fer the professional ski instructors who are used for the purpose of displaying the perfection of the Arl- berg technique in skiing.
 The comment of Dr. w. P. Blan- ton, after seeing the picture in Seat tie was: When it isn't side-split- ting comedy, it is so exciting with skiing action that enc oyerlooks the magnificent scenery" Ted Coomera, Juneaus new ski instructor whc was raised in Switzerland, saw the show in Boston, where it had been running for six weeks and says: The two comedians steal the show from the famous Leni Riefenstahl, the great German star, but the world skier, Flames Schneider, steals the show from the others as he shows his superiority over the greatest assemblage of professional skiiers ever photographed in action. ;
 The career of Flames Schneider apparently was ended forever when Hitler marched into Austria. Be- ing the idol of ski fans throughout the Reich, and possessing trace of Jewish blood, made him danger GUS enemy" He is reported to have been arrested, but it is generally conceded that he was murdered, for his whereabouts is still a mystery to the editor of every ski magazine in this country and abroad.

MEDICAL EXAMINER COMPLETES PROBE
Death of West Main Street Chef Attributed to
 Natural Cases

No further investigation will be made of the circumstances sur- rounding the death of Arthur Hass- cotis, 53, chef employed at Tom my's grill, 494 West Main street, since authorities are satisfied that death was due to natural causes. Hasscotis was found dead in the kitchen of the establishment yes- terday morning.
 Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum said that death resulted from a heart ailment. Hasscotis suffered a cut on the back of his head when he struck table as he fell to the floor. Dr. Kirschbaum reported the case to Coroner John T. Monzani, and routine investigation was made by Lieuts. Edward McElligott and John Calvin of the detective bureau.
 HaSscotiS was found by his em- ployer, James Marine, who took him to the Waterbury hospital. He was pronounced dead on arrival.

Here are machines that punch, tabulate, assort, post, check, and re- distribute cards with a more-than- human accuracy ana speed. Here 300 million separate cards and record sheets pass each year through the tireless machines.
 Here are the micro filming depart ments photographing records on 16- millimeter films which will soon compress the contents of 600 filing cabinets into 10-a duplicate basic record which will be filed in the Archives Building in Washington just in case of unforeseen deStruc- tion of the Baltimore building.
 Here is humming beehive work ing day and night shifts to get caught up with tidal wave of data which is nearing its crest. Unless the law is changed to admit groups now not included in Social Security, the top is expected to be reached soon at about 40,000,000.
 By next June the record is ex- pected to be about -to-date. That is, the bureau will be able to give any client at a glance his balance and status at the end of the pre- vious quarter. That is as close to current as the file is apt to get, as employers have a months leeWay in filing reports, and the job of posting up 40,000,000 separate records is col oSsal.
 Though regular old-age annuities will not be paid until 1942, some 53,- 900 payoffs of lump-sum settlements have already been made to those reaching 65 before the annuity date. The average payment has been $27, ranging from a few cents to $358 top.
 Many felt the sum due them was too small to bother to collect it. The bureau is holding it for them, lust as any private insurance company would do.

DIR. BINDER SPEAKS
 ON JEWISH MUSIC
Waterbury ZiOnists Host at Gathering in Beth=El
 Auditorium

A renaissance in the field of Jewish music AS now underway in Palestine, declared Dr. A. w. Bin der, of New York, speaking last night at the Beth Fl auditorium under the auspices or cne Water bury Zionist district. The future of Jewish music rests on the re- suit of the precent movement, he said.
 New rhythms, new harmonic back grounds and new meodic lines are being introduced into Jewish folk songs, said Dr. Binder, and in Palestine music is flourishing to a great extent. New folk songs, he said, will form the pas;s of a new Jewish musical art.
 Dr. Binder illustrated his points by playing and singing new Jew ish melodies and the traditional airs. Music, he said, has always been an important part in the life of the Jew and will continue to be.
 The speaker was introduced by Rabbi William P. Greenfield.
