The year 1946 was the first year in which it was possible for them to attain fully | , insured status—permanently—under the 10-year coverage provision, since the old-age and survivors insurance t program completes its tenth year of operation December 31. Benefits for the nation increased from 1,288,000 recipients at a month- 1y rate of $23,801,000 at the end of 1945, to an estimated 1,655,000 recipi- ents at a monthly rate of $31,360,000 at the end of 1946. As nationally, , the number of beneficiaries as well | as the total amount of benefit pay- ments have * during 1946, From January 1 to December 20, 1946, the Juneau of- * fice handled 385 applications for social security insurance benefits. About 4,800,000 workers in the United States, of whom about 800,- | 000 are women, will have completed | the necessary 10 years of service in|{ < covered jobs this yea: and thus will | + be permanently insured. | In addition, about 1,600,000 men ! v and 200,000 women will be fully in- sured for life—under another pro- vision of the law—because they will have worked in covered jobs for a! time greater than half that between the end of 1936 and the date when they will be 65 years old, Mr. Wade explained. All of the members of | ! | this group will reach 65 before 1957. | ‘The other persons who will be permanently insured include about | $1,400,000 men and 200,000 . women \ * ‘who have gained fully insured status ) and are now aged 65 or clder. About half of them- are now drawing monthly benefits. { ‘Workers who are permanently in- | sured will have at least minimum | insurance protection for life, re- | gardless of their future work history. | Workers who are fully insured, but | » not permanently insured, can raain- | tain their status by continued work in jobs covered by the Socia' Secur- ; ity Act.

WASHINGTON The Army, Navy and Coast Guard today urged that furlough fares be retained un- til the railroads can prove they should be cancelled, increased in Alaska | |out the Territory for' their fur- ther consideration and approval. | conferring on the flood damage to | the city last fall, It is estimated | that the damage ran in the neigh- { borhood of half a million dollars with loss of two lives. He brought time of the flood showing the ex- | time of the floow showing the ex- | tent of the wreckage suffered along the main streets of the city. He | said that the people of Nome are | serfously concerned over the pre- carious situation and the possibili- ty of a re-cccurrence is a constant WOTTY. | Sundborg revealed that opinion is about equally divided in Nome as to whether the entire city should {be moved back about three miles distance from the present vulner- able site or a breakwater be con- structed offshore to offer protection fu the waterfront area of the city. He is leaving for Seattle sometime in January to confer with Col. L. H. Hewitt, district engineer, on the advisability of such an undertak- ing. Col Hewitt is in charge of river and harbor construction in Alaska. Estimated cost of the pro- posed breakwater for Nome is be- | tween half a million to three mil- | lon dollars. While the Federal Government will provide one third of the construction cost the prob- lem of raising the remaining funds required has not been solved. Sund- borg said that there is much doubt as to whether the breakwater would be a satisfactory protection since the shoreline around Nome is un- dergoing a constant erosion and the water is gradually pushing further into the city. He said that the Federal Building, built in Nome during 1937, has sunk almost two feet. Since the ground at Nome is permanently frozen, construction is one of the main headaches asife from the storm havoc threat. Sundborg also stated that ! spent his Thanksgiving with Char- !lie Traeger and his nephew, Fred | Machetariz, in Unalakleet. Ma- | chetariz, who has won fame as an | artist-photographer and author, is inow preparing an illustrated book on Alaska for the Development he Sundborg spent ten days in Nome ' | but he does not feel that the real seriousness of the situation is fully understood by the States. He said that few people realize that ship- ping stoppages which may affect other cities of the United States adversely are absolutely ruinous to Alaska. He firmly believes that, since Territorial development is an | essential part of the national poli- cy, it is up to the Federal Govern- ment to see to it that these prob- lems do not occur again in the future. “Alaska must never again be held as hostage as was the case in the past six months,” the Governor | stated. “In the past struggle, Alas- kans were used as victims of opera- tor and union strife, without voice or authority to dispose of issues.” Shipping Situation While in Washington, D. C.,, the Governor was working constantly, not merely on relief ships for Ala ka, but to achieve a more lasting solution to the prevailing shipping situation. “If Alaska is to develop,” the Governor said, “transportation and reasonable rates must be as- sured. If we cannot be assured, through existing means and routes, of dependable service, then we must find other means and develop other routes.” The Governor also believes that the present air .transportation to and from the States is far from adequate and that the CAB deci- sion in the Pacific case was very unfortunate for Alaska. He reveal- ed that some 150 Alaskans were stranded in Seattle at the time he was there, a few days before Christmas, and greatly disappointed because they could not make con- nections home in time to be with their families. While granting that bad flying weather is an important factor in such delays, the Gover- nor said, “I am convinced that a little competition would go far to improve service.” He believes that | service would be greatly improved if Alaskan carriers would be certi- fied for operation between Alaska and the States. i Seeks Appropriations The Governor also devoted work and effort toward adequate appro- priations for Alaska from Congress phrey Bogart, Greer Garson, Mar- garet O'Brien, Betty Grable and Roy Rogers. | .o MANY YOUNG PEOPLE HOME FOR HOLIDAYS Many Juneau young people have arrived home from schools or jobs during the past two weeks to spend the Christmas holidays.

WATERFRONT WORK NEARLY COMPLETED Mayor Hendrickson reported to- day that ‘the new City Float is nearing completion. Only work re- maining to be done is the capping of the pilings, which will be com- pleted this week. H Repairs to the City Dock also are nearly finished, and it is expected that the job will be completed next week. New pilings have been driv- en on the dock facing, and new capping and decking installed. The City of Juneau is installing a new 18 inch sewer outlet next to the Juneau Lumber Mill hold- ings on land which used to be Robert’s Row. Purchased recently by Roy Rutherford, the houses have | been :orn down, and new sewer pipes are being laid.

The endorsement of construction in Alaska of modern hatcheries. o L Gradual elimination of all fish traps and reduction plants and prohibition of otter trawling in all Alaskan waters.
