WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
IF Congress is to adopt social Sc
curity legislation, it is time that we
established the needs and the wants
of those in whose interest such leg

resentative Matthew Dunn, chair
man of the Sub Committee of the

ment announcing the opening of
the hearings tomorrow morning.
The hearings are expected to last
ten days and will be held daily in

Congressman Dunn Democrat,
Pennsylvania has established a
political precedent by inviting the
worker, farmer. professional and
other groups most vitality concerned
in unemployment and social legtsla-
ton, rather than the usual big bust

suggestions for the enactment of
practical legislation"
Workers Groups to Testify
ut Is our intention to encourage
representatives of the unemployed,
of the workers in the various in
dustries, of farmers, professional
and other interested groups to tes-
tify in these hearings on conditions
as they know them from their own
experience and observation" Dunn's
announcement said.
cat the same time we also will
hear the experts, social workers
actuaries and others who can sug-
gest how the needs revealed in the
testimony of rank-and-file workers
can be met by practical legislation. y
The Workers Bill, H. R. 1927
which was initiated by the Com
munist Party and introduced in
the House of Representatives by Err

Minnesota, said Dunn, "has received
the support of many thousands of
organizations and millions Of per-

MOSCOW, Feb. (By Wireless).
Responding in explicit terms to
the recent speech made by Secre-
tary of State Hull, Maxim Litvinov,
Soviet Foreign Commissar, declared
that "the basic principles in the
agreement on the liquidation of the
Soviet American mutual money
claims were worked out in my per-
sonal negotiations with President
Roosevelt about a year ago."
"These principles, Litinov stated,
"corresponded fully with the re-
peated statements of the Soviet
Government that it is prepared TO
discuss the question of old debts
only on the condition that 1t recog-
nizes it's counter claims and affords
money loans I, therefore, left
Washington fully convinced that
further negotiations would only re-
fer to details in the agreement and
will, therefore, not cause any diff
f1culty."
Continuing, Litvinov declared:
Unfortunately, in subsequent
negotiations which began in Moscow
with me by Bullitt, American AM
bassador to the Soviet Union, and
later continued with the State De-
partment by Troyanovsky, one of
the fundamental points in the
agreement reached in Washington,
namely, regarding loans, was put
in doubt. The proposals of the So
Wet representatives kept strictly
within the boundaries of this agree
ment, carrying concessions to the

Natural Use
Of Names Is
Office Need
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: There are
three distinct situations that I
should like very much to have you ex-
plain. The first of them is: When I.
Anne Kent have occasion to tele-
phone my employers wife, whom I
know rather well, how should an
nounce myself? The second is when
I have occasion to telephone my en-
ployer. The third occurs when tele-
phoning a social equal but one who is
practically stranger"
Answer-Ir wonder if you have the
same name? Or have you knowingly.
just for fun, taken the name of my
own personal secretary? At all events:
ID Since you say that you know Mrs.
Employer rather well, you would prob
ably say, Mrs. Employer, this is Anne
Kent" : Or, if you see much of her
outside Of business hours, you would
say This is Anne" But according to
correct rule, This is Miss Kent" is
undoubtedly best form to use when
speaking to business acquaintance.
ca I must also preface this answer
with the foregoing statement of cor
rect form in business Even though
you know the Employers very well, and
1t is their custom to call you Anne"
after Office hours, carelessly using first
names during business hours is an
unwise habit to fall into, but we fol-
low habits unconsciously and would
all too easily let first names slip be-
fore other business associates and
quite possibly strangers. And the OBJ
lection to this is the inevitable lower
ing Of Office prestige-which is, in
turn, important in proportion to the
firms importance. In an average Of
flee, composed of your employer and
half q dozen employees. you could
adopt q halfway form, such as This
Is A. K.," which has neither the ia
miliarity Of announcing yourself SIM
ply as ANNE" nor what in q simple
community may seem an absurd for
mality if you call yourself Miss
Kent" And yet one point to remem-
Der is that business form should not
be affected by personal friendship out
side Of business hours.
(3) When telephoning either Mr.. or
Mrs. Stranger, you say This is Miss
Kent, Mr.. Employers secretary" But
to one whom you regard as personal
acquaintance. especially to a woman
of similar position in another Office,
to whom you telephone constantly.
you would say 'This is Anne Kent"
And to o friend-even one who Is
equally friend Of the Employer
This Is Anne" In other words, apart
from considering the prestige Of the
ONCE. you would do whatevF seems
to you natural
