INFORMATION
FOR VETERANS
Some Veterans Have Failed
To Include Service Ser
ial Numbers
100000 APPLICATIONS

Many World War II veterans
Who have omitted certain informa-
tion requested on application
forms for the special National Ser
vice Life Insurance dividend are
contracting Veterans Administra-
tion to learn what corrective action
they should take, VA said Monday.
Some veterans have failed to in
clude their insurance or service
serial numbers, their addresses or
they have forgotten to sign their
application, VA explained. In most
cases VA will be able to supply
the missing information from head
quarters index records, or by writ
ing to the veteran, it was explain
ed. This will apply where the miss
ing or incomplete information is

birth, insurance numbers or claim
number. However, if the veteran
has omitted his signature or name
or address on both the application
and acknowledgement portions of
the form, he should submit another
application. In no case should a
veteran write to VA for informa-
tion on his application. Such letters
will require VA to remove his
records from the assembly line to
answer his inquiry and this results
in delay of payment to that veter-
an. More than 100000 applica-
tions were received during the first
week after the forms became avail
able on August 20. and forms are
still being received at the rate of
nearly 100000 per day. VA has
announced that it will begin mail

That's the record made by Lucille Bremen, who co-stars with Astaire in MGM's delightful new Technicolor hit, "Yolanda and the Thief" which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 She is a 1.-the, petite girl with red hair and blue eyes who seems to float through the intricate Astaire routines with the greatest ease.
 It was in June, 1943, that Pro- ducer Arthur Freed saw her oanc- ing in New York night spot. Upon his recommendation MGM signed her to come to Hollywood. Because she displayed decided dramatic abil- ity in her test she was first cast in a straight dramatic role in Meet Me in St. Louis
 III LiCSitl EOiiiCo d SAl Wao needed to dance with Asta.re. Miss Bremen tried out with Astaire just once.

ANS SCHOOLS IN
 JUNEAU, S!TKA
 NOT 10 REOPEN

The ANS does not plan to reopen schools at Bethel, Cordova, Haines, Hconah, Juneau, Rake, Ketchikan, Nome and Sitka as these communi- ties have schools operated by the Territory. A single school system under local direction for stable de- veloped communities, will continue to be the aim of the ANS. No ANS school facilities are operated or planned in communities where a single local system is practical.
 Don c. Foster, General Superin- tendent of Alaska Native Service, said today that an Associated Press story in Saturdays Empire concern ing Native schools was incorrect, and presumes that inadvertently a list of schools that had been closed or taken oyer by the Territorial System was used. Day schools are now being operated at Elephant Point. Nikolski, Solomon, Stevens Village and Venetie. Metlakatla plans to operate its school next year.
 Tt is true" Foster said, that the budget now being considered by the Congress provides for 21 additional school units in the ANS system but not at the places named in Satur- days story"
 If funds are approved as provid- ed in the budget one room schools closed in recent years because of lack of funds will be reopened at Alitak, Beaver, Chalkyts.k, Chani- Hut, Eagle, Kaltag, Kivalina, Num- trak, Nondalton, Northway and Pilot Point.
 The other additional units in the budget represent provision for ad- ditional teachers in existing schools with large enrolment. One addition al class room unit is provided at ANS schools at Deering, Gambell Hooper Bay, Kotzebue, Kwethluk Nanapitchuk, Sevoonga and Vain wright. Two additional teachers are provided for the ANS day school at Shishmaref.

Goodyear Workers
Win Vacation Pay

Atlanta, Ga. (LPA) = Nearly
1000 workers laid off at the Rock
mart, Ga, and Decatur Ala,
plants of the Goodyear Tire q
Rubber Co. in May will receive
100000 in vacation pay, under the
ruling of Whitley p. Mccoy, inn
partial arbiter.
On refusal of the company to
pay vacations after the layoff, the
United Textile Workers of Amer
ica-AFL, tarte d the contract
grievance machinery. c o m pany
counsel argued no vacation pay
was due because the employees were
laid off before their anniversary
date. Joseph Jacobs, UTAW-AFL
Southern Director, countered that
the vacations were monies earned.
Jacobs estimates vacation bene-
fits for each worker will range
from $l8 to $120. He believes that
as a result of the Mccoy ruling,
several hundred non-union EN-
ployes laid off at Goodyear's Atco
and Cedartown plants, also will
get vacation pay.
