No Compromise Arab-Jewish War As Deadline Ends

UNDATED INTERNATIONAL By the Associated Press-The Ar alb League was reported author itatively to have rejected in eff feet a cease fire order for Pales- tine. The deadline expired 6 am. Nome time.
 Leaders of the seven Arab states warning on Israel were reported drafting a note in Amman, Trans Jordan to the JUN. saying they would cease fire only if Jewish immigration is suspended, the Jewish army dissolved and Arab areas such as Haifa and Tiberias returned to the Arabs. An Arab informant at the League session said there could be no compromise on a Jewish state.
 The Jews insisted that the tWo- day extension of the JUN. cease fire deadline was obtained by the Arabs to afford Arabs additional time for an Arab offensive, par ticularly in Jerusalem. Israel re- considered it's original acceptance of the cease fire because of the extension.
 Fighting went on in Jerusalem and on other fronts in Palestine.
 The Holy City was reported by Jews to have been bombed for the first time in its history. Haganah said high flying planes dropped high explosives. Further details were lacking.
 An NEG report from within the battered city said 500 Haga- nah endorsements were seen moving into Jerusalem to meet the expected assault.

SHOULD PROVE -F ALASKA HAS COAL RESERVES

WASHINGTON, - (P A bur- eau of mines official has warned House subcommittee it is inn perative that attempts be made to prove whether Alaska has ann pie reserves of coal ito meet any contingency that may arise"
 pr. James Boyd, director of the Bureau of Mines, in testimony made public today, told the sub committee considering the inter- for department appropriations bill for the year starting July l that sufficient reserves to meet such a situation have not been located.
 He said that full scale military program there would multiply the normal consumption of coal while normal peace time requirements will exhaust presently proved re- serves in few years.
 He said the Wishbone Hill area appears to have substantial re- serves and the Bureau plans to investigate that in the coming year.
 development of a large reserve of suitable railroad fuel is essen tial to continued operation of the Alaska Railroad, particularly in times of National emergency when fuel supplies from the United States may be cut off, and coal from the Wishbone Hill area could be used to supply the rail- road and the entire southern AL aska railroad area" Boyd said.
 "In the fiscal year 1949, core drilling will begin in a large de- posit of bituminous coal in the Wishbone Hill area, southwest of Jonesville in the Matanuska val ley"
 He said examination of areas ar ound Homer also will be under taken during the year.

Republican Group Gets Ready For
 Mckinley Meet'g

JUNEAU, - (P) Attorney Ralph E. Robertson, one of three National Republican Convention delegates chosen at the so-called "Rump Session" at Sitka, says he intends to go to the June 5 con- vention at Mount Mckinley Park.
 It has been lebeled the "Territor- ial Republican Convention" At the time it was called, its spon- sors called it a frank and file" party session.
 Robertson said the Mckinley convention may select three dele gates to the Philadelphia conven- ton also.
 Robertson insists the Sitka meet ing was not a "Rump" cOnven- ton.
 He said the group which walked out of the so-called White con- vention" at Sitka and held their own separate meeting actually constituted a majority.
 It is understood here that dele gates also will be named from Ketchikan for the Mckinley con- vention, to attend in person or by proxies. Robertson intends to go to Philadelphia to put up a fight for recognition of his dele gation.

A.TA. Reports On Activities of Year

In recent report made by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, 1t was stated that the Associations Decentralization Movement, start ed a year ago, has had splendid results. Specifically, in all AL askan towns of any size, groups have been formed to sponsor the annual Christman seal sale.

 This organization. which is a part of the US.

tioRal deferment request was urn cd down you still rated deferment teeauss of that dependent.
 That might happen, but if you just stayed cn being mad and did nothing about it you'd be foolish as well as mad, Because there's a spe- cial regulation on that knd of thing, entitled Appeal to Appeal Beard, and you saould know about it.
 The taing you shouldn't forget alout appealing is that you have cnly 10 days in which to do it, af- ter your local board mails you your classification You should act fast.
 There are some exceptions to that 10 day rule. If you are reg lstered somewhere in the United States but, on the date ot your clas- sification notice was mailed to you, ycu were located in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands, you have 30 days in which to ap- peal. It works the other way toe. If you are registered in Alaska, for instance, but were in the United States when your nctice was mailed.
 Or if you are located in Canada, Cuba, Mexico or the Canal Zone when your classification notice is mailed out you also have 30 days to appeal.
 Ii, on the day your classification notice is dropped in the mail, you are aI{7wlere else f(outside the places above) you have 60 days to appeal.
 There's one other exception to the 10-day rule. If your local aoard is convinced that you didn't under
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-10-27

stand you could appeal or didn't know about the 10 day rule, or if 1t decides that through circumstance es beyond your control you could net appeal within the l0-day limit, then it can hear your appeal at any t.me.
 You're not the only person who can appeal from your classification. Any person who claims to te your dependant can appeal in your be- hall GOT lis, for that natter, be- cause they would suffer if you got drafted,
 90 can any person2 who files Q written request for your occupa- tional deferment before ycu are classified. That, of course, would be your employer.
 Thus, 1T your employer asks for your ocoupational deferment and il is turned down he can appeal within ten days
 Notody can appeal against de i termination of the registrant's phys ical or mental condition If you ire put in IA, take your physical exam and are okayed, you can't go to your local board and say, But : I've got bad back" It won't do you any good.
 There is a good deal more to say about appeals. For instance, every board has, a government appeal agent" who could figure promi- nsntly in your draft plans.
