CAPITOL THEATRE
—
"Woman in Hiding,” is the feature
at the Capitol Theatre for the last
two times tonight with a great cast.
I he story is as follows:
Selden Clerk (Stephen McNally)
seeks to gain control of a mill by
marrying the owner’s daughter,
' Deborah Chandler (Ida Lupino).
i When Deborah’s father objects, he
i | dies in an “accident" at the mill,
11 and Clark persuades Deborah to
; marry him.
Taking Deborah to a mountain
!; cabin for a honeymoon, dark is
j surprised there by his former girl
friend, Patricia Monahan (Peggy
Dow), who hints bitterly that Clark
! is responsible for the death of
j Deborah’s father.
When Deborah announces she is
j through with Clark he locks her in
| the cabin, cripples the brakes on her
| car, then permits her to escape,
j She narrowly misses death when
i the car crashes in a river, hides
I until she is given up for dead, then
j flees the region.
Because her body is not found
| Clark must track her down and kill
j her or he will be charged with at
| tempted murder. Keith Ramsey
(Howard Duff), marine architect,
befriends Deborah as she searches
j for Patricia Monahan, who can aid
her in proving Clark the killer of
I Chandler.
Clark reaches Patricia first, hints
that he will marry her if she help;
' nira trap Deborah and she agrees
! She gets Deborah into her car,
| drives her to the mill, where Clark
| waits. But Ramsay has followed the
j car, and in a fight in the mill he
| kills Clark, who has fired at and
■ killed Patricia, mistaking her for
Deborah. Deborah slumps into
! Ramsey’s arms.

'Seasonality'
'Suitability'
Topics at ESC
(Continued from Page One)
approximately six months.
"In the case of ‘short’ season can
nery workers, their work period fol
lows within a day or two of the
actual fishing season as set up by
the FWS. Employment contracts
guarantee workers a normal full
season’s pay for that particular per
iod, but they receive 100 percent of
tl<e employment offered by the
canneries and after receiving a full
season’s pay, can under Regular
No. 10, as presently administered,
receive in addition unemployment
benefits for a period of from 8 to
16 weeks.”
Present application departs from
the insurance theory and actually
sets up a dole, Mr. Gilmore con
tended.
$160 Insurance for $10.80 Payment
"An example of this is the case
of the short season cannery worker
who received recurringly an amount
in Jlie neighborhood of $400 for ap
proximately five weeks’ work. On
that amount the employer pays in
urance of $10.80, supposedly to in
jure that worker for jthe recurring |
employment period the following j
year.
“If he is employed the following j
year during the regular seasonal j
work period and the ESC’s benefit 1
regulation coincides wi.h the work
period he would receive no unem
ployment insurance." But, in the
case cited, the worker, in addition
to his full season’s employment,
can also receive a minimum of 8
.veeks benefits at $20 a week.
“As administered now, insolvency !
f the trust fund is sure to follow
regardless of increasing ernploy
nent,” Gilmore said.
He suggested an esculator ar
angement which would tie the Em
rloyment Security Commission reg- j
jlations to the varying fishing sea
>ons as adopted by the Fish and !
Wildlife Service.
Suitability of Employment
Suitability of employment, first
brought up at the meeting of the
Commission Tuesday by R. B. Erl- j
ing, F. E. Company, Fairbanks, was !
presented from the standpoint of [
military employment in detail, as
it applies to the Alaskan Air Com
mand as an employer, by W. Ted
Wilson, Civilian Personnel Director,
AAC, who read a letter from head
quarters AAC to the Commission,
concerning a decision of an appeals
referee dated June 1950.
The decision concerned the case ;
of an unemployed applicant for
compensation who was offered a
referral by the USES to Ladd Air
Force Base as a carpenter at $1.89
an hour, and refused to accept the
referral because he considered the
work unsuitable as he had received
$2.70 an hour from contract work.
He was subsequently awarded un- i
employment compensation at $25 a I
week for a maximum benefit of $625
and with an added $5 per week de- ;
pendency allowance.
The text of the letter from Maj. :
Genera! Frank A. Armstrong, Ji
A AC, requested:
"1. Complete review of this case
by the Employment Security Com
mission of Alaska.
