Cost of Living Increases
Asked for War Disabled


Cost of living increases in the
compensation of disabled war vet
Grams, widows, orphans and other
dependents will be asked of the
coming session of Congress by The
American Legion and Auxiliary,
Mrs. Mosby, Rehabilitation Chair
man of Eureka Unit of the Auxili-
airy said this week.
Obtaining across the board" in
creases for all persons entirely or
partially dependent upon war ser
vice compensation for their liveli-
hood has been given high place on
the Legislative program of the two
organizations for l949. A vigorous
educational program will be con-
Quoted to acquaint the public with
the necessity and justice for the in
creaseS.
Since the present compensation
rates were fixed, sharp increases
in prices have sent living costs sky
rocketing," Mrs. Mosby said Dis
abled veterans, their families and
widows with families to support
have been especially hard hit In
the name of justice, compensation
should be increased in line with the
realities of today's prices
The Auxiliary also will support
The American Legion's request for
pensions for veterans of advanced
age, according to Mrs MOSby. With
many veterans of Word War | now
reaching an age where they no
longer can earn a living and with
few of them entitled to adequate
Social Security benefits, the need
for some form of pension is becom-
ing urgent, she stated, pointing out
that the United States always has
protected in their old age those who
protected the country in their
youth.
Another protection for veterans
and their families which the Aux
iliary will join the Legion in asking
from the coming session of Con-
gress is the granting of Social
Security credit for time spent in
the armed forces during World War
II. Veterans in covered employment
before the war lost their Social
Security credits while in the service
and all veterans lost the credit they
might have gained if they had been
in covered employment during the
war years.

It's well-known fact that one

The example furnished by the
Native village of Unalakleet should
be extended to more Alaskan Ma
tive villages, according to Bob
Druxman, Juneau public relations
counsel who recently made an
inspection of the Territory for the
Alaska Native Service.
He referred to the fine truck gar
dens at Unalakleet which furnish
The villagers with fresh vegetables
to supplement their normal meat
diet and also gives them a cash
income by selling their surplus to
the city of Nome.
Unalakleet gardens produce let
tuce, carrots, potatoes, rutabagas,
cabbage, turnips and many other
vegetables sorely needed in that
section and too expensive for the
average person to import.

sent it to German leaders at
once.
Among other things the State
Department was worried lest news
of the Russian American peace
. talks should leak out to the Ger
man leaders. If so, they knew the
Germans would stall, refuse to set
up the new German state, and
resort to their traditional tactics
of playing Russia off against the
West.
The cabled instruction TO Clay
was sent early in April. But for
some mysterious reason Clay de-
layea. He did not present the
charter to the German leaders.
News of the Russian peace
talks tegan to leak out, and still
Clay did not act. Finally, the
State Department ordered special
U. S. Ambassador Robert Murphy
to hop in plane, fly to Germany
and put a firecracker under Clay.
Murphy did so and the revised
charter of government was pre-
sented to the German leaders

THE VAUGHAN MEDAL

Sen. Ray Baldwin OF Connecticut
made sensational news last week
by resigning from the Senate to
become State Supreme Court
judge in his home state. And be-
hind-the- scenes he may make
more news by blocking the dia-
mond- studded medal recently given
TO President Humans military
aide, Maj Gen. Harry Vaughan,
by President Peron of Argentina.
The Vaughan medal hasn't act
ually come before the Senate yet,
but Senator Baldwin gave some
ideas as to how his mind was
working by holding up approval OF
various foreign decorations for
American citizens until the Senate
could study the entire question.
Meanwhile, he called attention to
Article l, Section 8, Paragraph 8
OF the U. S. Constitution which Is
clear and to the point. 1t states:
mo title of nobility shall be grant,
ed by the United States. And no
person holding any office of profit
or trust under them shall, without
the consent of the Congress, ac-
cept any present, emolument, office
or title of any kind whatever from
and king, prince or foreign state. y
Under this provision, some mem
bers Of the Senate Armed Services
Committee questioned whether
General Vaughan was within his
legal rights in accepting the Peron
medal The State Department ar
gued that he was, claiming that
technically he had not accepted, had
merely turned the medal over to
the State Department for safe
keeping until Congress approved.
However. from the propaganda
viewpoint, which was the main
thing Peron was interested in,
some Senators felt that Vaughan

This is the information given to Delegate E. L.

Our Delegate argued that the record is complete,
all necessary information is at hand and nothing

men have changed their views concerning the fish
