Sen. Jackson Asks Mckay Why He Refused to Let Alaska RR. Build Spur

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Jack son D-Wash) has asked Secretary of the Interior Douglas Mckay for a report on why he refused to permit the Alaska Railroad to build a five-mile spur.
 Jackson, chairman of the Sen ate Interior subcommittee on Ter ritories, contended in a letter made public Saturday that Nc Kay's refusal was contrary to the recommendations of Interior De- pertinent experts, the Defense Department and the Territory of Alaska.
 The proposed spur was for de- velopment of coal reserves for military and civilian use.
 Jackson said he was acting for the subcommittee which received petition from Max Barash, a Washington attorney represent ing A. Ben Shallit, head of the Cripple Creek Coal Co.,, Fair banks.
 ''The case appears to warrant public hearing and inquiry in view of the committees reSpon- abilities for the development of Alaska" Jackson wrote.
 He said i've have a most inn pressive record of official find ing and recommendations" that construction of the spur twill re- suit in very substantial savings to the military, to the territory, and to civilian users, and that it will contribute to the security and rapid economic development of the area
 "The mere assertion that no funds were available will not be an adequate answer to the issue"

now payable on each employed
 wages up to the first $3,600 paid
 to him during any calendar year
 by any employer, but also benefit eligibility is now contingent
 among other things, upon the
 amount which the employee has earned in his calendar quarter o1 highest earnings.
 To explain further, under the old law any employee who earned $500 or more during a calendar year was eligible to receive at least some unemployment inSur- ance benefits, subject to the pro- visions of Sec. ', Chap. 99, SLA 1853. The new law requires that the individuals base period earn ings must equal at least IA times the amount he earned in his high est calendar quarter. In other words, during the period from July 3, 1855 (the date when the benefit payments portion of the new law becomes effective) to June 30, 1856 the individuals base period will be the calendar year 1854. If the individual earned during the calendar quarter July Aug. Sept. 1854 a total of S1,OOO he would have had to earn at least $250 during the other nine months of 1854. This amount of earnings would entitle him to S17 per week for no more than 22 weeks. If he earned S36O in the two months of July, Aug. and Sept, he would have to earn at least S90 during the other nine months in order to be eligible for S1O per week for a period not to exceed fifteen weeks. If he earned S3,2OO or more during the months Of July, Aug. and Sept, he would nave to earn at least $500 addi- tional in the other nine months of 1854 in order to qualify for $45 per week for period not to ex- ceed 26 weeks for an amount not

EXPLANATION OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY LAW ENACTED BY 22nd ALASKA LEGISLATURE

Following IS a working explan- ation of the new Employment Se- curity Law of Alaska enacted by 22nd Legislature:
 The rate of payroll tax to De paid by employers will continue to be 2.7 percent, but this rate will apply to the first S3,6OO of wages paid to an employee during any calendar year instead of to the first S3,OOO as under the pre- vious law. This change in the law becomes effective with respect to wages paid on or after January l, 1855.
 Another change is that employ CTS are now required to deduct from the wages of employees, up to the first $3,6O0 paid during any calendar year, an amount equal to one-half of one percent of said employees wages. This, too, is effective retroactively to January l, 1855.
 As was announced a few days ago, the Employment Security Commission postponed the mail ing to employers of employer con- tributiOn reports and wage sched- ule forms until such time as the legislature had concluded its eff forts to amend the Employment Security Law. Due to the radical changes mentioned above, it is now estimated that these report forms will be in the mail about April 20 and that employers will be given until May 20 to prepare their reports for the Jan.- Feb Mar. 1855 calendar quarter. Com plete instructions will be sent to each employer concerning the changes.
 It will be noted in the new re- port forms that information con- corning how much each employee earned during each calendar quar- ter is now required. This is made necessary not only for the reason above mentioned that taxes are

to exceed $117O.

to exceed S1I1U.
 Under the old law dependents were defined to include wives and also, under certain conditions, parents, older children and other near relatives, whereas, the new law limits dependents to unmar- ried children under Is years of age and unmarried children over IS years of age who because of in firmity are prevented from engag- ing in a gainful occupation and are principally dependent upon the claimant for support. This change in dependents definition takes effect on and after July 3, 1855, as do the other provisions with reference to benefit amounts.
 The disqualification provisions in the new law are practically the same as in the old law with the exception that the new law clear ly states that women workers who leave their jobs to follow their husbands or to get married are not eligible for unemployment insurance until after they have earned at least $12O in employ ment subsequent to the date that they voluntarily left their en- ployment. It also bars from unem- ployment insurance any claimant whose unemployment is found to be due to pregnancy and requires earnings of at least $l2O subse- quent to such unemployment be- fore she is again eligible.

Hands Down Decision

mOnths-Old, was fatally burned
when the car driven by Allen and
one driven by Richard G. Booth
cOllided on Route 80, north of Sea-
ford, the car of Booth catching fire
and burned the McPhail child so
badly it died The accident occurred
on August 8, 1854, and Allen was
indicted in the 1854 October Term
of Court.
The motion to quash asked that
counts /, 3, A and be quashed.
The decision of Judge Richards
granted the motion to strike counts
3 and 4 of the indictments which
were driving in a wilful and wan
ton manner in disregard of the
safety of others and driving at a
speed greater than reasonable and
prudent under existing conditions. E"
The plea to strike out counts 1
and 6 of the Indictment were de-
MED. Those counts were: failure
to keep proper lookout while driv-
ing" and failure to control speed
of the car as necessary to avoid
a collision with another car"
The other counts contained in
the manslaughter indictment, which
were not contained in the motion
to quash were: operating a car
while under the influence of alco-
hOlic liquor and driving in excess
of so miles an hour.
In arguing the motion to uuash
the indictment, counsel for Allen
contended the Indictment did not
contain proper details and infor-
nation on the counts contained
therein and that the State had
failed to give specific information
and details on the violations con-
tanned in the several counts Of
the indictment. The State, repre-
sented by Mr.. O'DOnneH, argued
that all pertinent facts and details
as required under the new rules of
the Court, had been met in the in
dictment and asked the Court to
deny the motion.