“2. That the decision of the ref
eree in this case be set aside and
not be accepted as establishing a
precedence for future similar cases.”
Presenting the problem of mili
tary employment, the letter con
tinued: ‘‘The Alaskan Air Com
mand represents one of the largest
employers of year-round workers in
Alaska. The policy of the command
is to employ local residents insofar
as possible.”
Mr. Wilson did not ask for re
versal of the appeals referee’s de
cision but he did ask for a hearing
for presentation of more complete
and accurate information of Federal :
employment at the installations of
Alaskan Air Command and which
it was apparent was not furnished
the referee at the hearing.
Chairman Rivers assured the Air,
Force representatives that such a
hearing and full consideration would
be provided. Mr. Wilson requested
that David V. Barry, Personnel
Officer, Civilian Personnel Direr-,
torate AAC, be permitted to fur
nish the information concernin'-:
Federal employment in Alaska.
Mr. Barry commented on the '’
alleged inaccuracies of the deci-,
sion:
1. The claimants were referred
to positions as carpenters. Grade 12,
Step 1 at $1.89 an hour, and refused
the referral However, the Dept, of
Air Force policy is to recruit all
employees at Step 1, but each Base
Commander is authorized to inhire
at Steps 2. $2.00 and 3 at $2.10 if
the employee possessed special qual
ifications.
2. Claimants had a consistent pat
tern of employment within their
union and earn in the neighbor
hood of $5,000 per year at union
scale.
It was brought out by Mr. Barry
that tradesmen, including carpen
ters at Ladd Air Force Base during
the fiscal year 1950 earned $4,450,
plus 10 percent of an employee’s
pay — as annual leave compensa
tion. Other benefits accruing to a
Federal worker are: 15 days sick
leave per annum, retirement and
disability benefits and very reason
able bachelor living quarters and
good food.
Other clarifying points covered !
were: (1) No penalty is imposed |
at the Air Rnse upon failure of an |
employee to give a two-week notice
of separation; (2) that Civil Service
benefits accrue the first day of
duty, that pay increases are per
mitted after 13 weeks of employ
ment and as Ladd Air Force Base
is a permanent installation, a con
stant year-round civilian comple
ment with regular pay checks
throughout the year is necessary in
suring permanent employment.
Chairman Rivers discussed the
benefits of employment at the Air
Force installation during slack em
ployment periods with the AAC Di
rector, and suggested that it would
be advantageous if some of the
problems of employment of resi
dents of Fairbanks between union
employment and Federal employ
ment could be clarified. Mr. Wilson
assured him that the Alaskan Air
Command is interested in full em
ployment of local residents as i
feasibly possible, and assured the
Commission that the Air Force in
Alaska is ready and willing to dis
cuss problems of mutual interest at
any future date with the Commis
sion and with Labor.
Faced with similar difficulties in
finding employees as is the mili
tary, Paul Sheimerdine, personnel
director of the Alaska Railroad, sub
scribed to the testimony of Mr.
Wilson, asked that the case cited be
set aside so as not to establish a
precedent, and asked, also that
Alaska Railroad employment be
considered “suitable."
Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Shei
merdine cited the advantages of em
ployment with their organizations.
"Stability” and “continuous em
ployment" as well as civil servict
benefits in the case of Air Force
employment and benefits as to leave,
medical assistance, commissary
privileges, etc., as to the Alaska
Railroad Employment.
Erv Hill, ATFL president, and
Frank Marshall, International rep
resentative of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters, AFL, said that
their unions asked for prevailing
wages for all public works. Marshall
said that in the case referred to by
Wilson and Barry, the workman
refused employment on the basis
that accepting work at the base of
$1.89 an hour might jeopardize
permanent union . employment.
Marshall also said that the
privileges of commissary, etc., al
lowed military workers was con
sidered a discrimination against the
Alaskan families, and should not be
considered in rate of pay.
Both Wilson and Sheimerdine em
phasized that there is “no penalty
to those who leave without notice,”
though Ward Gilmore testified that
he had known of previous such
cases.
Also, Mr. Wilson said again that
annual leave is basically a part of
compensation, this to refute Mi
Hill’s contention that annual leave
should not be considered as pay.
