lump.sum payment, equal to about
5000 in most cases, may be made
to specified relatives or to persons
who pay the burial expenses.
Since most of the veterans are
young and unmarried or childless,
it is likely that the great majority
Of payments will be lump sums.
These payments, however, will not
prevent widows and parents from
getting monthly benefits beginning
at age IS.
Amount Of Benefits.
The guarantee Of an average
monthly wage Of $3.50, given to vet
Grams without any payment on their
part, means that the basic mini
mum on which payments to sur
vivors are calculated viii be at least
$31. Since an additional one per
cent is given for each year Of mill
tary service, this basic sum will gen.
orally be increased slightly. For
example, a veteran with four years
Of service and no other employment
under the Social Security Act would
get 1924.
The benefits awarded to widows
are three-fourths of this amount
and those for children or parents
equal ON. half. Lump sums are six
times this amount.
The Government thus assures sur
vivors, depending on their relation
to the veteran, these minimum

These benefits can be regarded
as three-year term insurance given
absolutely free by the Government.
The veterans family is protected
for three years and, II he should
die within this time, no matter what
the cause, q lump sum or regular
payments will be forthcoming. It
has been estimated that, in terms
Of private insurance, this program
places about 5000, ,oo0, 900 worth
Of protection in force for three
years to the account Of veterans
families.
one mathematics-minded ex-
soldier who served three years has
figured that his family "a wife,
aged SO and two sons, aged / and
4 could get benefits totaling
$13,700 If he should die. Monthly
payments would be paid until the
youngest child reached 18 and then
the widow, II still single at 65,
could continue to get benefits until
she died. This protection, is equiva-
lent to private term insurance
policy with a face value OF about
50, 500.
Getting Paid.
The benefits will not be available
If or when survivors are found to
be entitled to pension or compen-
sation from the Veterans Admin
istration. Likewise, they will not
be payable, as already noted, to
soldiers who die in service or who
die four years after formal declara-
ton that the war has ended.
It should be remembered that
survivors can get benefits even If
the veteran never had q Job in
private industry covered by the So
cial Security Act. Thus, 1t will be
possible for q Federal workers
family to get these benefits plus any
civil-service payments In full.

Alaska Citizens 10 Go
To Polls tuesday for
Vote on Statehood
~ N. A..ee,o,ed Pres.

=
Alaska, purchased from Russia In
1867 and made . territory in 1912,
will vote Tuesday on whether 1t
wants to enter the union as the 49th
or 5oth State.
The voters will answer the ques-
tion: "Are you In favor Of state
hood Tor Alaskan"
The question has been on Alaskan
tongues for 80 years. During those
years the proposal has gradually
been gaining adherents from the
ranks Of those who believed state
hood would prove too costly for the
territory.
Alaska is now operated by the Fed
eral Government with a legislature
to enact local laws and meet local
problems but always subject to the
approval of Congress. 1t is repre-
sented in Congress by one nonvoting
delegate.
Before Next Congress.
A territories subcommittee of the
House visited Hawaii and Alaska
last summer and recommended ap-
prevail of statehood for Hawaii but
withheld approval OF similar step
for Alaska.
But the full committee did not
act on the report, and when the
next Congress opens, bills will be
reintroduced to provide statehood
for Alaska If the voters approve 1t.
Hawaii voted overwhelmingly in 1910
In favor of statehood, and bills will
be introduced to give it statehood
regardless Of Alaska.
Even If such bills are enacted by
Congress, it is a slow process to
admit new States. It would take
probably three years for each terri
tory to adopt State constitution.
1t would then have to be approved
by the. voters.
Advocates of statehood have car
ried on an intensive campaign with
the support Of Secretary of the In
terror Krug.
Truman Offers Welcome.
President Truman last year urged
statehood for Hawaii and said he
would be glad to welcome Alaska
into the Union.
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska and
former Delegates Wickersham and
Dimond waged an unceasing fight
for statehood.
"All it would take, in my opinion,
to convert the most uncompromising
foe of statehood into an enthusiastic
supporter would be for him to come
to Washington and take over the
delegates job for week." Mr.. Bart
lett said.
'It is tnconceivable to me that
any area, and particularly one which
is more than twice the size of Texas
and which is possessed of vast
wealth of resources, should remain
permanently under the Stars and
Stripes in q condition of political
servitude."
