Compensation Act
Walter P. Sharpe, Executive
Director of the Alaska Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission,
announced that it is the respon
sibility of employers to register

sion, regardless of the number of
workers employed.
Mr. Sharpe stated that al
though wage and contribution re
ports are required following the
employment of eight or more in
dividuals for a twenty-week per

► annual report to determine lia

required by all employers. This
report (Form UCA-1) may be ob
tained from the Alaska Unem
ployment Compensation Commis
sion, P. O. Box 2661, Juneau, Al
aska.
Employers who have not reg
istered with the Commission for
the calendar year 1941 are re
quested to do so at once. In case
liability is incurred during the
calendar year 1941, quarterly
contribution and wage reports,
together with contributions due,
must be cleared with the Com
mission to enable employers to
gain credit for the Territorial
payment against the Federal un
employment tax, it was stated.

Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps
To Train Latin
Americans In
U. S. Aviation
WASHINGTON —Complete cle
tails were released today of a
plan for increased cooperation
among American Republics
which will bring young men
from below the Rio Grande to be
trained as pilots and aviation
technicians in the United States,
beginning shortly after the first
of the year,
the year.
The program will be under the
sponsorship of an Interdepart
mental Committee and the cours
es offered will vary in length
from six months to two years. It
calls for the initial training of
275 pilots, 18 aeronautical admin
istrative engineers, 87 instructor
mechanics, and 120 airplane ser
vice mechanics each pledged in
advance to a career in commcr
ial aviation.
The Committee known as the
Interdepartmental Committee on
Technical Aviation Training for
Citizens of the Latin American
Republics, consists of William
Barclay Harding, Vice President,
Defense Supplies Corporation,
also representing Coordinator of
Inter-American Affairs; Thomas
E. Burke, Chief, International
Communications Division, State
Department; Major Eugene E.
Gi lespie, Air Corps, War Depart
ment also representing Navy De
partment; G. Grant Mason, Mem-,
ber, Civil Aeronautics Board, and
Brig.-Gen. Donald H. C innolly.
Administrator of Civil Aeronau
tics.
Pilot training will be under
the supervision of the Army Ait
Corps and the Civil Aeronautics
Administration. The 75 Army
trainees will take the regular
Air Corps Training with the ex
ception of military subjects,
while the 200 CAA trainees will
learn flying at approved certific
ated schools which have trained
more than 60,000 U. S. youth in
less than three years. The CAA
will also carry out all the mech
anic training in a similar fashion.
Selection boards will be set up
in each country to consider ap
plicants and award scholarships
on a competitive basis. Applic
ants are to be apportioned among
the 20 republics, taking into con
sideration the needs of each for
trained personnel. They must be
| between the ages of 21 and 35.
Army trainees must be single,
but marriage will constitute no
bar to those seeking CAA train
ing. However, subsistence and
transportation will not be provid
ed for wives or other dependents
j nor will any compensation in the
nature of salary be paid to any
! trainees.
“These young men will help
strengthen the ties of friendship
already binding the Americas,”
General Connolly said, in making
the announcement. “Those who
' successfully complete the various
courses will return to their own
countries equipped to enter em
ployment in civil life directly in
the field of aviation, or with
some of the commercial activities
which are becoming more and
more interwoven with the rapid
I ly growing aviation industry and
j will possess the knowledge and
skills enabling them to become
airline pilots; to give proper
flight instruction; to supervise
the maintenance and repair of
aircraft and engines, or to direct
schools devoted to the training
| of aviation mehanics. As a result
the domestic and international
; air transport services throughout
the hemisphere will expand and
become more homogeneous.
“This is a concrete example of
what the overworked term ‘good
neighbor’ can really mean.”

Drafted Federal
Employees to Get
Payment for Leave
Ail Federal employees induct
ed into the armed forces are en
titled to receive, in addition t >
their mi itary pay, compensation
11 the civilian positions covering
their accumulated or current ac
crued leave, John L. McCormick,
Territorial D rector of Selective
Service, said.
Such employees may elect to
have their leave remain to their
credit until they return from
active military duty in lieu of
receiving compensation the dir
ector asserted. However, he said,
payment for annual leave may
be made without contravention
of the dual compensation law
which prohibits any person from
being paid for two positions in
the Federal service.
Recently enacted Federal leg
is'ation provides, the director
said that Federal employees
“who have heretofore or who
rnay hereafter be ordered to ac
tive duty with the military or
an vlafroecs ytm.
naval forces of the United Stat
es shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to their military pay,
compensation in their civilian po
sitions covering their accumu’at
ed or current accrued leave or
elect to have such leave remain
to their credit until their return
from active military or naval
service.’
Includes Guardsmen
The law applies to members of
the National Guard and of the
Officers’ Reserve Corps and to
men who heretofore have or may
in the future be inducted into the
land or naval forces under the
Selective Training and Service
Act of 194-0. Director McCormick
said, but it does not include Fed
eral employees who complete
their periods of active duty prior
to August 1, 1941 the effective
date of the law.
“As the law provides that em
ployees shall be entitled to pey
ment for their annual leave, or
ti elect to carry it over until
their return to their civilian po
sitions," the director said, “those
employees who have heretofore
been ordere to active military
duty or naval service should be
notified of their rights in this
matter. „
Choice Offered
“Employees who are hereafter
ordered to active military or
naval duty should be consulted
and given the choice of receiving
compensation in their civilian po
sitions covering their accumulat
ed or current accured leave or
allowing such leave to remain to
their credit until they return
from active military or naval
service.”
The act applies to employees
of the United States Government
its Territories or possessions, or
the District of Columbia, includ
ing employees of any corpora
tion created under authority of
an act of Congress which is eith
er wholly controlled or wholly
owned by the United State's Gov
ernment or any corporation, all
the stock of which is owned or
controlled by the United States
