TO THE VOTERS OF NOME
AND THE SECOND DIVISION
I Due to a death in the family, my presence

in the Primary Election of April 30th.
As I again seek reelection to the House of I
Representatives of the Alaska Legisllature, I I
again ask your support at the polls. As in the past, |
I have no axe to grind, am not beholden to any I
1 special interests, and will continue, if reelected, 1
I to serve the best interests of the majority of our 1
I people.

PROOF OF MARRIAGE
IMPORTANT UNDER FEDERAL
, INSURANCE SYSTEM
Marriage certificates have tak
en on added importance in con
nection with Federal Old-Age
j and Survivors Insurance, accord
| ing to Hugh J. Wade. Director of
the Social Security Board’s terri
torial office at Juneau. Knowing
where to put her hands on her
marriage papers may, he said,
help a widow to begin getting
her monthly insurance checks
from the Federal Government
quickly.
Mr. Wade explained that the:
new system which went into ef
fect this past January provides
survivors insurance for widows
and children of workers who die,
as well as old-age insurance for;
qualified wage-earners and their
wives after age 65. Claims for in '
surance are now being received,
he said, from the widows of men :
who have died since the first ofj
this year when the new plan I
went into operation. Experience |
with these claims has already j
shown that delay in producing!
proof of marriage may hold up1
payment.
“It is the Social Security
Board’s policy,’’ Mr. Wale stated,
“to give assistance to the appli
cant in furnishing such proof.
But the Board’s representatives
naturally must have proper evi
dence that the woman is entitled
to these benefits as the wife or I
widow of the workers in ques
tion. The first question is, of
course, ‘Have you your marriage
cerificate ’ Already we have had
enough experience to show that
some people are not able to show
this document or a church rec
ord. Other proofs are acceptable;
but having a public record does
save further effort. If no such
document is available, we ask
! them if they can povide us with
| the affidavit of the clergyman or
j official who performed the mar
J riage ceremony. If, however,
| they arc.- unable to get any such
j record or affidavits. we take
i whatev r evidence they may be
I able to submit, and in many eas
j.es this will be laeeepted as proof
| of t.heir marriage.
Monthly insurance payments
are provided for widows under j
two different situations. First,!
it the worker leaves young child!
ren in her care, the widow re
I ceives insurance payments until
j the youngest child is 16, or 18, if
in school, and each child is also
I entitled to benefits. Second, the
j widow of a qualified worker is
j generally entitled to monthly pay
,ments for life after she reaches
■ 65 provided she has not remar
i ried. A widow’s benefit will
| amount to three-fourths of her
j husband’s benefit rate at the time
of his death and each child, with
in the age limit, receives one
half of that rate, so long as the
total benefits of children and mo
ther do not amount to more than
twice the amount that would have
been paid to the father.
MILLER, ACCUSED OF
| STEALING $2,500 HAS
$1,000 WHEN ARRESTED
On the person of John Gordon
j Miller, who is accuse’d of having
j stolen $2,500 in Fairbanks April

1 where the accused is held in jail.
Applciation for Extradition
.
An application for the extradi
tion of Miller left by airmail to

neau. He is expected to approve
the application without delay
and to send by the first south

mal request to Gov. Clarence D
Martin of Washington for return ,
of the accused to Alaska.
An indictment charging Miller i
with grand larceny was returned

clerk in the accounting office of
Kelly and Byrd, Gladys S. Reed,
and Doris Davie, clerks; Alaska

aska Airways, and Rex Parrot
who roomed at the same place as

Immediately after the return
of tha indictment into court, Jud
ge Harry E. Pratt authorized the
issuance of a bench warrant for
Miller’s arrest. |
United States Attorney Ralph:
J. Rivers made out the papers re I *'
questing the extradition.
No Delay Expected
No delay is expected to be en
countered from Miller in Wash
ington, and just as soon as extra
dition is granted by Gov. Martin,
the prisoner will be brought to
Fairbanks for trial.

en on April 3, from a safety box
in Fairbanks, $2,500. belonging
