PERTINENT QUESTIONS ON
 SECURITY ACT EXPLAINED

How does that part of the Social Security Act dealing with Federal oId-age benefits differ from the pub lie assistance" provisions of that law? What are the benefits? Who are entitled to them? Those are some of the questions constantly be ing asked with reference to the broad program of social legislation embraced in the Security Act.
 The Alaska office of the Social Se- curity Board. located at Room 316, Federal Building, Juneau, has pre- pared several questions and answers pertaining to old-age benefits which take up some of the points about which there has been most confu- sion:
 QUESTION:: How do Federal old age benefits differ from public as sistance to the needy aged?
 ANSWER: The old-age benefits provided by the Social Security Act differ from the old-age assistance provisions in two ways: first, they are to be paid by the Federal Gov ernment directly to the individuals; and, second, payment will not be de pendent on the establishment of need. The amount paid to each per son will depend on his work and wage record before reaching the age of 65. The Social Security Act es- tabiishes in the Federal Treasury an Old-Age Reserve Account, and au- thorizes appropriations to 1t, out Of which will be paid, beginning Jan uary l, 19f2, monthly income to qualified persons 65 years of age and over who have earned wages in com mercial and industrial employment The benefits ;..e payable when the worker reriTes from employment in commercial CT industial lines
 QUESTION: Does that mean that a man rho operates sma.' store or rdns his farm or is other wise self-employed will not receive benefits?
 ANSWER: Not necessarily. True, the provisions are mainly designed for the protection of persons work ing for others. If person is self employed, if he is engaged in oper- ating his ow nfarm or. his own store. or if he is a professional person, his income from such employment will not count toward Federal 0ld-Age benefits. Such a person will, howev- CT, be entitled to old-age benefits if he has earned total of S2,o00 or more through some commercial or industrial employment in at least five different calendar years after December 31, 1886, and before his 65th birthday. Wages earned 1T ' farm labor, domestic service IF 9 private home, Government employ ment, and employment by religious educational and philanthropic organ izations are not counted in comput. 1 ing benefits, but this does not near that persons who are usually engag, ed in farm labor, or shopkeeping ol Government service will be ineligi ble for benefits when they become 65 Most Americans change occupation: frequently. Many domestic servants and farm laborers have periods ot factory or commercial work. Income

BATTLE FOR
NEW BRIDGE
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Continuing the fight for a new
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge, the
Southeast Citizens Association last
night voted to Join the Southeast
Business Mems Association in an
appeal to the Senate and House
District Committees for restoration
of the full appropriation recon-
mended by the District CommiS-
SionerS.
The move followed action of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tions in refusing funds for a new
bridge, but recommending $4,000
instead for repairs.
Cd Louis r. Prick, chairman Of the
committee on law and legislation,
reviewed the fight by both organi-
sations 70 replace the bridge, built
In 1890. He pointed out that $685.
900 already had been spent for a
preliminary survey, including the
drawing OF plans, and declared
that TO expend $4,000 for repairs
which could be only of a tempo
rary nature would be a waste of
money.
Transit Probe Asked
In another resolution, the as
sociation asked Congress to in
vestigate action of the Public
Utilities Commission in permit
ting the Capital Transit Company
TO increase fares by elimination
Of the 81 weekly pass, and the
purchase Of one-man street cars.
The committee on legislation
was directed to draft a bill to
Congress that would prohibit
children the use of firearms, and
eliminate the sale Of air rifles.
The committee was directed to
study pending legislation to regu-
late barber shops and to create a
board of BARRIERS.
It was voted to invite the 30
members Of the Southeast Council
Of Citizens Associations to be-
come honorary members.
In the absence of w. A. Maio,
president, Vernis Absher, vice
president, was in charge.

To balance the national budget at
the cost of unbalancing that of a MIL

doubtful economy
A prominent Brazilian Fascist says
that the common people are too stupid

to vote for Fascism, except under
compulsion.
German parents who fail to teach
their children that the Nazi regime
is God and that Hitler is it's prophet
are having their children taken away
from them by the Nazi courts. How
long can a country remain civilized
under a rule like that?
The Emancipation Proclamation
was supposed to go into effect Jan

crop from frost.
