WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Only a handful of States can get through october without some drafting of pre- Pearl Harbor fathers now that Selective Service has lifted the ban against it. An unofficial survey in- dicated that many States reported that they are scraping the bottom of the manpower barrel. If they are able to meet the October quotas, fathers heretofore deferred for de- pendency alone must go into uni form.

ALASKA 0PA SAYS
 TENTATIVE TERMS
 REACHED ON MEAL
AIaskans Will Receive Enough Raiioning
 Not Imminent

Apropos the numerous reports concerning the imminence of ra- tioning in the Territory, the Alaska Office of Price Administration to- day issued the following state ment:
 Tentative arrangements have just been made to permit ship ments of meat to Alaska outside the quotas recently set by the War Food administration. Information from Washington indicates that these arrangements, while exempt ing Alaska from the original quo tas, provide for controls to prevent excessive shipments This news is of particular importance to the welfare of the freeze-up sections which buy most of this meat in the summer.
 ''The quotas provided that for the three months ending Septem- Der 30, l943, the limit of meat im- portations was to be 65 percent of the beef and veal shipped in the same period of l94l, 30 percent of the lamb and mutton, and 85 per- cent of the pork. The 1941 base period was manifestly inappropri- ate for Alaska because of the con- siderable increases in population since that year, and was therefore so represented to Washington by the Alaska Office of Price Admin istration.
 Alaska Has Plenty
 There is of course a national meat shortage and in order toi supply Lend Lease and military requirements, civilian consumption has had to be cut. Alaska certainly should have no cause for complaint if she finds her supply under mod crate controls. She has been af- fected by food shortages far less than any other place under the flag.
 T am confident when they have time to think about the matter, | Alaskans will remember that they, | too, are Americans and capable of up their belts as the ! rest of the country has been doing ! for months. In the meantime, we do not contemplate rationing ex- cept as last resort. That has al- | ways been our assurance to Alaska ! and it still is.
 However, it should be called to the attention that rationing is by | no means the bugbear and mon strosity ithas been made out to be. Should unforeseen events ultimate ly make it necessary to adopt rationing program for Alaska, .here is no reason for the general | public to be concerned over the matter. Actually rationing is a not a menacing pro- cedure, and very generally through put the country, in spite of it's manifest inconveniences, it has been gratefully accepted. It simply guarantees an equal share of scarce to all people within the rationed area.
 No Rationing
 We do not at present contem- plate rationing program for AL iska. We do not, however, forget hat we are still trying to win a var, and in wartime the rules un- f Ter which we operate may change ,ver night. We have never felt bat in good conscience we could tive absolute assurances that there would be no rationing, and we have lever done so.
 At present, Alaska's reduction in neat supplies can easily be met
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-06-18
ICKES OPPOSES

Ickes immediately sent Fortas' memo to Secretary of the Navy Knox together with blunt note opposing the deal and demanding that Knox notify the President of this fact.
 Knox then gave the Fortas memo to his chief aide, Adlai Stew enson, grandson of Vice-President Stevenson in the Cleveland Admin istration. Stevenson wrote memo of his own opposing Ickes, follow ing which Knox sent both memos to the White House.
 The President, receiving the con- flicting views of his two cabinet members, sent their memos to At torney General Riddle asking him to investigate. Riddle has now turned the matter over to Assis- tant Attorney General Norman Lit tell in charge of public lands, who has given preliminary report to MT. Byrnes. It was on the strength of this that Byrnes held up the contract, even though it had gone into operation on November 20
 Meanwhile, Congressman Harry Sheppard of California, on the House Appropriations Committee,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-06-18

has held up an appropriation of around $2,o00,000 which the Navy had promised to put up as it's part of the bargain to put the deal into effect.
 NOTE: Josephus Daniels, ex-Sec- retary of the Navy, once wrote
 T remember one night toward the end of a session that MT Roo- sevelt (then Assistant Secretary of the Navy and I remained at the Capitol all night long, watching the legislation of closing hours fearing that some act might be passed that would turn over these invalu- able oil reserves to parties who laid claim to them without even decent shadow of title"
 This was in 1918. But in 1943 the same Mir. Roosevelt, busy with a thousand and one problems of the fiercest war in history, depended upon a different Secretary of the Navy.

ANOTHER DANGER

Wayne L. Morse dean of the University of Ore- gon Law School, and public member of the National War Relations Board has stressed the danger of in- flation particularly in its possible effects on the white collar" workers of the nation These, with persons living on fixed incomes, would suffer most from price increases, he pointed out.
 The white collar worker, class performs most important wartime job. Without the services performed by these employees the production ma chiaery of the nation would be stopped. Yet, as Dean Morse said, they likely to be overlooked when economic problems are being discussed in times of national crises.
 Unless the economic line is held, there will be a greater and greater tendency for white collar workers to desert their present positions for more lucrative posts in employment which receives the benefits of infationary wages. Unonized labor and farm labor through legislative Hobbies and organized force are working constantly better their incomes while the white collar man or woman has no con- centrated group through which he can move to boost his wages if imitation comes
 . If further wage and farm price increases are

strange reason, furthermore, the Navy took pains to keep the deal away from the Justice Department, which is supposed to negotiate, or at least approve. contracts dealing with public lands.
 Three officials of Standard Oil of California happen to hold lm- portant positions in the Govern ment: Ralph Davies, Deputy Pe- troleuin Administrator for War. and former president of Standard; How ard Marshall, former counsel for Standard, now counsel for the Pe- troleum Administrator; and Max Thorpburg, oil adviser to the State Department
 Ed Pauley, who recently resigned as secretary of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, but remains as treasurer, also has been close to Standard of California. There is no evidence, however, that any of the above were involved in the deal
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-06-18
NEGOTIATIONS SECRET

Inside story of what happened Is that the Navy carried on secret negotiations with Standard of Cali fornia during more than two months, finally sending the agree ment to the White House over Sec retary Knox's signature on Noyem- Der l8. The President approved 1t immediately. Two days later, Mo- vember 20, Standard actually began work on this long coveted oil pre- serve. It had owned lands adjacent to the governments in Elk Hills, and for years had wanted to lay hands on the rest. So eager was Standard that eight excellent wells were drilled immediately, even though the contract is now held up by MT. Byrnes.
 Finally, in March. five months after it was signed, Secretary of the Interior Ickes heard about the deal Until that time it had been a strict secret. Why it was kept secret nobody knows. Albert Fall at first denied that Teapot Dome had been leased, but was forced to ad- init it publicly two weeks after signing the contract.
 But in this case, not even other members of the Roosevelt cabinet knew about the deal until five months later, when Ickes is re- ported to have received tip from Howard Marshall, of Standard Oil of California, now in Ickes' em- plcy. Ickes then asked Under Sec retary of the Interior Fortas to study the matter
 Fortas wrote a one page memo cbjecting to the contract as a monopolistic throwing away of the nations most precious oil reserves He pointed out that during the first five years of operation the Navy would not receive a single cent or barrel of oil Even after the fiye-year period is up, Fortas
