Great Britain does not intend to

By December Is
8 MILLION WORKERS
HAVE JOB INSURANCE
BY JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (UP).
The social security board yester-
day ordered 81 new field offices
opened to speed preparations for
insuring 66,660G00,000 workers
against penniless old age.
With 81 offices now open, the
board will have l08 centers of in
formation operating by December
10 in the attempt to set up in
dicidual wage accounts for per-
sons compelled by law to enroll in
the Old aTe annuity system, which
takes effect January 1. Applica-
ton cards went out to fifty mil
lion wage earners yesterday in an
attempt to reach everyone eligible.
Chairman John G. Winant call
ed his first press conference yes
terday to announce the expansion,
Before it was held, he made. a
quick telephone survey Of the II
regional offices to find out how
returns were coming in from the
100000 employers previously
furnished with cards. He was able
to report that a "high percentage"
of the cards had been filled out
and filed with the board.
Both workers and employer:
are affected by the impending old
age annuity system. Each will be
taxed, starting Janury |, by the
federal government. The worker
will pay one per cent of his wage
The employer will deduct the
amount from his pay envelope
match it with like sum, anc
transmit it to the government
where it will 60 into a fund from
which in 1912 the first benefits
will be paid.
The old age annuities are onl!
one feature Of the act, and The
only one wholly federal in opera
ton. Every eligible worker-ant
that includes all except farm
hands, domestic servants, govern
ment employees and few minoI
Observation-Disclosures pay taxes t
buy himself an annuity.
Another main feature of thu
program is the unemployment in
surance plan. This is joint fed
eral-state proposition. The states
draft laws to insure their wage
earners benefits when they be
come iobless. The federal gov
eminent steps in to collect a three
per cent payroll tax from all EN-
ployers. Then it returns 90 pc
cent of the tax collected from
state wit han unemployment in
surance law to that state.
This plan also takes effec
January 1 on a national basis.
Already 100000 workers ar
protected by unemployment in
! surance. But in the 80 state
without laws for the jobless, tn
federal payroll tax takes effec
January / regardless of that fact
and these states will not get tn
90 per cent rebate. 1t is estimate
they will pay $71,000,000 in take
next year. This has led several t
ask postponemeut Of the date b
which they must comply. Winan
was asked for his opinion on de
lay.
"That's matter for congress t
decide. he said, "but the boar
will not recommend postpone
ment,"

CRUSADE TO
0USTRE

RICHMOND, Va, March IL.
Drawing support from civic and
patriotic organizations and
churches of all denominations,
the America for God Crusade"
to drive communism and atheism
out Of the country was launched
here last night.
Destined to spread throughout
the country, the movement won
spontaneous support as one
speaker after another stepped to
the pulpit of historic old st.
Johns Episcopal Church to voice
opposition to Red RuSSia'S teach
ing of radicaliSm in America.
Nation Is Invited
In the same auditorium which
once resounded to the voice OF
Patrick Henry in his immortal
plea of "Give me liberty or give
me DEATH" prelates and laymen
were one in urging all Amerl-
cans to join the movement.
Mrs. Victoria Booth Demarest,
temporary president of the Amer.
ica for God Crusade" sounded
this keynote appeal:
To-day, in our great country
of America, both faith and
liberty are greatly endangered.
America stands to lose her glOri-
GUS liberties and this has been
attributed to the appalling in
crease of communism, mate
rialiSm and other iSmS."
Mrs. Demarest assailed forces
obstructive of democracy and
Christianity" but added the in
roads made by Communists might
well be laid at the door Of those
who have "lost faith in religion.
Indifference ASsailed
She insisted that there is an
amazing display Of indifference
on the part of those who call
themselves Christians and insisted
that until that indifference is dis
PEELED there can be no hope of
wiping out atheistic teachings by
Communists.
Bishop Collins Denny, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Vir-
ginia. voiced the support of his
church in the drive on radicaliSm.
So, too, did Col. Fred W. Seller, di-
viSiopal commander of the Saliva
tion Army, and George T. Waite,
secretary of the Baptist Home Mis-
sion Board of Virginia.
Although unable to attend the
de di catory exercises, leading
churchmen of the Catholic and
Jewish faiths sent messages to the
sponsors Of the meeting, announc-
ing their complete support Of the
movement.
