War Risk Insurance Claims
Must Be Filed Before July

special attention to one of these in
which circuit judge ruled that
'gainful occupation is not complete
proof that a man is net perman-
emily and totally disabled"
Opinion Cited
In a letter to the editor OF Arizona
Republic, Mr.. Russell, says:
Decisions handed down recently
by Judges in federal courts at st.
Louis, Mo-, and San Diego, Calf,
should be of interest and value to
veterans contemplating suit against
the government on war-risk insur-
ance claims.
THE opinions are as follows,
"St. Louis Although working for
salary a man may be considered
totally and permanently disabled,
William S. Kenyon, circuit judge of
the United States court Of appeals,
Eighth district, ruled.
"The decision was handed down
in the case of William Fl. Phillips,
father and administrator in the es-
tate of Harry G. Philips, World
war veteran, against the govern
ment. The judge held that the mere
fact a man works is not conclusive
proof he is not totally and perman-
emily disabled.
Judge Kenyon upheld the judg-
ment of the district court at Kan
sas City in which Mr.. Phillips was
allowed $4,O82.50 back compensation
and $3.50 a month until the $10,-
600 policy is retired. Harry Phillips
died March 6, 1923.
u. S. Contention Denied
"This judgment holds the gov
ernment contention that persons en-
gagged in gainful occupation can
not be totally and permanently dis
abled to be in error The govern
ment has contested many suits p
on that basis.
San Diego-Adolph j. Kobs, q =
abled veteran, was awarded $743.75
back insurance, and $3.50 month

king through national advertising
 was held by Chamber of Commerce members as being the best method of stimulating a demand for fish that should take it's rightful place as a delicacy. The cost of na- tional advertising campaign being too high for local men to undertake it was felt that the next best thing was to ask the Alaska Chamber of Commerce to do what it could to further the project.
 Senator Benjamin feels it would help greatly in time if every busi- ness man in southeastern Alaska would advertise on his envelopes and letterheads a slogan something like this: ''The great white king rarest and best of salmon, from the cold waters of the North"
 Wrangell fish buyers paid out about S50,0O0 for salmon bought here during April and May. The market has been extremely low, 13 cents per pound being paid for large red kings, cents for small reds, and cents for white kings during the first three weeks in April. During the last week in April the average price paid was 12-S-6 cents. The prevailing mar ket for May was 1O-6-4 cents, with 138,000 pounds sold during the last week of May at 9-7-3.
 While it is not possible to secure definite figures fish buyers say that white kings amounted to some what more than fourth of the fish bought. Had the white kings sold at the price of the red kings a con estimate shows that Wran- gell fishermen would have received several thousand dollars more for their work Wrangell is just one of several buying stations in south eastern Alaska. The fishermen of each section would have benefited in the same proportion.
 In view of all these facts, Wran- gell Chamber of Commerce men feel that they are sponsoring a worth while project for all of southeastern Alaska in trying to establish in the public mind the merit and true value of the white king salmon.
