THE NOME NUGGET

Senator Cochran withdrew his measure, for the Senate rules pro- vide that an identical bill from the House takes precedence over tre Senate bill.
 Under the United States Social Security Act of 1885, three sub- divisions were defined: 1. Old age assistance (pensions), 2. Old age insurance, 3. Unemployment com pensation. In 1887 our Legisla- ture brought the Territory within the jurisdiction of Federal Social Security.
 Unemployment compensation is paid solely by the employer into a fund administered by the Un- employment Compensation Com mission at Juneau for the benefit of the employee, there is now in this fund approximately seven million dollars. .....
 As originally set up no em- ployer had to pay. anything into this fund unless he had or more employees. This session amended the law to read that an employer of l or more employees comes within the provisions of the Act. Also the maximum received was raised from $16 to $20 per week, and the period of weeks raised from 16 to 20 weeks.
 Two other measures that are considered by many as both pro- gressive and constructive are: i. Reduction of voting age from 21 to 18 years. 2. Reduction of resi- dential requirement for divorce purposes from 2 to 1 year.
 These two measures differ from the others that have been de- scribed, inasmuch as they are me- morials to Congress requesting that Congressional action be taken to make the necessary

 In this Organic Act the voting age is placed at 21 years and the residential requirement for di- vorce is stated at 2 years. Only Congress can change the Organic Act, but will usually do so at the request of the Territorial Legis- lature.

MOSCOW, May 14.-A Tass dis
patch from Warsaw said today a
document signed by Adolf Hitler
had been found ordering that the
crowns and sceptres of Polish kings
be taken to Germany for his own
collection.
Describing the opening of an ex-
hibition, WARSAW Accuses" Tass
said the Germans did not even spare
a collection of Egyptian mummies
in their widespread looting of Polish
art treasures and museums.
I'm search of gold they destroyed
sarcophagi, broke up and threw
away the mummies," the dispatch
said. 'The cost of museum collec-
tions of the Polish capital plundered
and destroyed by the Germans runs
into the billions of zlotys."
The exhibit shows mutilated pic
lures slashed by the Germans,
broken statues, smashed pieces of
valuable furniture, and p$ lures of
prewar palaces, squares AID streets

Die From DRINKING
Nazi MethyI Alcohol
BY the Associated Press.


NUREMBERG, Germany. May IA.
The death of more than 400 lib
Grated Russian prisoners of war
from drinking methly alcohol was
reported to American Sd Army au-
thorities yesterday by 1t. Michael
Kopilow, Russian liaison officer.
The soldiers looted an abandoned
German freight train near their
camp in this area, 1t. Kopilow said,
and found many cars loaded with
50-gallon drums of methyl which
they miStook for potable alcohol
They mixed it with water and drank
it.
1t. Kopilow proposed that lib
Grated officers be armed and formed
into a security guard to maintain
order and prevent such incidents.
The camp in question, he said, in
cluded 1000 officers and 5000 en-
listed men.
Third Army authorities assured
him that Russian collaboration
would be welcome.
Inere are so many cases OF QeathS
from methyl alcohol that this is
competing with typhus as a public
health problem among displaced
persons.
AS German withdrawals became
more disorganized, more warehouses
and supply trains fell into American
hands. At the same time combat
troops were pressing forward SO
rapidly that such captured stores
had to be left to military govern
ment detachments to guard. The
AMG is seldom equipped to do this
effectively.
In many cases detachment of
two officers and half a dozen enlisted
men has been responsible for organi-

maintenance of public health, law
and order in an area equivalent to
