Will Not Receive
Experience Rating
Credit for 1950-51
During the past three years,
qualified employers were allowed
varying amounts of credit to be
used as an unemployment insur
nce tax off-set. The total amount
of credit was based on a surplus
in the Unemployment Insurance
Trust Fund. Recently, the Em
ployment Security Commission
notified employers that no surplus
existed for use during the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1950.
The law is specific and gives
the commission no regulatory
powers with respect to the deter
mination of “surplus” for credit
rating purposes. Before credits
can be issued, there must be a
surplus in the fund which exceeds
lO''! of the contributions for the
calendar year, 1949. It was deter
mined that a deficit in the amount
of $389,416.85 existed on March
15, 1950, which is the cut-off date
for experience rating purposes.
While it is too early to predict
whether a surplus will exist on
March 15, 1951, it appears at this
time that a similar situation will
exist on that date—particularly
if benefits paid and contributions
received are on the same levels
as 1949.
Employers now having a bal
ance of Experience Rating Credit,
may apply such credit for the
quarter ending June 30, 1950, not
later than July 31, 1950. Contribu
tions for the quarter ending Sep
tember 30, 1950, and all calendar
quarters thereafter must be paid
in full by all employers.

Move I5-!>6 Group
To Spokane. Wash.
—
WASHINGTON, »/P)—A group
of big B-3U intercontinental bomb
ers is to be moved to Spokane,
Wash., within easy reach of stra
tegic U. S. air bases in Alaska.
This would place the heavy
weights within combat range of
railway and industrial centers in
Soviet Siberia. By refueling over
1 Alaska they could extend their
! reach.
Plans to transfer the bombers
into the Northwest were disclosed
by the air force this week in an
announcement that the 92nd Bomb
Wing would be re-equipped with
B-36’s. The 92nd is one of two
B-29 superfortress wings stationed
at Spokane.
The B-36’s, which the air force
says can carry 10,000 pounds of
bombs 5,00 miles and return, will
start moving into the Northwest
next year. Eventually the wing
will have 30 of the heavyweights.
Announcement of the move
ment pointed up the recent air
force decision to transfer fightcr
intercepter wing headquart e r s
and two squadrons of North
American F-86 Sabres—swift jet
fighters—from Albuquerque, N.
M., to Moses Lake, Wash. This
would place the jets in defense
range of the Spokane base.
The air force also announced in
March that three other fighter
squadrons stationed in Washing
ton State are to be re-equipped
with radar-carrying jet n ;nes
Equipment of the Spokane
Wing with B-36’s will give the U.
S. the full B-36 organizational
sertngth outlined to Congress by
W. Stuart Symington, former air
secretary.
Two other B-36 bomb wings
have been designated previously
at Fort Worth, Texas, and ore at
Fairfield-Suisun Air Base in Cal
ifornia. These three wings already
have some of the 30 operational
planes assigned them.

CAB Not Interested
111 “Non-Seheds^
Commission Battle
—
SEATTLE, (/P) — A dispute
broke int(» the open yesterday be
tween Seattle non-scheduled air
lines flying to Alaska and some
travel agencies.
Amos Heacock, president of Air
Transport Associates, Inc., and al
so president of the Independent
Air Carriers Conference of Amer
ica, placed a warning in the help
wanted classified advertising sec
tion of the Post-Intelligencer.
“Don’t spend your last dollar to
fly to Alaska for a job before you
investigate.” the ad said. “Consult
your local union or write the Ter
ritorial government employment
service in Anchorage first. Pub
lished as a public service by Air
Transport Associates, Inc.”
Heacock said a few travel agen
cies started the war.
These agencies, he said, began
carrying out threats to bring in
aircraft from Los Angeles, New
York and Miami to haul construc
tion men to Alaska instead of pa
tronizing Seattle-based non-sched
uled airlines. He said the reason
was because the non-scheds re
cently refused to boost flight tick
et commissions from 10 to 20 per
cent.
Heacock said bis company, with
Golden North, Arnold Air Service
and Trans-Ocean Airlines, hnvi
demanded Civil Aeronautics Board
investigation of practices of the
travel agencies and the out-of
town air carriers concerning so
licitation of job-seekers.
“The CAB has been informed
of this situation but so far it has
accomplished nothing," Heacock
said. “It has an investigator
named Queens here, but the CAB
seem to be more interested in the
frequency and regularity with
which we are operating than it is
in protecting the public.”
The Post-Intelligencer said it
contacted a man who said he is
Queens, he refused to be quoted,
questioned the reporter’s right to
take notes, and the interview was
terminated.

The study of Alaska that Miss
Adams has been assigned to con
duct for Life Magazine will take
her to various places in Alaska,
