SPECIALISTS TO BE DRAFTED FOR
 ARMED SERVICES
House Passes Measure by 362 10 = Doctors,
 Dentists Wanted

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-tR-The House today passed 362 to one leg islation permitting a draft of doc tors, dentists and allied specialists" for the Armed services.
 "A similar bill was passed by the Senate yesterday, but there are differences which will have to be adjusted before the legislation goes to President Truman.
 The one opposing vote in the House was cast by Rep. Marcan- tonic (ALP-NY). Rep. Hedrick (D- WVA) voted present"
 The House bill permits draft of doctors up to and including age 50; of dentists through age 45.
 As the measure came from the Armed Services committee it was 45 for both doctors and dentists, but at the last minute an amendment was adopted raising the age for doctors to 50 It was offered by Rep. Saylor (R-Penn).
 If called up they would be liable for 21 months duty. Doctors, den- lists and some of the allied spec ialists would be given commissions.

SALMON FISHING
 CONTINUES SLOW
 IN SECOND WEEK

Analysis by the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service of fishtrap catch reports in Southeast Alaska for the second week of the season show, in general, decline from the first weeks averages.
 While a storm at the close of last week kept many traps from be- ing brailed Friday, many were reached Saturday and some Sun day. The daily average catch per trap indicates a decline in the run even before the storm.
 The canned salmon pack report for the week ending August 26 shows much lower packs than in l949 except along the west coast, where the 1850 pack actually ex- ceeded that of last year for the same period. Comparative totals are 152,587 cases this year, against 142, ,122 in 1949
 AS of August 26, the total south east Alaska pack is slightly more than half that of the comparable l949 period-59O,84 cases against 1,O41 800.
 The pack in other parts of AL aska are more than the comparable 1949 period. Central Alaska shows 1898 ,939 cases against last years 1,258, ,98612; Western Alaska 619,- 182 this year, compared to 588,550 in 1949.
 With the total for Alaska stand- ing at 2,608,97O as of August 26, salmon industry officials consider that a pack of 3,Oo0OO0 cases over- all would be lucky. Three million would be one of the smallest packs in the history of the industry in Alaska.
 With only this week to go, it still would be possible to take up the slack in Southeast Alaska, given the fish, as the canning capacity is 200, 900 cases a day.

The hotel and restaurant employ ees union Local 871 (AFL) has vot- ed 6 to l to strike if demands for pay increases are not met by mid night tomorrow when the present contract expires, it was announced today by Cledamae Cammock, bus .iness agent for the union.
 The union had previously conceal ed demand for 40-hour week.
 The employers countered with a 5O-cent per day increase in some crafts but it was refused by the union membership.
 Under the present contract hotel clerks are now working for $1.19 per hour and are asking for $$1.31; bell boys and elevator operators are get ting 81 cents per hour and asking $1; waitresseS are being paid 93 cents per hour and asking for $l.06; hotel maids get $l an hour and are asking SIPS; cooks are being paid S1.75 per hour and requesting S1.82.

 A two-and-a-half hour meeting of union representatives and em- ployers this afternoon resulted in a deadlock. It was still hoped that something could be worked out be- fore midnight tomorrow to avert the pending strike.
