Security Ready
For ID .000,0 900 =.

WASHINGTON, The Social
Security Board is ready-eVen
eager-to cover 55,0O0,000 persons
under its super-colossal system of
old-age insurance.
1t only has 100000 such Gus
toners now. But the Advisory
Council on Social Security, repre-
senting employers, employees and
public, is studying methods of eX-
tending the program to agricul-
tural. domestic and employed
workers who number about 10000,
900.
All signs indicate that this COM
mittee-which Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan callsli rthe perfect
council'-will recommend in Dec
ember that Congress vote TO in
clude those groups of employees.
Recently it recommended inclusion
of more than 100000 workers in
non-profit establishments.
To meet the great difficulty OF
administering old-age insurance
for farm workers and domestic
employees, a system has been sue
gested under which employers
will buy stamps and affiX them TO
cards held by employees, the stamps
to be bought from the Treasury
and paid for by equal employer
and worker contributions.
Chairman Arthur j. Altmeyer OF
the Ssh is going to England to
study the social security system
there and will give special atten-
ton to the stamp system as the
British have adopted it for similar
types of labor.
Usually no one will believe it,
but sometimes in Washington oc-
currences whcih seem innocent and
meaningless are just as innocent
and meaningless as they seem.
The plan for commission to
study British labor laws was her
aided in Washington morning
newspaper as prelude to White
House request for revision OF the
Wagner labor act Chairman John
L. Lewis of the CLIO, who had
been told the inquiry was rou-
tine Department of Labor matter
read the story and reared that
Clio. wouldn't participate.
Mr.. Roosevelt then testify said
he was sending the commission to
provide enlightenment for editors
and columnists, limiting that its
report would be used as an argu-
ment against Wagner act revision
rather than in favor.
Actually, careful investigation
has disclosed the trip was plan
ned as a mere junket of no signl-
ficance. The White House has all
the information it wants on Brit
ish labor laws right now.
Similarly, the deepest, most
sacred secret in the Department OF
Labor was, until recently. the fact
that Secretary Perkins was going
to Europe.

asters and so on TO tell about.


All of which brings us to the
stunt a certain metropolitan edi-
tor in the middle west tried the
other day.
He had the usual grist of cataS-
trophies to choose from when he
made up his front page; Span
ish bombing, a Sino-Japanese bat
tie, a new blood-and- thunder
speech by Hitler, another frog
act by Mussolini, factory strike
down cast, and the like. And he
finally turned his back on all of
these things and built his front
page around the fact that the
woman who had headed the local
library, and had done a grand,
peaceful, constructive job of it for
something like a quarter Of
century, was resigning her posi-
ton.
Well, maybe the editor was right.
Maybe his readers unconsciously
blessed him when their morning
paper told them that in spite of
all the hell that has broken loose
the unspectacular business Of
making, more civilized world was
still going on. Maybe story does
mt have TO have a corpse in it to
be news, after all
II you were an editor, how
would you look at it?

They couldn't make up their minds

After three sleepless nights and
482 quarrels with the wife over
the merits of this mountain and
the beauties of that beach Joe had
TO relieve his feelings SO he went
down town and socked the travel
agent with two tons of vacation
folders.
The Judge gave Joe six months
but a broad smile played over the
features of the condemned man as
he heard the sentence. At last, his
vacation problem was solved and

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
= What is Happening, and What Matters

Among the people who get gray
hairs during the depression is the
newspaper editor.
Not only does the editor have
all the ordinary depression worries
about payrolls, balance sheets and
SO no; he also has the response
bility of laying daily before his
readers a mental bill of fare cal
culated to tempt their appetites.
Consider what the editor has
had to choose from lately.
He has had an unusually bloody
and cruel war in China, with day
to-day lists of cities bombed, non-
combatants blown to bits, towns
sacked, armies routed and spies
executed. he has had an equally
distressing war in Spain, with
much the same sort of fodder
coming out of that hopper. He has
had rumors of war from all over
Europe, with troops mobilizing on
peaceful borders, cabinets tottering,
Russians being executed, arma-
ments being piled up and a gen.
eral miasma of fear and suspicion
spreading across every land.
At home he has had a yindictive
and occasionally unprincipled po-
litical row to report He has had a
stupendous unemployment prob
lem to tell about, an equally stu
pendous problem in government IL

The DANGER IN A
DECLINING BIRTH RATE

Every now and then we hear some
social worker or other warn that Ameri
can civilization is in danger if the birth
rate continues to decline. Such warn
ing came this week from DR.. Paul Pop
enoe, director of the family relations
institute at Los Angeles-but for once
it was sensible warning
1t was not at the declining birth rate
alone that DR.. Popenoe leveled his criti-
cism-but at the declining rate among
the higher brackets of intelligent per-
sons. Therein is the real danger. The
danger lies in the decline of average
intelligence, not in the decline of num-
bers.
