today quashed two of three sections
of subpoena demanding that the
American Medical association pro-
duce all correspondence and rec
ords of its relations with medical
cooperatives and low income health
groups since 1916.
1t marked a limited victory for
the ANA in connection with justice
department charges that it has
violated antitrust laws in its rela-

Proctor held that the justice de-

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

A lifelong. confidential wage
record will be kept for every work
er covered by the Social Security
Act. The record is kept on a sep
arate ledger sheet for each indi-
vfdual. 1t will insure the worker
that he viii receive the amount
dle HIM in benefits when he be-
comes eligible. Each individual
ledger account sheet is headed
with the name and social security
number CT a certain insured
worker. This information is then
transferred to the ledger sheet
from the employees social secur-
ity account card.
Mr. Charles E. Bailey, manager
OF the Hagerstown Office of the
Social Security Board. calls atten-
ton to the fact that there is no
c1er rye for any service given by
any office of the Social Security
Board. Men or women wishing to
secure a social security account
card; to secure a duplicate of an
account card which has been lost;
to file claim for lump-sum pay
ment of old-age insurance; to Sc
cure information about social Sc
cIrity provisions will receive
prompt and courteous attention
from members of the staff. 1t was
emphasized that the Hagerstown
Office was opened for the express
purpose of serving employees, en-
p overs. and the general public in
this area. No fee of any kind is
required for any service rendered
in an office of the Social Security
Board.
More than eight million dollars
has been certified for payment to
claimants who are entitled to
lump-sum payment of old-age in
surance. More than 100000 per-
sons in the United States have
received such benefits. Single
cash payments are the only old
age insurance benefits now being
paid. Monthly retirement bene-
fits to wage earners will not be-
gin until 1912. Those receiving
lump-sum payment of old-age in
surance benefits belong to one of
TWO classes. They are men or
women who have held jobs in in
dustrial plants or commercial
firms at some time since the law
went into effect and who have
reached the age of IS since Janu-
airy l. 1887; or they are relatives
of workers who had been employ
ed by industrial plants or CONNER
cial firms at some time since 1886 |
and who died before receiving old
age insurance benefits.
Several thousand new account |
cards arrive daily at the office of
the Social Security Board in Bal
timore, where wage records are
kept for participants in the old
age insurance system Although
the great mass of applications
reached its peak and gradually
diminished in 1887, there are still
many people applying for social
security account cards. Boys and
girls just out of school; jobless
men and women who now have
promise of work; farm hands who
are securing factory jobs; and
various others who have their
first chance to come into the old
age insurance system are apply
ing daily for social security ac-

Watch Your Criticism

A good many people are apt to Jump to inc conclusion that the reason State Highway Commissioner John A. Mac donald is going ahead with plans for the Merritt Parkway on the basis of ones orig mated within his own department prlor to discussion of road costs, etc., is spite ar to show that he can still run his bureau as he has been doing so for many years The papers have made much the last lew days of the fact that number ot bridges are to be built along lines that have met with much criticism from the Pup1lc Works Department of Commissioner Robert Hurley.
 We doubt very much if Commissioner Macdonald would advocate such policy as this. What with grand jury still prying into costs of rights of way in Fair field County he hardly would take the recent court decision as to his sole ana uncontested control of the state highways as a signal for any action tending to cen- ter too much attention on him. No, the present decision to build the particular type of bridges that met with Hurley crit cisrn is due, we feel sure, to an official yer dict from his engineers and consultants.
 That their decision is right IS another thing. It may be that, as in other cases, they can be proved wrong. And if so, then the expense of building this super memorial road down in Fairfield County will again multiply, for therell be action to replace the offending structures with the kind that are of latest design and calculated to provide the least resistance in the even flow of traffic north and south The bridges in question are known as "single-span" type. Commissioner Hurley's recent survey of the highway de- partment noted them and termed them out of style.
 This would definitely determine once and for all whether or not the Highway Department is slow in picking up new trends in road building, as has been claimed It will also prove whether or not there might not be room in state government for any agency like Commis- sioner Hurley's which demands that state officials be actually on their toes and alive to what is going on around them, so that they may keep their own depart ments in step with the times.

Right on the Chin

What was planned as one of those glorious glad-hand parties turned out to be a boomerang last Saturday night when republicans from near and far gathered at the Waldorl-Astoria in New York City to hear their party eXtolled and to find the combination to White House and various state house doors. h. stead the gentlemen who are accustomed to sit back in their chairs and hear the opposition raked over the coals found themselves bolt upright listening to a critical analysis of themselves by Cover nor George D. Aiken of Vermont.
 He spared no one in his caustic up- braiding of party members who spend all their time casting barbs at President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the democratic party. He maintained that the SureSt way to lose coming elections was for re- publicans to paint the President a deep black hue. He claimed that despite some decrease in the affection in whcih the President is held throughout the entire nation he is still the popular hero, the idol, the one-and-only. Attacking him won't help the party elect it's candidates nor eSpouSe it's causes.
 There's lot to be said for this canny appraisal of party faults. It remained, too, for the representative of a rock-ribbed Republican stronghold to point out the flaw in national party tactics However, we don't imagine that Governor Aiken will get very far with his comments when they rub the grain of the party chieftains the wrong way. He'll probably find that his caustic comments fell on deaf ears. The commentators in the news, though, will seize on such fertile ground as this. Don't be surprised if you find Governor Aiken boomed for almost anything in the next two years.

