NEW CLAIM TO FAME FOR TEXAS?

Texas may be about to be eclipsed by Alaska as the largest state in the Union, but Texans apparently are preparing a new claim to fame, according to the Alaska Development Board.
 What Texan s@ems to be after now is recognition as the coldest state in the Union.
 Among inquiries received this week at the Alaska Development Board office in Juneau was one from two girls, ages 13 and IA, at Grand Prairie, Texas, asking the price of Eskimo coats"
 We thought we might be able to buy one, the girls wrote, be cause this Texas weather is get ting us down. We don't see how the ESkimoS stand the cold, for we freezs down here"

Self-EmPioyed Have Soc. See. Coveraue

Jams G. Browne, Manager Of the SOcIal Security AQmIuIStra- ton, recently remIndcQ SGIl-u1n- pIOyed people that most CI tHCm are earning Credt toward Ted eral Old-age ana SurVIVOTs In- Surdnce D~glnnlng Tn lJ0l. IIe announced the issuance of q new booklet telling in plain language how the law now affects people WWhWo own thcIr own DUSIuCSS or work for themselves, and ex- plainlng how the self employed Ill make their first reports early next var on theIr earnings, for sOcIal security purposes.
 As with other gainIulIy em- ployed people in commerce and industry" Browne said, social security coverage of the Selt-em- ployed is not optional. If the in dlVldual'S s employment meets the terms of the law, he is covered and must make his social sccur- ity tax r. port for l951, as part of his income tax return due by Maltn iy, 1o52.'
 Tie ncW, booklet entitled Do You Work for Yourself" is now available at every social security office. IL explains that self-em- ployed people who earn $400 or more in year are covered by the law, with the exception of farm operators, doctors, la%y rs, dentists, professional engineers, lull-time pubic accountants, and certain other professional people.
 Under the new law, the per son who owns his own trade or business now builds up Old-age and survivors insurance prightS just as employees S, including cor poratiOn executives, have been doing for 15 years. This little booklet gives examp ples oi month ly benefits for retired self-cm- plOyed people of up to S8O for a single p,rSun or up to S120 for a couple The family of a self employed man will be protected, in case of his death, with insur- ance benefits tip to $50 month"
 The Social Security Mauag pmphaSiZed that more than four million people are now recQlVInE monthly insurance payments, some as retired workers and oth- CTS as dependents or surViVors.
 Tn booklet points out that every sclf-cmployed person should be sure that he has his own personal social security card before the 1851 income tax report is due The card, or dup licate to replace one that has been lost, can be secured at any social security office. Amount of the social security tax for 1851 is 2 I 2o of net earnings up to $35G0. In the case of the person whose earnings are $400 for the year 1851, the tax will be $9; for the person who earns S3600 or more from self-employment in 1851, the amount of the tax is S81.
 About 4,6OO,O0O persons are believed to be included in these provisions, said Browne They represent the largest new group brought into old-age and sur vivors insurance covcrage by the 1850 amendments to the Social

Alaska's Survival Record

Alaska's s Survival Record
 So far as 1 can determine, there Is but one recorded case oI passengers meeting death cntir-- ly as a result of exposure, who were occupants Of civilian airplane. There are two or three doubtful cases, where exposure may have hastencu the death of injured passengers before being rescued. There is but one expo sure death of a pilot recorded.
 This is indeed a good record, and goes back 70 the days of 1924, when algplulCs were first introduced to Alasi.a.
 Flying operations within Alas ka were developed by class of pilots now known as bush pilots Mos! of thv>a pilots, in tl.c l,uss days consisted o4 l>co- pie who were already expert euceu ln Arctic life L~Iorc ..l,y learned to fly, CT before tin y put their flying ability to use They were men who came to Alaska as miners, engineers, trappers, laborers, fish rmen, salesmen, and, even as pilots Many of the present bush pilots were born and raised in Alaska.
 These mn were self-sufficient anywhere in Alaska, either with or without an airplane. When their operations expanded so that they found it necessary to hire "Outside' pilots, they train ed these pilots from their own direct knowledge.
 Lat ly a new kind of flying has been developing in Alaska. Private flying Student pilots and private pilots are buying aiTplancs for their own use. Many of these are recent arrivals in Alaska, without previous Alaskan experience. They are too many in numbers for the di- rect transfer of instruction from the personal exp ricnce of the "olIfimcrs."
 The good survival record Of the bush pilots was no accident. A continued good survival rec ord among the newer pilots de ponds upon sound common sense and the application of lessons learned by wilderness survivors through the past many years.
 I hope to pass on in these col umns, some of the principles long since adopted by the old timers. They are their ways, and 1 am but the teller of them.

