Draft Aqe Above 29

A War Department statement to-
day said the Army has not recon-
mended to President Truman, as re-
ported yesterday, that the top draft
age be boosted from % to 81 years
when induction calls are resumed in
September
Instead, it said, future calls from
the Army will specify that the ranks
be filled, if possible, by men within
the 10 to 29 age bracket. Should
these calls fail to produce the num-
Der required, it may be necessary to
consider" calling men through 35
years of age, the department said
The official statement said:
In any future calls on selective
service for personnel, the War De-
partment will specify that the call
be filled, insofar as possible, by men
within the l9 to % age bracket. If
in the future 1t is found that there
are insufficient personnel within this
age bracket to satisfy manpower re-
quirements, it may be necessary to
consider the induction of men
through age 35.
The War Department has not
recommended to the President that
the top draft age be raised from %
to IS years"

She will not need them again.
Into Heavens mansion she has entered.

After long years with life's struggles
Sister has fallen asleep
For after she'd scattered her sunshine
And life's work here was through

NV AlRLlNES TO APPLY FOR NEW
 SERVICE ROUTE

ST PAUL, Minn, Oct 22.-Di- rect air service from the northwest states to three of the nations greatest cities, Cleveland, Pitts burgh and Washington, D. C., will plication for such service begin before the Civil Aeronautics Board be sought by Northwest Airlines to- morrow when hearings on it's ap- in Washington.
 Northwests application calls for extension of it's route from Detroit, on the company's present trans continental system, to the nations capital, via Cleveland and Pitts burgh.
 E. L Whyatt, executive vice pres ident, will head a group of airline representatives who will go to Washington for the hearings.
 Whyatt revealed Saturday his company will disclose results of ex- haustive studies underscoring the need for the additional route into the three cities.
 The important agricultural and industrial area between Milwaukee and Spokane. Wash.," he said, is the only large area in the entire country which does not already en- joy carrier air service to Wash ington. Northwest now serves the capital cities of Wisconsin, Minne- sota, North Dakota and Montana These cities deserve the fastest kind of communication with the nations capital"
 Whyatt said Northwest Airlines will offer nonstop service, as well as local service, between the Twin Cities and the industrial centers of Cleveland and Pittsburgh if the CAB acts favoorably on it's appli- cation.
 Citing the strong business bond between the northwest and Cleve- lana ana PlttSDurgh, Whyott said the northwest represents one of the most important markets in the na- tion for farm machinery and parts, automotive equipment, electrical supplies and kindred products man. ufactured in these cities.
 The route would offer Seattle Tacoma, Portland and Spokane, in Northwest's western region, their first direct air link with Pittsburgh, oining two of the great industrial regions of the country. It also would provde a substantial reduc- tion in air route distances from these cities to Washington.

SAILORS UNION MAKES PROTEST 10
 SHIPPING PLANS
0rqanizdton Does Not Gel Real Import of JMA
 Aims to Do

A protest from the Sailors Union of the Pacific relative to evident misinterpretation of the Juneau Merchants Associations proposal for new transportation routes from East and Midwest United States through Canada to Alaska has been received here.
 In a wire addressed to c. J Smith, President of the JMA, Ed Coester, Agent for the Sailors Un- ion in Seattle, stated the unions position and understanding of the proposal as follows
 T note with interest your at tempt to by pass American Labor and attempt to use coolie and for eign merchandise delivered to AL aska by nonunion labor. Just for your information our membership were in large degree responsible for the supplies being delivered to our armed forces and our allies We lost over four thousand Seamen through enemy action during the war, a larger per ratio than any arm of the armed forces. Now you are attempting to disregard these same men. Be informed that we are opposed to your attempted venture and wish to know what organiza- tion is favorable to your project Wire collect these organizations you allude to in your Associated Press release"
 In commenting on the wire re- ceived, Smith stated that it had never been the intentions of the Juneau Merchants Association to in any way discriminate against labor in their just rights to make a living, but that one of the ob- jcctiyes of the organization had been to make possible a source of supply of necessities of every day living to citizens Of this commun- ity on a regular basis; and try to relieve them from being at the mercy of unsatisfactory arrange ments for getting food stuffs, clothing and fuel to Alaska"
 Further, Smith said it was his understanding that all labor that would handle any merchandise rout- cd through Canada, woud be union labor. He felt that the accusation made hy Coester was one of the many false accusations being made during the present unsettled times, intended only to confuse the issues all the more.
 Smith sent the following wire to Coester:
 Referring your telegram date. All merchandise purchased in mid west and east will be made by exactly the same union labor as all other high quality American pro- ducts. Shipments will be handled under union regulations from source to destination. Any shipper has privilege of preferential routing either in United States or Alaska
