Over 100, 900 Persons QUuIify for Disability
 Social Security Benefit

More than 100 thousand dis abled workers have been notified that they have qualified for so- cial security disability insurance benefits and will receive their first checks this month";, James G. Browne, manager of the Juneau Social Security office, announced today. Most of the checks were delivered August 3, the remainder will be mailed shortly"
 Social security benefit checks for any month are ordinarily de- livered on the third of the fol- lowing month. Because of the number of disability applica- tions, Browne said, it was i'm possible to get all checks out on August to all those entitled to disability benefits for the month of July.
 Those disabled workers whose applications can be approved in the near future will receive their first checks in coming months.
 All disabled workers eligible under the law and whose appli- cations are filed before the end of December 1857, will get bene- fit payments for the months of July through December of this year. Claimants filing after De- cember 1857 will not receive benefits for any time before the month of application.
 : To qualify for disability insur- ance benefits, person must be between 50 and 65 years of age and have long-lasting disabil- ity that prevents him from en- gazing in substantial activity. The law also provides that dis abled persons of any age who

NEW MRS. NEED NEW $. {. CARD

June, the month of brides, IS over. Many a fair maid has changed from a Miss to a Mrs. How many new brides there are is known only to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, and actually, we don't care" says James G. Browne, manager of the Social Security office in Juneau.
 However, whenever a person changes his name, the Social Se- curity Administration is concern ed. We want to know about it so we can bring our records up to date and to issue a new social security card. Even though a person isn't working or planning to work now, it is best to notify us."
 It is very easy to change rec ords to show new name and to issue new card. The form may be obtained from any post office or by writing to the Social Se- curity Administration, Box 1881, Juneau.

Sea Lions Seen As Potential Commercial Resource

Biologists of the Alaska De- pertinent of Fish and Game re- port that Alaska's sea lion popu- lation is now high. There are a few rookeries in Alaska where thousands of the animals congre- gate, and dozens of smaller rock cries where they number in the hundreds.
 Unfortunately, sea lions are a costly nuisance to fishermen, for they destroy quantities of sal mon, cod and hailbut after these fish have been hooked. Food habit studies show that scarp fish and squid form the prepon- derance of the animals year. round food supply.
 The sea lion reputation for fierceness is largely undeseryed, according to Biologist James w. Brooks, who recently spent sev- eral weeks on their rookeries. He has walked or rowed a small skiff among thousands of the animals without incident, though he warns that, like any wild animal when wounded or badly frightened, they are po- tentially dangerous. Brooks weighed many live pups, tagged them on the front flipper with cattle ear tags, and then re- leased them. It is hoped that better recovery of these tags will cast light on the animals migrations.
 While it has not appeared economically promising to har- vest sea lions in Alaska, this is.

a distinct possibility for the flu
 ture. Their flesh is known to Be
 be excellent for feeding on fur farms or for processing into food meal They possess a layer of blubber that contains useful oil and their hides, though frequent ly scared, make a leather suit able for many uses. Unqueslion- ably, these sea lions, which are a nuicance to fishermen and an interesting form of wildlife to the public in general, would be considered a valuable commer- cial resource if they were avail able to the Japanese or Soviets. As it is, they represent one more of Alaska's great undeveloped natural resources.

OTTAWA.-What does the fact
that q new Canadian government
took ofice Friday mean to the
Government and the people Of the
United States?
That question has been agitatink
american diplomats here and In
Washington since the Conservative
Party victory in the June 10 elec-
ton caught them completely by
surprise.
Prime Minister In the new gov.
eminent is John Diefenbaker, q
man virtually unknown outside of
Canada. The names Of his cabinet
ministers hitherto meant nothing
In Washington.
About the only leads In assessing
the new governments intentions
are its election platform and the
positions the Conservatives took
when they were the opposition in
Parliament. But what politicians
say when they are out Of ONCE
may differ from what they do when
they form the government.

