ARMY TO CALL UP 70.000
DRAFT IN DURING NOVEMBER
WASHINGTON, (JP)—The army
yesterday asked for a draft of
70,000 men during November.
This raised the total draft call
to date to 170,000, all for the
army. In earlier calls the army
asked for 50,000 men in September
and 50.000 in October.
The defense department said
yesterday the navy and the air
force do not plan to ask for draf
tees in November. Both services
have been building up their man
power with volunteers and by the
recall of reserves.
The draft now is limited to sin
gle men, aged 19 through 25.
Draft board are calling the
older men first.
But with a goal of 3,000,000 men
under arms by next June, there
is every sign that the draft. will
soon be broadened.
Only last week, chairman Vin
son (D.-Ga.) of the House armed
services committee said that in
January his group will consider
raising the draft age to 35.

Control Orders To j
Start Flowing Soon
• ^
WASHINGTON, {/^ — Govern
ment agencies today awaited a sig
nal from the White House to put
into effect plans for using—on a
limited scale—the strong home
front economy control powers
provided by Congress.
The agencies indicated they
will start issuing a flow of con
trol orders after President Tru
man signs the legislation, due
early next week*
The first steps they expect to
take are to:
(1) Tighten up on installment
buying terms, (2) Give priorities
for scarce, essential materials to
holders of military contracts, and
(3) Limit inventories of basic ma-!
terials to prevent hoarding and j
assure wider distribution of sup
plies.

HOUR AND A HALF
FAIRBANKS, </P) — The moose
hunting season was over in a hur
ry for a Fairbanks nimrod Friday.
One hour and a half from the
time John Stahler and his wife
started down the Chena River in
a 30-foot boat he had bagged his
one moost limit and had been
charged by a second animal.
Stahler said he and his wife
stopped along the river bank to
make some coffee. About three
minutes after they climbed out of
the boat two bull moose appeared
on the opposite bank.
Stahler climbed into the boat,
crossed the river and shot one of
the moose. The second animal, in
stead of running away charged
the boat. When he was within 10
feot of the craft Stahler fired one
shot over the animal’s head.
The animal stopped, reared and
crashed away into the forest.

CHARLEY JONES REPORTS
ON MAYORS' MEETING
Charles Jones returned frorry^
Anchorage where he attended a
meeting of the mayors of the
towns in Alaska, representing
Mayor Andersen who could not
attend.
Mr. Jones stated that the organ
ization is planned to form a group
similar to those in 38 States for
well organized and planned pro
grams for presentation to the le|l*
islature and is known in the States
as the League of Municipalities.
Twenty-nine resolutions were
adopted, he reported, some of
which are appropriate to Nome at
this time and all the others ap
plicable as Nome grows and meets
up with other problems now con*
fronting the* larger towns in the
Territory.
Of immediate importance he
felt that the clarification of sales
tax and a basic valuation of as
sessment and appraisal of proper
ty to be most valuable to Nome as
well as a general building code
for the Territory.
In the discussion of communi
cations Mr. Jones raised the ques
tion of why 98 % of Alaskan roads
are owned by the Federal Govern
t
ment and why the same percent
age was not applied in getting
funds to develop the roads in this *
part of the Territory.
A full report of the meeting
will be given at the next meeting
of the City Council.
