INQUIRY INTO DRAFTEES’ REJECTION
The House Armed Services sub-committee, headed
by Representative Carl Vinson, of Georgia, is seeking
to find out the reasons for rejections of Selective Serv
ice draftees up to sixty per cent of prospective induc
tees. It also wants to look into the granting of defer
ments to inductees without similar treatment to reserv
ists and National Guardsmen.
The Committee is wondering whether the Army has
set its mental and physical standards higher than neces
sary. It is pointed out that there are many men who, un-!
able to meet present literary and other standards, might I
make good in spots similar to those which they held in i
civilian life. This includes truck-drivers, cooks and !
others. We might add, it includes general labor. I
The slowness of physicians, dentists, allied practi-:
tioners and technicians to volunteer has caused medical
reservists, who served two years and longer, to be re-;
called to active duty. The Committee seems to think
that the special draft law, recently enacted, might com
pel those who received their professional training at
government expense during World War II, without per
forming any service for the government, to give their
time before older men, with dependents and previous
service, are called to the colors.

REVOLUTION TO CREATE A NEW WORLD ORDER
(By R. C. Mowat) '
Lecturer in History at Royal Naval College, Greenwich j
The armed forces of all nations are concerned with;
defense. I want to raise one question—against what are!
we defending ourselves? It is important and necessary j
for the defense forces of our nations to be strengthened l
in every possible way, and it is important that Moral j
Re-Armament should contribute to strengthening these j
forces. But what is it that we and defending ourselves
against?
It is really materialism, and the decadence and bar- j
barism and destruction which come in the wake of ma-:
terialism. We sometimes think we are living at the peak1
of one of the most civilized ages the world has seen,;
but in reality barbarism, decadence and destruction are
already here. We are really living in a world which is
falling into ruins. It is in this setting that we see the
significance of Moral Re-Armament.

dollars. Now what we need is or
ganizing—to advertise Alaska's
attractions and stimualte invest
ment in hotels and resorts.
Every community in Alaska is
invited to send businessman rep
resentatives to a pair of charter
meetings which will be held early
in November to launch the new
Alaska tourist association. Those
attending need not be directly in
volved in the transportation, tour
ist or hotel business. In fact, it
will be -better if they are just
plain businessmen in other fields,
as one of the purposes of the pro
posed organization will be to em
phasize to all businessmen their
great stake in building up a tour
ist industry.
The first meeting will be held
at Juneau Saturday, November 4,
and will convene at 10:00 a.m.,
Monday, November 6. Delegates
from the Juneau meeting will at
tend that at Anchorage to assure
a unified approach to the big
problem and the big opportunity
of developing a large tourist busi
ness in Alaska.
At the meetings a name will be
selected for the new association, a
plan of organization adopted and
temporary officers selected.
The Alaska Development Board
recently started the ball rolling
by bringing George T. Armitage,
formerly executive secretary of
the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, to
Alaska to speak in virtually every
community on how Hawaii did it
and to advise Alaskans on what
can be accomplished here through
proper organization. Now the ball
is to be passed to an independent
group of Alaska businessmen to
really bring a hard-hitting asso
ciation into being.
Please see that your community
is represented at one or the other
of the November meetings. Suc
cess in this endeavor will mean
greater phosperity for Alaska and
better business for you.
Anchorage Build
ing Skyscrapers
ANCHORAGE, (TP) — Alaska’s
largest city is insuring its posi
tion as Gotham of the Northland
with big city skyscrapers.
Apartment construction has be
come a nine million dollar busi
ness that is changing the skyline
daily.
Working feverishly to get joos
“closed-in” before cold weather
sets in the projects will eventual
ly provide 1275 living units.
They range from housing de
velopments of three-story build
ings laid out in orderly suburbs
to 14-story skyscrapers that tower
over the former tent town estab
lished in 1920.
Tenants are already living in
the 68-unit Tumagain Arms
apartment building, first of the
ten housing projects to be com
pleted under the federal housing
administration program.
Others, like the 14-story Coffey
House similar 1200 L Street Build
ing are only slim steel towers ris
ing into the sky. When completed
they will rank with the largest
buildings constructed in the west
during post-w’ar years.
The Great Rift Valley extends
from northern Syria almost to the
southern tip of Africa, enclosing
the Red Sea and the lakes of East
Africa among other bodies of wa
ter.
