two key Jap strongholds climaxed a series of coordinated attacks of two American and three Australian infantry forces.

DON GLASS
 IN ACCIDENT
 ON CHANNEL
Making Preliminary Flight This Afternoon, We'll
 Known Pilot Goes Down

Don Glass, veteran Alaska air man, while making a preliminary flight in his Woodley's Airway Stin- son tri-motored land wheel plane, prior to picking up his load of passengers for an afternoon flight to Anchorage, went down in Cas- tineau Channel, opposite Thane, during the noon hour today. The plane sank. carrying the wellknown pilot with it.
 Several small boats and Coast Guard craft went to the scene but the plane had sunk out of sight. Dragging is progressing at tn e scene this afternoon. Glass, who has been flying along the coast for the past six or seven years, landed here yesterday afternoon with passengers from Anchorage and was scheduled to leave this afternoon at o'clock on re- turn flight with a full load of passengers.
 No cause is definitely known as to the cause of the accident. Eye Witness Accounts
 Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Alaska Game Commission was one of two Juneauites who saw the accident. Fred Aver, Depu- ty War Savings Administrator, at home on leave this week, also saw the accident.
 Dufresne said the big Stinson, it's landing gear retracted, seemed to be having motor trouble as it swept down the channel, barely clearing the Douglas bridge. He said it hit the water twice before actually crashing. It struck the first time approximately oppo- site Mayflower Island, sending the spray flying, but it lifted it's nose and went on. Opposite Treadwell, the plane smacked the water once more but lifted again before going down for the final time.
 Dufresne said he could see the wings of the ship on the water for about 10 minutes after it crashed. Then it disappeared.
 Ayers account checked with that of Dufresne's. Both realized that something was wrong when they saw the ship sputtering across the bridge and could see black smoke coming from one motor from time to time.
 Dufresne reported the accident immediately to the Juneau Police who called the U S. Coast Guard Aver telephoned Alaska Coastal Airlines, Juneau agents for Wood ley Airlines, as soon as he saw the accident.
 Don Glass was married and his wife is employed in Hewitt's Photo Shop in Anchorage.
 Witnesses to the accident stated that Glass had left the cockpit and was on the wing of the plane when it went under. taking him with it.
 A. w. Woodley, owner of the com pany which headquarters in An chorage, has been notified by the local agents.

Leader Charles McNary's report to the press that the Senate COP cau- GUS "dripped with harmony" caused some good-natured grins among McNary's colleagues who attended the caucus.
 In his zeal to promote party interests, the charming Oregonian neglected to mention a bristling set to between himself and Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire over. COP representation on the im- portant Foreign Relations Commit tee.
 During the past session the Re- publicans had seven members on the Foreign Relations Committee, against 16 Democrats However, the COP, was holding out for a l4-9 alieprnent this session because of Republican increases in the Senate. So there was some disappointment wheh McNary informed the caucus that. the committee makeup was to be 1b.B instead of 14-9.
 Bridges and other non-- isolation ists hoped to place able. far-sighted Senator Warren of Vermont on the committee. However, with one va cancy instead of two, this was dif- ficult, because isolationist Senator James Davis of Pennsylvania, an- other candidate, had seniority over Austin.
