ACS Marks 59th Year Anniversary
• Tuesday, May 26, just fifty-nine
years from that date, the Alaska
Communications System was born.
That was the day an act of Con
gress was approved providing
&rig. Gen. Adolphus Washington
Grfeely, the chief signal officer,
with the authority and funds re
quired to bring to life his dream
of a communications system that
would tie together the military
garrisons of Alaska, and eventual
ly connect them with Washington
through an all-American tele
graph and cable system.
During the years since that
memorable date, ACS has expan
ded into an extensive and com?
plete modern communication nek
work* using as it does, the sub
marine cable, stretching from
Po<rt Angeles, Washington to
Skagway, which was inaugurated

One Bum family for six
generations... One Kentucky Bourbon
formula for 164 years!
What makes Beam bourbon taste so
good? More than anything—it is the fact
that today, as for 164 years, it is still the
Beams who make BEAM, under the
same formula, in the same Kentucky
country where bourbon was bom. That .
is why you can always buy Beam
bourbon with trust.

the mo$t'*recent improvement
in long distance telephone service
was the inauguration of operator
toll dialing between: Alaska and

Q. I filed an application for a
disability freeze in 1955 but was
turned down on the basis that my
disability was not severe enough
to keep me from doing any type
of work. Did -the 1958 amendments
liberalize the requirement that a
worker must be so severely dis
abled?
A. No. The 1958 amendments
did not change that requirement.
To qualify, a worker still must
be so severely impaired that he
cannot engage in any substantial
gainful activity.
Q. I am in my late 60’s. My son
was in the military service and
had never married. He passed
away in 1953. I would like to know
if I can collect on his Social Se
curity account?
A. You may be entitled to par
ent’s benefits if you were receiv
ing at least one-half of your
support from your son at the time
of his death.

copies in one form or another, is
brought to the local screen in the
film, “The Brothers Karamazov,”
Dostoyevsky’s great novel of
down-to-earth people.
As one writer put it: “His fasci
nating characters are basically-*
f eve-sy ittan*'vdftd woman who ever
lived, loved, hated, were torn be
tween the sensual and the spiri
tual, lusted, dreamed, hoped,
prayed, or nurtured the seeds of
murder in the dark recesses of
the mind.”
The cast of M-G-M’s “The Broth
ers Karamazov” circles the globe:
Yul Brynner, Mongolian ancestry
—Maria Schell, Swiss—C 1 a i r e

come him in the comedy, “All At
Sea.” which will play as the first

Thursday and Friday
Though George Montgomery
traded in his usual boots and sad
dles for a cop’s blue uniform and
brass buttons in “Street of Sin
ners,” a story of juvenile violence
and vice, which William Berke
produced for United Artists, he
gets plenty of opportunity for the
type of action that has made him
one of the screen’s most popular
outdoor heroes.
In the Phillip Yordan story,
which opens Thursday, Montgom
ery does alt but one of the things
he usually does in Westerns. He
fights,, runs,. jumps, and shoots,'
while trying to dean up his beat.
On the same program, the scene
changes from New York to Chica
go. Ja<;k Lait and Lee Mortimer’s
“Chicago Confidential,” hitshard
in its expose ofi the windy city’s
vice, brought about mainly by the
infiltration of a ruthless element
into the labor Graft/ pay
offs and illicit business transac
tions of labor union racketeers are
shown in the screen version.
Starring in this revealing ex
pose, are- Brian Keith, Beverly
Garland and Dick Foran.
