SHOW ME- STATE. HEAD IS SHOWN N SCENIC ALASKA
Governor Stark of Missouri Boosts Native State
 But Enjoys North

The Governor of the show me- state came to Alaska and was shown -"the Alost beautiful scenery in the world"
 That's how Gov. Lloyd c. Stark guest of Rear Admiral Joseph K. Taussig. feels about Alaska after his first voyage north.
 Yet Gov. Stark, impressed as he is with Uncle Sam's northernmost possession, could not subdue pride in his native state And since Rear Admiral Taussig and his St. Louis cousin, James Taussig Jr., are both Missourians, Gov. Stark was able to boost Missouri successfully.
 "I'll let you in on little secret, he confided to a reporter for The Empire (who also happened to be a native Missourian) Missouri sons won the World War. Let's go down the line Gen. John J. Pershing commander of the American forces; Admiral Robert E. Coontz, in charge of the American navy, Champ Clark, President Wilson's close adviser and General Lena Crowder, in charge of the draft all these were Missourians.
 Heaps it On
 And, as a matter of fact. Gen. eral Malin Craig, chief of staff of the United States army today, is a Missourian. Then, if you'll look in the Washington museum, you'll see Ia portrait of Admiral Taussig, then Commander Taussig, speaking to the British Admiral Bailey at the beginning of the World War, saying We're ready nowP"
 Gov. Stark, a graduate of Anapo- lis. served four years after his gra- duation in the Navy, but when the World War broke out he joined the Lrmy ''so I could get in the heat of the action" He did, and held inn portant posts in various training camps before getting abroad in 1918 and seeing service in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offen- sives.
 In Important Posts
 He was elected governor of his home state in 1936, after holding many important national posts, in cluding those of chairmanship of the $75.000,000 Missouri highway ex- penditures, the Presidency of a new bridge spanning the Mississip- pi River, and Presidency of the Am

SOVIET PLIERS ARE GOING TO SEE HOLLYWOOD
Are Visiting American Air plane Factories Today
 At Civic Lun cheon

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 15.-The three Russian fliers who arrived from Moscow yesterday and landed near San Jacinto, today started out to inspect American airplane factories, also Hollywood A civic luncheon was given here, then there will be a big welcome when they motor to Los Angeles.
 The three airmen sent greetings to their countrymen at Moscow by a short wave broadcast last night.
 Claude Ryan, builder of Lind bergh's Spirit of St. Louis, exam ined the Russian aircraft and pro- nounced in a marvel in compactness and efficiency.
 The fliers crouched in a slender fuselage compartment, four feet long and less than three feet wide.
 Their flying time has been defin- itely established at 62 hours and IT minutes for a straight line dis tance flight of 6,262 miles.
 The three Soviet fliers who made the Polar flight from Moscow to San Jacinto were taken to March field yesterday morning soon after their landing in pasture. A mili- tary guard was placed over the plane.
 The trio of airmen, Milhail Gro- moff, pilot; Andrei YumoslHff, CO., pilot. and Sergei Danilyn, navi- gator, made it known by signs they wanted to bathe, eat and sleep. When they arrived at Marchfield they were shown to the showers and as they emerged smiling, they lined up for photographers. The three were all neatly dressed and their gray trousers were even press led.
 1 Gromoff told the Russian En- bassy, by long distance phone, that they landed in California because they wanted to land in the United States and not continue to Mexico.
 Battle Snow, Winds
 Gromoff said they left Moscow at 4:22 p. m. Pacific Coast time, last Sunday and they figured it took them 62 hours and IT minutes.
 The fliers battled snow and sy- clonic winds before reaching the North Pole at ALA p. m. Monday. On this phase of the flight. the plane was kept at an altitude of 6, 800 feet or more to escape the wind resistance.
 After passing the northernmost spot on the globe, the fliers streak ed out across the wild reaches of the Yukon and Northwest Terri tories. A favorable wind kept the plane ahead of schedule. Their Objective It became known that the fliers' objective was beyond Oakland, and with no maps and mountain range between San Diego and Marchfield, they became confused and failing to find Marchfield, they decided to come down in a pasture, which was three miles from San Jacinto.

