Dear Editor:

Yes! l have the right to vote,

The company recognizes that
with a persons basic rights, he
also has the right to expect a
new employee to share equally
with his fellow workers in the
responsibility of that union.
The propaganda on radio and
TV would have the public think
that Labor" is in one camp, bitter

is not true. Many experts or

management by obstructing their
methods of dealing with unions.
Clear thinking people will rally
to the support of their fellow

terror motive on an unscrupulous
few in placing an issue of this
kind before the public. Quoting

YOU AND YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Family Protection Plan


 Since the inception of the So- cial Security Law some 2I years ago the program has grown tc the place where nine out of every fO working people are covered by social security Tom Burtacher- field representative of the Jun- eau Social Security office. said this week.
 "Do you know what benefits are payable ito you or your fam ily under this protection plan2 These benefits may be a retire ment benefit, a survivors bene- fit. ~ disability benefit, depend ent parents benefit, or some other type of payment
 "You would fully inform your wife concerning any life insur- ance policies you have" Burtsch- er said, +'yet many people never think to do the same with the information needed to apply for security benefits in the event of your death. Keep your social se- curity number, military service record, earnings records, and self employment records in some con- venient place and let your wife know that she should bring these records to the Social Securit. off -fice in the event of your death In many eases the total social se- 'curity payments will be far more than the regular life insurance you carry.n
 Old-age, survivors, and disabil- ity insurance benefits are being paid M Alaska at the rate Of $3,- 093, 900 year, according to Ever { ell ~. Cummins, manager of the Social Security district office in Juneau
 This is an increase of about 20 percent over last year when benefits were paid at a rate Al S2, ,580,OO0,' Cummins said,
 There are several reasons fol the increase in benefits over last i year. according to Gummins. One # is the reduction in the retirement age to 62 for women Another cause was the starting of dis ability insurance benefits to dis abled people age 30 or over Also q continued rise in the number ot older people retiring in Alaska ]. accounts for part of the increase
 A total Wi 1863 residents of AT aska now receive monthly insur- ance payments under the social security program as retired workers, wives, husbands, Wid- ows, Widowers, surviving children and parents of deceased workers and disabled workers.

the idea of disarmament neeo-
tiations or consultations be-
tween individual states, for in
stance between the USSR and
the United States of America,
insofar as these facilitate an
agreement and do not harm
any particular state.
Then. In his message to Pres
ident Eisenhower, the Soviet
Prime Minister dWells on the
concrete questions that could
be taken UP at the proposed
meeting of heads Of states. II
could consider. with hope of
! success. such urgent disarma-
ment questions as the immedi-
ate discrimination Of atomic
and hydrogen weapon tests for
at least two or three years and
a rejection of the use of these
weapons by the governments
of the USSR. the United States
Of America and Britain.
Another question that could
be thrashed out is the Polish
proposal for the creation of a
zone free Of atomic weapons In
Europe. This zone would en-
brace the territory Of Poland
Czechoslovakia. Federal Ger
many and East Germany. The
creation of. such a zone. in the
opinion OF the Soviet govern
ment. would be an important
step towards the complete pro-
hihition of nuclear weapons
Other important questions that
could come up at such a meet
ing. in the opinion of the Soviet
government, are the conclusion
in one form or another of a
aggression pact between
the NATO countries on the one
hand and the Warsaw pact
countries on the other and also
the question Of putting an end
to war propaganda. In spite OF
U. Ms well-known decision
condemning war propaganda
Bulganin stresses that such
propaganda. far from abating
in certain NATQ countries. is
becoming even more outspoken.

ill-considered appeals for a So
called preventive war and open
discussions of the ADVANTAGES

danger of such appeals becomes
