DRAFT SET-UP COMPLETE
LIST OF LOCAL BOARDS
ANNOUNCED BY GOVERNOR
Formal organization of the Sol
ective Service System for the
Territory of Alaska is announced
by Gov. Ernest Gruening, who
accompanied the list of Local
Boards with this statement:
"The Selective Training & Ser
vice of 1940 provides a thorough
ly just, orderly and democratic
method of determining the place
where each registrant mav best
serve the Nation. Some will be
qualified to serve in the armed
forces. Mary more will be needed
in their present occupations or
will have persons dependent up
on them for support which will
make their deferment necessary.
“The classification and selec
tion of those who have registered
under the Act will be done by 24
Local Boards throughout the
Territory’. Each board will con
sist of from three to five repre
sentative citizens from various
walks of life who are familiar
with conditions within the local
ity where they will serve. These
men have been appointed by the
President, upon the recommenda
tion of the Governor.
Appeal Agent
“In addition to the Board mem
bers. there will be a government
Appeal Agent appointed for each
board area. The Appeal Agent
has no authority to change the
, classification of a registrant, but
can examine the records and ap
peal any case in which the in
terests of the individual or the
government have not, in his
judgement, been protected.
"The Local Boards will not
only classify those who have re
gistered but will conduct such fu
ture registrations as may be re
quired. The registration boards
organized for the original regis
tration of January 22, 1941, will
no longer function.
Appeal Board
The regulations promulgated
■by the President also provides for
an Appeal Board for the Terri
tory of Alaska. This Board will
consist of five members who will
sit in a capacity similar to that
of a Court of Appeal. The Ap
peal Board will have no original
jurisdiction but will review those
cases properly certified for appeal.
The regulations state in part that
“The registrant, any person who
claims to be a dependent of the
registrant, a government Appeal
Agent, the Director of Selective
Service, or the State Director of
Selective Service may appeal to
the Board of Appeal from any
I»cal Board classification, except
that no appeal may be made by
or on behalf of a registrant clas<
fied in Class II or Class III who
claims a lower classification.’
"In exceptional cases a further
appeal may he made to the Presi
dent. Thus it is evident that
ample precautions have been tak
«n to insure the fair and impar
tial classification of all regis
trants.
To Shuffle Cards
“Territorial Director of Select
ive Service John McCormick is
distributing to the 24 Local
Boards the registration cards as
signed to them. As soon as they
are received the Board will shuf
fle the cards in a haphazard man
ner. They will then number them
consecutively from one until all
cards are numbered. These num
bers are known as serial num
bers and are only for the pur
pose of conducting the Territorial
lottery which will determine the
order number of the registrant.
The order numbers indicate the
order of liability for service of
each registrant within his Local
Board. It is expected that the
Territorial lottery will be held
sometime in July.
"I am sure." said Gov. Gruel
ing. “that the local boards will
function in a highly satisfactory
, manner. When the armed forces
call for men to be inducted for
training. Alaska will, as she has
in the past, be ready and willing
to do her part in furnishing men
for the defense of the Nation."
The Appeal Board for the Terri
•tory consist of B. D. Stewart,
I.-idor Goldstein, Donald W;. Hag
' erty, and Rev. William G. LeVas
seur and Michael Haas.
The following have be.;n ap
pointed as members of the Nome
draft board: C. C. Tanner, An
thony Polet, J. Sidney Rood,
Oliver S. Weaver, Aimer Rvdeen.
Clarifies Tax
Convevntion Of
U. S. and Canada
TACOMA—Commissioner of In
temal Revenue Guy T. Helvering
explained the effect of the release
of the United States from the ob
ligations of the reciprocal Tax
Convention between the United
States and Canada, notice of
which was recently announced
by State Department.
Under the Convention, which
became effective January 1, 1936.
the higher rates of income tax
■ otherwise applicable under the
laws of the United States to in
terest, dividends, rents, royalties
and similar income derived from
United States sources by non
resident aliens were reduced to
5 percent in the case of individ
ual reident of Canada. Likewise,
the higher rates applicable to div
dends so derived by non-resi
dent foreign corporation were re
duced to 5 percent in the case of
Canadian corporations. The Con
vention ,by its terms, was to con
tinue so long as neither country
increased the rates of tax on such
income in excess of 5 percent.
