Canneries Bringing Men North by Air-AssembIY
 Banquet Date Is Set

Joe D Fessio, Traffic Manager, Alaska Region, Pan American World Airways, spoke on "PAA Ser vice in Alaska before members of the Juneau Rotary Club this noon at their regular luncheon meeting in the Baranof Gold Room.
 In Juneau on a general inspection tour, MT. Fessio said many cannery authorities had told him without adeouate air travel available this Spring, the Alaska fishing industry would have been forced to curtail or possibly abandon much of its &C., tivity in the Territory. He said that the large majority of this years cahnery workers had been transported by air.
 We can't order an excess of planes and have them ready in case of shipping strikes or other emer- gencies," he said. But we can, and will continue, to meet Alaska's s prob lens of travel with the best service we can possibly offer.
 New ideas and improvement for passenger service are constantly be- Ing added to the interior of PAA's aircraft, MT Fessio said-"Even if it's only in such small matter as providing paper slippers"
 Ne1o Graft Scheduled
 Head officials of the PAA region al line in Alaska are mostly old timers, men who are in Alaska be- cause they want to be here, the speaker pointed out. He added that he himself was in the Seattle head quarters in charge of Alaskan traf- fic, because he believed that the future holds tremendous possibili- ties for transportation and other developments in the Territory.
 In the next few months four engine aircraft is expected to be added to the Alaska line, he said. At present PAA operates Douglas DC-3 planes throughout the Territory.
 During the business session of the meeting, the Rev. Robert Treat, a guest of Rotary, announced that the Rotarian-sponsored overnight trip

 FOR JILTED WOMAN
 ON THEFT CHARGE

SAN DIEGO, May 2l.-Sheriff's deputies today hunted Mrs. Lu- ellie (Lucky) Rogers Malcolmson on complaint of It. Col. Gregory (Pappy) Boyington.
 Early this year Mrs. Malcolmson charged the famous Marine flier with jilting her. His complaint on which she is being sought today charges her with grand theft of more than 5000 he turned over to her for care of his three children by a former marriage.
 In Reno where Mrs. Malcolmson had gone to establish residence for divorce shortly before Boying- ton married actress Frances Baker, her attorney would not disclose her address, but said she was in the Reno vicinity.
 The attorney, Joseph P. Haller, said he imagined" his client would submit to service of warrant for her arrest after he made an effort to have her bail reduced. Municipal Judge A. F. Molina of San Diego had set bail at $25,000.
 Boyington, leader of the war time "Blacksheep" air squadron and the second fighter pilot in World War II to equal Capt. Eddie Rick enbacker's world war record of 26 enemy planes shot down, is under treatment at the Naval Hospital here for an ailment attributed to his 2o-month imprisonment by the Japanese.

$4,000 G's Exhaust
JobIess Payments;
Number Increasing
By Miriam Gutenberg

More than $4,000 veterans al
ready have exhausted their
rights to CT unemployment COM
pensation and the number is
expected to double by January
/, the Veterans Administration
announced today.
These are veterans who have been
members of the 1920 Club up to
a year, although some didn't have
enough service in the armed forces
to entitle them to a full years bene-
fits.
Another 334, 200 veterans, VA re-
ported, haye bean drawing readjust-
ment allowances for 70 or more cons
secutiye weeks.
BY the end of September, the vet
erans' agency said, approximately
half the World War II veterans had
filed claim for readjustment al
lowance and the great majority had
received one or more payments.
Through October, the Government
had paid out 81 TOO, 100000 in re-
adjustment allowances.
The number of veterans continu-
ing to file weekly claims, however,
has been dropping sharply so that
by the first week of November the
number of continued claims dropped
below 100000 for the first time
this year.
Although more veterans are work.
ing, the Veterans Administration
reports that many of them are not
satisfied with their jobs and that
they are quitting at much higher
rate than nonveterans. A substan-
tial number of veterans filing claims
for unemployment compensation in
recent months were on the rolls be-
fore, VA said.
Justice Department statistics were
quoted to show that more veterans
are filing suits under the Selective
Service Act now than filed originally
to get their jobs back. Their COM
plants have to do with pay, promo
ton, vacation rights, seniority, union
contracts, lay-offs and discharges
Employed veterans, the VA sur
vey showed, are drawing an average
income Of about $44 a week. The
agency warned that further price
increases would make the readjust-
ment problem sstill more difficult
for veterans seeking a place to live
hoping to 60 into business, desiring
to replenish wardrobes and looking
forward to furnishing or refurnish-
ing new or re-established homes"
VA predicted that the first real
test of how much veterans have
readjusted will come with the first
postwar recession, which will have
a heavy impact on veterans with
low seniority or brief experience.
