WARNING GIVEN TO
 VETS ON ASSURANCE

The Veterans Administration op- crates the largest mutual life in- surance system in the world in it's administration of National Service Life Insurance for the millions of men and women of this country who served in the armed forces.
 However. according to Ernest E. Lincoln, VA Manager in Juneau, few veterans are familiar with the full story of the benefits and econ- omic security which they enjoy through NSLI. For instance, in the Pacific Northwest, he pointed out, a quarter of a million veterans have dropped their GI insurance policies Nationally, the number of veterans who have lapsed runs into the millions, with the subsequent loss of billions of dollars of insur- ance protection.
 In conjunction with the obSer- vance of National Service Life h. surance Week, which is being marked in Juneau this week, Lin coin explained that the Veterans Administration is conducting an ill- tensive information program to en- courage and assist veterans to re- tain, or reinstate, their CT insur- ance.
 NSLI policies were originally is sued on a five-year level premium term plan with premiums payable at a fixed rate for insurance pro- lection alone The policies had no cash, loan, paid-up or extended in- surance values.
 This term insurance provides maximum amount of protection at the lowest cost. The term period is eight years, and policies need plan before the expiration of that period. Exception to that rule are term policies issued after Decem- Der 31, 1945, which must be con- Verted within i've years.
 Lincoln said that the VA is ad- vising veterans to continue their policies as term insurance, not converting until they have become completely re-established and able to pay the higher premiums re- quired for permanent insurance policies He pointed out that every veteran has until October, 1948, at least, to convert to a permanent policy, and many veterans have much longer than that.
 Term policies may be converted to any one of the following per- manent forms: Ordinary life, 30- pay life, 20-pay life, 20-year en- dowment, endowment at age 50 and endowment at age 65.
 Veterans who have allowed their policies to lapse may apply for re- instatement by paying two month ly premiums and by signing com parative health statement showing that they are in as good health as at the time the policy lapsed. This privilege will expire on August l, 1947. Necessary application forms for reinstatement are available at the Juneau Regional office, located in the Goldstein Building.

30c Hourly Boost
ForLongshoremen

San Francisco (FP) = Hawaiian
longshoremen have won a 80 cent
hourly wage increase in an agree
ment on a new contract with Homo
lulu waterfront employers.
This latest increase, which will
also set the pattern for all other
island ports brings the basic hour
ly rate to $1.30 and marks a gain
twice as large as any previals
longshore gain in Hawaii.
AS soon as the terms of the
agreement have been put in writ
ing the contract will be submitted
to the membership for ratification.
The agreement was reached with
the aid of a special government
mediator, DR.. Nathan Feinsinger.
Longshoremen twice postponed
their strike deadline at the request
of the federal government. The con-
tract expired last Sept. 30.
The new contract extends for Is
months with wage reopenings
after six and IL months. Principles
of the hiring hall were obtained,
including the work force against
the work load, the 40-hour guaran-
tee for basic employees and pre-
ference of employment for union
members.

School Strikes Settled

Philadelphia (FP)-The strikes
of two groups of school teachers
ended when the unorganized and
unaffiliated instructors returned to
classes in West Pottsgrove and
Coal Township, Pa.
The 13 West Pottsgrove high
school teachers returned after a
1-day strike. After asking a $500
yearly increase, they conditionally
accepted $50, an offer from the
school board which they had earl
ier turned down. The more militant
group of "a in Coal Township
(near Shamokin, Pa.) had kept
high and elementary schools closed
to 2,400 pupils. These teachers
stuck it out for over a month de-
manding a $500 yearly increase.
They got it.

go long way toward removing
the fear of Imperialism that has

"It has the potentialities of re-
moving some of the causes of SER

The economist explained that the
official attitude Of the United
States toward the idea had not
beer defined. He remarked, how
ever, that in at least one instance
in the war this country, in dealing
with Latin-American nation, in
sisted that some of the higher
prices agreed upon for a commod-
ity be passed on to the labor force.

FREE SPEECH IN
WALL STREET

New York (FP)-Wall Street
breeds sensitive souls as well as
millionaires.
So William H. Haskell, a GUS
toners broker, discovered when
he was examined as a prospec-
tive juror in the New York
Giants football-fix case. Asked
if he could view the case inn
partially, Haskell said no, be-
cause "I'm in the gambling
business myself"
Quicker than he could hand
out a hot tip, Haskell found
himself out of a job. The New
York Stock Exchange cancelled
his registration and his employ
er, the Wall Street firm of K.
f. Hutton & Co., fired him.
Announcing the unprecedent-
ed action, Stock Exchange
President Emil Schram said
Haskell's remark was "discredi-
table with respect to the securi-
ties business" He added that
Haskell "has mistaken con-
ception of the business in which
he has been engaged" E. F.
Hutton & Co. agreed.

