TO SEEK OVERSEAS
 CREDITS FOR MOST
 ALL ALASKA AREAS

Gov Ernest Gruening discloses that he will seek overseas service credit for Alaskans in the Army for all service in Alaska west of the 14lst Meridian. This would leave only Southeast Alaska excluded as an overseas area.
 Previous efforts have resulted in an amendment to the Army dis charge system to grant overseas cre- dits to Alaskan for service in the Pribilofs, Aleutians and Alaska Pen insula west of the 154th meridian. Overseas credits will be allowed in that area upon individual affidav- it's from which adjuster service rating scores will be computed the Governor has been adviced by Edwin Arnold, Director for Terri tories and Insular Possessions, De- pertinent of the Interior.
 Also, Alaskans who worked on the Alcan Highway within Canada are already receiving overseas credit and the Governor feels that men assign ed to similar work in the Territory should be treated on the same basis.

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And. you're on the road to feeling better.

ROOSEYELT MAKES PLAIN STATEMENT
 ON BORROWINGS

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 3. Elliott Roosevelt, in an interview published in the Los Angeles Times today, declared that he has no moral obligation to pay back loans made to him of $20O,000 and $50,O0O be- cause the two men who made them did not choose to accept an offer for their settlement.
 The son of the late president pre- viously said that he borrowed a total of $6OO,OOO and put it into the Texas state radio network which he organized in 1888.
 Regarding the loan of S200,000 from John Hartford, president Of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, and $50,0O0 from David Baird, New York insurance broker. later settled for $4,000 and $500 re- srcctively, Roosevelt told the Times reporter:
 I feel that I am under no moral obligation to pay back the money borrowed because I made both Hartford and Baird a firm offer, through Jesse Jones, to turn over all my net assets, including the stock which they held as collateral in con- nection with these loans.
 They chose not to accept the offer for their own reasons, of which req sons I was not advised.
 Bear in mind that these negotia- tions were carried on by Jesse Jones while I was overseas--in North Af- rica. The stock was returned to me. They knew and I knew at the time that the stock (of the radio network had a zero value.
 This in any business mans language concluded a business deal I made an offer. They declined it and worked out a counter settle ment with MT. Jones. That was early in 1942.'
