Old-Age Insurance
Details Given Here

First-hand Information on the
Governm ent's Social Security pro-
gram was brought to the citizens of
Coolidge today by Harold d. Smith,
manager of the Social Security
Boards Tucson Field office.
Mr.. Smith met with employers
who have Social Security prob ems
and with persons who have clG inns
under the Old-Age Insurance pro
visions of the Act. He explained
that workers in business and in
dustry now reaching age 65 are en-
titled to submit claims for lump
sum cash benefits.
Filing of the claim is much
simpler than many had believed.
Claimants must fill out a simple
form known as 'wage-earner's ap-
plication," Mr.. Smith said. "To this
is added statement of employer,
giving the amount of wages paid
and an identification certificate
signed by two persons who know
the worker. No expense or fee is
involved in filling out the papers.
Even notarization is not required
on claims of less than 800.
Where workers, regardless of
age, die in included employment
that is, workers in business and
industry-the widow, near relative
or executor Of the decedent's estate
is entitled to file claim for 31a
pr cent of the total wages paid
since December 81, 1886, up to
the date of death.

rial employments throughout the

IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY
BY BOB MERKL

One hundred words that may go
down through the years as part
of our Constitution is the Ludlow
Resolution.
Except in the event of an in
vasion IL authority of Con
gress to declar, war shall not be-
come effective until confirmed BY
majority of a. votes cast thereon
in a Nationwide referendum.
Much more than an ordinary bill,
this resolution is a proposed amend
ment to the Constitution. 1t is also
one of those things that cause Con-
gressmen to wonder if it is really
worth what it costs, this coming
to Washington From a purely
personal viewpoint, he wonders
how the relief from responsibility
viii balance against the loss Of
power
There can be no doubt that a
conscientious representative of tie
~-001a mu-t do some heavv
before he votes to tAlou Ao
country into what the next war
may be. But Of the possibility that
the people, once they have tasted
the luxury of referendum, would
develop a cravin- for similar action
on other matters of state
Foes of the resolution argue that
it would tie the hands of the State
Department in he event OF an ~
ternational crisis. They believe the
time element would prove to be too
important. roponents, however,
say that the referendum could be
completed in two days. Naturally
he work would be rushed through
in the feverish haste caused by
threatening war, but just how long
it would take is not definitely
known.
There has been some spirited
argument on the floor of the House.
One Representative suggested that
our Navy might be entirely sunk
Il foreign waters before we could
act" Another answered:
Il would like to amend the Lud-
low resolution to include the pro-
posal of the American Legion that

are building up credits with the
Government which will provide
monthly benefit payments when
they reach age 65 after 1942. Until
1912 only lump-sum payments are
being made"
The public was cautioned against
confusing the Federal Old-Age In
surance program with the Old-Age
Assistance provisions of the Act.
"Old-Age assistance means money
payments to people who are old
and needy" Mr.. Smith explained.
"Such payments are made in
amounts fixed by the States. Old
Age insurance is the retirement in
come payable to wage-earners who
are 65 years old and no longer at
work. This plan went into effect
January /, 1887, and does not cover
people who were 65 before that
date. Old-Age insurance is based
on wages, and will be paid to quail
fled wage earners regardless OF
need, or other income they may
have.
