Ssh. TO BALTIMORE

And in the meantime, nothing
could provide a better demonstra.
ton of the way in which govern
ment offices have made Washing
ton the most crowded city ii
America than the fact that the So
cial Security board had to go te
Baltimore, to find a suitable build
ing to house it's departments.
The board found that it was go
ing to require, at the very begin
ming of its work in connection
with the Old Age Benefit lnsur-
ance part Of its work, at least 12o,-
900 square feet of floor space. Mo-
that much space could be found in
the District of Columbia.
One hundred and twenty thou>
sand square feet is as mueh*as is
included in a ten-story building,
100 x 120 feet in area. Moreover:
besides needing floor space, the
board found that it would have to
fill that floor space with such
heavy load that nothing short OF
factory construction would carry
it.
There will be more than $4,000:
600 individual filing cards tor
ready reference. This includes the
original registration cards filled out
bv workers, and the official copies
of them which will constitute the
working file. The cards alone will
weigh about 100000 pounds.
The board found a factory bullo
ing in Baltimore with three acres
of floor space; is moving into it
and hopes to be ready on January
to begin keeping the records of the
earnings of the estimated 25'ooo'-
900 workers who come under the
Old Age Benefits provisions OF the
Social Security Act. Also, a record
of the payment of the income tax
of one per cent of each worker,
wages and the additional payroll
tax of one percent paid by his en-
ployer.
The decision of the Supreme
Court by a tie vote Of four to four
that the New York state unemPloy
ment compensation law is constitu-
tional is held here to indicate that
the unemployment insurance pro-
visions of the Social Security Act
NAV also be held constitutional.

King Edward VIII abdicated his
throne Thursday.
He is expected to marry Wallis
Warfield Simpson, attractive d.
vorce, in the near future. His abb
dication is the result of his desire
to marry Mrs. Simpson which was
bitterly opposed by the aristocrats
Of England.
Albert, 4o-year old brother and
Duke of York, will succeed Edward
to the throne. He will reign as
George vi.
King Edward, in renouncing the
British throne, said in part:
II have determined to
the throne.
"After long and anxious consid-
Grafton l have determined to re-
nounce the throne to which | sue
ceeded on the death of my father
and l am now communicating this,
my final and irrevocable decision.
Realizing as I do the gravity of
this step, | can only hope that I
shall have the understanding of my
peoples in the decision | have taken
and the reasons which have led me
to take it.
Il have accordingly this morn
ing executed an instrument of abb
dication in the terms following:
II, Edward VIII, of Great Brit
ain, Ireland and the British domin-
ions beyond the seas, king and emp
eror of India, do hereby declare my
irrevocable determination to re-
nounce the throne for myself and
for my descendants and my desire
that effect should be given to this
instrument of abdication immedi-
"In token whereof l have here
unto set my hand this tenth day
of December, 1886, in the presence
of the witnesses whose signatures
are subscribed.
Signed, Edward R. l."

Possible changes in the Social
Security Act is one of the principal
subjects being discussed by admin.
istration officials and members OF
Congress preliminary to the open
ing of the first session of the 18th
Congress, which will begin on Jan
uary $.
The feeling is quite general that
the act is not sufficiently compre-
hensive, in hat it does not take in
agricultural workers, domestic ser,
wants and employees of educational
charitable and scientific institu
lions and of 'instrumentalists OF
state and Federal governments"
The treasu1y's ruling that all
banks which are members of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo-
ration are instrumentalities of the
government removes all bank en-
ployees from the provisions of the
Act as it now stands.
There is also some talk about the
possibility Of eliminating the indi-
vidual tax on employees pay en-
velopes and providing for old age
retirement benefits out Of general
taxation. 1t is not considered prob
able that this will be done.
1t is certain, however, that the
whole subject of old age pensions,
either by means of individual COM
tributions of provisions for old age
assistance to those in need will be
one of the most actively debated
questions to which the new Con-
eress will have to find a satisfac-
tory answer.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
is BEING ABUSED
May Be Necessary To Restrict Adj
mission of Children Before
Morning Opening

Some children in the Henderson
high school are showing tendency
to abuse the new building and are not
taking care of it as they should, and
are thus creating a problem for the
school authorities, who are anxious to
preserve the new structure in all it's
beauty and attractiveness, it was
learned today from reliable source.
AS a result of the apparent indif-
ference of many students in caring
for the property, plan is under con-
sideration whereby students will be
admitted in the morning only five
minutes before the hour for classes to
start.
Soaring of floors, walls and furni-
ture have been complained of, and
there has developed tendency on
the part of some to show little or no
appreciation iof the costly building
that has been provided for them in
getting their higher educational
training at the hands of the COM
munity.
