Vandenberg Not COP Candidate

WASHINGTON, (P) Senator Vandenberg R.-Mich) declined to speculate" whether he would ac- cept the Republican nomination for President.
 Vandenberg wired Raymond A. Mcconnell, Jr., Lincoln, Neb., newspaper editor again, asking that his name be withheld from the April 13 Nebraska primary.
 Mcconnell had held up filing of a petition to place Vandenberg's name of the Nebraska ballot until the Michigan Senator had oppor- tunity to answer this question:
 "If you were nominated by the Republican convention would you accept the nomination?"
 Vandenberg wired Mcconnell:
 Responding to your message, l decline to speculate with utterly improbable contingencies. Your question defies intelligent answer without full knowledge of un- known ultimate events.
 "I have heretofore made my po- sition clear. shall not discuss it further.
 'I again request that my name be not filed for a position for which I am not a candidate. If it is filed despite this urgent and ear nest request, ask my Nebraska friends to confine their primary votes to others"
 The reply apparently left the way open for Mcconnell to go ahead with move to place Van denberg'S name before Nebraska voters.

Unemployment Up In Alaska

Claims for unemployment com pensation have increased steadily since November, 1947, according to R. E. Sheldon, executive direc- tor of the Alaska unemployment compensation commission.
 MT. Sheldon stated that the amount of 35,000.00 paid unem- ployed Alaska workers during Mo- vember increased to $72,000.00 in December and to Sl30,000.00 in January, l948. It was estimated that some SITS 100000 would be ex- pended 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, MT. Sheldon further stated, a worker must be involuntarily unemployed, must register for work and at all times be able and available for work The employment offices through out the Territory assist the worker in either securing jobs or filing claims for jobless insurance. The amount and duration of unem- ployment insurance is dependent upon the previous work history o1 the claimant. The commission recognizes, MT. Sheldon stated that its primary function is to find jobs for the unemployed
The Nome nugget., 1948-03-03

However, when no jobs are avail able the worker may be eligible for unemployment benefits which furnish him with at least a DOT tion of his former wage. These payments assist the worker in se- curing the necessities of life dur ing periods of involuntary unem- ployment.
 Unemployment insurance goes a long way toward maintaining the purchasing power of a com munity, it was stated. Unemploy- ment payments find their way into all channels of business and assist greatly in checking the spread of further unemployment.

Seek More Pay For Commissioners

Delegate Bartlett's bill to in crease from $30OO to $5OO0 the net fees which United States Commis- sioners in Alaska may retain as annual compensation has been re- ported favorably to the Senate by the Senate committee on interior and insular affairs. The measure, H. R. 3973, passed the House last July 2l.
 The present limitation of $3000 has been in existence since 1900. At the present time the increas. in compensation would affect six United States Commissioners in Alaska, namely, those at Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward, Juneau and Ketchikan.
 Delegate Bartlett still hopes that Congress will act favorably on his measure to place commissioners in the Territory on a salary basis, thus benefitting considerably more United States Commissioners than does H. R. 3973.

roll tax of 12 of per cent on wages and salaries up to $4,00O a year to finance a new health in surance program. A taxpayer earning $4.800 year or more would get a $40 reduction on his federal income tax, under the Presidents program, and then SPA of that would be taken away from him through the new health insur- ance tax.
 At the rate federal, state and To- cal tax-spenders are increasing taxes, thinking up new levies and figuring out additional ways to spend the earnings of the Ameri- can people, it won't be long until somebody will come up with a proposal for government to take all income and give each, person a ration card for food, clothing, housing and other necessities. The gover nmental philosophy now seems to be that government knows better how to spend each individuals money than he does.

McCabe Ordered II BPS BOmbers Destroyed

WASHINGTON, CP) - Senator Tobey R.-N. H. said today that Thomas B. McCabe ordered the tails cut off II nearly-neW BPS bombers "to forestall bad public ity" from their sale to a private Chinese firm.
 Tobey made this charge as the Senate banking committee opened hearings on McCabe's fitness to be a member of the federal reserve board of governors.
 McCabe was in charge of war surplus sales abroad from 1944 to l946.
 President Truman has said he plans, if McCabe is confirmed by the Senate, to name his chairman of the board to replace Mariner s. Eccles.
 In the course of an approxim- ately 10,000-word statement re- viewing McCabe's handling of war surplus, Tobey said Brig. Gen. B. A. Johnson, who was McCabe's commissioner in China, arranged the BPS sale.
 The planes were sold to a pri- vate firm owned by T. L. Soong, brother of Premier T. V. Soong, Tobey said. He continued:
 Testimony will be adduced that when the newspapers broke the story on this deal, MT. McCabe, with no authority whatver for such action, ordered the destruc- ton of these .bombers by cutting they tails off"

You save money at the NC.

The past few years when prices were advancing we priced all foods at regular N. C. markups :. this was based on our actual cost At no time did we take advantage of rising prices In many instances our prices were as low or lower than Seattle prices. This meant substantial savings to our customers. The past week prices on a few items have taken a decline our prices are being adjusted accord ingly. Some of the declines very small others are more noticeable but regardless of how small the saving ... it is being passed on to our cus- toners.
 We are merely carrying out the N. c. policy, which has been in effect, for half century, throughout Alaska .. of offering quality merchandise at low est possible prices.
 We do not believe in "hot shots, we prefer to give good honest values the year 'rouhd.

ST. Lawrence Project
Before Senate Today;
Outcome in Doubt .
By III. A,.oeiot.d Pres,


The Senate squared off today to
.deoate one of the Oldest and most
controversial issues still on its doc
ket--the st. Lawrence seaway and
power project.
The fate, of the measure calling
for an estimated $500,000, 900 out
lay to make the st. Lawrence River
navigable to ocean shipping and to
build a 100000 horsepower hydro
electric plant is in deep doubt.
Senator Wiley, Republican, OF
Wisconsin, scheduled to open the
drive for passage, told a reporter
ne definitely. believes the measure
will pass, but only after a very stiff
battle
Opposition Leader Encouraged.
"As a matter of fact" Senator
Wiley said. Il am frank to say that
not enough Senators as yet are
committed either for or against to
decide the issue"
Senator Lodge, Republican, OF
Massachusetts, one of the opposi.
tion leaders, said ne is much en-
couraged" by the outlook.
In a radio address yesterday, Sem
ator Revercomb, Republican, OF West
Virginia termed the cost Of the prof.
ect "prohibitive" and declared the
entire proposal is fraught with
danger to our economic welfare"
The St. Lawrence proposal, first
seriously considered more than so
years ago, has been before Congress
in varying forms at intervals ever
since.
Last Debated in 1884.
The Senate last formally debated
it in 1884 when the project was pre-
sented in the form Of treaty be-
tween this Nation and Canada
which will join in the construction
and share proportionately In the
cost. The present bill calls for tolls
on shipping to make the project
self -liquidating.
Although the measure in treaty
form received a majority vote OF
the Senate it did not obtain the
necessary two-thirds required for
treaty passage.
AS now drafted, the project will
require only majority vote Of both
House and Senate.
President Truman told his news
conference last week that the sea-
way is vitel to national defense and
the economic welfare OF the United
States ard Canada.
