Social Security Director
Observes Agency at Work
In 25th Year of Existence
Although Alaska has been a
state for less than two years, Al

Federal social security law since
it was first passed 25 years ago,
Victor Christgau, national direc
tor of the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance, said in
Nome yesterday.
Visiting the 49th state to ob
serve at first hand the operation
of the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance which is now
making payments of monthly
benefits to 5,750 Alaskans in a
monthly amount of $330,000,
Christgau pointed out that the
Bureau has always tried to bring
its services as close as possible
to the people seeking those ser
vices.
Speaking of the number of peo
ple drawing benefits, Christgau
explained that they are people
who have retired and their de
pendents, disabled people of 50
or over and their dependents, and
the depenents of people who have
died. In each case, the family pro
vider has worked enough to meet
the qualification for benefits.

on his tour of Bureau facilities
are Ernest W. Tallman, regional
representative for the Bureau of
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance,
and Carl E. E. Webber, assistant
regional representative, both from
