INCREASE AIK MAIL
TO 500 POUNDS DAILY
To keep pace with the
growing demand for air
mail to and from Anchor
age, the mail contract on
the Fail banks-Anchoragc
Kodiak route has been in
% creased to a total of eight
tons moving each week
with daily service, it. was
announced by Earl March,
supervisor of railway mail
service.
Planes carry the mail be
tween Anchorage and Fair
m banks daily except Sun
day. Four trips are made
each week between Aehor
age and Kodiak.
Mr. March predicted fur
ther increases in the air
mail service as the de
mands continue to grow.
When the air mail was
inaugurated, Star Air Lin
es was awarded a contract
for 500 pounds to be mov
ed twice weekly between
Fairbanks and Kodiak..
This totalled one ton of
mail moved each week.
The original contract
proved insufficient as it
was impossible to get the
air mail into that allot
ment. The contract was in
creased to 750 pounds each
a trip and later extra trips
were scheduled.
Under the present setup j
Star planes carry 5 0 0
pounds of mail to and from
Fairbanks daily except
Sunday.

ARMY LIBERALIZES
FURLOUGH GRANTS
Leaves Up to 15 Days Wd!
he Given After Induction
Let Men Windup Affairs
REQUESTS REQUIRE )
Washington (AP) —EE n
expecting to be inducted
into the Army can now
pect furloughs soon afE r
being sworn in. to w:n;i up
their personal affairs.
Under u new policy d -
cribcd as ‘greatlyliberid
ed’ furloughs up to fifteen
days will be granted on re
quest. to begin not later
than five days after induc
tion.
Requests for such leave
should be made in advance
to local draft boards.
Under the new proced
ure men accepted for mili
tary service will be sworn
in immediately upon their
induction at reception cen
ters, with the result that
they will not be eligible
during their furlough to
enlist in the Navy or Ma
, rine Corps.
The War Department ad
vised that the high rate of
p h y s i c a 1 rejections bv
Army examiners made it
undesirable for every se -
ectee to assume that his
order for induction would
mean immediate military
service.
In the event of any
doubt, a man receiving in
duction orders should not
release his position or
wind up his affairs, but1
should file a furlough re-1
quest with his draft board, j

* Foreign Language Newspapers
—
What action, if any, should be taken in regard to J
curbing the foreign-language press in the United States,
poses an interesting and not unimportant problem for
the Federal government.
There is no question that ample authority for con
trolling foreign-language publications exists. Such
4 authority is provided by the old Trading With the En
emy Act and also by recent war power legislation.
Nor is the question one involving freedom of the
press. To place restrictions upon foreign-language pub
lications is not to interfere with the right to publish,
but merely to regulate a mechanical feature of pub
lishing.
The War and Justice Departments are reported to
be in disagreement on the type of control to impose.
The War Department is believed to favor the suspen
sion of all publications in German, Italian and Japan
ese, and the licensing of all others. The Justice Depart- j
• ment appears to endorse a licensing system designed |
to suppress only the undesirable foreign-language pub-:
lication.
The problem is no small one. There are 1,6000 for
eign-language publications in the United States. These
include 220 in German, 150 Italian, and 25 Japanese.
In addition, there are 213 Yiddish, 159 Spanish, and 91
Polish. Some form of control is imperative. Which
system would be more valuable is extremely difficult
to determine.

JAPANESE AIR PICTURE Of PE \EL HARBOR ATTACK
This picture, sent by radio from Moscow to New York, is described as having been made from a Japanese
plane during the December 7 attack on Pearl Harbor. A column of white water, evidently from an explosion
rises near a long row' of large warships on the far side of Ford Island, which lies across center of picture. A
tiny image of a plane (circle), described as a bomber, s ails above the island. Four other warships lie close to
Ford Island at left center. These were described by th e Japanese as (left to right): two United States cruis
ers, one of which is smoking; then the USS Utah, desc ribed as lying on her side: then a “special aircraft car
rier" smoking from a hit claimed by the Japanese. Sm ailed ships in narrow channel to left of island are de
scribed as U. S. destroyeds. Mountains show in back ground. Japs claimed “rows of American planes" were
vsible on foreground of island. Picture passeo by Rus sian and United States censors.
