SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT
CARDS
CARDS

Issuance at this time of social Sc
curity account numbers to workers
who are IS years, or more, of age, is
for the record purposes of the Mary
land and other State unemployment
compensation programs, Luther
Becker in charge of the Social Secur-
ity Board office at 800 Court Square
Building, Baltimore, stated.
His statement was prompted by
realization that many of the older
workers applying for account num-
bers believe they are now eligible for
Federal old-age benefits, Mr.. Becker
said. The Social Security Board
feels that this false impression should
be corrected Immediately, he added.
The statement continued:
"a few weeks ago the issuance of
social security account numbers was
extended to include workers beyond
IS years Of age This was done in
order to aid Maryland and the other
States and Territories in setting up
records for unemployment compensa-
ton programs. State unemploy-
ment compensation laws cover en-
ployees of all ages; whereas the
wages received by workers for en-
ployment after they reach IS are not
counted toward old-age benefits un-
der the Federal program.
mo Federal tax for unemploy-
ment compensation purposes is levied
on employees in commercial and in
dustrial groups. OF the At States
and Territories now having unem-
ployment compensation laws only
eight, Alabama, California, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey and
Rhode Island, require contributions
for employees.
Account numbers are being is
sued to employees IS years Of age
and over, as well as to others, thru
more than $4,000 post offices which
are being used until June 80 in the
assignment Of account numbers un-
der the Federal old-age benefits pro-
gram of the Social Security Act.
can employee may choose any one
of four different ways to file his COM
pleted application. They are: ID.
through his employer, or (2) through
any labor union of which he is a
member, or 60 by delivering it to
his local post Office, or (4) by mail
ing it in sealed envelope addressed,
Postmaster, Local.
Information on applications for
account numbers, by agreements be-
tween the official State unemploy-
ment compensation administrations
and the Social Security Board, will
be held as absolutely confidential and
will be used by the State agencies as
well as by the Social Security Board
solely in the administering of social
security laws"

CHEVROLET SAFETY PROGRAM

Chevrolet's own Traffic Safety Pro-
gram has reduced the severity Of ac-
cidents during the past three years,
according to figures released this
week by G. A. Kleist, Chevrolet bud
get director.
The reduction is reflected in a
sharp decrease in the amount paid in
claims in the last two years as COM
pared with 1884, Mr.. Kleist declared.
Using the amount paid in 1894 as
100 per cent, the year 1885 showed
a reduction of 61.S per cent; and the
year 1886 showed an additional re-
duction of 22.1 per cent under 1886,
or a total per cent reduction of
1907 per cent under 1894.
Through the continued application
of the principles of the safety pro-
gram, the accident liability rate was
reduced IT'S per cent, Mr.. Kleist
said, and this has meant a saving Of
many thousands of dollars to Chew
rolet. In time saved, and In increas-
ed efficiency, Chevrolet's safety pro-
gram has also gained noteworthy re-
suits.
The program was organized two
years ago by w. E. Holler, Chevrolet
general sales manager. All drivers
of company-owned cars were enlisted
in the campaign. Posters and stick
ers are sent out periodically to the
entire Chevrolet personnel, contin-
ually calling upon drivers to Make
This Month a No-Accident Month. Z"
The posters are displayed prominent
ly on company property, and the
stickers are posted ON the dash of
every company car.
Courtesy and care are stressed as
the two most important safety fac
tors in driving, based on the proven
fact that most highway accidents are
preventable, Mr.. Kleist explained.
Under the program, all drivers
who maintain perfect safety record
for full year receive gold medal
lions; drivers who go six months
without an accident receive silver
medallions; three months, bronze
medallions.
Drivers of truckaway trucks re-
ceive certificates in inscribed leather
pocket cases, so that when they
change trucks they carry their
awards with them.

