My wife won't be able to pay the

ordered to duty as a cOnscript, Ma
tiOnal Guardsman or Reserve officer.
What protection will she have?
If the rent is $50 or less for an
apartment or house which is "occu-
pied chiefly for dwelling purposes by
the wife, children or other depend
ents of a person in military service"
the court can stay eviction pro-
ceedings for not longer than three

No, unless you volunteer your i'm

How much will c0nscripts, Ma
honal Guard enlisted men or their
parents and wives receive if they are
disabled or killed while serving their
year of duty?
The rate of disability or death
paymentsswill be similar to that paid
now in the armed services. These
payments will be approximately rs
per cent of the rate paid for war
duty.
Monthly pensions range from
$3.50 for 10 per cent disability to
SIS for total disability, with higher
rates up to S18750 for certain spe-
ciflc disabilities which might leave
n man completely helpless and in
need of continued care. This higher
rate includes blindness.
4. In event Of death while on duty,
not during wartime, pensions to
widows range from 500 to $50 a
month, depending on her age, with
additional payments made for each
child. In addition to these pay
ments. If parents could show they
were dependent on their son for
support, they would be entitled to
pensions at the rate of SIS to $22
month.
= All service men will be permitted to
buy life insurance and payments on
this insurance will be in addition to
pensions. A new National Service
Life Insurance" is to be set up by
the Veterans Administration to pro-
vide up to $4,000 insurance for each
man in multiples of $780, Premiums
will be computed at the rate of ST
cents each month for $1,000 of in
surance at the age of Is. Benefits
will be paid only in event of death
of the insured. After one year, when
soldiers return to civilian life, the
policies can be converted into ordi-
nary life, Prepayment life, and 30
payment life insurance. The rate
will be far lower than private COM
panies charge.

my Army pay. Will this same pro-
lection apply to me?
Yes. The courts will make the
final decision in the purchase of
real estate as we'll as personal
property.
What will the courts do about my
life insurance payments If l can't
pay the premiums from my service
salary?
Nothing. Congress eliminated from
the sailors and soldiers civil rights
bill of 1918, which was re-enacted,
the section protecting insurance pol
icies. Another bill pending in Con-
gress contemplates such protection,
but 1t has not been enacted at this
writing. The new act provides that
the Veterans Administration, if
asked for aid in paying premiums,
viii give insurance companies a GER
tiflcate guaranteeing payment.
After the man is mustered out of
service he will have one year in
which to catch up with the pay
mentS he missed. If he decides to
discontinue payment on his policies,
the insurance company will be COM
PEELED to transfer the cash surrender
value to the Government. The Vet
Grams Administration would then
make the years premium payments
and return the remainder of the
cash surrender value to the insured
man. The Government would alb
serb any loss.
How about the payment of taxes
while / am In service?
This section also was eliminated
from the 1918 act and therefore no
relief from taxes is provided to men
mustered into service. But the new
bill now before Congress provides
that courts may determine If pay
ments should continue or be de-
ferred until the man leaves the
service.

The Draft and You -
Questions and Answers on Legislation
Providing for SeIective Military Service

Will the courts provide that pro-
lection?
Yes. All Conscripts, National
Guardsmen and Reservists who are
ordered to duty will be assured of
representation in courts during their
absence on duty or possibly post
ponement of cases until they leave
the service. Attorneys filing any
court action must present an affi-
davit certifying that the absent de-
PENDANT is not in military service
before any judgment will be re-
turned against the defendant.
The court may appoint an attor-
ney to represent the absent Defend,
but no attorney appointed under
this act t. protect a person in mill
tary service shall have power to
waive any right of the person for
whom he was appointed or bind him
by his acts"
am buying an automobile on the
installment plan, but If l am or
dered to duty l won't be able to
continue payments from my salary.
Will the car be repossessed?
Repossession will not become auto
matte on failure of a man ordered
to duty as a Conscript. National
Guardsman or Reservist to pay his
installments on an automobile or
any other purchases of personal
property he may have made on the
installment plan. The holder OF the
notes on which payments are due
must apply to court for permits
sion to take back that property UNI
less consent is freely given by the
service man.
The court will decide. after a
hearing in which an attorney has
been appointed by the court to rep

