Christmas Day may be a time
Of glee for little children-but It
is not always joyous occasion for
their favorite patron, Santa Claus.
Did you ever wonder about the
private life of the gentlemen who,
representing the jolly saint in
downtown stores, greet thousands
of kids during the weeks prior to
Christmas?
You may be interested to know
that some Of these men. whose
duty is to bring gladness into the
hearts of young 'uns, have no
gladness in their own hearts at
Christmas.
Alone, FriendleSS
Some of these men are alone,
friendleSs and forgotten by the
world when the saint they imper.
senate is supposedly sliding down
chimneyS to fill little stockings
with toys and goodies.
or several SantaS interviewed
in downtown stores, two have
no relatives. No one sends them
presents on Christmas. They have
no one to whom to give presents.
Christmas is to them just another
day-except that its coming
means their duties as Santa are
done, and they must seek other
employment.
One Santa confesses to con-
tinual unemployment. He is by
profession a vaudeville Sleight-of-
hand artist. He has appeared on
every vaudeville circuit in the
country. But he says:
Times are hard. 1t is diff
cult to find q job"
FIRST ROLE AS SANTA
His present work as Kris
Kringle is the first he has had in
long time, and also his first
appearance in the role of Santa.
But he has one unique qualifica-
ton for the role-he has actually
driven real, live reindeer.
Proudly he shows a member
ship card in an American Legion
post in Juneau, Alaska, where he
gained first.hand experience with
the animals proverbially the
SteedS Of Santa Claus.
Another Santa had one relative
"a SiSter-but she died two years
ago.
This man, a kindly chap who
is by profession a miller, re-
marked that in II years he has
worked at only two professions
that of miller and that of Santa.
With him also, however. work
Is scarce. He is now hoping he
can obtain the job of miller at the
recently reconstructed Pierce Mill
in Rock Creek Park because, ne
explains, he is one of the few old
time millers in the country who
know how to run a mill of long
ago.
Loves Children
He is cheerful, especially when
discussing the children who visit
him. He loves them. And he
claims there are more children
this year than in any other of his
five years experience as a Santa
Claus in Washington. Business
is picking up, he says.
Another Santa interviewed is
more fortunate. He was formerly
a grocery employee in Campbell
county, Va. This is his second
year as Kris Kringle.
He is unusual because he and
his wife have two children-both
of whom know he plays" Santa,
but still believe there is a really,
truly Santa Claus. His two boys
are IA and 10 years old.

CLARK PENSION
PLAN SUBJECT
OF new FIGHT
House and Senate ConfereeS
on Security Bill Principals
in TuSSIe.
81 Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 11.-House
and Senate conferees on the eco
nomic security bill are engaged in
a behind-the-sCenes tussle over the
Clark amendment, written into the
bill on the Senate floor. This
amendment would exempt plants
with private retirement systems
from the workings of the old-age
contributory annuity fund.
A majority of the House con-
ferees are said to oppose the
amendment. while a majority OF
Senate %conferees want to keep it..
The Administrations social Secur-
ity experts are eager to have the
amendment removed.
The chief argument offered
against the amendment is a pre-
diction that under it private COM
panies would spring up in great
numbers in competition with the
government system. The private
plans, it is argued, would tend to
keep younger workers on pay rolls
and pry loose the Older mes.
Thus, the Federal fund might be
drained of its aSsetS-younger work
ers contributing to the fund-and
saddled with extra liabilities-old
people drawing benefits.
One of the great industrial prob
lens is to preserve work opportu-
mites for older men above 40" said
Senator Wagner. The original
security bill did away with the in
centive to rid industry of older
workers, because employer-employe
contributions are the same regard
less of age. There is no financial
advantage for employers under the
federal system to employ only
younger men.
THE Clark movement would
make the bill work the opposite
way. Records show that of all those
entitled to draw pensions from in
duStry under voluntary systems only
4 per cent r actually drawing
benefits. Men are rarely employed
until they reach the pension age.
1hlS amendment would Vltlate
the federal old-age annuity system,
and possibly wreck it,"
Il would almost rather see the
old-age annuity feature of this
bill beaten than see the Clark
amendment kept" said Rep. Lewis
Cd. Md, House sponsor of the bill.
The Clark amendment departs
from theory and practice as worked
out in every other country. 1t is
based on the Simple Simon argyll
ment that because private plans
work well they should be encour-
aged. They would spread and tend
to wreck the Federal system. This
amendment makes a mockery of a
sound and just security system"

HIGHEST
SINCE MAY e
Prices 10 to rs Cents
Higher; Top Value
at 5000.

With indications of a hog short
age in this area, the pork market in
early trading at the indianapolis
Union Stockyards today moved 10
to Is cents higher, establishing a
new top price for the current mar
ket since May %.
Available supplies were light
compared with previous figures and
a strong demand prevailed in prac-
tically all classes. Surrounding
livestock centers for some time have
reported scarcity of supplies, but
this was the first time it has been
experienced at the Indianapolis
market.
Receipts were estimated at only
4O00. The supply recently has been
running below the normal mark OF
5000. This, however, has created a
strong demand for hogs in this sec
ton, since several other markets
also depend on the local run to fin
iSh filling their requirements. The
light shipments probably will re-
suit in sharply higher prices unless
an increase appears within the next
few days.
The general, bulk of 100 to 225
pounds, caShed in at SOTO to 5000.
This also was today'S top price. EX-
tremely heavy classes, ranging from
300 pounds and upward, brought SO
to $3.50. In the light slaughter
weight division, hogs scaling 100 to
100 bounds, sold at 1925 to $9.75,
while other, from 100 to 100 pounds,
held at $3.50 to SO. Packing soWs
sold at SITS to $8.75. Holdovers
were 10.
Trading developed slow in the
cattle market, especially in steers
where prices were weak to largely
Is cents lower than yesterdays best
average. The bulk vas valued to
sell downward from $1,000. Other
classes were active and fully steady.
Better grade heifers brought $3.50 to
$10.25.
Vealers were weak to so cents
lower. The general bulk ranged
from So down, while top held at
$3.50. Receipts were 700. Trading
was dull in the lamb market and
prices were mostly unchanged. Bulk
of eve and wether classes sold from
SITS to $3.50. Bucks were dis
counted 81, while slaughter sheep
sold at ST to So. Receipts were 1900.

legal reserve depository act. Under
the provisions of this measure all
domestic corporations are compelled
to deposit with the department. the
reserve value of all policies over a
year old. At the present time In
diana has entrusted to it 1852, 000, 900
under the provisions Of this act.
The idea behind the foregoing is
that in the event of the failure of
a company, the reserve held by
the Insurance Department is suf-
fcieht to relnsure the risks held
by the defunct corporation. In eff
feet. it virtually guarantees the
policyholder.
The Indiana Insurance Law needs
227 pages to tell its complex story
of insurance supervision in this
state. Consequently, it may be said
that the Insurance Department
regulates everything of the inSur-
ance companies, even keeping an
eye on rates. In the matter of rates
however, competition largely does
the work of regulation.

BeariSh News Sends Values
Down 3 IA Cents.
By United Press

By UnttcG Press
CHICAGO, July 11.-Wheat
prices on the Board of Trade
Slumped as much as ga cents a
bushel at market-opening today.
Hanging over the market when the
opening gong sounded was a stag
gering load of overnight news that
traders interpreted as preponder-
antly bearish.
The chief factor was the gov
eminent report, issued yesterday
after the market close. The report
showed an increase in anticipated
yield and simultaneously the gov
eminent report the black rust scare
was exaggerated.
The combination of the two fac
tors bore the market down as much
as a cent at a time at the opening.
