Men noW in the Army who re-
enlist before February 1 will
be reenlisted in their present
grade. Men honorabIy dis
charged can reenlist within 20
days after discharge in the
grade they held at the time Of
discharge, provided they re-
enlist before February 1, 1916.
There's a long list of attractive
reenlistment privileges in the
new Armed Forces Voluntary
Recruitment Act of l945. The
ability to keep your present
grade is only one of them, but
this privilege expires on
January 81.
There are plenty of other
reasons why many thousands
of men have enlisted, and more
thousands are enlisting every
day. You'll certainly want to
know all of the opportunities
open to you. If you'll read
them carefully, you'll know
why job in the new peace

regarded today as THE Best

I0'CONNER SAYS RATE
 INCREASE NOT JUSTIFIED

JUNEAU - There has been no data so far offered by the carriers. the VISA or the OPA on the basis of which. up to this time, any sub Istantial change in rates can be jus tified," was a statement made by Donald O'Conner. OPA Price EXecu- tive for Territories and Possessions at the current Washington hearings on the Alaska freight rate issue.
 From April 1948 until March 1946. when he was promoted to Regional Price Executive of all the Territories, O'Conner was Alaska Price Executive in charge of all price matters in the Territory It was while in this position that he instigated the Alaska OPA's eXtcn- sive program to combat the threat Of a drastic increase in shipping rates to the territory. MT. 0'Conner and his staff, including MT. George Rogers who has since been named to succeed O'Conner as Alaska Price Executive. worked together in pre- pairing the 21 exhibits of statistics and economic anaylses which he, as Regional Price Executive has so forcefully presented at the hearings.
 Some of the exhibits dealt with such pertinent factors as: estimated 1916 freight traffic figures as suh- mitted by Alaska businessmen at OPA's request; civilian and military population changes; postwar needs of the territory for building mater ials: relation of present freight costs to the final acquisition costs of representative goods; comparison of current Seattle and Alaska retail prices; and analyses of shipping companies balance sheets and profit and loss statements to point out fal- lacies in the premises upon which they based their claims for higher rates
 In summarizing OPA's presenta- ton at the hearings, Mr O'Conuer stated in part, We take the posi- ton that the present rates to Alas ka are already too high in compar- ison with those in effect on some what comparable routes, that some of them are higher than what the traffic should bear. The OPA also takes the position that the central and strategic consideration of this hearing should not be rates but a realistic consideration of the post war traffic conditions of Alaska traffic, the number and types of vessels needed to satisfy Alaska traffic. and costs projected from a I945 or 1946 base, so far as pos sible."
