 Section 3 of the act places all local boards of health outside of and within incorporated towns under the supervision of the Commissioner of Health and makes them responsible to him.
 Thus the law, in effect, makes the school district a health unit, and makes it possible, upon the recommendation of the Commis- sioner of Health. for two or more contiguous school districts and Ior local boards of health to form health district.

 School District Health Units
 The l949 legislature of the Ter ritory of Alaska, recognizing the need for a broader base for the administration of local public health work, passed the enabling legislation which permitted the formation of health districts. Chapter ll8. ACLA l949, stipu- lates that every community or settlement outside of incorporat- ed towns in Alaska shall become health unit, and in every such health unit there shall be board of health composed of the presi- dent of the school board and two citizens selected by the school board" It further stipulates in section l that wherever practic- able one member of the board of health shall be a licensed phy- sician. The above applies also to incorporated cities unless they provide for the establishment and maintenance of health board pr a proper health officer In every health unit having no school board, the Commissioner of Health is empowered to appoint three citizens to act as the board of health.
 Section 2 of the act provides for the formation of health dis tricts. Two or more contiguous health units constituted under the terms of the preceding section and Tor local boards of health for contiguous incorporated towns not constituted a health unit un- der the terms of the preceding section, may be constituted a Health District by the Alaska Board of Health upon the recom- mendation of the Commissioner of Health.

Government Moves
To Control Salaries
OF Movie Colony
Decision Of Wage Board
Patterned on Ceilings
On Baseball Players Pay
By james Y. Newton

The Government moved today
to bring under control the salaries
Iof Hollywood film folk.
A Wage Sterilization Board rul-
ing put the pay of salaried motion
picture artists under merit" pro-
visions of wage controls much like
those recently applied to baseball
players.
This requires employers to fol-
low past practices in giving added
pay for significant advancement
in the talent value of an employe."
In the case of baseball players. the
salary of the highest paid player
on a particular team in the 1850
season was set as the ceiling for
the whole team.
Jobs Affected by Ruling.
The motion picture ruling ap-
plies to such salaried jobs as
actors and actresses, producers,
directors, writer's. composers, mu-
siclans, film editors, wardrobe
designers and camera men.
1t was an Interpretation by staff
members of wage control policy
laid down before the Wage Stabi-
lization Board became imperative
nearly two months ago. That
was when labor members walked
off the board in protest of wage
ceilings, Since that time the
board has been unable to set any
new policy.
1t was indicated in the film
ruling that the Government is
planning separate controls for
many salaried persons like actors
and ballplayers when the Wage
Board is reconstructed.
Meanwhile, William H. Rufnn,
president of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, said in a.
statement that labor's refusal toI
on the Wage Board is
an "inexcusable fllibuster against
the national welfare"
Labor Group Denounced.
The Government has been un-
able to win agreement from labor
and management on a basis for
setting up new board which
would set wage policy and handle
labor disputes.
Mr.. Rufin denounced the
United Labor Policy Committee
which withdrew it's representatives
from the Wage Board and other
defense agencies. The committee
represents the AFL, CIO and
some railroad unions.

Draft Expansion
bill Is Ready
For Conference
House Measure Cuts
Age to 1917, Calls
For 26 Months Service
BY George Beveridoe

/
House and Senate proponents of
draft expansion and universal
military training proposals today
headed for a conference to iron
out sharp differences in the con-
ItroVerslal manpoWer program.
Rolling over opposition, the
House yesterday approved it's ver-
sion by a walloping 372-44 vote.
Containing Watered-doWn UNIT
proposal, which would require pas
sage of another law before any
youths could be inducted for train
ing under such a program, the
House bill also would:
l. Reduce the compulsory in
Iduction age from 10 to 1872.
2. Increase length of draft serv-
ice from 81 to 26 months.
18 Age in Senate Bill.
BuL-matching a provision in
the Senate bill-the House virtu-
ally assured that no men below
the age of 19 will be inducted
soon. by requiring draft boards
to exhaust manpower pools above
the age of 10 before they can send
induction orders to any one
younger. The Senate bill would
cut the draft age to 18.
With the exception of this
limitation and the Debated UNIT
provision, the House approved the
measure in almost the same form
it was approved by the House
Armed Service Committee and
carried to the floor by Chairman
Vinson, Democrat, of Georgia.
Before the final vote, however.
administration leaders had to beat
back strong Republican drives to
Impose a strength ceiling on size
Iof the armed forces, forbid the
use of draftees in Europe without
congressional authorization and
increase the length of draft serv-
ices only to "a months, instead
of 26.
The troops Europe move,
ise,f posed by Representative Towe.
s1g publican, of New Jersey, was
defeated by only five votes, 158-
1853. In an earlier test vote a
similar amendment had been
beaten by much wider margin,
Segregation Clause Out.
The House also reafirmed an
other earlier test vote by knocking
IA segregation provision from the
bill. The provision would have
permitted draftees to say whether
they wanted to serve in units
segregating white and Negro sol.
diers, and have forced the Army
to abide as far as possible by the
preferences. The vote was 13o-123.
Bitterly as this civil rights issue
was fought, however, the major
battle ragged around the drive of
Democratic leaders for a UNIT
program. 1t is the UNIT issue of
the House measure, too, which will
cause the most trouble in the
House-Senate conference.
The Senate version authorizes
a presidentially appointed commits
sion to draw up a UNIT program.
and states that it shall go in effect
at such time as the President or
Congress declare that youths no
longer need be drafted for actual
service.
The diluted House provision au-
thorizes a commission to draw I'D
a plan and submit it to Congress.
but provides that Congress and the
President must approve the pro-
gram before it can go in effect.
