tended to be re-elected to the lower
house. But after his nomination,
Senator Bankhead 'Dem.) of Ala
bama died. At a special primary,
Sparkman won the Democratic
nomination to fill that vacancy. It
was too late then for the Demo
crats to nominate another candi
date for the lower house. If Spark
man had withdrawn from the con
gressional race, that would have
assured election of the Republican
candidate. He can keep the sen
atorship and resign from the
house, allowing some Alabama
Democrat to fill that vacancy.

A.POLET
Veterans Urged To Apply j
For N.S.L. Insurance
'
Veterans who failed to apply for
National Service Life Insurance
while in the armed forces may
still do so under amendments en
acted by Congress earlier this
year, according to Barnard Esta
brook, contact and insurance offi
cer of the Veterans Administration
for Alaska.
This feature is but one of many
in the amended insurance act, Es
tabrook said, which are being
brought to the attention of veter
ans throughout the Territory in
the campaign to get veterans to
re-instate their insurance.
Veterans who subscribed for
less than the $10,000 maximum
policy in the service and who
were formerly barred from in
creasing this to the maximum may
now do this also, he said. A physi
cal examination by a doctor at the
veteran’s expense, however, is
necesary in either of the above
features.
Veterans however who carried
NSLI in the service may re-in
state up until February 1, 1947,
without a physical examination by
payment of two monthly premi
ums and by signing a comparative
health statement.
Veterans service organizations
throughout Alaska have joined the
VA in its campaign to get the
veterans in the Territory to re
instate lapsed policies at the ex
tremely low level term rate. The
I monthly premium for a veteran at
' 25 years of age is but 67 cents per
! thousands dolars per month, Esta
brook said, with rates at other
, ages on a comparative basis.
I Veterans who have let their
i NSLI policies lapse are urged to
! get in touch with VA contact rep
I resentatives now stationed at
1 Ketchikan, Juneau, Fairbanks and
Anchorage or to write direct to
EARNING REPORTS
OVERDUE
No subsistence check in Decem
ber is the bad news for veterans in
training under the G.I. Bill who
neglected to mail in their “Trainee
Report of Earnings” slip by No
vember 5, the VA warned today.
Many veterans, however, who
will receive their first subsistence
checks from the VA this month,
Barnard Estabrook, VA insurance
officer, Veterans Administation
Regional Office, Juneau, Alaska.
have not had the opportunity to
report so will not be penalized if
they immediately return the re
porting slip which will be encloa
ed with their first check.
The Va emphasized that these
reports are due only from veterans
who are drawing subsistence un
der the G.I. Bill.
Disabled veterans receiving vo
cational rehabilitation under Pub
lic Law 16 are not affected by the
regulation and are not required to
report their earnings.
