Declaration Made in Secret Testimony by SetY. of

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.--lR- Secretary of Commerce Hartman pictured Soviet Russia today as "a greater menace than Hitler was.
 In secret testimony before House Appropriations Subcommittee, Har- riman said if this country turns its back on the Soviet threat. 1t will be only few years until we will face situation that is manageable" !"
 Harriman's testimony, released in the subcommittee report to Congress today, came as he supported a pro- posed $42, 100000 increase in the Commerce Departments 1949 budget over l948.
 Part of the increased appropria- ton would go toward survey of un- charted Alaskan Coasts, he said, where adequate charts are essen tial for Naval and Military purpos- es."

BIG SUM PAID IN UNEMpL0YMEN
 CONFIRMATION

Claims for unemployment com pensation have increased steadily since November, 1947, according to R. E. Sheldon, executive director of the Alaska U. c. Commission.
 Sheldon states the amount of $35,000 paid unemployed Alaska workers during November increased to $72,000 in December and to s13o,000 in January. It was es- timated that some $175,OO0 would be expended during February for this purpose. December, January and February are usually the heaviest months, it was pointed out. Pay ments start dropping off in March and are reduced to a minimum from April to November
 To be eligible for unemploy- ment compensation, Sheldon furth- CT states, a worker must be in- voluntarily unemployed, must reg ,ster for work and at all times be ahle and available for work. The employment offices through out the Territory assist the work CT in either securing jobs or fil- ing claims for jobless insurance. The amount and duration of unem- ployment insurance is dependent upon the previous work history of the claimant.
 The commission recognizes, Shel- don stated, that it's primary func- ton is to find jobs for the un- employed. However. when no jobs are available the worker may be eligible for unemployment benefits which furnish him with at least a portion of his former wage. These payments assist the worker ill se- curing the necessities oi life dur ing periods of involuntary unem- ployment.
 Unemployment insurance goes a long way toward maintaining the purchasing power of community. it was stated. Unemployment pay ments find their way into all channels of business and greatly assist in checking the spread of further unemployment.
