l. @. During evacuation my
sister, who had one-third interest
in a trucking company which was
owned by three partners, passed
away. During evacuation the COM
pany was operated for the part
ners by a trustee, a manager, and
a boOkkeeper. If there had been
no ,vacuation the salaries and
fees of these men would not have
been necessary. Prior to the war
the business of the company was
largely japanese. During the war
the company's business consisted
largely of war contracts. After the
war, before new business could be
obtained from any one, the war
contract business disappeared. FL
nally it was necessary to liquidate
the partnership and all the truc',s
except one were sold to meet the
debts. The owners did not realize
anything from the sale of their
business. IN addition to the fees
of the trustee, manager, and book
keeper, would il be possible to
claim for the net worth of the
business as of the end of the war
since the need for the sale of the
business would not have occurred
!; evacuation had not taken place?
My brother administered the es-
tate of my sister. Since my sister
did not make out a will, we do
not know in whose name we should
make the claim. Although my
mother is an alien, should she
claim for my sisters share? Or
should my brother, as administra-
tor, make the claim?
A. I suggest that your brother
as administrator, make out the
claim for your deceased sister ant
indicate who her heirs are under
State law If your deceased sisters
partners have claims they should
be filed at the same time so thai
the Government can cons der all
the clair1s together. The salaries
paid to the trustee, manager and
icookk aeper can be taken into con-
sidcration in determining your loss
# no one would have been employed
IN these capacities in the absence
of evacuation.

given wide latitude in making

It appears that the commission is
rendered even more powerful and
arbitrary than before-need of i'm

bers is greatly increased.
The necessity of maintaining the
laws as they are in order that a
reactionary and arbitrary commits
sion may not utterly ignore in

DHIA Tested Dairy
Cows And Herds On
Increase In State

There are more cows and more
herds in the Arizona Dairy Herd
Improvement association program
this year than ever before in the
states history, announces w. R.
Van SAINT, dairy and poultry spec
ialist for the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, University of Arizona.
In August there were 2O8 dairy
herds with almost 1900 cows on
test. In August of last year, Isl
herds with over 5000 cows were
tested and in August, 1910, there
were 66 herds with about 2,400
cows tested.
The purpose of the testing as
sociations is to provide dairymen
with records which can be used to
develop more efficient dairy pro-
grams by culling out producing
cows, feeding for efficient milk pro-
duction, and to develop a sound
breeding program.
Arizona has four D.H.I.A. associa-
tions in five counties. The Mari
copa county association has seven
supervisors, while the Pima-Pinal
county association has one. The
Cochise county association and
Graham county association each
have one supervisor.
These supervisors test each herd
once a month for pounds of milk
and percentage of buterfat pro-
duced.
In Arizona the average cost to
feed one dairy cow for year is
$262, while the national average is
$165. With the increase in milk
production for each cow, the costs
of feeding is reduced and more
efficiency in dairy production is
advanced.

Court Hands
Down Law On
InjjuryPay

New-and different-pro-
ceedures for paying benefits
in industrial accident cases
were set up last Monday by
the Arizona supreme court.
An opinion written by Justice
Marlin T. Phelps, and concurred in
by the four other justices, makes
sweeping changes in commission
procedure. Mondays opinion re-
affirms a similar ruling made by
the same court last June.
The new ruling completely over
turns a former court decision -
made in 1914 which has to do with
the time element used computing
average" earnings in the payment
of awards and reaffirmS a previous
ruling by the tribunal.
The court ruled Monday that an
average" cannot be assessed from
the previous months earnings of
the claimant-as the commission
apparently has been doing-and
says that a longer period can be
set for the average taking" 1. . I.
In case the worker has not been
steadily employed, the commission
may take the average monthly
earnings of similar workers for a
pattern.
What the decision really means,
according to H. S. McCluskey,
legal sharp for the commission, is
that it gives the commission the
power to change, alter, recind COM
penSation awards-or to use a
flexible yardstick" in computing
amount of awards.
This, says McCluskey, won't per-
nit the commission to go into back
awards and start cutting off dol
lars, but will "save" thousands of
dollars in the future.
In the past, the only reason an
award could be changed was if the
physical condition of the injured
workman changed.
The supreme court also held that
the commission was within its
rights in refusing to make an in
jury payment to a farm worker
in case he did not handle machin-
cry. The ruling declared that such
workers were not covered by the
act, unless the employer specific
ally included them in his policy.
The decision of the supreme
court seems to take care of the

