DRAFT HOLIDAY
 TO BE EXTENDED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The Ar my announced today the dratt holi day will be extended through Janu- ary.
 A brief statement said that "al- though there has been an abrupt and continuing reduction in the number of voluntary enlistments since Early October it still is too early to decide whether Army manpower requirements will have to be bolstered by draftees.
 Selective Service inductions have been suspended since mid-October when the War Department notified draft officials they need not sup ply the quota for the last half of the month A November quota of 15,O00 men was cancelled at the same time.
 The Navy has not been using the draft Tor many months, since volunteers have met :ts reGuire- ments.
 The Arny's announcement did not disclose whether the War De- partment planned to ask Congress to extend Selective Service beyond March 31, its present scheduled ex- piration date.

CpA CHIEF
 SMALL HAS
 QUIT JOB

O WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-John D. Small. Civilian Production Admin istrator, has resigned.
 The White House said today that President Truman has accepted Small's resignation, effective at the close of business tomorrow, Dec G.
 The Small resignation follows by a day that of Wilson Wyatt as Housing Administrator. There had been differences between the two over priorities for building mater ials.
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross told newsmen today Small has been trying to resign for some time.
 Since remaining CPA functions, along with those of OPA and other emergency agencies are to be transferred to an overall liquida- tion agency, Ross said the Presi- dent concurred in Small's request to return to private industry.
 Ross said progress toward forma- tion or the liquidations agency was proceeding rapdly.
 In his letter of resignation, Small said he believed that the "in- dustrial transition from war to peace is largely behind us"
 T do not mean to imply that all of our problems have been over come" Small continued. However, once the difficult labor manage ment problems confronting the country are solved-and I am con- fident that they will be solved still higher levels of production will pave the way to an even high CT standard of living for the people"

GOVERNOR TALKS

WICHITA, Kas., Dec. 5-Alaska with an area one-fifth that of the United States and with rich natural resources still only tapped by its 9oOOO population-is ready for Statehood" says the Governor of Alaska
 Stressing the strategic position of Alaska in airways and in national defense, the Governor told dinner club here Wednesday night that Natives on the island of St. Lawrence saw Japanese vessels close enough to take motion pie lures of the Alaska coastline two days before Pearl Harbor.
 The Alcan Highway constructed by Army engineers during World War II has been of great benefit to Alaska, he said, and advocated construction of a parallel highway probably 100 miles inland for safe- ty."
 Virgin forests, fishing and fur reserves only partly exploited, and the 168 minerals found in areas so far explored are among the Ter ritory's vast resources, he said.
 He expressed hope that the new Congress will ask for Statehood for Alaska"

MINE CHIEF
 HITS WITH
 LEGAL BLOW
Contempt Conviction Ap- pedIed-AFL Green
 in Public Appeal

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-John L. Lewis struck new legal blow in his bitter fight against the govern ment today by appealing his con- tempt conviction to higher courts.
 Simultaneously, WEiam Green, President of the American Fedora tion of Labor and long a close Lewis associate in the United Mine Workers before the AFL-CIO split, appealed publicly for the govern ment to sponsor a UNIV operator conference locking toward strike settlement.
 Lewis sent his attorneys to Fed eral Court to:
 l. Appeal to the Circuit Court his own and his unions conviction for contempt for not averting the coal strike.
 9 Make bond for his $l0,000 per- sonal fine and his unions $3 3,500, ,000 tine pending this appeal.
 In his statement. Green inveigh- ed against applying the rule of the jungle while the nation con- tinues to suffer- and called for the substitution of reason, common sense and good judgment" for force, penalties and prosecution
 Declaring labor is confident" that Judge T. Alan Goldsborough's decision and fines for contempt will be reversed. Green said:
 Force, punishment and involun- tary servitude do not square with the principles of justice and democ- Iaey working men must be free. They are determined to re- main free
 Lewis himself did not accompany his lawyers to court.
 Greens statement said:
 "The coal miners of the nation will interpret the heavy penalty imposed upon them and their lead CT as an attempt to wreck thsir union. This will serve to develop a more hostile psychological con dition throughout the mining sec tions of the land.
 The resort to the use of the in- junction against the United Mine Workers and it's leader is a vio- lation of the Norris-La Guardia Act"

