Technical students also are being encouraged to stay in school to prepare f.hemselvefl for filling technical positions in t He reportedfhat some students have enlisted and have been drafted and said that two former students who joined the air force, already have lost their lives in the war. PAA Officlal Speaks Mr. Sundell, an old friend of Maj. Gen. “Jimmy" Doolittle, American war ace who led the raid on Tokyo, told members of the Chamber that this was his first trip to Alaska. He said he was impressed by the lack of transportation in the Territory, es- pecially to points in the Interior. As an example, he cited the case of Nome, reporting that when he was there two weeks ago, not one com- mercial ship had arrived there since the first of the year. He reported food shortages acute in Nome and said that the only, meat | available is reindeer. Shortages of butter and milk also exist, he re- ported. Mr. Sundell said that the future for Alaskan = transportation looks bright, however, and assured his audience that the setting up of new methods of transportation will in no way affect the old established means. He predicted that the new transportation would increase the use of other means and cited the | example of the highway to Mexico City as an example. This road doubled the business of that branch of PAA, he stated. Extend Salmon Seasons Mr. Crouch reported that he was in Alaska to see to it that the Ter- ritory produces as much salmon as possible to fill the need for canned goods in the war effort, and to ex- tend s the seasons whenever such extensions would not bé harmfyl to vital conservation efforts. This is Mr. Crouch’s ninth trip to the Territory in as many years. Other guests incipded Ray Ren- shaw, flying Wildlife Agent of the Alaska Game Commission, and “Judge” Edward F. Medley, Seattle attorney. Lu Liston was welcomed back. (. OF (. PASSES RESOLUTION ON RAVEL RULES Members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today adopted the fol- lowing resolution which will be sent to Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner of the Alaska Defense Command, and to Gen. John L. DeWitt, of the Western Defense Command, pre- senting suggestions for the improve- ment of the Civilian Traffic Control office: “WHEREAS, the United States Army, Alaska Defense Command, has set up a Travel Control Board for the purpose of regulating travel of all ¢ivilians between Alaska and points in the United States and Canada with a permit system which is now in force under regulations preséribed by the Alaskd Defénse | Command, and, e war effort. | |ardson, and to General J.

That somé system be devised | for obtaining more quickly the prop- | er identification of persons who are | entitled to travel to Alaska, and where_identification can be readily established at the point of departure, that no further delay be prescribed thereafter. “3. That in all cafes where theré is doubt régarding identification, and the right of the applicant to | téavel to Alaska, the officials of the | Travel Control Board in Seattle be permitted to issue travel permit upon receiving the necessary proof of tdentification by telegram through the Travel Control officials, or Mili- | tary Police of the Alaska Defense | Command in Alaska, who should be authorized and empowered to make all necessary investigations at the home of the applicant. 4, That in all cases where resi- dents of Alaska are required to leave the ‘Territory for business or other reagons, intending to return home within a reasonable time ,and their {déntification has béen properly es- tablished to the satisfaction of the | Aluska Defense Command, that rodnd trip permits be issued in | Alaska at the point of departure, so that there will be no necessity of! obtaining a separate permit to return.” 'DINNER TONIGHT T0 HONOR MR. KRISTAN Jack Kristan, who operates the Alaskan Hotel here, is entertain- ing this evening at a dinner party in the Baranof Hotel honoring hig gon, Marvin Kristan, who will leave soon to entér his junior year at the University of California at Los Angeles.

This staff will consist entirely of Alaskan personnel due to the fact that price problems in the Terri- tory are entirely different from those existing in other parts of the country, they said.

Covers Territories Region Nine of OPA covers all Territories of the United States and following their work in Alaska, Mr. Harper and Mr. Nelson will conduct similar work in other Ter- ritories. ‘This is the first Terri- tory in which the program of cost accounting and inspection service has been put into effect, accordin’ to Mr. Harper. Both Mr. Harper and Mr. Nelson have been with the OPA organza- tion since shortly after it was started, Mr. Harper having Jmnedi the staff last September and M.| Nelson, in December of last year.
