VA Pensioners Urged to
Report Yearly Income
This year s income reporting
time begins again in December for
3/2 disabled veterans and 225 de
pendents of deceased ex-service
men who are now receiving VA
pensions in Alaska, John C. Den
ny, Manager of the VA Regional
Office in Juneau explained today.
Along with their November 30
• hecks, all VA pension recipients
wiH receive enclosed questionnaire
cards. They carry the words
“Please do not mutilate.” It is im
portant that these instructions be
followed.
On these cards, beneficiaries
must report all income received
during 1963 and that expected in
1964. Income means everything in
cluding Social Security payments
except, of course, the VA pension
payments themselves.
The law requires the VA to use
the reports to determine continued
eligibility of pensioners and in
some cases to make adjustments on
the basis of increased or decreased
outside income.

50 Millions In New $1
Notes Put Into Circulation
The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and the
Treasury Department announced
last week that more than 50 mil
lion new $1 Federal Reserve notes
are going into circulation. Issuance
of the new $1 notes, authorized by
Congress last June, has already
begun at all 12 Federal Reserve
banks and their 24 branches to
commercial banks in every part
of the country. This will make
more silver available for coinage
purposes and help to meet the in
creased demand for currency in
connection with pre-Christmas
business.
Federal Reserve notes have
been the basic circulating curren
cy of the United States for many
years, comprising over 85 per cent
(more than $30 billion) of the face
amount of all currency in circu
lation today. They are backed
100 per cent by collateral in the
form of gold certificates, U.S. Gov
ernment securities, or short-term
paper discounted or purchased by
the Federal Reserve banks.

Kennedy Will Is Private
Matter, Says White House
WASHINGTON — The White
House said today it considers pro
bating of the late President’s will
a private family matter and will
have no announcement on it.
Assistant News Secretary An
drew Hatcher’s comment came in
response to a question about
where and when the will would be s
probated. He said he did not know.
When asked if he would check,
Hatcher refused.
The late President is reported
to have had holdings amounting
to about ten million dollars.
The calculation, dating from the
time of Kennedy’s inauguration in
January, 1961, is a rough one.
At that time Pierre Salinger,
White House News Secretary, said
Kennedy had income of about
$500,000 a year — about $100,000
after taxes — from trust fund in
vestments. Newsmen figured that
on the basis of a five per cent re
turn that would represent capital
of around ten million.
Identical trust funds for the late
President and his sisters and
brothers were set up in 1926, 1936
and 1949 by their multi million
aire father Joseph Kennedy.

Little Trouble from
Alaska Minimum Wage
JUNEAU — Labor Commis
sioner Gil Johnson said today his
department has received very few
complaints from workers claiming
they are being paid below Alas
ka's recently increased $1.75 min
imum hourly wage.
Effective September 3d of this
year all employers subject to the
Alaska Wage and Hour Act were
automatically required to observe
the $1.75 minmum, which had for
merly been $1.65. This increase
followed a provision enacted by
the Legislature that the Alaska
minimum hourly wage shall be 50
cents higher than the prevailing
Federal minimum wage rate. On
September 3d the Federal rate in
creased to $1.25 per hour.
Employers desiring copies of the
Alaska Wage and Hour Act, which
contains minimum wage and over
time standards, together with ex
emptions, may do so by contacting
the Department of Labor at Box
2141, Juneau.