LEWIS MAKES APPEAL TO HIGHER COURT
{. J. SMITH GUEST
 SPEAKER TO-DAY,
 S0R0pTIMlST CLUB

The members of the Soroptimists Club, meeting for luncheon this noon in the Baranof Hotels Bubble Room, were given very complete review of the shipping situation by C. J. Smith, President of the Juneau Merchants Association, who was introduced by Mrs. Rod Darnell, program chairman for the day
 Reviewing the efforts of the JMA during the past several months to find some means of alleviating the many problems which confront shippers of all tyes of merchandise, Smith stated the entire future of the Territory and its residents, depends upon obtaining reliable skipping facilities and reasonable freight rates.
 The Briggs Steamship Company, which is putting one 500 ton ship into operation as soon as overhaul ing is completed. will provide a partial answer to the problems con- fronting Juneau residents, he said, while direct buying from eastern markets and shipping over Can adian railroads will materially aid n reducing the cost of living here. Prince Rupert has the finest port facilities on the coast, he said, with the railroad coming direct to the docks, thereby eliminating all in- cidental trucking, handling and
 standby charges which add so greatly to the cost of shipping though Seattle.
 The whole4earted support of Southeast Alaska merchants and consumers of the Briggs Steamship Company or other small operators who prove ahle to give dependable service will go a long way toward stabilizing shipping to Alaska, and will eventually put living costs here on a more equal basis with those in the States, in Smiths opinion.
 After opening the luncheon meet ing with the singing of America and repeating the pledge to the flag, Miss Lee Ellenwood asked for a volunteer to attend a meeting of the Territorial Department of Well fare and Mrs. Scott Murphy offer ed her services as a representative.
 Visitors at the luncheon were Mrs M. N. Van Sandt, Mrs. Alfred zenger, Sr., Mrs Reynolds Young, Mrs. Katherine Nordale and Mrs. w. J. Manthey
 The next meeting will be the clubs Christmas party, it was an ncunced, and members will ex- change small gifts.

MINERS RESENT
 FINES
Indignant Statements Are Made by Union Heads
 on UNIV Sentence

PITTSBURGH, Dec 5-Bitterly indignant AFL- United Mine Work CTS today indicated the Govern ment-levied $3,500,000 fine would do little toward ending their 15- day-old strike that has already idled another 17200O persons and threatens the nation with almost complete economic paralysis.
 Let the Government attorneys dig the damn coal" cried Bill Jones of the Gibson Mine at Bent leyville, Pa, we won't go back until Lewis tells us to, fine or no fine"
 Four Washington County locals in western Pennsylvania reacted to the penalty by sending blank checks to UNIV headquarters in Wash ingtcn with succinct instructions to fill out the amount necessary to pay the fines
 Union leaders across the nation fiercely denounced the fines. Dave Fowler, President of the UNIV Ok lahoma Arkansas district, termed the penalties an attempt to destroy the UNIV and said it invites the thug system and yellow-dog con- tracts again to be placed in the mining camps of the country"
 President William Blizzard of UNIV District IT in West Virginia de- ciared the fine is part of a plot by the Democratic Party to destroy the union" He added the rank and-file miners are behind John L. Lewis one, million .sescsift and they will stay away from the mines until a contract is signed"
 John Trello, President of Lewis old mine local in Springfield, III, declared:

FOOD pRIORITIES
 ARE 10 BE ASKED
 BY DEL. BARTLETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said today he in- tended to ask the government to es- tablish priorities on American rail roads and steamship lines for ship ment of food to Alaska.
 T see that Secretary Byrnes of the State Department has asked the government to set up priorities for of food to Western Ger many" Bartlett said T intend to ask that priorities be established for shipment of food to Alaska.
 There 90Oo0 Americans are fac ing the winter without sufficient food. It seems to me they are entitled to priorities when shipment of their food has been blocked for 90 days by maritime disputes"
