Social Security
Representative
To Be In Nome
Edward Paluska, representing
the Alaska office of the Social Se
curity Administration, expected to
arrive in Nome Wednesday, No
vember 10, to remain several days.
He will most likely arrive on the
Pan American Sunday.
All persons who have any ques
tions or wish information concern
ing Federal Old-Age and Surviv
ors Insurance should make every
effort to contact Mr. Paulska while
he is here.
It is particularly important
that men and women who have
reached the age of 65 years, and
■who have worked in employment
covered by the Social Securiety
Act, take this opportunity to in
quire regarding their individual
benefit rights. Mr. Paluska points
out that the Social Security ad
ministration is anxiuos to protect
the interests of all workers and
their families, but that nothing
can be done unless workers who
reach the age 65 make sure to con
tact promptly the social security
office. A signed application must
be filed before any payments can
be made.
It is also important that the
families of deceased wage earn
ers make inquiry as to possible
old-age and survivors insurance
benefits immediately after the
•death of the worker. Each year,
thousands of dollars in cash bene
fits are lost by American workers
«nd their families solely through
delay in contacting the social se
curity office.
Mr .Paluska can be reached at
the Wallace Hotel during his stay
here.

Ship Ammunition
For China Aid
BREMERTON, Wash. (A3) — A
naval attack cargo ship was re
ported to have sailed from the
naval ammunition depot near here
.wo days ago with a large cargo of
small arms ammunition for China.
The Bremerton Sun and the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer both re
ported the sailing. The newspapers
said the shipment was reportedly
bound for China. Naval sources
refused to comment.
The newspapers said loading in
o naval attack transports at the
naval depot at nearby Bangor has
been carried on the last eight days
on a two-shift basis with 150 men
employed. The cargo of the first
hip was listed as 1,800 tons of
.30 and .45 caliber ammunition.
The Post-Intelligencer also quoted
its Washington bureau as saying
hat the consignment was known
to include 42 P-47 fighter planes.
Both Chinese and American
sources in Washington have re
ported that the first major ship
ment of American guns and am
munition to China since the com
munist sweep in Manchuria was
nearly ready for departure. The
