ais office, conducted the hear
ings.
The first arraignment was
slowed somewhat by the language
barrier. Mrs. Kinuko Perkins,
wife of a Serviceman on the naval
station, acted as interpreter, but
experienced difficulty in convey
ing the Courts wishes to the ac-
cused and the latter's explanations
to the Court.
The Court set bail at $4,000,
but ordered the two vessels seized
and be held in lieu of bail. The
skipper of the mother ship was al
lowed to return to his ship on his
own recognizance with the stipu-
lation that he return when called
upon.
The three men were brought UP
for arraignment Tuesday. Sue
man Moon, a Korean born in Japan
but now Kodiak resident, acted
as interpreter, translating the
charges against the men, and as
sisting in breaking down the lang
uage barrier. One hitch in the
proceedings developed when it was
discovered the wrong name had
been attached to the papers served
on the captain of the second catch
er boat. The name appearing was
Tadashi Abe, which should have
read Satoshi Mine. BY consent of
the defense counsel and prosecu-
ton this was changed.
Bail of $500 was asked by the
State Attorney General Judge
Fitzgerald suggested the Captain
of the mother ship be allowed to

A part of the statement follows:
'4The State of Alaska has seized

None of the crew members or YES

could mean a fine up to $4,000.
Some Alaskans and nonresident
Americans have been fined as
as much as $4,000 per vessel for
unlawful fishing.

Kodiak was the scene of an
arraignment which may have in
ternational repercussions and may
be the forerunner of trial that

ar5hips for qualified high school
students of this area has been
presented to Sidney High School
and Fairview High School by
Richland Unit No. II of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
This revised publication for the
1961-62 school year is recognized
as one of the most complete sour

The handbook does not limit its
listings to children of Veterans
but contains scholarships and edu-
cational aids which are available
to all students.
Mrs. Sorensen, Education and
Scholarship Chairman of the
American Legion Auxiliary, Rich
land Unit No. IL, stated that
thousands of young people have
net taken advantage of the gen

available due to a failure to plan

II want to freeze my social Sc
curity account" is a statement
frequently made by callers at the
Billings social security office.
These people usually are not
working or ire engaged in non
covered employment.
The frequency of these requests
indicates a widespread miSunder-
standing of this aspect of the law,
according to Glenn Gardner, man.
ager of the Billings district office.
The Social Security Act pro-
vides a freeze" only for totally
and permanently disabled persons
who are insured. However, nearly
all of these people qualify for cash
benefits, and the disability freeze
alone is seldom applicable. There
is no provision for a 'ifreeze" for
persons whose earnings are re-
duced or cease entirely from COW
cred employment or Self-employ-
ment. There never has been such
a provision for non-diSabled per-
sons under 65 years of age.
individuals who have become
disabled to the extent that they
can no longer engage in any SUD
stantial gainful activity should
contact Ray Jelle, field represen-
tative, regarding possible benz
fits, Gardner advises. Those who
had 5 or more years of covered
earnings in the 10 years immedi-
ately before they became disabled
may qualify for benefits. The
only age limit for disability pay
ment is IS. After that age, retire
ment rather than disability bene-
fits, r payable.