Prime Minister since the confed-

baker found his first major duty

the judiciary "the grand inquisitor"
Of congressional investigations.
Thus. the ironic fact Is that the
Eisenhower administration. fight-
ing q rear-guard action to preserve
Its antisubversive program against
libertarian attack. must depend on
two Truman appointees Clark and
Burton-for support on the court.
The liberals are In q stronger
position than they have been in q
decade. Chief Justice Warren and
Justices Black. Douglas and Bren-
nan have to gain support from only
one more justice to constitute q
majority In any case. In civil lib
critics matters, Justices Harlan and
Frankfurter win often back them.
The Warren Black Douglas
Brennan coalition seems to hold
firm in antitrust cases; also. The
same four justices recently held
that du Pont has exercised illegal
monopolistic control over General
Motors.
Thus. this Capital. which boasts
many strange sights, has another
paradox to exhibit today: The spec
tacle Of q Republican President
unwittingly restoring the liberal
balance Of a Supreme Court which
had been pushed far to the right
by his Democratic predecessor.

about matters directly relating to
his availability for deportation. Jus
tice Clark dissented, but only Jus
tice Burton supported his view that
the Attorney General was being
stripped Of q vital power. ~
. The following week the justices
ruled that lawyer. could not be

animation merely because he was

Justice Clark was once again in

the convictions Of two men and q
woman accused Of harboring q
Communist who had fed in order
70 svoid q prison term for violating
the Smith Act. The guilty verdict
was overturned on the ground that
the FBI had conducted an illegal
search Of the defendants home.
Again Justices Clark and Burton
were in the minority.
. A week later, Justice Brennan
wrote the opinion which reversed
the conviction Of q labor leader
who was accused Of lying when he
swore In his Taft-Hartley affidavit
that he was not q Communist. Jus
tce Clark wrote q solo dissent, in
which he said: a.. Those intelli.

/ ROME.--It would be q grave and
costly error. in the view Of ohserv-
ers here, for Western strategists to
take africa for granted" in their
plans for frustrating Soviet am
billions for world domination.
In Africa, as in the Middle East,
Russia does not necessarily seek
raw materials for its own use. But
1t is interested In denying them, as
well as Africa's markets, and the
Royalties or friendship Of its go
million people. to the West.
Western nuclear development, tor
instance, could be seriously handi-
capped by loss Of the rich uranium
deposits Of the Belgian Congo. The
Vests industrial establishment is
heavily dependent on African man
ganese. gold. cobalt. diamonds, rub
Der. copper. tin and sisal. The
French have recently discovered
promising oil deposits In the Sa-
hara.
Conversely. the continent de-
ponds on the West for much Of its
grains and all or most Of the ma
chinery for its industrialization and
development, its textiles and con-
sumner goods.
Good Launching Sites
In this day Of guided missiles and
supersonic bombers the African
continent. bullying hugely westward
into the Atlantic, also provides ex-
cellent launching sites and bases
uncomfortably close to the south
eastern part Of the United. States,
the Panama Canal. the West Indies
and the South American continent
as far south as Rio de Janeiro.
The Soviet Union may be
counted on to try to disturb the
existing African Western relation
ship by creating conditions render
ing extraction Of vital raw materials
difficult or impossible and offering
more advantageous terms for the
supply Of machinery and consumer
goods from its own and satellite
stores. Actually the only ''machin-
cry" the USSR and Communist bloc
countries can supply quickly and
cheaply Is guns.
Using techniques successfully
tested In the Middle East, the
Soviet Unions campaign of pene-
tration Of Africa Is already well
under way. s
The Kremlin has captured
Egypt. whose support has made
possible the continued large-scale
resistance against the French In
North Africa. and is striving to ex-
pand its influence in Libya, the
Sudan and Ethiopia, where Soviet
diplomatic and commercial missions
already exist. It is trying mean
while to persuade the newly created
states Of Ghana, Tunisia and Mo-
rocco to exchange ambassadors and
do business"
Lock Of Encouragement
The West may derive some COM
fort from the fact that the Soviets
