Unmarried Minor
Children OF Deceased
Veterans Eligible

Unmarried minor children of
deceased veterans may be eligible
for pension payments even when
their mother, the veterans widow,
is not eligible, Wayne Sanders,
Manager of Arizona VA Regional
Office. reminded today.
Most frequent examples occur
when the widow becomes ineligi-
BILE due to remarriage or receives
income in excess of the legal limit.
Tneligibility of the widow does not
affect the eligibility Of the minor
children.
No problem arises when widows
on the pension rolls become in
eligible, Sanders pointed out, be-
cause pension payments are stop
ped to the widow but continued
to the eligible minor children.
But if the widow has not ap-
Nplied for a pension, knowing that
she is not eligible, or if her ap-
plication was not allowed, the VA
has no record Of any minor chill
dren who may be eligible.
Unmarried children of deceased
veterans are eligible for pension
payments until they are Is, or
until age 81 if they are attending
school, provided their own per-
sonal incomes would not bar them.
Complete information may be
obtained at any VA office.

NEW YORK. = The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People has appealed
to the Soviet Union for clemency
in the cases of Is Soviet citizens,
at least IL of them Jews, convict
ed and sentenced to death by
shooting for various alleged eco
nomic offenses. ;"
In a letter to Anatoli F. Dobry-
min, Soviet Ambassador to the
United States, Bishop Stephen
Gill Spottswood, chairman of the
NAACP Board of Directors, cited
the predominance of Jews among
the convicted men as an indication
that the Soviet Union 'utilizes the
weapon of group persecution ano
discrimination in its attempts tC
secure and maintain power.
The letter, dated April 6 and
made public today, appeals ''for
clemency and communication for the
fifteen sentenced death.
The full text of the letter fol-
lows:
April 6, 1862
Hon. Anatoli F. Dobrynin
Ambassador of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics
lbs 10th Street
Washington. D. C.
Sir:
Representing, as it does,
group which has long suffered
the troubles of discrimination
and segregation, the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People con-
siders with increased concern
the fate of Soviet Jewry. The
shocking events of recent weeks
within the Soviet Union have
brought the situation to a pass
which forces us to speak out in
protest. The actions of the
Soviet Union again bear wit
ness to the fact that totali-
tarianism in any form, to the
left or to the right, utilizes
weapon of group persecution
and discrimination in its at
tempt to secure and to main
tain power.
Since last July, fifteen Soviet
citizens have been sentenced
to death by shooting for vari-
GUS alleged economic offenses,
such as currency speculation
and black marketeering. At
least twelve, and probably
more, of them are Jews.
Many of them were sent
enced to death for offenses
committed at a time when the
law did not call for capital
punishment. In at least three
cases, a lesser penalty, meted
out upon conviction, was in
creased to capital punishment

 Has High Praise For Carpentel,

MOSCOW tH Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev, opening an Italian industrial fair, toda v praised American astronaut Mal- colrn Scott Carpenter and said the Soviet Union now is not alone in the cosmos. His remarks came as the Soviets shot another unnamed satellite into orbit.
 Scores of Italians and Soviets, clustered around the speakers stand, heard the Soviet leader praise Italian industry, but spent most Of the half -hour talk on Car penterts orbital flight.
 Khrushchev said Carpenter dis played great courage and fortitude.
 The Soviet premier congratulated Americas two spacemen, John H. Glenn Jr. and Carpenter, adding:
 T especially congratulate the second one on his courage and for titude in situation when he could have burned up if something went wrong, or drowned in the sea-
 He scoffed at the scientists who directed the latest flight for the incident when Carpenters space suit heated up.
 ssThey couldn't give him any better advice than drink as much water as possible" he said.
 The Italian fair was held in the pavilion built by the United States for its big exhibition and bought afterward by the Soviets.
 Khruschev severely criticized the American fair. which he said had made the worst possible impression on the Russian people ssbecause there was nothing but propaganda in it.D
 He complained that the Kitchen in which he debated with Vice President Richard Nixon was a propaganda take.
 The kitchen was created to sur prise Russians" he said. sBut ' did not"

