Work Oh FIGHT BILL

A few weeks ago IN this col
umn, after the passage by the
House of the so-called May Work
or-Fight Bill, we predicted that
the bill would go to the Senate
where il would be further weak
ened. Unfortunately, that pre-
diction came true. and the Senate
has passed a bill entirely differ
ent from the House bill.
In brief, the House bill provid-
ed that all male persons between

tween those ages not engaged in
essential wal industry must aith-

object OF the bill was IN part 10

dent, the Commander in-C Chief Of
the armed forces for a National

However, the Senate wrote an m
tirely different bill, providing no
penalties fer employees who left
their essential war Jobs, and max
ing no provision Tor the pool

II did put q penalty on the en-
ployers. The bill also penali2cd

to send it to conference prevailed
by a small margin.
The chances of getting anything
like an adequate bill 10 meet the

slight indeed. The Senate is de-
cidedly against any kind of COM
pulsory law that would require
labor to stay on the job. In the
meantime, since the passage of the
House bill some weeks ago, labor
had made considerable progress
in building up opposition to the
House as was disclosed by the
sending of the bill TO conference.
A significant thing is that the
Democrats who joined with the
Republicans in the effort to pre-

Mr.. Virgins, operator of the
Virgins Drug Stores, gave an in
terestipg talk on the drug bust
ness. explaining that it was en-
tirely different from the average
retail business due to the pre-
scription department, the opera
ton of which is strictly bound by
state and federal regulations.
He told of the tremendous adj
vance in the prescription drug
business from the early days,
when, he said, druggists prob
ably took more money and did
less good than any other retail
merchant.
The drug business is now
bound by uniform codes and laws,
and ii was the druggists that saw
the evils of the indiscriminate sale
of narcotics and were instrument
tai in helping to pass the Harrison

SOVIET SLAP
 STRUCK OUT
 TWO PLACES
Position of U. S., Britain al Ministers Conference
 Called Serious

MOSCOW, Oct. 5-The Soviet government organ Izvestia, in a front page commentary, said today that if the United States and Britain continued to insist upon the position they took during the Foreign Ministers Conference in London, they would shake the very basis of collaboration" among the three major powers.
 The editorial was the first com prehensive explanation of the Soviet position on the foreign min isters meeting which broke up in disagreement, and staffs of the British and U. S. Embassies were at work early on translations for transmission to their respective governments.
 Izvestia declared that the seri- ousness of what happened in London cannot be underestimated .
 Izvestia sharply criticized Byrnes and Bevin. Byrnes was accused of hindering a Soviet proposal to ex- tend the sessions day longer and of "categorically refusing to pro- long the work of the ministers council"
 As is well known" the editorial said, "at international conferences one government cannot give orders to another. It is about time this was understood"

MILITARY \. :. CONTROLS
 BASED OFF
All But Two Restrictions in Alaska Are Removed
 by Ii. Gen. Emmons

HEADQUARTERS, Alaskan De- partment, Oct. 5.-A document is- sued by It. Gen. Delos c. Emmons, commanding the Alaskan Depart ment, removed all remaining military restrictions and prohibitions hereto fore imposed on civilians in Alaska by either the Alaska Defense Com mand or the Alaskan Department. Two restrictions imposed by the War Department, however, remain in effect
 Public Proclamation No. II, Head quarters Alaskan Department, ad- dressed ITO the People of Alaska and the Public Generally, renders null and void the following restrictions and prohibitions: 'o' i l. A proclamation directing the evacuation and exclusion of certain peoples of the Japanese ancestry from the Territory.
 ! 2. A directive to Post Comman- ders to maintain surveillance over civilians to prevent them from im- perilling or compromising military security.
 B. The requirement. that citizens or subjects of enemy nations resident in the Territory obtain and carry certificates of Identification. /, 1. The reservation by the De- partment Commander of the author ity to require and enforce dim outs and blackouts when and where deemed necessary.
 5. The imposition, with full force and effect of military regulations, of CAA regulations governing civilian flying.
 6. Restrictions on travel by civil ians in Alaska, with the exception of travel west of Dutch Harbor.
 The restriction of travel west of Dutch Harbor comprises one of the few remaining instances in which a military restriction or prohibition affecting civilians remains in effect. Another restriction has to do with travel of dependents of military per- sonnel in the Territory.
 Pending a modification of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Memorandum on tke subject, civilians, other than those travelling on official govern ment business, or as duly accredit- ed war correspondent, must still ob- tain travel permits for travel in the Aleutians west of Dutch Harbor. Ap- lications for such permits may Ee submitted to the Commanding Gen. eral, Alaskan Department. Travel authorized under these permits must begin within 60 days after issuance and are valid for period not to exceed six months.
 In releasing Public Proclamation No. II, It. General Emmons specifi- cally called attention to the append ed administrative notices, stating:
 l. That the proclamation shall not be construed as modifying any regulations governing the conduct and control of aliens by the attor- ney general and the Department of Justice.
 2. That the proclamation 'does not affect the restrictions on travel within the Territory of Alaska by dependents of Military personnel imposed by pertinent War Depart ment Regulations and instructions. J

Sometimes it has to act fast. When Paris

off the Ritz as the latest addition to the
De Gink chain. So today. instead of housing
Germans, the swank Ritz is De Gink.

MANY of the most comfortable and charm

ATC built from scratch. ATC has put into
these buildings planning and design which
could well make them forerunners of what
