New Policy on Recall
OF Reserves 10 Take
Weeks in Execution

Reservists slated for recall to
active duty within the next sew
eral weeks apparently will not
benefit from the Defense Depart
ment's new policy of advance
warning on recalls, it was indi-
Gated today.
Military officials said 1t prob
ably will take several weeks for
the armed services to whip ma
chinery into shape to comply
with Defense Secretary Marshalls
sweeping new policy on reserves.
The policy requires each service
to estimate manpower needs six
months in advance in order to
guarantee reservist four months
notice that he will be called up.
Since Gen. Marshall also ordered
that the reservist must be given
a full month in which to settle
personal affairs after he actually
is ordered to report, it appeared
the reservist in effect will get five
months warning.
Two Other Provisions.
Until the machinery is set up,
officials said, it was expected that
some reservists would be called on
one months notice. and that those
already called would go into uni
form on schedule.
There were two other impor-
tant provisions in Gen. Marshalls
directive.
One ordered each service to
comb its reserve lists and weed
out those who are not likely to be
available for immediate duty. The
other called for the release of
reservists and national guards
men called involuntarily after
they have been thoroughly trained
and when they can be replaced
by volunteers or draftees.
The directive, it was felt, antici-
pated at least some criticism of the
reserve program which is expected
to come in few days from Chair
man Vinson Of the House Armed
Services Committee. The criticism
will come in a committee report.
now in preparation.
Skeele Praises Policy.
Meanwhile, the new program
was praised by Col. Charles w.
Skeele, president of the Reserve
Officers Association, which had
called for a clear-cut system of
recalls.
1--WE believe that the implica-
ton that there will be a rotation
OF reservists from active duty to
civilian life as soon as there are
enough volunteers or Selective
Service people to replace them is
excellent" he declared.
In another development, the
Army announced it will offer
WAC reserve commissions to 240
women. Applicants must have no
dependents under 18 years of age,
be college graduates and be be-
tween the ages of 81 and 27. The
appointments will be m d e
through next June 30.

 This is only a small sawmill, but at this time is one of the few saw mills operating in Southeastern Alaska.
 Owen Swenson, owner of the mill, said he was swamped with orders which will keep the mill busy for the next three or four months. He has a crew of three men and will hire two more as soon as the weather permits. He plans an addition and operative Improvements this spring.
 "We intend to put out planed lumber such as shiplap, 2x4's, 2x6's and other types before summer, ' Swenson said. ''The capacity is small but the future looks good to me because of the backlog of or ders," he declared.

TOBACCO TAX SHARE

At a recent meeting of School Superintendents a plan for the division of the Tobacco Tax was proposed and unanimously approv- ed. This plan has been presented to the Territorial Board of Edu- cation for their approval. A divi- sion in accordance with this plan will yearly give Wrangell approxi- mately $13,0O0. in funds that can be used for school buildings only. As the division is based on school enrolment and professional work CTS in each school the amount re- ceived by any school may vary somewhat from year to year.
 As a school increases or decreases in enrolment so will the tax re- turn increase or deacrease. This return will adequately care for the retirement of $150,0O0 in , percent bonds. To retire the bonds over a period of twenty years will actually cost an average of $9,200 per year.
 Recent word from the General Service Administration indicates that the cost of Wrangelrs School addition, the necessary equipment, architectural services, and admin stration fees will total the full $30O,0O0 of the applica O n. George Fabricius, Supt. of Schools said It may even be necessary to include alternates in the speci- fications when bids are requested. This statement alone should be the answer to why a swimming pool was not included in the plans.
 All statements pro and con can not alter the fact that the deci- sion was based srictly on Wran- gelPs ability to pay. Wrangell, as is very other Alaskan com- munity, is being hard pressed to secure the needed school facilities and certainly our needs and ability to pay should be firt considera- tion."

The yellow paper" was the sub ject of gossip in political circles this week as Republican candidates for Commissioner of Labor squared away in the primary fight for COP nomination. Mimeographed on yell low paper. it contained some viz orOus charges against incumbent Labor Commissioner Henry Benson and was being circulated throug l the mails urging Republicans to vote for Ray Beach, Benson's op- ponent for the nomination. Beach formerly worked in Benson's office and the explosive charges in the yellow paper" indicated they had come to a definite parting of the ways. There was some speculation that the repercussions were yibrat- ing COP high command levels, in dicating that all was not as cozy as it might appear with the packers of the elephant. Benson is secretary of the COP organization in the territory which has been dominat- ed by Albert White of Juneau sirce the famed Republican split in 1886.
 Territorial, Board of Public Well fare met in Juneau this week to figure out it's program for the re- mainder of the biennium to the end of March, 1851 on a limited budget. Best news the board heard was that the income tax had been upheld, meaning there might be some money flowing into the treas ury so that territorial funds would be available for federal matching It's No. 1 headache, otherwise, was how it would handle the overall welfare problem in Alaska if the Alaska Native Service decided
 pull out of the picture. ANS gets fancy piece of money from Con- gress for carrying on welfare work among the native people. If it was all lOSoEu Ou bhC tSiAAtOAJ 1S "OoAN mean "Where's the money coming from?" and the board has been scratching it's collective head.
 Best bet that ANS will continue to budget for money and then per haps make a contractual deal witt the territory to supervise the work Statehood, of course, might change the situation. Until October, wheI it holds it's next meeting, the board figured it could get along. Boart consists of the governor, Fathel Edgar Gallant of Skagway, Firs Division; Mrs. Frances Longeley o Nome.

Council to Hire Expert
 For City Water Study

Two major issues were taken ap and decisions reached in a special session of the city council Tuesday evening.
 Called primarily for the purpose of doing something about the sad condition of Wrangells water sys- tenn, the council also heard Super intendent of Schools George Fabri- cius give a report and show the plans for the new school building.
 After a two-hour meeting. the net result of the evenings work was
 l-The council gave Superin- dent Fabricius vote of confidence and turned the whole matter of the new school addition over to him to follow through.
 2-Voted to bring in a consult. ing engineer to go over the entire water system so the city will not have to go through another winter such as this one has been.
 Fabricius, who recently made a special trip to Juneau and who was instrumental and having the Wran- gell project retrieved from the files and showed ahead on the Commu- nity Facilities Act agenda, showed the plans of the new building and explained ill detail the program.
 He called attention to the 2 per cent administrative fee which the act calls for but which was not known before. He expressed regret that the city had not been told of this extra expense before. PAYMENTS $9,20O YEARLY
 A bond issue to furnish the city's $l50,00O share can be retired over a 2O-year period with payments averaging $9,200 yearly, according to government officials. The ci.y will receive from the territory as its share of the tobacco tax about $13,OO0 yearly.
 The council approved the plans and paid tribute to Fabricius for he years of groundwork he has done on the school project.
 Councilman George Smith, giving cognizance to the fact that Fabri- cius has been working under handicap because of some "unwar- ranted heckling," declared he, for one. was behind the superintendent and believed Fabricius should have the solid support of the community in his efforts to get the new school built and maintain Wrangell's high standards in the education field. The council concurred.
 The council two months ago au- thorized Fabricius to make the trip to Juneau, guaranteeing his eX- penses, and again at this weeks meeting authorized him to make "any and all trips necessary" to expedite the school building pro- gram.
 WATER IS HOT SUBJECT
 The council then went into a lengthy discussion of Wrangell's water troubles. Councilman George Smith declared that as long as most of Front Street was dug up at present, the city should replace