Gov. Egan Refuses Japanese Right to Fish in Sllelikof

JUNEAU lR 7 Gov Wn. Egan refused yesterday to permit a Japanese fleet to fish in Shelikof Strait despite a plea from the fleets commander that such a refusal would mean huge losses for his ern- ployers.
 Yanaki Hisao radioed the gov- ernor yesterday from the mother ship Banshu Maru 31. He said the fleet, made up of five catcher boats and the mothership, has made no catch since arriving March "A.
 He asked permission to fish in the strait for three weeks, saying the Japanese firm which operates the boats would incur a huge loss from a complete failure.
 The governor said it was inn possible to grant such permission because case arising from the states arrest of three shippers of the Japanese boats is still before the courts. In any case, he said, he could not grant such authority to unlicensed fishermen with unli- censed gear.
 Egan repeated the states con- tention that Shelikof Strait, lying between Kodiak Island and the. Alaska Peninsula, constitutes an in- land water subject to regulation by the 18th State.
 ssrhe State of Alaska bears no i'll will toward the officers and fish, errnen of your fleet but urges fnal your fishing companies use req
 sonabIe discretion as to location of North Pacific fisheries effortss Egan said.

F atElcr Hubbard, Glacier Priest, Dies

SANTA CLARA, Calf. R The Rev. Bernard Hubbard, B. famed Glacier Priest" died today of a heart attack at his home.
 Father Hubbard, associated with University of Santa Clara, gained his title of Glacier Priest be- cause of the scientific expeditions he headed to the Arctic regions.
 Father Hubbard started the work that made him a world renowned authority on glaciers and other Arctic phenomenon in 1927. He led his first expedition to Alaska that year. He continued going to the northern Arctic every summer, ex- cept for one year during the war and in 1855. His research was utilized by the United States gov- ernment.
 He studied for the priesthood at the Jesuit Novitate at Los Gatos and, in 1921, went to Austria to study at the University of Inns bruck. For four years he devoted his spare time to exploring the Tyrolean Alps.
 Iii 1925, he returned to Santa Clara and in 1927 made his first
 expedition to Alaska His maps, charts and weather studies made him a recognized authority on
 Alaska.
 During World War II he was called on by the armed forces to help map the area. Later he served as chaplain in the European ttiiieatter Of opera si ti ti it1as. t1 One of his Alaskan trips, II 1 1948, took him with the Navy t search for an uncharted island h, had sighted in the Arctic His status, at the University ol Santa Clara was professor oi geology.

Stock Market Has Black Monday 7 Suffers Heavy Loss

NEW YORK R -- The mightiest avalanche of selling in g years slugged the stock market into an- other severe loss today.
 It was a sBlack Monday" for investors who saw billions of dol lars in stock values go down the drain.
 The New York Stock Exchanges high speed ticker tape ran rec ord 69 minutes late as transactions piled up. The greatest previous lags were 34 minutes.
 This was the 9th straight day of decline as measured by the Asso- ciated Press average Of SO stocks.
 Blue chip stocks gilt-edge is sues which have long been con- sidered the wheelhorses Of the nar ket were seriously battered, some losing several dollars a share.
 What has been described by some Wall Street experts as panic among investors w1lirled to a peak of selling.
 An emotional upset, such as being experienced, often feeds on itself" an investment advisory service pointed out. aMore and more holders become panicky and sell to protect vanishing profits or to prevent losses from mounting. The movement gains momentum and almost invariably is carried to an extreme. z
 The sell-off ranked right alonf l with that experienced Sept. 26
 Ia5s that ss!!sssss I2ssasis!ssa Dwight Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack. On that day 7.71 million shares were sold. Harried brokers blamed the selling frenzy on a host of factors, They said investors were losing confidence in the outlook for busi-
 ness, some feeling that a reces- sion is ahead in 1863. There was anxiety, too, that the profit squeeze on business will be frightened by the Kennedy admin istration's attitude toward business as exemplified by it's attack which forced the steel industry to with draw $6-a-ton price increase.
 The biggest buyers of stock, the mutual funds, pension funds and investment trusts, have turned a portion of their holdings into cash and higher yielding bonds, and are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to stabilize before getting back in.
 In brokerage offices across the nation anxious share owners stared at falling prices as the ticker tape flashed on screens.
 Margin calls were taking their toll of people who had borrowed money to buy stocks. The current margin requirement is a down pay ment of TO per cent cash. With many stocks having lost 30 per cent or more from their 1862 highs, l lenders were calling for more money to cover the purchased stock. If it wasn't forthcoming, l they sold the stock.
