Relatives to Receive Benefits
Death Social Security No. Holder
The recent amendments to the
Social Security Act make cur
ate and prompt compilation of
death statistics more imp< rtant
than ever before. In view if this
situation, the Territorial Auditor,
Frank A. Boyle, Who is also the
Registrar of Vital Statistics for
Alaska, has entered into m ag
reement w ith the Social S cur
ity Board whereby the territor
ial vital statistic officials agree to;
notify the Alaska Office of the
death of any person who during!
his lifetime had been issued a
social security account number.
Mr. Boyle has notified al] U S
Commissioners of this agreeuenl
and each Commissioner is asked i
to send in a Proof of Death dir
ectly to the Alaska Social Scour
ity Board Office. In the cases of a
death in towns serviced by the!
U. S, Signal Corps, the commis
sioners are asked to wire in the
required information.
It is estimated by Mr. Boyle
during 1940 some 300 holders of
social security numbers will die.
The widows, children, or depend
ent parents of these persons may
have insurance benefits due them
under the Old-Age and Surviv-'
ors Insurance provisions of the
Social Security Act, and Mr. Boy !
le has assured the Social Secur
ity Board his office as well as |
the U. S. Commissioners thru
out Alaska will do everything
possible to bring to the B ard
attention these potential claim-1
ants in order that their benefit
rights may be promptly adjudi
cated by tiie Board.

tor Harold (“Whitey") Dahl set
foot on United States soil for the
fust time in three years and de

SAFETY S ABURNINC QUESTI ON—({lasing merrily, a 900-horsepower plane engine
is propped before a wind tunnel from which blows air at a speed of 70 m.p.h., in a demonstration
staged at Washington, D. C„ to show a new Civil Aeronautics Authority device. Soon after above was
made, a blast of carbon dioxide gas exti iguished the flames w itliin five seconds.
{die, but General Franco relented
when Dahl’s wife sent her pic
ture to Franco. Dahl said that
his actress wife’s letters to Fran
1 co was what really saved him
from a firing squad.
He denied that he was shot
I down while Hying for the Span
ish Loyalist forces. Said Dahl:
"I simply fell down a power
dive on July 22, 1937. when one
f the wings of my plane broke
IT. Fortunately. I managed to
land safely behind General Fran
co’s lines."
Commenting on reports that
he was faced with check charg
es, the aviator declared, This is
the first time I have ever heard
anything about the checks. Frank
ly I don’t know anything about
the charge.”
It was reported that Los An
geles police had issued a war
rant for Dahl’s arrest on bad
check charges. But it was sig
nificant on his arrival aboard the
freighter Exiria, that police did
not attempt to arrest the aviator.
