PARIS-German rearguards are failing back through fog, snow and near zero cold toward the Ourthe ri~-f line. along the roads which might have led them to Antwerp and the sea, but to the south an other enemy force Is hitting wltn increased armor near StrasbOurg.
 Himmler, Gestapo chief and Ger man home army commander, is per haps directing the attack on both sides Of the Alsatian capital. where French troops are apparently sur rounded and must be supplied by air.

WORK OR FIGHT
 LAW IS URGED

WASHINGTON - Drastic man power proposals, edging closer to the work or fight" act which law makers long have avoided will be thrown into the battle on the home front.
 It was advanced by James H. Byrnes in a program to force Az men into war roles and to put sta- tutory teeth in manpower rules If present labor control fails to spur the nations armament.
 Byrnes in his first report as di- rector of the Office of War Mobi- lizatiOn ReconVersion, declares that from peace to war still merely con- sists of threats in some instances.
 Congress, he declares, has reluc- tance to interfere with a mans freedom to choose his job.
 War agency officials prophesled that Byrnes' whip-cracking docu- ment will add momentum to the home front effort merely by dis closing the sternness of enforce ment measures the administration IS willing to support.
 Flatly predicting larger draft calls in the next few months and an aggraVating manpower shortage, Byrnes proposed stern measures for 4-F's not doing essential work.
 He proposed congress make 1t possible to induct them all then assign them things they can do" despite their physical impairment. This might mean limited service in the army or the steering of induc- tees into jobs in critical war plants.

As direct result of the reverses on the western front, we won't be seeing much concentration of Se- lective Service boards in Alaska for a while. Previous plan had been to consolidate some of the boards, but need for more men in the armed
 services, as well as in essential in- dustries, has changed that. There will be a recombing of all regis trants in the Territory up to 37. Those in the up to 29 bracket have a good chance of seeing military service. Over that they are going to get on war jobs or start carry ing a rifle. If the demand proves great enough, married men are going to get less consideration. Heretofore. Alaska has called few

On the surface. 17th Legislature appears 10 be made up of members inclined more toward progressive legislation than any Coy. Gruening has had to deal with since he be- came chief executive. Indications are there will be less of the knock down drag-out fights between tie legislators and the Executive, such as has marked the last two sessions, and more constructive thinking for the general good of the Territory. This is largely due to the fact that the anti's were largely defeated in the last elections, coupled with a change in thought brought about by time, revealing that some of the governors ideas of few years ago weren't so bad after all. It is an in teresting fact that representatives or the mining and fishing Hobbies have more recently made public ut terances that the territory would have gained had some of the chief executives ideas been put into force. Fish and mine lobbies fought the income tax bitterly; were largely responsible for defeating t. Now they state that had the in- come tax gone into effect four years ago when first proposed, the Ter ritory would now have a nice nest egg to use toward post war deyel- opment. During the war years ter rfaorial income tax would have brought in revenue from the thOu- sands of workers who were brought to Alaska by war time contracts. Now those workers and contractors are mostly gone; and with them the income the Territory might have had from boom wages. Now an income tax comes home to roost on the door steps of permanent Al askans. and revenue from it cant hope to be what it was in the last few years. Meanwhile, to raise revenue, the fishing and mining in dustries can see the lawmakers looking in their direction.
 Maybe that is what Dean E. N Patty of the miners group had il mind recently when in introducing the governor at a meeting of the Alaska committee of the Seattle chamber of commerce, he said:
 Most of us have come to the conclusion that the governors taA program was sound, that the Al aska structure is a patchwork and that something ought to be done ahont it :"

While some sort of a post war program promises to be No. l on the lawmakers list of "musts" for the session, other legislation up for consideration probably will include a Territorial income tax; de- partment of health bill; labor leg islation, covering particularly child labor and working hours; a bill to cover fishermen on small boats un- der five-ton for disqualification. Rough drafts of some of the pro- posed legislation already are being circulated.
