Territcrial Workers Ask for
Retirement System
Board Meeting
A petition was being circulated
today among Territorial employees j
addressed to the chairman of the
board of trustees of the Public'
Employees Retirement System, ask
ing that a board meeting be called j
next week.
With the new 1950 amendments
to the Social Security Act, Old
Age and Survivors Insurance, the
Territory can enter into an agree
ment with the Federal Government
to accept coverage for its employ- i
ees. It is reported that there is a |
good deal of feeling among Terri
torial personnel that this should j
te done. It is believed that if this j
could be done it would effect sav-1
ings to both the Territory and the >
individual employees. ,
The pettion requests that “a
meeting of the Board' of Trustees ,
be called three days prior to the !
meeting, for the following purposes: j
"I. A report of the Secretary of
the Board regarding the condition
of the Retirement Fund, and
“2. A review of the policies, rules
and regulations adopted by the
Board since its creation, ana
“3. A discussion of the compara
tive costs and benefits between the
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
plan of the Federal Security Agen
cy, and the present Retirement
System to be proposed to the 20th
Session of the Alaska Legislature,
and
”5. Any other pertinent subjects
affecting the employees and the
Retirement System,”
The board consists of the Ter
ritorial attorney general, auditor,
commissioner of labor, welfare di
rector, treasurer, and two members
appointed by the Governor. Neil
Moore is secretary of the board
and J. E. Kearney is employed as
office manager-clerk. Six persons
are now receiving retirement an
nuities of the system.
Information has been requested
from Washington whether or not
the Territory could come under the
Social Security provisions if the
present local system were junked.
There is also the question of the
handling of funds already paid in
by employees.
CITV COUNCIL TONIGHT
Many civic-minded Juneau resi
dents have indicated their intention
to attend the regular meeting of
the Juneau City Council at which
it is hoped a new councilman will
be elected to replace A1 Zenger,
whose resignation was effective
January I.
A number of fishermen are ex
pected to be present to urge action
on building a new approach to the
small boat harbor.
ARR, COAL MINE
THREATENED BY
(G RESTRICTIONS
(Continued from Page One)
of explosives near Anchorage. The
new regulations caught up with the
railroad before it could get in the
powder to be stored. The snow slide
season is approaching and large
amounts of powder are required to
keep the railway open to traffic.
Capt. Harry Stinchcombe here
from Washington, D.C., said a
workable plan might be the em
ployment of ship trains to be un
loaded at Seward for transporting
powder.
Yukon District
Another district which will be
seriously affected by the Coast
Guard restrictions is the Yukon
river area where considerable min
ing and construction is to be car
ried on this year, according to
witnesses.
Yukon Needs Explosives
William McFarlane, Juneau agent
for the Canadian Pacific Railway,
testified that interior points in the
Yukon district will require about
100 tons of explosives this year.
About 52 tons were used last year.
The Keno Hill mines, who use the
greatest quantity of powder ship
ped into the district plans to in
crease production from 12,000 tons
to 25,000 tons this year, he said. Ex
plosives for the Yukon interior are
shipped by freighter to Skagway.
Kenneth Kadow, Director of the
Alaska Field Committee, said at the
hearing that the time element is
of utmost importance. He said that
while a solution to the problem can
no doubt be met it is imperative
that some favorable action be taken
at once in order that developments
in the territory will not be ham
pered.
Action by Greenspun
Kadow asked whether action
would be taken locally. Admiral
Greenspun replied no, that a tran
script of the hearing would be sent
with correspondence received by his
office here from interested parties
to Coast Guard headquarters with
out comment. He then amended this
statement to say that possibly he
would submit a comment, feeling
that the witnesses were entitled to
this action.
Kadow said ho believed a survey
should be made to determine a pos
sible solution to meet government
requirements for unloading and dis
charging explosives at each port in
Alaska. He said that in view of the
fact that a practical solution of
the problem rests with the interests
involved he would be glad to meet
with those so desiring to wyrk on
the problem. At the conclusion of
the Coast Guard conference a
group remained with Kadow to
continue the discussion in an ef
fort to effect a workable plan that
will be acceptable to the Coast
Guard.
Duryea had previously testified
that Alaska Steamship freighters
on which explosives are transported
to Alaska are equipped with maga
zines to hold from 45 to 100 ton
each, and not 11 tons each as was
quoted in a report of the conference
yesterday. In 1949 the company i
carried a total of 1204.4 tons of ex
plosives to Alaska and it is expected
records for 1950 will show a greater
amount had been carried during
the past year.
MEETING TODAY
I Lany Moore, Manager of the
A’aska Chapter of Associated Gen
eral Contractors, Anchorage; Lt.
Col. J. W. Higgins, Assistant Trans
portation Officer for the U.S. Army:
and Kenneth Kadow, Chairman cf
the Alaska Field Committee, repre
senting the group which attended
the Coast Guard conference yes
terday on explosives handling, met
with Admiral Joseph Greenspun
this morning.
At the meeting yesterday an at
tempt was made to work out solu
tions for meeting government regu- 1
lations in the loading, discharging I
and handling Class A explosives |
and still obtain the explosives in j
sufficient amounts to carry on |
construction, mining, and other ac
tivities requiring large shipments. !
Kadow reported today that work
able solutions appeared to be avail
able for all ports under considera
tion except Seward. It was agreed,
he said, that some permanent solu- ;
tion would have to be worked out |
in the Seward situation, meantime j
a unanimous request was made fer
j a waiver of regulations long enough
j to permit the construction of new
facilities.
In the case of the port of Ju
neau. it was agreed that shipments |
I could be landed at du Pont and j
I brought to Juneau in small lots. |
