ISL FRONTIER, April 10. (UP)
A British destroyer conveying 8
merchant ship Sunday dcficd the
Spanish rebel blockade Of the Bis
cay coast, according to a loyaliSt
dispatches from Gijon.
The destroyer, whose name was
not revealed. was said to have
gone two miles inside Spanish ter,
ritorial waters despite warnings
from the rebel gcneralissimo
Francisco Franco, that his fleet
would seize or sink any Spanish
or neutral ship attempting to run
the Biscay blockade.
Three British destroycrs were
reported to have picked up the
British frcightcr Thorpchall of
the loyaist port Of Bilbao
around which Franco has cstab-
liShcd a starvation blockade in
an effort to starvc 100000 Basque
Spaniards into submission. They
accompanied the merchantmen
southcastward along the coast.
The Thorpchall, with the de-
stroycrs to ward off attacks from
the rebel fleet, steamed 40 miles
along the coast to Puerto Del Mu-
sci. the harbor Of Gijon.
Two dcstroycrs remained out
side the thrcc-milc limit, the 10y
alists reported, but the third
steamed alongside the freighter to
within mile Of the port.
When it was apparent that the
Thorpchal was past any danger
the destroyer turned about, joined
her companion ships and steamed
up the coast. =,
Great Britain, anxious to avoid
any incident which would force
her to warlike measures against
Franco, has warned British MGR
chant ships that they must defy
the rebel blockade at their own
risks. The British navy was or
dcrcd to remain outside the three
mile limit off Bilbao.

RU HENRY AVERHI,

Raleigh, Feb. 22-The national So
cial security program is so broad and
covers so many different groups and
provisions that the average person
finds it as hard as solving a jigsaw
puzzle to make heads or tails of the
whole matter.
For those to whom the publication
is available. full and detailed ex-
plantation of the program can be
found in the February number of
North Carolina Labor and Industry"
the monthly bulletin of the North Car
DINA Department of Labor.
Three Main Divisions.
According to this publication, the
main divisions n70v lc'e termed the A
B C's of the SOC security program,
though there are - J. less than ten di-
visions in all.
The A stands for assistance, the B
for benefits and the G for compensa-
ton, each of these being features of
some phases of the program.
Assistance in old-age assistance,
which is administered by the Social
Security Board in Washington, and
which will be administered in North
Carolina by the North Carolina We'll
fare Department and director. Funds
will come one-half from the Federal
government, one-quarter from the
State and onequarter from counties.
Maximum benefits of $50 per month,
based on need, will be paid to eligi-
bles who must be 65 years and over,
who have lived in the State one year
and four years of the preceding nine
years. Benefits will first be available
July 1, 1887.
Benefits are old-age benefits, form
of old age insurance handled entirely
by the Federal government Funds
will be from money paid into the Fed
eral treasury, beginning January 1,
1887, by employers and employees.
Minimum benefits under this form
of insurance will be $40 per month,
with an $85 maximum, to be paid to
eiigibles IS years old and over who
have been employed in some five diff
ferent calendar years after December
81, 1895 and prior to attaining the
age of IS. These benefits will be first
available on January /, 1912

S|TDOWN STRIKES
NOT PROVEN CLUB
Lewis Can Hardly Brag
About Motors Victory;
End More of Draw
Nv CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Feb. 2".-The outcome
of the sit-down strike of General
Motors workers was not sufficiently
clean-cut altogether to convince stu
dents of the labor situation, pro and
ron as to the merits Of the sit-down
system.
At Washington headquarters OF
John L. Lewis committee on indus
trial organization it is maintained
that the strikers, gained practically
all that they were fighting for. The
C. L. o. folk naturally would say so,
however. It was their strike and they
cannot afford to admit that 1t was
less than reasonably successful.
A. F. of l.. President William
Green's verdict that the strikers lost
unqualifiedly is equally natural, COM
ing from that source. Considering
that Lewis and the c. l. 0. are in re-
bellion against Green and the A. F.
of L.. the latter body's chieftian
scarcely could be expected to recog-
nize a triumph of the inSurrectos, who
virtually threaten to put the A. +. or
L. out of business if their program
proves 100 per cent effective or nearly
so.
If General Motors thinks 1t was
victorious it is sensible enough not
to bring about it; if it thinks it was
Beaten it wouldn't care to confess
that either.
The Labor Department simply
claims credit for engineering mu-
tually satisfactory compromise.
A DRAW?
Most of the comparatively disinter-
ested authorities I have talked with
are of the opinion that the affair end
ed in a dog-fall as between the sit
down strikers and General Motors
It was not a contest, however, ex-
clusively between the c. I. O. and
General Motors.
A contest also was involved between
c. /. Os vertical unioniZation policy
and the A. F. of LIS horizontal po-
licey If C. I. o. had won that strike
by a straight-out decision it would
have had A. F. of L. on the ropes. But
a draw, if that is what this comprom-
Use was, it was not good enough. To
say the least, G. I. o. needed a liberal
margin of advantage over General
Motors-not so much for the sake
of victory over General Motors as
to show to all workingmen that it's
methods are better than A. F. of LIS
methods.