Young Democratic Clubs
Baltimore Lawyer Reelected Preai-
dent-COunty Clubs Out
voted

Lawrence Fenneman, assistant city
solicitor of Baltimore, was reelected
for two-year term as president of
the Young Democratic Clubs of
Maryland, Saturday, at Salisbury.
Mr.. Fenneman's reelection at the
annual convention was effected with
out opposition on the floor because of
the fact that the Baltimore city dele
cation was able to outvote the COM
bined county unit by five ballots.
When county leaders found them
selves overwhelmed they bowed to
the 40-vote city backing of Mr.. Fen
neman. Thirty-five county votes
were present. There also was oppo-
sition in the city to the assistant city
solicitors continuing in office, but
the votes of Baltimore were bound
under the unit rule.
After the election, Mr.. Fenneman
promised he would not seek reelec-
ton two years hence. He has head
ed the Young Democrats since 1925.
The convention reelected Harry
Korrel as secretary and Delegate
Kent r. Mulliken (Dem., Prince
George's), majority floor leader of
the House of Delegates, as treasurer.
Major Jackson, Senator Radcliffe,
and Herbert R. O'Conor, attorney
general, were speakers at the session.

ARTHUR M. BROWN
 POSES AS LEADER
tcontinued from Page D

states Attorney Brown, candidate for governor in the i0s6 elections. Brown, however, was regarded as not seeking either post.
 His statement was seen as repre- sentative of the thought of republic can leaders in the state.
 "A good deal of enlightenment would come from 8 convention of that sort" Brown said.
 'T don't see why tho g.o.p. shouldn't get together and say where they stand, They shouldn't be afraid to do ik Sometimes . little open speaking Is the best thing"
 Brown left, like Mfr. Hoover, that the great issue facing the voters in l940 is one of personal freedom.
 Personal Freedom
 "I consider mans personal free- dom, within proper bounds, of course, to be the dearest of his pos- sessions," the New London county states attorney continued.
 "He ought to guard 1t with all the strength that within him lies. I believe that the New Deal has tended to be destructive of the rights of American citizens along this line and that this issue is zoe ing to be o very real one in the campaigns to come.
 T feel that such . convention as suggested by Mfr. Hoover will be en. tirely worthwhile"
 Brown said he entirely was in accord with the statement of the former president that the republic can party must make an especial effort to rescruit new members among the youth of the nation,
 Absolutely For It
 T am absolutely for that" he said. "The future of the republl. can party rests with the young within it's ranks and I believe n great effort should be made to in- crease our membership among the youth by 2 re-declaration of party principles"
 Brown said, were he invited to attend such 0 meeting, that he would make an especial effort to attend, depending upon circum- stances and his position within the party when and if the convention Is held.
 The states attorney would not comment on oonjectures that ful- fillment of former President Hooy- CTS plan would jeoparAiae the par. ty leadership now held by John D, M. Hamilton, chairman of the na- tional committee, and Alfred M. Landon, defeated candidate for president.

 No Open Frontier
 France does not intend to throw open her frontier at present or on the basis of the present situation, 1t was learned officially. However, France has called the British gov- ernment's attention to the mutual interest of the two governments in the Mediterranean and h Frenc charge d'affairs Roger Cambon at the London embassy has told the British government that France is dissatisfied with recent Mediterra- mean developments.
 This is in accord with the policy of the government to keep in touch with Britain on all such matters.
 French Formal Complaint
 Paris, Sept. 1. (UP)-France has complained formally to Great Bri- tain against Italy's aid to the Span ish insurgents, the foreign offlce ad- mttted today. There was Q plain suggestion of joint action to bring about general European neutrality.
 The Quai DOrsay confirmed the fact that the French embassy in London had informed Foreign Sec- retary Anthony Eden of Frances concern and dissatisfaction over the latest Italian intervention in Spain, including the exchange of telegrams between Premier Benito Mussolini and Gen. Francisco Franco, insur- gent commander.
 France additionally expressed concern over the alarming fre- quency" of torpedoing of merchant ships in the Mediterranean, which cannot be attributed to Spanish submarines and which occur ct great distances from the coasts of Spain."
 A spokesman said:
 "The patience of the Paris and London governments has 1t limits. It is increasingly difficult to resign themselves to the fiction of non- intervention, which Is so openly and broadly tranSgressed by a power which seems resolved not to take account of It's commitments"