ALA5kA5TEAM5HIp WILL OMIT SMALL
 PORTS IN WINTER
Cargo Service Continues But No Passengers Calls at Haines, SkdgwaY,
 Kodiak, Se|dovid

SEATTLE, Aug. 9.--lR- The AL aska Steamship Company will have sailings from Seattle each Satur- day from October to February 25 for Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska under fall and winter pas senger schedule announced today.
 F. A. Zeusler, executive assistant to the President, said calls at Haines, Skagway, Kodiak and Sel- doyia have not been included in the fall and winter passenger sche- dule. He said this was because of ''the heavy losses sustained in pro- viding passenger service to these ports during the past spring and winter due to lack of traffic."
 This will in no way affect the frequency of our cargo vessel sail ings to those ports,' he added, "ex- cept, perhaps, to increase them. 7
 The first sailings on the new schedule is the steamship Baranof, October l, to be followed by the Aleutian and Alaska, October and 15, respectively. For the rest of the season the Denali and Baranof will alternate, sailing on consecutive Saturdays.

 ECUADOR
 TREkBLER

QUITO, Ecuador, Aug. 9-LR-A new earthquake shook Ecuador last night in the wike of a series of shocks last Friday which devastated a large section of the country and left thousands dead.
 The Quito Observatory today de- scribed the latest tremor as being of considerable strength" and said it probably was rather strong in the already wrenched and battered area south of Quito.
 It was not determined at once what effect the new quake had in the region.
 Meantime, the government faced the problem of housing 100000 persons made homeless by Fridays earthquake which gutted 50 com munities and caused thousands of deaths.
 A spokesman for President Galo Plaza Lasso said the government had not yet been able to compile death list, but estimated that the toll might not exceed between 2,0O0 and 4,0O0. Previous estimates ranged up to 5000.
 The President announced Sunday that in the town of Pelileo alone some 32OO had perished.

Two Boys Are Missing From West yuneau
TO RENEW
 STATEHOOD
 ATTEMPTS

AP Special Washington Service
 WASHINGTON, Aug. R- Chairman Peterson D.Fla) of the House Public Lands Committee said today he has renewed his ef- forts to obtain House action on Hawaii and Alaska Statehood bills this session.
 Peterson told reporter he is making a new attempt to obtain approval of the two bills by the House Rules Committee.
 At the same time, he said, he is comforting with various Congress sional leaders to determine what would be the outcome of an at- tempt to call up the legislation under a special rule, bypassing the Rules, committee.
 The basis for his renewed efforts, Peterson said, is the result of recent newspaper poll of Members of Congress on the statehood pro- positions.
 The results of the poll, conducted by the Hearst Newspapers, were printed in the Congressional Record today as part of remarks by Rep. Larcade (D-La).
 Larcade said the poll shows that Congress is overwhelmingly in favor of granting statehood to Alaska and Hawaii by tabulation of approximately to 1'
 Both bills were approved months ago by the House Public Lands Committee.
 Peterson said that Monday, Aug. p, will be the last chance to call up the bills under special rules, unless the Rules Committee acts meanwhile.
 He said he nas asked Delegates Harrington (R-HawaiD and Bart lett CD-Alaska) to make indepen- dent checks of the House support for the two measures if they are brought up without Rules Commit tee approval.

