TERR. AND CITY
EMPLOYEES HAVE
TO JUNETO RETIRE
Employes of the Territory and
municipalities are reminded by Neil
Moore, acting secretary of the Pub
lic Employes Retirement System,
that those eligible for retirement
under the act have only until June
22 to make application.
The PERS, which was passed by
the 1949 Legislature, was abolished
by the recent Legislature in favor
of an enabling act to put all such
employes under Social Security.
Under the Public Employes Retire
ment System persons who have 20
years service can retire at the age
of 55; those with 15 years service,
at the age of 60 and those with 10
years service at the age of 65.
"Service” includes total employment
for any city or the Territory plus
Federal employment not to exceed
10 years.
Moore said that there are 11
known members eligible for retire
ment, besides four who have already
retired, added that there may be
others who have not submitted their
record of eligibility.
He also pointed out that any
member who does not contemplate
retiring can write to the board ask
ing a refund of money they have
paid in, or, when the act automat
ically goes out of effect on June 22.
refunds will be made of all contri
butions.
He said when the act was passed
in 1949 by the Nineteenth Legisla
ture $20,000 was appropriated for
administration of the act and in the
one year the act has been in effect
interest on bonds has built up a
$5,000 surplus, besides $128,000
which has accummulated in the re
tirement fund from payments with
held from wages.
Regrets Action
Moore expressed regret for action
of the last Legislature in abolishing
the Public Employes Retirement
System.
"This system was created primar
ily to reduce the cost of continually
training new employes in various
departments,” he said. “It was a
method of retirement where em
ployes, when of retirement age,
I
could retire with sufficient income
[ to live on. I, and everyone I have
talked to under this retirement
act, believe it was a wrong move
to wipe out the act for the added
reason that now the Territory no
longer has an inducement to hold
employes.”
He went on to explain that Ter
ritorial salaries are set, and that
without the advantage of an ample
amount of retirement benefit after
long periods of work, Territorial jobs
will not be attractive enough to hold ,
employes in competition with high!
wages paid during the present war
effort.
Moore also reminded rural Terri
torial school teachers, who are not
eligible for retirement under the
teachers’ retirement system, can
receive retirement under the Pub
lic Employes Retirement Systm be
fore June 22.
The Retirement Board consists
of the following: Territorial Aud
itor, Territorial Treasurer, Attorney
General, Director of Public Welfare,
Commissioner of Labor, and the
City Manager of Anchorage.

CHARTER MEMBER
GF ELKS, CHARLES
GARFIELD, IS DUE
1 I
Juneau Lodge No. 420., B. P. O.
Elks is honored with the arrival in
Juneau of its only living charter
member and senior Past Exalted
Ruler, Charles D. Garfield of Seat
tle.
Garfield accompanied by his wife
is due to arrive today by PAA to
be present for the dedication of the
iron lung on Saturday, April 7. at
the Elks hall, and to greet the
Grand Exalted Ruler, Joseph B.'
Kyle.
Garfield was one of 35 citizens of
Juneau, who in 1898, decided that
this fair city was in need of an Elks
lodge and the principles for which
it stands. The efforts put forth by \
Garfield and his fellow brothers re
sulted in a charter being granted
on June 22, 1899.
Garfield was the guiding hand
on many committees in those early,
troublesome days. The members ex
pressed their appreciation of his
work by electing him on July 2, 1902
to fill the unexpired term of Exalt
ed Ruler due to the resignation of
the then Exalted Ruler, James Mc
Closkey.
Garfield, who now resides in
Seattle, is the secretary and treas
urer of the Washington Fur Mer
chants Association. His many
friends were most happy to re
ceive the news of his arrival for
the forthcoming ceremonies.
Garfield expects to remain sev
I eral days to renew old friendships
'REVEALS
"PEACE"
MCTICS
Two Movie Academy Win
ners Linked in Un-Am
erican Activities, Report
WASHINGTON, April 5 —(yP)—
The House Un-American Activities
Committee has linked several hun
dred prominent Americans —among
them movie academy award winners
Jose Ferrer and Judy Holliday —
with what is described as a Com
munist ‘‘world-wide peace offen-1
sive.”
At the same time last night, the
committee intimated that many so
named have been unwitting dupe
of the Red campaign, which it des
cribed as “the most dangerous hoax i
ever devised by the international,
Communist conspiracy.”
In a forward to a 16G-page analy
sis of Communist “peace” tactics,
which it declared was intended to
destroy American morale and shield
Russian military intentions, the
committee made provision for dis
claimers by innocent persons. It
said:
“The committee having no desire
to charge any innocent person with J ■
having Communist affiliations, will
therefore publish the names of any
individual who has so withdrawn
from these organizations or whose
name was used by these organiza
tions without permission or knowl
edge in a future report, if such '•
person will communicate with the |.
committee, giving the circumstances
in his particular case.”
A prompt denial came from Miss
Holliday, whose portrayal of the
dumb blonde in “Born Yesterday”
won her this year’s movie Oscar.