10 Separate Decisions In

ployment Benefits Const tute Three Main Sections;
Others Under These Three Chief Divisions

tered by the North Carolina Unem-
ployment Commission. Funds come
from sums paid by employers into
the State treasury beginning January
1, 1886. Disbursements will te by the
State Benefits are based on onehalf
normal wage with minimum of SIS and
maximum of SIS per week not to ex-
coed 16 weeks. All ages are eligible,
with an employment requirement Of
previous employment with an employ
er working eight or more persons
Benefits will first be available Jan
uary 1, 1888.
There are six o.aer divisions; CD
Aid to the blind; (2) maternal and
child health; 90 crippled children;
(4) child welfare service; go voca-
tional rehabilitation; and CO. pu5iic
health service.
Each of these half dozen divisions
is now in operation and North Caro-
lima is either presently participating
in benefits or there are now pending
in the legislature bills which, if pass
ed, will insure North Cardinals par
ticipation.
In view of the general lack of in
formation about the security program,
it is felt that the labor departments
detailed explanation is of Statewide
interest and it is hoped that the pub

will have wide circulation.

brightly OF all the small Things she

brightly OF all the small things she
could think of.
But when the game was over
and they had gone back to the
'big" he from the playhouse to
get some supper, she lost Chester
and wandered into the garden by
herself. She wouldn't have ad-
mitted that she was looking for
Joel but she was.
He hadn't been at the play
house. He wasn't in the dining
room or in the drawing room.
She strolled by herself wrapped
in loneliness and her silly little
Spanish shawl. She walked down
the path toward the pond back of
the playhouse and there in the
moonlight she saw the simmer of
Carols silver gown.
She saw the silhouette of two
people standing to the right of a
clump of trees. Saw that the Sec
ond figure was Joeps. Saw his
profile turned down toward Carols
uplifted one. The actress was
taller than Janet but still Joel had
to bend his head to meet her gaze.
They were talking-earnestly,
Janet could see from the position
of Joel's bent head. She couldn't
hear what they were saying. She
didn't want to. She hadn't come to
spy or to eavesdrop but she
couldn't turn back.
All of her inclinations told her
to turn on her heel and return the
way she had come but there was
something older and more prin-
tive in her than her breeding.
She lifted her head a little and
approached on firm footsteps.
Hello" she said, IT was looking
for you. It's after 2, darling"
If only she hadn't been SO SEN
sitive, she wouldn't have noted
how guiltily Joel stepped back
away from Carol. Perhaps even
then it was only that she had eX-
pected it, that Joel hadn't really
done it.
'I thought you would be look
ing" Carol said in the same friend
ly tone Janet had used. But both
Janet and Carol knew that it
wasn't friendly.
So Carol thought that Janet
would stoop to lighting for her
husband with another woman!
ct just wanted to tell you, Joel,
that I think I'll go on with Ver-
non."
She turned to Carol. I'm SIM
ply dead from my trip. I'm not
an intrepid flyer and the trip west
was a terrific strain on me. I was
scared to death all the way"
"Of f1ying?" Carol asked pleas
antly.
And what else did Carol Griest
think Mrs. Paynter might be
afraid Of?
"Of flying, certainly Janet an
swered calmly. 'I'll never do it
again even if Joel does send me
another of his S. o. SIS"
There, Janet won another honor!
Aren't men helpless 2" Carol
said and favored Joel with a

er early in the session there were few
who gave it more than an outside
chance OF enactment, but tide of sen
timent seems. to have run in it's favor
and impartial commentators, as well
as Senator Halstead, are now predict
ing its passage, in the Senate, at
least. These same observers are con-
ceding it q better than fair chance
in the House
The bills author said Saturday that
il will offer an amendment which will
keep the bond issue of $1O,OO0,OOO in
the first year Of the biennium and
$4,000 OC0 in the second.
1t is thought that the anti-diversion
fight in both houses had at least
slight influence on the fate of the
secondary road bond issue, largely be-
cause it centered attention upon the
condition of the nOn-arterial high
ways of the State. Speaker after
speaker termed their condition "ter-
ribe.
Question of Ability
This sort of talk put everybody in
a mood to do something about improv-
ing the secondary roads, and the only
concrete proposal so far offered has
been Senator Halsteads- MEASURE
In. the minds of a good many legis-
lators it is not question of whether
the bond issue is the proper method
Or constructing secondary roads, but
OF whether the State can afford anv
construction at al along those lines.
These solons concede that a bond
issue is the only practical method of
Setting any construction. They point
out that ordinary -ceipts of the
highway department are no more
IMAM sufficient to meet the present
must requirements, much less to
think of more road building.
TO begin with, we have to meet a
heavy debt service" said one repre-
sentative. Then We have to match
Eederal funds in order to get through
highway construction on certain
routes Then there is maintenance of
through highways, to say nothing of
any new construction in that category
Add to that the fact that we must
tnalntaln tie secondary roads already
bullt, and W are faced with the stern
Iact that there's no money left to
build any new secondary roads,"
Can and Ought To"
That being the case" he continu-
ed, there is no way on earth we can
bulid more secondary roads except
With proceeds of bond issue, and so
we are brought face to face with the
question whether we can afford anv
more construction or not"
Senator Halstead contends the State
can, and ought to. That's the question
which will he decided by the vote "a