POLI'S

You had better don your shock absorbers before you run uown to Loews Poli today where Love from Stranger" starring Ann Harding with Basil Rathmone opens a three day engagement. This picture will raise your hair and send chi!ls down your spine as few films have done.
 But don't let us mislead you. This screen version of the late Frank Vosper's stage success of the same name is no mere horror" film, but an intensely absorbing and brilliant ly acted pSycho-analytical study of a murderer.
 As a matter of fact, the story opens as innocently as you could wish, but it builds slowly and ire vocably to a terrific climax, in which both stars rise to magnificent emotional heights.
 Here is new Ann Harding in her first appearance in an English picture. Her acting portrayS more feeling and depth than she has ever attained before.
 The story, which was ingeniously adapted to the screen by Frances Marion and directed by Rowland ". Lee casts the lovely, long suffering Ann as a Londo nstenographer who is frankly bored to tears with her hum drum life. Then, one morning, she wins a fortune ill the sweep stakes and her whole life changes.
 A handsome stranger, in the per- son of MT. Rathbone, enters her life and sweeps her off her feet. After a glorious whirlwind courtshlp in Paris, they marry and the girl has two months of heaven"
 Then, suddenly all is changed and she is tossed into disillusionment more grim, more bitter, more hor- rible than she could possibly have dreamed of, as she bravely makes the transition from mental to physi- cal torture. We promise you that the climax of this picture is the most unusual and absorbing ever seen and will bring the most hard boiled movie-goer to the edge of his seat.
 If you have an ounce of cinema sense you won't miss this great fea- ture. The second big hit on this outstanding program is Harold Bell Wright,s newest outdoor thriller, "It Happened Out West" played against the magnificent background of the the great West and featuring Paul Kelly and Judith Allen.

 Q.-What part of the Social Be- curity Act was involved in the courts decision? A.-Title II of the law, which provides for establish ment of old age benefit payments, was the basic issue involved. The decision was based specifically, how ever, on the constitutionality of taxes under Title VIII, which raises the money to finance old age bene- fits.
 Q.-What purpose did the New Deal have in mind in enacting the old age benefits law? A.-The pr1- mary purpose was to establish form of financial security for work CTS who reach old age without any assured source of support. This, It was held, would encourage retire ment of older workers and increase the opportunities of youth.
 Not Compelled to Retire
 Q.-Would the worker be com pelled to retire at the age of 65? A.-No. It provides only that he IS eligible for retirement but might continue to work without paying additional taxes or receiving full benefits.
 Q.-Are all workers eligible for old age benefits? All workers with limited exceptions. It does not ap- ply to farm labor. domesticS, casual labor not in the course of the em- ployer's business, seafarerS, federal or state employees, charitable work CTS, or railroad employees, the last ot which are covered by separate legiS- lation.
 Q.-Is the idea of old age pensions new? A. Mo- Many foreign coun- tries have them. American indus tries for years have maintained re- tirement plans for workers who have grown old in the employ of one em- ployer.
 Q,-How was the Federal law de- signed to operate! A.-Each work CT is taxed a percentage of his ln- come. An equal tax is imposed on the payroll of each employer. The emrUye's tax, withheld by the em- ployer, is paid to the treasury where it becomes part of the general fund. ITO each workers credit an account is set up with the social security board where a record is kept of his income. Benefits payable at his re- ltirement are made computable or Ithe basis of his earnings after the date the act became effective.
 Some Not Eligible
 Q.-Were all workers made ell- 'gible for a benefit of uniform Iamount. A.-No. The size of the lbeuefit payment is based on the em- Iployes earnings under the act, with Ia maximum amount of $85 a month payable after retirement.
 Q.-Are old age benefits the same as old age assistance? A.-Old age assistance, provided through the 6tates which set up old age benent payments of their own, is different. [t is provided for in another part bf the Social Security Act. The Federal government, under the as- bistance provision of law, contrib utes equally with the state to the ex- Lent of $15 monthly in the payment bf benefits to the aged. The state assistance provision of the law was hot involved in the case decided to- Hay.
 All Goes Into Treasury
 o.-Is the money paid by each worker toward his old age benefits set aside for him? >A.-No. The re- eeipts are paid directly into the Fed kral treasury and from the treasury Eongress is required to appropriate hnough each year to pay benefits:
