New Draft Order Provides
For Induction Into Army
Of Men with Dependents
WASHINGTON, June 25 <.TV
Draft headquarters announced to
night, that generally speaking,
married men with children will
be the last called into service,
but emphas zed that they could
count on no permanent defer
ment. Enuncia'ing a policy fol
lowed under the bill signed yes
terday giving financial assist
ance to dependents of men in the
armed forces, Selective Service
officials added they wished to
make it emphatic that the new
regulations do not prov'de for
permanent deferment for men
with dependents, but rather pro
' vides an order in which regis
trants with dependants will be
inducted.
It appeared that in some cases
married men might still be call
ed ahead of others if such action
is necessary to fill draft calls on
time, possibly in cases where the
draft board, already on the point
of sending married men up for
induction, and cannot substitute
single men quickly, married men
may have to serve.

Be 49th State |

gested Alaska have two voting
senators and two voting repre- i
sentatives in Congress instead of
one delegate with no vote. The
Senator quoted the late General
"Billy" Mitchell as once saying
that the country which had Al
aska rules the world.
U. S. Army Air Force
Deals Second Blow To
Supply Base at Bengasi
CAIRO, June 25 UP) — Power
ful Axis^-tank forces thrust more j
than 60 miles into Egypt, forc
ing the British to fall back un
der covering fire, but U. S. Army
fliers dealt the enemy a punish
ing blow in a second raid on the
big supply base at Bengasi, 350
miles to the rear. British Army
headquarters announced that the
British 8th army abandoned the
frontier strongholds of Salum
and Sadi Omar to Rommel’s ad
vance foroes. Southeast of Sidi!
Barani, British mobile units are
fighting a fierce rear guard ac
tion. |
The RAF disclosed that Ger- j
man and Italian heavy strength
was moving across all day yes
terday to south of Bir Sheferzen,
15 miles south of Sidi Omar,
about 40 miles from the Medit
erranean. The enemy then swung
northeastward being kept under
continual damaging attack by I
bombers and fighters of the RAF
and South African Air Force.
Consumer Credit
Reg. Not Apply |
To Alaska
i
Nome Nugget, Nome —
JUNEAU, June 2fi — Will
you please give as wide pub
licity as possible to the fact
that the regulation of the Fed
eral Reserve Board on con
sumer credit, to the effect that
all bills must be paid within
forty days from the end of
the month in which purchas
es were made, does not apply
in Alaska.
Many inquiries from all
parts of Alaska as w'ell as
advertisements carried in
many local papers indicates
the belief on the part of the
public generally that this reg
ulation applies in Alaska. Our
information from Washington
definitely states that it applies
only to continental United
States and specifically exclud
es Alaska, the Panama Canal
Zone and other territorial and j
insular possessions.
