U. ). TO AID
DEPENDENTS
OF VICTIMS
Allotment Made for Bene-
fit Payments 10 Survivors
Of Enemy Casualties

Hugh j. Wade, Director of the
Alaska office of the Social Secur-
ity Board, has been notified CT
the allotment of $750,000 to the
Social Security Board for temper
airy monthly benefit payments TO
dependents of American civilians
affected by enemy action outside
Continental United States, he said
today
The allotment was made by Paul
v. McNutt, Administrator of the
Federal Security Agency, out OF
funds designated by the President
to provide temporary aid necessi-
tated by enemy action resulting in
the death, total disability, deten-
ton by the enemy, or disappear
ance of American civilians outside
the continental United States, other
than enemy aliens and other than
the dependents of persons in mill
tary establishments of the Federal
Government.
The Social Security Board was
named to administer the $750,00O
fund, Mr.. Wade said, because its
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance already has in operation
local field officers throughout the
country for taking social security
claims of wage earners and their
dependents. These offices will
handle the emergency benefit pay
ments along with their regular
tasks.
A widow OF wife without children
will receive between $50 and $45
monthly; with one child, between
$40 and $50 monthly; with two
children between $40 and SIS; and
with three or more children, be-
tween $50 and $85. The scale IS
based on monthly earnings of the
person affected by enemy action.

IS THRILLING
DRAMA PLAYING
10Th Century Theatre Has
FEATURE Stars Humphrey
Bogarf and Ida Lupino

High Sierra the film which is
now playing at the goth Century
Theatre, brings with it all the
thrills, suspense and dramatic ac-
ton which movie audiences hope
for in their screen fare. With
Humphrey Bogart as "the last of
the Dillinger mob Ida Lupino as
his sweetheart, and made under
the direction of Raoul Walsh, whose
most recent success was They
Drive BY Night" High Sierra
was produced by Warner Bros,
with Mark Hellinger as associate
producer.
Supported by cast which in
cludes Alan Curtis, Arthur Ken
nedy, Henry Rull, Henry Travers.
Joan Leslie, Bogart and Miss Lup-
inc are said to triumph in the
two top roles. Bogart plays Roy
Earl. strange sort of criminal 20
whom crime is an unpleasant, but
nevertheless necessary, business, 1t
is a role somewhat reminiscent Of
the one he played SO brilliantly in
his first motion picture, The
Petrified Forest" Miss Lupino is
seen as the girl who loves him so
much that she eventually proves
his downfall. Another member of
the cast whose love helps to lead
to his eventual undoing is small,
loyal and lovable wire-haired ter
rier, named "Pard.'

Give this just a m ON e n t S
thought. Isn't it more important
that highways now be given prior
ity to maintain the production eff
fort than that some probably (but
still Alphabetically vital military
road be built to combat an attack
ing enemy? What good are mill
tary roads without the machines Of
war to defend them? That, at the
moment, is the reasoning of the
agencies who are voting and allo-
eating funds for highways proposed
or now under construction.
In order to get a new highway
constructed these days, it first is
necessary to convince the army and
navy that it is vital from a mill
tary standpoint But there is one
other important hurdle; the War
Production Board. 1t can say even
to the army and navy: Which do
you want a road that the SOL
diers and sailors can use; or a
road that will double the ships,
planes, tanks and guns now rolling
off the assembly lines?"
That's why "highways-as- usual
or even partially strategic high
ways will have to wait their turn.

An informed British source said
the Raj got in some good ticks"

was said to be the worst some
residents had experienced there, not

A number of English were killed,

Nazi Detectives
The German Command identified
Nazi detectives as the Dover

ter logical takeoff point in the
recent commando raids on the st.
Nazaire U-boat base.
Aircraft detector station observ-

German fears of further sorties
against the French Coast now be-
ing prepared in Portland and other
south coast cities.
Effective Smelling
The Air Ministry said bomber
pilots returning from the Mat
ford raid reported having carried
out an effective bombardment.
This important objective they
said, lis one of the key French
