I Terr. SS Director
Has No Comment
On Closing Draft
JUNEAU—John L. McCormick,
Territorial director of selective
service, had no comment to make
recently on statements made by
S e n a t ors indicating that the
“peacetime draft act probably
will be allowed to die next June
25.”
McCormick said that no infor
mation had been received here
on the matter.
The selective service director
and assistant Perry Hobbs return
ed from a two-week trip to visit
local draft boards in Anchorage,
Nome and Fairbanks. Official
closing of the Kodiak draft board
was effected in line with the econ
omy policy. All registrants in the
Kodiak area will be handled '
through Local Board No. 1 at An
chorage.
U. S. Borrowing To;
Meet Expenses '
WASHINGTON, I/P)—The gov-;
ernment .which last week began
borrowing to meet its expenses,
may be the chief gainer from the
newest “easy credit” move by the
federal reserve board. i
The board Friday ordered a cut
in reserve requirements—the pro
portion of deposits that banks may
not lend—in order to make an ex
tra $1,800,000,000 available for
loan or investment this month.
It was the third time this year
the board has thus increased the
supply of loan funds available,
besides taking such other business
bracing steps as removal of con
sumer credit restrictions, and
making it easier to buy stocks on j
credit.
The government is just getting1
started at borrowing to make up I
the gap between its income and !
outgo—a gap that is expected to !
run to $3,000,000,000 or more in
the current fiscal year and al- I
ready has put the government
over $1,500,000,000 in the red.

point. It will mean the loss of at
least a year and a half in military
construction which should have
been completed by now. Even if
completed it would give Alaska
far less in the way of defenses
than we ought to have for the na
tion’s safety.
"Postponement is moreover the
height of wastefulness. It will
mean all work will have to be
stopped, construction crews ship
ped back to the States and recruit
ed all over again if and when
Congress decides to act—probably
not until June. 1950, if then.
“There has been complaint in
Congress over the high cost of
Alaska construction. Here is pre
cisely the reason.
"Military construction urgently
demanded by the army, navy and
air force was interrupted when
the 80th Congress failed to make
the necessary appropriations. It
apparently is happening again in
the 81st Congress.
"Those responsible for this ac
tion are incurring great risk and i
tragic responsibility. If there is
another Pearl Harbor—and this
time it will be an even more seri

Deputy sheriff Cliff Tolson and
Russell Wall attempted to enter
the house but were greeted by a
barrage of beer bottles, iron bars,
bricks and various kitchn uten
sils.
Five tear gas shells fired into
the house had no effect.
Finally after a sharp scuffle the
deputies managed to remove the
woman’s body.
Five carloads of officers arrived
at this time and Davis -barricaded
himself within the house.
A short time later, he offered to
come out only if Dr. Chris Rey
nolds, a Tacoma physician, was
called. Dr. Reynolds arrived about
1:15 a.m., and within a few min
