Browne Tells Rotary
Club About Social
Security Amendment
Before the end of this year 9 out
of 10 Americans will be under Fed
eral Social Security, James O.
Browne, manager of the Alaska
social security office told mem
bers of the Rotary club this noon.
The club met at the Baranof Hotel.
He said that at the present four
out of five persons come under the
provision. Recent amendments to
the law have extended coverage to
include self-employed pjrsons as
well as employees in political sub
divisions such as territories, cities
and certain federal employees not
provided for tinder civil service.
Browne pointed out that the
new amendment embraced many
employed in fishing, Alaska s larg
est industry. He said that, at pre
sent. his office here was handling
50 claims weekly which included
retirements and death benefits to
survivors.
Professional people still do not
come under the act, he said.
The self-employed now who have
had social security numbers may
continue to use them, but for those
who have never had a number the
local office will issue one if they
apply for it. Browne said.
Keith Wildes was program chair
man today.
Dr. William Blanton announced
that the Red Cross was taking any
voluntary contributions to assist
midwest flood victims.
Visiting Rotarians were: T. S.
Batchelder, Fairbanks contractor;
Ken Baxter, San Francisco, Calif
liquor distributor; Otto Underhill,
carbonated beverage dealer, and
Ran Mason, retail furniture dealer,
both from Las Vegas, Nev.
Other visitors included: Elmer E.
Scholtz of the Associated Dinner
Clubs, Denver, Colo.; Lt. Arthur
Smith of the Fairbanks Salvation
Army; Victor Hill of the Wrangell
Institute; and T. C. Whiteside of

Cadets Have (
Chance at i /
Clean Record
WEST POINT, N. Y., Aug. 7, —
(iP)—The superintendent of West
Point said today that any of the
accused cadets who admit class
room cheating will be given a
chance to resign with a clean
record.
"This was always contemplated,”
Maj. Gen. Frederick A. Irving told
the first news conference he has
called since the scandal broke last
Friday.
The 90 cadets are facing ouster
for exchanging information on
classroom examinations.
Their case is presently before
a screening board here at West
Point. General Irving also said
that the fall football schedule
would be played as planned.
Parents of some of the youths
sent a telegram to President Tru
man appealing to him to restore
the accused cadets to duty. The
White House acknowledged receipt
of the wire, but had no comment.
Also in Washington, Senators
Sparkman (D-Ala) and Fulbright
(D-Ark) suggested that both West
Point and Annapolis be converted
into purely military graduate
schools.
Sparkman said that for years
he has favored abolishing the mil
itary and naval academies as ov
erall institutions of higher educa
tion, and stripping the courses to
strictly military subjects.
"This would eliminate any ser
vice school clique,” he said.
However, Sen. Byrd D-Va), act
ing chairman of the Senate Arm
ed Services Committee, said he
would oppose any move to abolish
the schools because of the cribbing
scandal.
—EMPIRE WANT ADS PAY—
Unnecessary for
Alaska to Match
Funds on Shelters
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, —UP)—''
The House Armed Services .Com
mittee today approved legislation j
that would waive for Alaska the
requirement that territories and [
states must match federal contri
butions for air raid shelters for
civilians.
Chairman Vinson (D-Go) said
that even if the federal govern
ment had to appropriate every
dollar of the $6,500,000 estimated
as needed for the civilian shelters
there, “it would be justified be
cause Alaska is right under the
gun.”
The waiver was sought by Alas
ka and approved by the federal
civil defense administration.
The agency noted that most Al
askan dwellings are of frame con
struction and said the severe cold
could result in great suffering in
the event of a winter-time bomb
attack on the territory.
Rep. Cole opposed the legisla
tion and said the waiver should
just as well apply to New York.
He and Rep. Clemente (D-NY'
cast the only negative votes.
Delegate Farrington R-Hawaii)
asked why the waiver would not
also be applied to that territory
but the matter was not discussed.
