ALA5KA'S DRAFT
QUOTA UppED TO
81 men Per MONTH

Alaska's quota for the September
draft has been increased to 81 men,
John Mccormick, Territorial direc-
tor of Selective Service, announced
,oday. 1t was previously stated that
only Is men would be supplied by
The Territory in the first Gallup.
p Mccormick said 81 men would
also be indicted in October and
November.
.'At this rate of call, it won't be
long until we get down to the 10
and ear-olds." he said. s1l
He estimated that the younger
men would be called before the
three-month induction period is
erded-unless draft regulations are
changed to include veterans. :
All Selective Service boards in
The Territory were instructed today
to notify men in the 25 to 22-year-
old groups now classified Ia to re-
port for pre-induction physical
examination, he stated. -s
He said the 25-year- olds will be
called first, then the 24-year-olds,
and so on down to the 19-year- odds.

exist Certain concerns have been charged with mon
opolstio practices and it remains the courts
decide whether or not they guilty of violations of
the antitrust act.
The Neuberger articles cite The Alaska Steam
ship Company as the principle offender and direct
most of their innuendo and animus toward that con-
Germ. Concerning the monopoly of that company,
which it is charged exercises almost virtual control
over the economy of the Territory Governor Gruen-
ing of Mr. Neubergers vast knowledge of things
Alaskan says his latest report to the Secretary Of
the Interior Two United States and three Canadian
steamship companies Alaska common carriers
In addition several concerns operate contract car
riers in the freight field and special cruise runs
handling passengers The Alaska Steamship Com
pany operates freight and passenger vessels to all
lions of Alaska from Seattle Freight service to the
Alaska Railroad belt and on occasion ports of Prince
william Sound and Kodiak is furnished by Coastwise
Line from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland
The Canadian carriers operating solely to South
eastern Alaska and primarily in the passenger traffic
are the Canadian Pacific British Columbia Coast
Steamships Union Steamship Co. and Canadian Ma
tonal Steamships"
1t would from that official statement that
the basis of the charge of monopoly rests upon the
fact that the Alaska Steamship Company is the only
which operates to all sections of Alaska serv
ing ports which neither it any other company can
serve at profit.
Mr. Neuberger goes to considerable length TO
dlate upon the fact that Alaska has the highest per
capita liquor consumption of any American sovereignty
and that most of It's settlements have more liquor
stores and bars than grocery stores ending his in
/ dctment with the sage statement that domination
Of liquor outlets prove fabulously profitable No
one can question that statement 1t would be as
fabulously profitable it is, in fact, impossible.
Mr.. Neubergers editorial opinions in keeping
with the transformation upon which they are based,
He appears to nothing ncongruous in the fact that
Alaskan settlements teeming with liquor stores and
bars operating in one of the most highly com
pettive fields in the economic life of the Territory
and charge of monopolistic control of retail liquor
outlets That is not the way monopoes operate.
Run openly the personal opinions, conjectures
and surmses of Neuberger Sundborg and Gruenine
the articles would be acceptable. Run as instructive
articles with the sanction of the Oregonian they are

INSTRUCTIVE ARTICLES?

The following under the above caption, is recent
editorial in the Alaska Weekly, and to opinion is
worth reading and here it is:
We have only had the opportunity for reading
two Of what sbeing billed by The oregonian Port
lands Oregon asa series of four instructive articles
on what may be the 4sth state The articles are by
Richard t. Neuberget special writer, the oregon
iana 81 49, 81 a 81 $# d
Such journalists as Harvey Scott founder Of the
Oregonian and the later fine example of journalistic
integrity WHO helped to make the oregonan an out
standing newspaper Edgar Piper, would turn over in
their graves were they that the Oregonian
running instructive" articles the pinkslated edi-
torialzng of this partisan cohort of Governor
ing, with the implied stamp of its approval.
The opening sentence of the first of these in
structive" articles follows: "Aaskas first COM
prehensive antitrust suits may give the vast Terri
tory the North chance to free itself from economic
monopoles, which have been operating since shortly
after the gold rush era" If that is either in
sructive honest reporting shall have to return
to the kindergarten of journalism.
No economic monopolies" have been proved to

No New OPA


Conscientious Stuart Symington,
who as chairman of the National
Security Resources Board now bee
comes virtual car of the civilian
economy, has worked out COM
nonsense scheme for the admin
stration of controls.
At least it sounds like common
sense on paper, though old-timers
have raised eyebrows as to whether
It will really work.
What Symington plans is to
place the administration of con-
rolls in the. hands of present gov
eminent agencies instead of build
.ng up big bureaus For instance,
he would have the Labor Depart
ment handle manpower and labor
problems; the Commerce Depart
ment handle retail prices, ano
oriorities on raw materials; the
interior Department coal, oil, and
electric power.
The Commerce Department, Sy-
nington points out, has $4,000 en-
0loyeeS. Therefore, instead OF
cuilding up new bureaucracies, he
would have the Commerce Depart
nent handle all war controls af-
Getting business.
Experts who handled war con-
rolls in the last war agree that
his is a most laudable idea. How
ever, they point out that out of
the Commerce Departments en-
ployees, 1000 are scattered around
he nations airports with the Civil
AeronauticS Administration; an
other large group is with the Coast
and Geodetic Survey: and others
are scattered around the country
as weather bureau observers. And
you can't do much about prior
ties or price controls when you're
sitting in a lighthouse or sending
up weather balloons.
Another criticism is that war
controls have to be administered
impartially and for the best in
tereSts of all. In contrast, the
Labor Departments chief function
is to champion the cause of labor,
therefore it would be handicapped
IN settling a wartime wage dispute.
Likewise, the Agriculture Depart
ment has always pleaded the cause
OF the farmer, might be prejudiced
when given the job of keeping
prices down.
However, Symington points to
the futility of building up big
bureaus only to disband them if
the Korean crisis tapers off next
winter. So his idea will be given
good trial.
