Appeal Issued
For Accuracy In
Questionnaires
Ar urg >nt a pm* a! to men in
this area to aid the war effort
hv using more ear n filling out
their oecunat oral que tionnafres
was is- a d by R. E. Barnes, Act
ing D'ree'or f r Alaska, of the
United States Employment S t
V ce.
"Effective mobilization of our
J manpower for war time industry
I and agriculture must be accom
plished if wo are to win the
war," Mr. Barnes declared. "For
j this purpose it is essential that
tiie occupational inventory b>
completed speedily and accurate
ly."
Is "Vital Inventory
“Preliminary reports indicate
that many of the questionnaires
coming into draft boards and *
United States Employment offic
I es are faulty or incomplete," he
added. “This occupational invent ;
, ory is a vital part of the Nation’s
war program, and it is of the
| greatest mportance that regis
1 trants fill out their questionnair
es clearly, fully and accurately.”
i Barnes urges all registrants
w'ho have any difficulty in filling
out the questionnaire to go to
their employer for help. Help in j
filling cut the questionnaire is i
also available at any office of
the United States Employment
Service, local draft board office,
and many veterans’ posts and
labor unions. ,
Serious Matter
According to employment of
fice reports, incorrect or incom-1
olete questionnaires are running
as high as 25 per cent of the
total number submitted. "This is :
a very serious matter," Mr. Barn
es pointed out, “since it is nec-1
essarv to call in the registrant
for an interview in such cases in |
order to correct the errors or
supply the missing information.
This means not only inconven
I ience to the person called in.
but increases the expense and
the time required for perform
ance of this occupational invent
ory."
Complete Tabulation
Questionnaires have been or
; are sent to all men who register -
i with the Selective Service Sys
tem. so that eventually the gov- :
, eminent will have a complete
inventory of all its manpower be
tween the ages of 13 and 64. ;
ATTENTION !
Tlie Selective Servive System
announces that the fifth registra
tion, which was to be held on
July 10th. is iuxstponed until
further notice.

Distilling Industry
Is Aiding Govt.
To Be inn Verepnt in Federal :
Production By Fall
Col. Wiehe States
"This distilling industry thru
i t the United States is doing a
| great deal for the offensive pro- (
gram of the country in the pro-j
| tiK'Fon of alcohol, one of the
1 most essential war materials.” de
; dared Col. Theodore C. Wiehe,
if the Schenley Distillers Cor
poration, who arrived in Juneau
: recently from h s headquarters
in New York City on his third
trip to Alaska.
"At present the industry is1
j about a t percent in production ■
i for the government and we be- j
i iieve that by September or Oc- j
tobor it will be 100 percent in j
government production of alco- j
hoi for offense work.” Col. W ehe
| said.
Distillers are now manufuc'ur
mg ‘high w nes’ wh ch are con
verted into alcohol for the us? of
the government and by Septem
ber or October it is believed that
distilleries will be converted so
that alcohol can be manufactur
ed in them, lie said. Because of
this conversion and turning over |
100 per cent of the production to
the government, the manufactur
ing or whiskey or gin in the Unit j
ed States will be temporarily end
ed. Col. Wiehe stated.
“In the United States there are
at present stocks of whiskey on I
hand to last five years and the
Schenley Corporation has the
largest stock of any distillers in
the world.” he said. “There will,
however definitely be a shortage
of gin.”
The industry is also cooperat
ing with the government to see
that licensees abide by the law
in all respects and is doing a
great deal in this way toward
keeping the handling of liquor 1
free from all possible criticism,
according to Col. Wiehe.
Not Apprehensive
Those connected with the dis
tilling industry are not a/pprehen |
sive about a renewal of the pro
hibition move as the memory of
the terrible abuses of tiie prohib
ition era still linger in the minds |
of most adults of the country, |
Col. Wiehe said. In connection !
with this, a close watch was kept j
in Hawaii during the period from !
December 7 1941. until February
24, 1942 during which time the i
Territory of Hawaii was dry un- \
der martial law and statistics!
showed that there was a vast in
crease in arrests from drunken
ness and illegal actions connect
ed with liquor abuse during that |
time in comparison to normal !
times, he said.
Taxes Important
From the tax standpoint the i
distilling industry is most import
ant and, in effect, the distilling
companies act as tax collectors j
for the government, according to j
Col. Wiehe.
Col. Wiehe is President of
Schenley International Corpora
| tion, President of Schenley Im
I port Corporation and Vice-Presi
' dent of Schenley Distillers Cor
poration. He was met in Juneau
i by J. W. Gucker, Alaska repre
j sentative for the firm and from
i Juneau they plan to cover as
j much of the Territory as time
and transportation will permit.