HOLLYWOOD STAR-L1TES
By Chuck Cochard

HOLLYWOOD (EXclusive) = Mrs. Cupid's pride and joy Dan has found it tough going in Holly wood during the past weeks with Hedy Lamar and Gene Markey ending their short-ived marriage in divorce courts. Ditto Lana Turner and Orchestra leader Artie Shaw. Just another blow at successful movieland marriag- es. Wonder who will be next?
 Latest fad in Hollywood is restaurants showing famous films of the sient days. MoNieland's s one and only Ciro's does it on Sunday nights. The theaters give away dishes and the restaurants give away movies.
 Stacks are paSse-if you don't think so ask Paulette Goddard, who has been one to always wear them. Stacks are out" she says. She claims they are not alluring nor feminine and that women should be ultra-feminine in their clothes - and may your Holly wood correspondent speak a mans viewpoint -Paulette God dard is right! Incidentally, it was Marlene Dietrich who started the slack craze some ten years ago.
 'They Drive By Night" is one of the best films preview in months and one with the smart est diaogue of the year. Cast; George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida LupinO, Humphrey Bogart, Gale Page, Alan Hale, Roscoe Karnes and George Tobias. Story: Of two brothers in the trucking business and their adventures in a thrilling story of Americas road rivers. It is still a mystery how this film ever passed the Hays office because the cracks all border on the fresh side. It is a hit film and one you will want to see.

EDITORIAL
SECRET WELL KEPT
(New York Times)

Nomination speeches at the Re publican Convention will be an academic subject when these lines appear in print. Neverthe- less, for purposes of the record and the instruction of posterity, it should be pointed out that the gentleman who nominated Wen dell L. Willkie violated one sac red precedent. He did not keep the delegates on tendrhooks about the identity of his man. At the end of the third short para graph in a speech three news paper paragraphs long Congress man Halleck told the delegates that he wanted 10 place in nom ination Wendell Lewis Willkie. It seems quite appropriate that the nonprofessional Willkie cam paign should have this nonprofes Sional innovation.
 The sponsors for the two other leading candidates stuck to the ancient procedure. For something like half an hour apiece the eX- cited delegates were left to won der who could be the brilliant young foe of organized crime who was born in Owosso, or who could be this solid statesman fifty years old hailing from Ohio, the Mother of Presidents.

His name and exploits are known and mention ed wherever sourdoughs gather.
 SWiftwater's weaknesses were women, gambling and carousing. One of the women was Lady Luck" and she, together with his own eccentric behavior, made him one of the most amusing, amazing and at times tragic per sons in AlaSka's amazing history. Money, he thought, could buy him anything, even love. To SWiftWater, this error in judge ment brought many embarrass- ing incidents to others concern ed it often brought misery and hardship.

SPEED ALEUTIAN SURVEY, FOR DEFENSE
{ Seattle ost-Intelligencer )

oSdtlle SI-lnlelllSencer
 The Coast and Geodetic Survey has requested an additional ap- propriation to speed the survey of waters around the Aleutian Islands. It is a request which should be granted.
 The completion of the survey is important upon two grounds.
 The shortest great circle route from Puget Sound to the Orient runs north of the Aleutian chain. U-e of this route by merchant ships is desirable but imprac- t-cable until the survey is com plated.
 The charting of American wa ters in the North Pacific is also C sential from the standpoint of r. ,ional defense. It is significant that the Navy Department has jC-1ed in the request for the ad- d.ional funds.
 Old Russian charts still cover r ch of our knowledge of Alas k5l waters. It is probable that
