First Test Of Sentiment
On Draft Due
In Senate tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

An initial test of Senate sentiment
toward extending the draft law be-
yond May is is due tomorrow.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee meets then to pass on bill
to transfer veterans job rights func-
tions from selective service to the
United States Employment Service.
The measure could have a power
full influence on draft extension leg
islation because its enactment would
remove any argument that selective
service must be continued If only
to safeguard the rights of returned
servicemen, to their preWar jobs.
johnson Urges Action.
With the Draft Act due to expire
In little more than two months, the
Senate committee is expected to be-
gin charting definite course in the
next 10 days.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, a committee member, has
been urging his colleagues to take
action promptly one way or another.
"If we're going to extend it, we
ought to say so, and if we're not, we
ought to say SO, too" he told p re-
porter.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia said that in his judgment
the present temper of members is
not to extend the draft at all.
Limitation Proposed.
Certainly any extension should
be very limited-not more than six
months he said.
Across the Capitol, meanwhile, it
appeared that single vote in the
House Military Affairs Committee
might go long way toward decid-
ing the fate of universal military
training legislation.
Both supporters and opponents
claimed majority of one vote on
the basis of private surveys among
the 27 committee members.
COP Claims Margin.
While House Republican Leader
Martin declined to predict the fate
Of his proposal to sidetrack training
legislation in favor of drive for an
international ban against it, COM
mittee members supporting his
plan claimed a potential margin of
one vote.
They say the are counting on at
least 10, and perhaps II, of the IL
Republican committee members,
and on three Democrats With oil
members present, majority is IA.
Administration supporters said
they had surveyed the prospects and
were confident of two Republican
and at least IL Democratic votes for
a universal training bill.
Republicans have indicated they
will move to approve the Martin
resolution after further hearings
this week. If they succeed, there is
little likelihood of House action on
universal training legislation itself.

VOTING pRECINCT5 up FOR CHANCES
 IN COUNCIL MEET

After rather violent session two weeks ago, Juneau's Common Councilmen expect to delve into rather quieter doings tomorrow eve ming when they take their places at the Council table for the second regular February meeting.
 It is anticipated that fireworks connected with the public utilities issue will be held in reserve for dsplay at the rate hearing called on the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's rates for February 25. Perhaps the top issue forecast by Mayor Ernest Parsons for this Fri days Council confab will have to do with the revision of voting pre- cinct boundaries in preparation for the City and Territorial elections coming up in April. Under con- sideration are slight alterations in present precinct limits in order more equably to distribute the vot- ing day load among the three vot- ing districts and relieve some of the over- burden of Precinct No. One officials. A carried Council mo- tion is all that's necessary to re- wise precinct boundaries.
 In other action, the Council is expected to declare it's pleasure on the Juneau Womans Club pro- gram for a recreational center. The Councilmen are to be asked to approve application to the Federal Works Agency for an advance plan ming loan to prepare drawings for a recreation building. Further dis cussion of ways and means to meet Juneau's present housing emergency is also on tap for tomorrow night.
 In line with election discussion, Mayor Parsons today pointed out that the time is now for registra- tion to vote in the coming City election. Qualified as electors are U. s. Citizens, 21 years or older, who have resided in Alaska one year, Juneau six months and their precinct 30 days. Any qualified elector not voting in the last City election is required to register to vote this year. Registration dead line is Saturday, March 30, at noon. Registrations are now being ac- cepted at the City Clerks office. Also, any voter changing precincts since the last election should noti- fy the City Clerk of his new ad- dress. Juneau's City election date this year is April 2, the first Tues day of the month.