Workers Charge
Discrimination

Denver (FP)-Charges that the
Agriculture Department has dis
eliminated against beet workers in
fixing minimum wages were level
ed here at a government factfind-
ing hearing on 1947 sugar beet in
dustry wages and prices.
The hearing, which was recessed
until Jan. 81, is one of four being
held by the department. One has
been held in Detroit and, after
Denver, the board will move on to
Salt Lake City and Berkeley, Calf.
Since 1889 "beet prices have
risen 1913 per cent while the work
ers' pay has risen only 50 per
cent" the board was told by Bernie
Valdez of the Community Service
Club, which serves Spanish-speak-
ing people in Colorado and New
Mexico.
The Socieldad Mutualista, local
branch of a national beet work
ers group, accused the department
Of taking perfunctory attitude
toward fixing minimum wages" 1t
demanded that the government
raise the minimum wage per acre
from $3.50 to $55.
Spokesman FOR the workers went
further in declaring that beet
workers were not protected by the
Wagner act, the wage-hour law or
the social security act. They de-
manded that they be included, "as
American workers." under these
protective acts.

Sourpuss Wilson, Gener

guess is that King George vi

Robson suggested in an afterdin-
ner speech that unions in the U.

We anticipate a big glut in the
labor market for public relations
men when the army and navy fin
ally get merged. What will all the

Young Hank Ford announced he
was cutting car prices to starve off
initiation. And just then the Secur-
ity & Exchange Commissions wild
ened the door to gambling on the
stock exchange, saying the danger
of initiation was over. But Ford
cashed in on the publicity, even if
his cuts averaged only 1 per cent.

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Winter is a good time ato vary
the preparation of the lowly vege-
tables to add an exciting note to
your menu.

lately? Parboil the onions about Is
minutes. Make cavity in center of
each onion and fill with canned
peas or frozen ones that have been
defrosted. Place over each lump

casserole and pour around it a
little water in which a bouillon
cube has been dissolved. Cook un-
covered until onions are brown.
Glazed carrote are loved by the
whole family. Cook about a dozen
whole carrots in small amount of
water until tender. Melt butter and
brown sugar Cor granulated) in
large iron frying pan and place
carrots in it. Place over low heat
and shake pan so carrots will be-
come coated with the syrup. When
nicely glazed, serve.
In place of a can of corn, serve
a cornpudding. Combine 2 table
spoons each of flour and sugar,
teaspoon salt, cups milk, 2 table
spoons melted butter and two eggs

corn, pour in casserole, set in pan
of water and bake 80 to 40 minutes

this simple method of baking.
Wash and season fish, wrap in
slightly creased butchers paper,
place on cookie sheet in oven and
bake. If desired you can roll fish
in cornmeal, cracker crumbs or

were banned from the All-Ameri-
can Air Maneuvers at Miami, Flor
ida, just because they were women,
have planned an all-women's air
meet, at Tampa, Florida for March
18th and 10th.
Mrs. Verna Burke Craft, CAA
flight test examiner, opined that
for the present the women fliers
would have to accept the unco-
operative spirit. of the men, but
warned that "an airplane cannot

Comment On World Events

An interesting step in the field
of world improvement of labor
conditions will soon be taken by
a United Nations agency, which
is planning action toward framing
an international code to guarantee
fair labor practices and standards
on all projects financed by inter-
national funds.
This is an extension of the idea
carried out in federal legislation
which American labor did so much
to pass, providing for fair wages
and good working conditions on
work done under U. S. govern
ment contract.
The UN plan is intended to en-
brace all aspects Of international
investments. Drafting Of the code,
suggested by China, is on the
agenda Of the Economic and En-
ployment Commission, now meet
ing at Lake Success, n. Y.
DR.. Isador Lubin, United States
delegate to the 15-nation commits
sion, described the plan at the Of
flee of the American delegation in
New York City. He was enthusias-
tic about the idea.
If the Chinese suggestion goes
through the United Nations diplo-
matte mill and becomes a reality,
he said, it will do much to remove
the fear of dollar diplomacy" and
the danger Of the alag following
the investment"
He gave an example of how it
might work. Suppose" he said,
shat a country borrows money
from an international agency. Part
of the terms of the contract would
be that, in erecting the plant for
which the money was borrowed,
the country would have to main
tain decent standards Of labor"

Georgia Defies
Closed Shop Ban

Atlanta (LPA) - Georgia AFL
unions have made it clear that they
will defy the states new anti
closed shop law until the issue has
been finally settled by the U. S.
Supreme Court.
To comply with the new statute,
said AFL Southern Drive Director
George Googe, "would mean utter
dissolution of our labor organiza-
tions because we would be compell-
ed to open ourselves to the employ
ment of anti-union spies, members
of the CIO, company unions, and
members of the Communist Party"
During the court appeals, said
Googe, 1--WE will insist upon the
status quo of industrial relations,
keeping foremost in mind the fact
that compulsory servitude is re-
pugnant to American democracy
and prohibited by the federal Con-
stitution. The right not to work for
an employer against your will is
sacred right, the right of an AFL
member to refuse to work along
side a non-member who may be an
enemy to the collective security of
his fellow-employes shall be
preserved and exercised until the
U. S. Supreme Court redefines our
code of rights and privileges"
