* eau system for commercial avia-1
tion in Alaska. Delegate Bartlett
testified before the Senate Appro
priations Committee asking res
toration of funds in the Commerce
Department appropriation bill for
£ 1947.
The House made drastic cuts
in funds in the bill for weather j
bureau stations in the aviation
service in the United States, in
eluding $658,881 to aid 25 sta
tions in Alaska. The money re
quested would have continued
weather stations previously oper
ated by the army such as Cordova
Skagw’ay, Kokrines and Nulato.
Senator McCarran, chairman of
the subcommittee holding the
hearings, was sympathetic with
the Alaska situation and stated
that although it might be the in
creasing responsibility of commer
cial aviation companies to furn
ish their own weather facilities

Non-Fathers in
Age Group 20 to 29
To Be Inducted
John L. McCormick, Territorial
Director of Selective Service, an
nounced today that since the in
duction of 18 and 19 year old reg
istrants is now prohibited by law,
the number of non-fathers avail
able in the 20 through 25 age
group is bery small, it might be
necessary to process for induction
non-fathers in the age group 26
through 29 in orde>- to meet the
call placed on Alaska Boards.
Mr. McCormick further states
that all employers who are now
employing registrants between the
ages of 20 and 29 inclusively,
should submit deferment requests
to the registrants’ local boards
if they think deferment should be
granted. This process is neces
sary in order that local boards
will have current information. De
ferment requests are not necess
ary for registrants with one or
more children (the term children
shall include legitimate or illeg
itimate children from the date
of their conception, children leg
ally adopted, stepchildren, foster
children.)
Mr. McCormick also advises all
registrants in the above age group
to immediately get in touch with
stations through funds furnished
by the government.
It is not yet known what final
action will be taken by the Sen
ate committee on the item as the
bill has not yet been reported to
the Senate.

their local draft boards giving