glance that was not lost on Janet.
MY man is" Janet answered
calmly again, "but I'll leave him
in gooa hands with nothing to
worry about"
Janet knew that her remark was
no compliment.
"Wait a minute, Jan. I'm TAX.
ing you home, of course"
mo, I don't want you to, Joel.
I want you to stay please" Again
she turned to Carol "You know
ever since we've been in Hollywood
I've been trying to get Joel to go
to parties and +. well get
away from my apron strings"
Joel said gruff1y, Come along,
Janet. There'n be lots of other
parties and you'll have no trouble
getting rid OF me-"
Janet laughed lightly. That's
what you always say! Well, ,et's
go back and tell Vernon We'll drop
him. Good night, Miss Griest.
Don't forget that you're coming
to play tennis with me-"
I'm not the athletic type, Mrs.
Paynter," Carol answered coolly.
Aren't your" Janet returned.
''Then bring your knitting and
We'll just be a couple of home
girls. Good night"
There was a rising, pleasant in
Election at the end of her greeting.
1t keyed her conversation for the
long drive back.
It reeded keying to a light
touch. The drive back was not a
merry one. Vernon Chester, who
knew Janet as well as he knew
most people-and therein he knew
a great deal for he looked below
the surface of appearances-pulled
silently on his cigar. Joeps silence
was almost nlOrose.
Chester thought: Janet is be-
ing hurt and Joel is angry. The
fool! There'll be fireworks when I
get out. Well, I'm betting on that
little lady. She's got more brains
in that little noodle of hers than
the rest Of these babies put to-
gether.
He was wrong. There were no
fireworks. Fireworks would have
cleared the air.
No sooner Chester had alighted
than Joel said, "Well, Jan, you did
that up pretty. Why be nasty to
Carol? She hasn't done you any
harm"
ooh, come, dearest, I wasn't
nasty to her. I was very pleasant
to her. Also, I know she hasn't
done anything to me but I'm afraid
she might do something to you."
Joel laughed uproariously. For
minute Janet hoped that his
laughing would clear the some
thing that was between them. But
when he finished, he resumed his
gloomy study of the moonlight
view from the car windows.
Neither of them said anything
more on the way home and that
night, for the first time since her
marriage, Janet Paynter cried
herself to sleep.

CHAPTER II

.yANET PAINTER caught Carol
Griest off guard at the costume
ball when she said pleasantly-and
for all in hearing distance to catch
that she thought it was nice to
be back and that they'd all "have
lot of fun together.
Carols expression said plainly
that she hadn't the least idea how.
Also that she was considerably
surprised by Janet's attitude She
had moderated Janet if she
thought Joers wife was going to
be inundated by gossip linking
her name to Janet's famous hus-
band.
She had no answer and so Janet
continued:
"We've always made friends
with Joels fellow artists and I've
wanted to know you. I know
you're working terribly hard but 1
want you to come over and play
some tennis with me when there's
a lull."
She smiled pleasantly and made
to move on, quite satisfactorily
conscious of the unveiled surprise
in Carols big gray eyes.
Carol Griest was a good head
taller than Janet, and in her elab-
crate C~~.l-'--~ c. cct--ch and silver
cloth she was a far more pre-
possessing figure than Janet in her
mediocre costume. But the first
honors went to Janet. Janet knew
it and knew that before the night
was over, someone would have told
someone else and it would be all
over Hollywood.
She joined a group of her
friends and Immediately she said,
"Isn't Carol Griest simply ravish-
ing! I'm so pleased that Joel has
the opportunity to play opposite
her. Her pictures are always
success"
Some one said that she was I'M
duly modest. Wasn't Joel Paynter
the most sought-after hero Of the
day?
Under her breath, another wom-
an said that Janet was more than
modest, she was smart or else she
was a fool.
Janet didn't hear it.
She made a point of not staying
close to Joel's side but, when she
was dancing, she was conscious of
every woman he danced with and
hated herself for the quick glances
she gave in his direction trying to
follow him. She had never done
that before and thought that I'M
certainty was the beginning of
jealousy and jealousy was the
ugliest thing she knew of. It's
sign post led to street Of mis-
cry and she would have none of it.
She danced with him once and
told him she was glad she had
come to the party, that she was
having a wonderful time.
Then she left him and joined
Vernon Chester for game of bill
lizards. She made nauch that was
obvious of her gaiety and chatted
