Employers may prepare and retain copies of the statements for their own files if they choose Representatives of ESC, who come to Wrangell every two weeks from Petersburg, will furnish local residents with any of the above forms.
 Hedges points out that the main purpose in furnishing employees with Statements of Deduction is to provide each with information which may indicate overpayment Jf his contributions, and thus en- title him to refund by the Con- mission. Only two catagories of en- 9loyees will be entitled to refunds. Those who work for more than one employer in Alaska during 1855 and are paid wages aggregating in excess of S9,600 and those to whom total wages paid during 1855 a. mount to less than $450O0. En- ploye's applications for refund will be accepted by the Commission any time during 1856.
 Another provision of the law re- ceiving special attention by em- ployerS is to the effect that no prime contractor shall pay any in debtedneSs to a subcontractor until the latter pays all unemployment tax due the Commission. The law further provides that failure of the subcontractor to pay such tax automatically renders the prime contractor liable therefor. Some contractors have contacted the Territorial Employment offices in thls connection and have asked for cert1fication of any amounts due the Commission by subcontractors. Hedges states that all requests for certification should be addressed to the Commissions central office In Juneau where all employers re- cords are kept, and where prompt acton will be taken in response

Some Things Truman Didn't Say

wasn't necessary and that
mere purchase of extra copies
of a union newspaper contain
ing political news and edito-
rails or statements advocating
a candidates election wasn't
a financial expenditure barred
by the law. Justice Reed
pointed out that Senator Taft.
in explaining his amendment
to the Corrupt Practices Act,
had declared that no such ex-
penditure would be barred
because it was a unions right
to publish a newspaper of its
own and to say what it pleased.
The new point that has
arisen. and whichsthe Supreme
Court didn't settle, in the case
that was dismissed by Justice
Reeds opinion seven years
ago. is related to whether an
expenditure for a particular
radio program on which a
political speaker appears con-
stitutss a direct contribution
barred by the law. If the ra-
dio program is regularly used
throughout a long period to
eSpouse the views of a union
and a speaker who happens to
be a candidate talks on the
program, it is difficult to see
how it can be held that this
would be a political expendi-
ture but. from the viewpoint
Of all concerned, it is better to
have a test case brought to
resolve the issue than TO leave
it undecided, which means
some who could properly buy
radio time might hesitate to
do so.
1t seems unfortunate that
Mr.. Truman would condemn
the Eisenhower administra-
ton for bringing a test case
wher under his own admins
tration. the same thing was
done in an election year-and
presumably for the same
reason, namely. to determine
the exact limits of the law

Chancellor Konrad .Ade-
nauer will journey to Moscow
Friday for talks with the Rus
sian leaders on the future Of
Germany. While the osten-
sible scope of the talks will be
limited to the discussion of the
restoration of diplomatic, eco
nomic and cultural relations
between the Soviet Union and
West Germany, it is obvious
that almost anything could
properly be included in so
vaguely worded an agenda, and
most certainly will be.
Mr.. Adenauer appears to be
in a very unhappy situation
with respect to the probable re-
suits of the talks. The Rus
sian bosses. even since the
Geneva summit conference of
July. have made 1t plain in
several ways that the Commu-
nists are not about to suggest
or permit the Identification of
Germany in any way likely
to deprive Moscow Of a key sat
elite. Moreover, they have
clearly indicated that they still
expect a Communist Germany
one day. and are openly refer
ring to Communist East Ger
many as the base for future
Red expansion throughout all
Of the former Reich.
But Bonn officials who en-
joy the confidence Of the aging
Chancellor say that he, is far
from discouraged. He Is going
to the Soviet capital. these
informants say. with q wait
and-see attitude not at all
devoid Of optimism. His at
titude has been summed up
In his own remarks: you

dish Is going to be. Better

Western. observers would do
well to remember that Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-09-07

enacted a war victim assistance
law under which 1t currently Is
paying out over 3 billion marks
($714 million) annually. It is
this law that is now under fire
from the war victims, who claim
Its payments are too small and
do not reflect spiraling living
costs.
AS one step toward easing the
pension load, the Bonn govern
Iment is experimenting with a
law making 1t mandatory for in
Idustry to hire disabled persons.
Under the law, private and
public employers must hire a
certain quota of persons who
are so per cent or more tncapac-
Iitated. The quota is 8 per cent
for most private firms and 10
per cent in public administra-
ton and private banking and
insurance.
Since the ability of individual
agencies and firms to comply
with the law varies, the quotas
may be altered by government
ordinance.
If a private employer fails to
meet his quota. he is required to
pay so marks a month for each
untitled job under the quota to
the governments welfare fund.
Employers can also discharge
their obligations under the law
by providing housing where it is
needed to facilitate the employ
ment of severely disabled per-
sons.
The law covers all disabled
persons. In addition to war VIC

imately 10000 persons disabled