Virile Sports

The vogue for mountain sports is something new in the world. In olden times people regarded mountains with dread and horror. You find that attitude running through ancient literature. Poetic souls might enjoy looking at them from a distance, as the Greeks did at Mount Olympus, above which they placed the home of the gods. But the hills were not for them.
 The Alps especially were full of terror, with their dark forests and bitter cold and deep snow and avalanches. The Latin posts seemed to see no beauty or poetry in them. Using them as playgrounds would have been unthinkable. Appar- ently the Indians in America regarded our own big mountains with similar hor- TOT and often feared to climb them, lest they incur the diSpleasure of the gods.
 But what change! Misunderstanding for generations has been sport for the white race, at least, growing steadily more popular. And now the civilized world, especially the younger part of it, goes mad with skiing and tobogganing. The cold and danger are as nothing. Wherever there are steep slopes and deep snow, crowds throng on foot, by motor car and railroad train, even by airplane.
 Is the human race, then, harder than it used to be, or the climate milder? It is hard to say. Transportation is much easier, and clothing perhaps is warmer or more suitable, and equipment in gen. eral is better Certainly civilization hasn't made us mollycoddles. The most remarkable thing about it all is the vigor and hardihood shown by women in such "virile" sports.

Interest in the proposed transcontinen- tai toll highways, to be built and, possi- bly,, maintained by the federal govern ment is increasing. Each passing day adds new angle to plans and concep- tions By the time the various authori- ties get around to building the roads themselves they'll find such a gigantic task on their hands that they'll be at the job for years unless tremendous army of workers is engaged. Maybe that's the answer - an industrial army moving at certain specified tasks and accomplish ing them in specified hours, days, weeks, etc. These toll roads take on new vistas every time they are mentioned. It is satisfying to know, though, that New England is apt to be the end or beginning of at least one of the proposed routes and perhaps more than if the system ever gets fully developed Somehow or other the more you discuss the idea, the less impossible and more practical it becomes. And it certainly fits into plans Tor war, diStaSteful as that sounds.

There is still a sublued hum of conver- sation throughout the state over the fact that Meriden's school board did not re- appoint Professor Nicholas Moseley to his post of school superintendent last week. While it had been rumored beforehand that efforts were afoot to remove Super intendent Moseley, still it was believed that in the end he would continue his duties His contract, however, was not renewed. He only spent six years in the office and during that time made sin cere effort to establish certain ideas on progressive education to which he has though, that his efforts along this line have not met with complete success be- cause he never attempted to force them or any teacher.

Pro6t-Sk airing

An interesting development, in the present business log-jam, is the resolu- tion offered in the United States Senate by Senator Vandenberg of Michigan. He asks Congress to determine whether the government can save the profits sys- tenn" by making tax awards or rebates to business firms which share their earnings with their employees. There would be an inquiry, by branch of the Senate finance committee, into all profit-sharing systems now operating in American industry, for the information of the government, the public and all employers interested in establishing such plan.
 There are more of these profit-sharing arrangements today than the public

three transcontinental "super-high- ways" and at least six running Il -th and south. By charge of moderate tolls, he believes, the in- terest on the bonds could be met and the principal repaid so that eventually the government would have the highways at no expense to itself.
 The cost of such national high way system is reckoned at about eight billion dollars. If 10 per cent of the gasoline consumed in auto- mobiles last year was consumed on the projected highways, Senator Bulkley estimates that moderate scale of tolls would yield about $250, 100000. Figuring interest and amortization charges at 2 per cent, that would leave less than $100,- 100000 a year for maintenance, policing and administration. Even if Senator Bulkley,s estimate that the new system would carry 10 per cent of the countryis traffic is not too generous, his allowance for in- terest and amortization seems alarm ingly low. Current practice for states and municipalities is to allow a retirement of the delft within a reasonable period. Such 8 charge, however, would cost nearly twice what the system would yield on Senator Bulkley's estimate. Clearly, there is need for a careful inspec- ton of the figures before any such project is undertaken.
 Historically, the principle of charging tolls to finance the build- ing of roads and bridges is well es- tablished. Indeed, the gasoline tax, when it is levied as in Connecticut to finance highway construction and maintenance, is in effect toll similar to that proposed by Sena- tor Bulkley. There can be small ob- jection if those who use the pro- jected highway system are asked to Cefray its cost within a reasonable time. The danger is that loose plan ming and optimistic f1gure-lugging may place a considerable part of the cost on the already debt burdened government.
