80 Per Cent of Ultimate
Total Aided in Insurance
in So States.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Social Security Board estimated
today that unemployment insurance in
effect in SO States extends protection
to 17,943,000 wage earners.
This represents 80 per cent of the
total expected when all States con-
form, it was said. and the industrial
States of Delaware, Illinois and Mis-
souri, account for about three-fifthS OF
the workers not yet covered. The
board said 80 per cent would be
reached If the Legislatures of the
States named enact the insurance in
the sessions now under way.
Surveying State laws, the board said
they show certain common trends, but
also indicate the latitude allowed
States in meeting their special needs
under the security act.

Several States have broadened their
laws to cover employers of less than

THE FACTORY DOCTOR

Besides caring for workers acct
dentally injured in their factories,
the factory doctors in the Soviet
Union fulfill many other functions,
according to a writer in Soviet
Russia Today, a monthly magazine
devoted to news about that country.
Among these functions are:
l. Finding types of work suitable
to defective workers.
2. Regular physical check-up of
workers in hazardous occupations.
3. Supervision of workers health
outside the factory, including clinical
treat tent, preventive treatment for
tuberculosis, special diets, and exer-
else.
4. General health education,
through lectures and other methods.
S. Consultation with factory COM
mittees on sanitation in places of
work, and in the healthful construc-
ton of new work buildings.
Because of the achievements of the
factory doctors, loss Of time among
workers has been greatly reduced
below that of workers in similar in
dustries in other countries, and the
general health of workers has risen
proportionately.

Federal provision for social secur-

The present so-called security bill
is fatally defective in several re-

skilled workers do not permit a de-
cent standard of living, the benefit
payment is inadequate, the maxi
mum period of payment is 26 weeks,

The Federal Government must
operate an inclusive social security
program, providing adequate bene-
fits for the entire period of unen-
ployment or disability, to begin at
once. The benefits should be paid
for by an equitable tax system, not
by a tax upon payrolls nor by a tax
upon wages, unless those wages (for

The United States cannot avoid its

 He refused to reveal her name. Whittier said the plants were com- pletely closed down and would re- main so. T admire this woman's character" the vice-president said. 'The union has been working on her to join. They even sent law yer to see her. But she believes in a principle and she doesn't want to join.
 '"The real issue" Whittier said, ''is whether these companies shall be open or closed shop. We pro- pose to retain the open shop"
 The union yesterday lacked 10 of the 160 employees as members. After threatening strike unless these 10 holdoutS joined, nine of them did. The woman refused.
 Association President Raymond Moline said he had a satisfactory bargain with the concerns, and as- serted there was no attempt being made to force closed shop.
 He said certain employees have been encouraging union members to quit the Association because they would get the same wages and working conditions from the com panies whether they were unionized or not.

 AS in the case of arrests, there was no means of obtaining authen- 1 tic figures on executions. There was only one specific announcement for any area-the Far East, where the newspaper Pacific Star announced that 94 men had been executed.
 But the very announcement of charges against scores of men named in newspapers meant that they must face firing squads. Names of prominent men dis missed or arrested mounted hourly.
 In the automotive industry the production chief was warned in newspapers that eight days remained to him to get flow of automobile parts started or to fact trial. Execu- tives of chemical, rubber, textile and other industries were warned that they must increase the efficiency of their units. Some were denounced as Trotskyists. The oficials of big veterinary hospital were charged with sending plague germs instead of medicines to farms.