Washington Alumni
Denounce Virginia
Football Report
BY the Asseeioied Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov
10.-The University of Virginia s
Washington Alumni Chapter to-
day sharply denounced as "un-
timely and unjustified" a recent
faculty report calling for deem
phasis of football at the univer-
sity.
The faculty report, issued a
month ago, called for the uni
versity's return to less profess
sional team" 1t condemned the
schools "inadequately controlled
big-time football policy"
The Washington Alumni Chap
ter in its rebuttal endorsed the
present athletic policy and op-
poses any changes therein"
The chapter said it "resents
the assumption in the report that
alumni are not vitally interested
in the intellectual honesty and
educational integrity of the uni
versity." The policy of providing
scholarships "for honorable and
deserving boys" was praised as
working "to the great credit OF
the university, student body,
alumni and public, without one
breath of scandal"
Therefore, the chapter added,
"we deplore and condemn untime-
ly and unjustified statements as
to de-emphasizing football at Vir-
ginia at this time"

Senator KEN AssaiIs
State Department on
War Goods 10 Reds
BY fhs Assoeiosed Press

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10.-United
States Senator KEN, Republican,
of Missouri. charged today that
"the State Department is trying
to whitewash India's shipment of
critical war goods to Red China. :"
In statement to the press, he
renewed his demand that Con-
gress investigate reports that In
dia is trans-shipping United States
war goods to Communist China.
Senator KEN said State De-
Ipartment spokesman last week as
serted there was no evidence to
support the Senator's charge.
Cites Goods to Poland.
|''1 am not surprised that the
State Department has not seen
fit to object to India shipping
war material to Communist
China" the Senator said.
1T can scarcely do so. so long
las the administration is author
lizing and justifying the shipment
Iof truck parts to Communist Po-
land. 1t is significant that
the State Department does not
deny that India is selling strate-
Igic war material to Communist
China. 1t simply says that the
State Department has no evidence
to support the charge.
II do have evidence"
Confirmed by Subcommittee.
Senator KEN said the Senate
Subcommittee on export controls
and policies has confirmed the
fact" that critical materials are
being shipped from India to
China.
He said Senator O'Conor, Demo-
ocrat, of Maryland, subcommittee
chairman. reported last July 81
ION the basis of data brought
back from the Far East bv a
subcommittee investigator
ships loaded at Calcutta and Ka-
rachi have delivered highly stra-
teglc material to Communist
China.
Senator KEN called for a full
congressional investigation "of this
deplorable situation" and said he
would demand such an inquiry

Government stocks would be suit
able for military use.
The subcommittee recognizes
that nothing more can be done
about the past. but adds:
Both departments may in the
future buy dried eggs. In view o1
this. their specifications should be
made more similar. The two pur.
chase programs should not be
continued on dual standards"
The subcommittee described as
an intolerable duplication" the
practice of sending an Army In
spector to grade poultry already
inspected by a man from Agri-
culture.
The report quotes one poultry
professor as saying many dealers
hesitate to sell to the Army be-
cause Of the delays caused by in
spectors.
The Army position is that the
poultry grading service of Agri-
culture is confined to grading
based on commercial standards
Again the subcommittee points
out that if the two departments
had the same standards, this
duplication of inspection could
be eliminated. Even with differ
ent standards. the subcommittee
concluded that the Agriculture
Department inspectors could be
made competent to handle the in
spection of Army purchases.
The report closed with a request
that the Defense, Army and Agri-
culture Departments conduct a
thorough survey to find out to
what extent earlier recommended
tions for closer cooperation have
been carried out.