Effective April 30, 1941, Can
ada raised to 15 percent its rates
of income tax upon income deriv
ed from Canadian sources by
non-residents of Canada, includ
ing United States citizens and
United States corporations. The
budget message to the Canadian
Parliament explained that this
action by Canada would release
the United States from its obliga
tions under the Convention.
Mr. Helvering pointed out that
as a result of this action, the in
come described in the foregoing,
derived by Canadian residents
and by Canadian corporations, is
subject to withholding at the rat
cs applicable generally to non
resident aliens and to non-resi
dent foreign corporations, name
ly, 16*2 percent.
There are in course of prepara
tion Treasury decisions amend
ing existing Federal income tax
regulations in this regard, includ
ing notification to withholding
agents of the necessity of apply
ing to Canadians and Canadian
corporations the rates of with
holding applicable generally to
1 non-resident aliens and foreign
corporations.

| New Airway Setup
Groups U.S. And
Canadian Facilities
WASHINGTON. June — Begin
ning June 1. the airways of the
- United States and Canada, long
i the closest of coPaborators. will
appear on a new map entitled.
, "Civil Airways of the United
States and Canada."
This mutual agreement to con
sider grouping the 4.165 miles of
j the Canadian system with the
! 36,375 miles of the U. S. stvstem
| has been made passible by the
| re-de- ignation and re-numbering
of airways on both sides of the
border. Thus the Canadian trans
continental route is Airway No.
1 of the new set-up. and our
transcontinentals, reading from
north to south, are Nos. 2. 3. 4.
; 5 and 6. Canada also adopted our
1 method of designating airways by
colors as a part of the basic svs
t m cf airway traffic control.
As soon as possible after July 1.
all civil airways of the country
will be placed within the control
of Airways Traffic Control cen
ters. This will mean the establish
ment of nine more traffic centers,
at Boston, Jacksonville, Memphis
San Antonio, Kansas City. Albu
querque. Denver, Minneapolis
and either Butte or Great Falls.
These centers, added to the 14
already in operation, will bring
the whole system under a unified
control.
Main transcontinental routes
are designated green airways and
main north and south airways are
amber. Secondary transcontinent
al routes are red and secondary
north and south are blue. For
control of traffic under conditions
, of instrument flying, the green
airway traffic has right of way,
or priority. Amber airway traffic
gives way to green, red traffic
gives way to amber and green,
and blue gives way to all others.
East bound traffic flies at odd
thousand foot levels, westbound
at even; northbound at odd, and
southbound at even.
Priority means that when a
pilot flying an amber airways de
sires to cross a green airway, for
example, he ascends 500 feet
from his required altitude in
making the crossing. Since the
piolt on the green airway main
tains his altitude steadily, they
are thus separated by 500 feet
in altitude. Airways are 20 miles
wide, and pilots must cross at
an angle of not less than 45 de
grees.
Many minor changes have been
made in the airway system co
incident with the inclusion of the
Canadian system. These are ne
cessitated periodically by the re
alignment of the courses laid
down by radio ranges, installa
tion of additional radio facilities,
changing conditions along the air
ways such as increased military!
flying, bombing or gunnery in a i
given area, aind permission by the !
CAA for instrument flying over'
new sections of existing routes.
All these changes effective June
1 are included in the CAA’s May
22d issue of 'Weekly Notices to j
Airmen.”
They include the addition of
airway routes in small sections to
the extent of 1800 miles, and an
increase of 1400 miles of airway
placed within the areas controll
ed by the existing airway traffic
control centers. No major chang
es have been made.
Military traffic along the air
way recently has increased con
siderably. The monthly summary
of airway traffic control opera
tions indicates that 98.155 clear
ances were issued to airline and
itinerant pilots, and 62,681 issued
to Army, Navy and Coast Guard
pilots during the month of April.
These figures do not include the
great number of civilian and mili
tary pilots who use the airways
and do not file flight plans or get
clearances. CAA officials antici
pate a very large increase in mili
tary use of the airways within
the next year.
BOYS IN LONDON
PLAY WITH BOMB
T ONDON, June—Unaware that
they had an unexploded bomb a?
i plaything, three London school
boys were rolling it about the
sidewalk when discovered by an
air raid warden, who called a
bomb disposal squad to remove
it.
The boys found the bomb while
searching for wood or. a bombed
site. "We though it was just a
piece of shrapnel” they said.