 InDotk Strike

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-tR-Rep. Anderson (R-Calif) called today for government intervention in the Honolulu longshoremen's strike which he said was "the first step in Communist domination" of all American shipping.
 He said the United States should institute an airlift to take supplies to Honolulu.
 The strike, he said in a state ment, is "the direct result of a Communist inspired and Soviet di- rected blockade of the Hawaiian Islands"
 One group of Hawaiian mer- chants has chartered the Anchor age Transportation Company's deep-sea tug Myrtle Wilson to carry 5000 tons of relief food supplies by barge to Honolulu, the company said in Seattle yesterday.
 The shipment is expected to leave Seattle next weekend.
 The CIO International Long, shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union has agreed to unload the cargo, the company said.

TO CONFER ON EUROPE
 AID BILLS
By DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON. Aug 9-tR-The multi-billon dollar foreign recovery till sped toward final Congressional action today after stormy pas sage through the Senate.
 Lawmakers expected a Senate House Committee to reach quick agreement on the somewhat diff ferent versions the two branches have passed.
 The Senate approved its bill late yesterday by top-heavy 63 to 2 vote.
 Senators ended almost two weeks of wrangling to shake the measure free from the confusion which had blocked action on more than $20,- 0,000,000 in money bills in addi- tion to other legislation marked must" by the administration.
 When the final showdown came only six Republicans and one Democrat voted against the $5,- 97,724,o ,oOO measure.
 The lone Democrat was Johns- ton of South Carolina. The Repub- lican opponents were Capehart and Jenner of Indiana, Rem of Mis- souri, Langer of North Dakota, Ma lone of Nevada, and Williams of Delaware.
 NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE
 Despite all the sound and fury of debate, the Senate bill does not differ greatly from the House. approved measure. The Senate re- duced the money totals about 10 percent and added some amend ments-none of which is expected to cause much trouble.
 Rem made the final effort to amend the bill with a move to deny Economic Cooperation Ad- ministration aid to any nation which in the future nationalized basic industry.
 The amendment was drawn to throw brake on the British Labor governments socialization program.
 Rem argued that socialization in Britain is slowing down the re- covery effort. The United States, he said, should encourage private en- terprise not only at home but abroad.

VAUGHAN INVOLVED IN USE OF RESTRICTED
 MATERIALS AT TRACK

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. -tR- Housing Expediter Tighe Woods said today that Maj Gen. Harry H. Vaughan summoned him to the White House in 1948 and told him Vaughan's friends were interested in a California race track construc- tion case.
 Woods said the track owners then were trying to get government clearance for construction at the Tanforan track, near San Fran cisco, Calf. The use of scarce building materials was sharply re- stricted at the time.
 The Housing official told spec ial Senate Investigating committee that Vaughan, President Trueman's military aide, told him at the White House on January g, 1948:
 T want to make sure there is no prejudice in your office just be- cause this is a race track case"
 'OON"o coiA vaughan dlSO lOlQ him:
 Some friends of mine are in- terested and it is your duty to handle the case on its merits and on it's legality
 Francis D. Flanagan, as attor- ney for the committee, previously had read private memorandum saying Vaughan had stepped into the dispute. It quoted Vaughan as saying he was damn sore" at Frank L. Creedon, Federal Housing Ixpediter in 1947, for his handling of the case.
 Creedon was succeeded by Woods, who testified he had been Expedi- Or only little more than two months when Vaughan got in touch with him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-R- Sen. Vandenberg (R-Mich) today proposed a 50 per cent cash re- duction in the first years cost ot the Western European arms pro- gram.
 The Michigan Senator suggested to Secretary of Defense LouAl Johnson that about $580, 100000 be furnished in cash by Congress, with the balance in contract al- thorizations (to be met by later appropriations which would not be charged against the current budget.
 Vandenberg said he believes the budget President Truman sent to Congress for the 1850 fiscal year carries funds for European military aid which would cover almost all the money cost of the first year.
 But Johnson. appearing before 6 joint meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services com mittee, argued that the full amount -$1 ,450 000. .000-is needed to safe guard the security of the United States.
 Said Johnson:
 Should Western Europe be over run by hostile power and should it's vast industrial and manpower potentials he added to those of such an aggressor, the United States would stand isolated in a danger ously insecure period.
