NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. WHAT FOR THE VETERANS? Most serious problem confronting the Unite States today—and Alaska—is what is going to be done for the returning veterans. Most serious mistake that is being made in con- nection with this is that it is considered a post-war | project, which it isn’t; rather project, which it is. According to recent figures, demobilization is al- ready with us. Since Pearl Harbor, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps have discharged 1,250,000 men and women— average of 46206 a month. Right now discharges are | running from 70,000 to 80,000 a month. After the defeat of Germany, but before the end of the war with Japan, estimates place the rate of discharge at possibly 250,000 a month or 3,000,000 a year. Just like the rest of the nation, Alaska is far | behind in the development of a program for the assimilation into civilian life of the returning vets. When a soldier leaves the Army a Report of Separation is prepared for him. His service records and this report are sent to the Veterans’ Admin- istration. He is advised to notify his draft board that he has been discharged, and is advised that if he served in active service on or after December 7, 1941, and before the end of the present war, he is | than an immediate | entitled to hospitlization and domiciliary care, dis- ability pension, vocation rehabilitation. 5 He is notified that he is entitled to his former employment if he applies to his former employer within 40 days after discharge He is given $100 mustering out pay and is on his own, again . Under the law, his old employer must give him back his job or one just as good, unless circumstances have changed to make this impossible or unreasonable —loopholes here. Meanwhile, the vet may apply to the U. S. Em- ployment Service for actual placement stance. This office functions in Alaska and probably has a program for helping the returning veterans well laid out. Each office is supposed to have a Veterans' Employment Representative to give sole consideration to finding jobs for veterans. Meanwhile, little progress has been made by State, Federal or Territorial governments to aid in self-employment. Congress is thinking about legislation enabling loans to veterans who wish to purchase individual farms; some states contemplate similar programs; the Department of Agriculture soon is to issue re- ports describing agricultural opportunities; the Army ! is cooperating with the Department of Commerce in issuing 32 leaflets describing how to go into business for yourself; some communities have planned for projects employing only veterans and such a project is being planned for Juneau. However, very little has been done to date. | In addition, there is hospitalization to think about, The Veterans' Administration at present oper- ates some 93 hospitalization centers in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Is there one in Alaska? We don't know. | We do know that present facilities are inadequate n this line. There isn't sufficient beds to meet the ! demand at present and the need for competent medical :personncl is glaring. The Army has detailed 100 { doctors, the Navy nnuthc_r 50, for this service. It is estimated that the veterans will need at least 300,000 | hospital beds eventually and there are about 85,000 | iow—but the current program is intended to increase the beds to only 100,000. | Alaska certainly should merit at least one hospital | for the care of veterans. Our wounded vets will not | want to take to beds far from their homes and relatives and friends and they shouldn't have to do this. | Veterans disabled can afford themselves of voca- | tional training, not to exceed four years, and mainte- | nance and support during this period amounts to increasing the disability pension to $80 a month for a single man, $95 a month married and 85 for each | | dependent child. If a child can be fed for $5 a! month we're surprised. | Alaska, at present, has no announced plan for the t | care of veterans, at least not to our knowledge. | Most of the plans seem to be developing around a program to take care of the bureaucrats who will be | discharged after the war—by making new jobs for | them. i | | | HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY 10 D. B. Femmer Vara Kay Metzgar Clara Hansen Barney Johnson Mrs. Cliff Cooper Harold T. Benson Mrs. Eva Tomlinson Ray Clifford Daisy F. Gregory HOROSCDPE “The starsincline but do not compel” O e ] THURSDAY, MAY 11 Adverse planetary aspects rule to- day which may be most unfavorable to labor relations. Naval aétivities may be widespread and marked by extraordinary maneuvers. HEART AND HOME: Neighbor-! liness, encouraged by wartime emergencies, is to become a force in the working out of postwar social problems. Understandirig and sym- pathy will remove former barriers and class consciousness will * be largely eliminated, the seers fore- | tell. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Simplified business methods will be widely ad- vocated in an effori to prevent de- lays in important transactions. The tendency to discard red tape will be | | marked, astrologers foretell. NATIONAL ISSUES: Conscript- fon of labor, always aroused antagonism in the United States, will be a reappearing bugaboo until the' end of the war The stars are read as indicating continued success of our volunteer system. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Because the ' Aquarian influence marks this era as the air age, as- trologers prophesy final victory that will owe much to aviators. Brilliant records will be made this month by American fliers but many will give their lives in winning success. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of more than averagd progress. Men in uniform will gain glory. L ¥ Children born on this day prob- {ably will have lofty aims. While these may not be altogether real- ized, first-rate achievement is fore- cast. ( COpyrlghl 1944) ———-—— a measure which hnsI from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO % MAY 10, 1924 No word has been received from aviators looking for the missing Army fliers and it was expected that the searching party of Indians from Chignik were to return shortly from a search of the Bering Sea coast and Chignik Island district. The three other fliers making the 'globe hop had left Atka and reacked Attu Island safely this day. The next hop was to be to the Paramushiro Islands, this being the longest flight and was 870 miles from Attu. A day or two delay in getung started the work of the spring term of the local Federal District Court was indicated this day when it was learned that it would be necessary for the court to draw and summon an entire venire for the grand jury panel. Court was set for the morning of May 12. Jack Young, against whom deportation proceedings were pending and who had been serving a six months’ jail sentence in the local Federal jail, staged a successful escape this day when he nonchalantly walked out the door at breakfast time and down the road leading from the courthouse. He had not been seen again and a search was being made by officials for any clues leading to his whereabouts. According to word received here by Mr. and Mrs. George W. Kohl- | hepp, twin babies were born to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Selfrige at Leng Beach on April 30. Well known here, the Selfriges lived on the corner | of Gold and Fourth streets. Mr. Selfrige was connected with the Sawyer- Reynolds Company. Enroute to Grand Rapids, Mich., to attend the annual General As- | sembly of the Presbyterian Church as delegate from the Alaska Pres- bytery, Rev. David Waggoner left on the Princess Royal for Seattle. !
