to report his account number to his
employer.
"All wages ar employee receives
during his entire life from employ
ment covered under the Federal old
age insurance provision of the Social
Security Act" Mr.. Thomas said,
will be counted as credit toward
his old-age insurance. Wages for
temporary or part-time employment,
no matter how small, will increase
by that much the workers credits
toward old-age benefits. It is there
fore important to the employee that
his wages reported by his employer
be identified by an account number
so that they will be correctly re-
corded in his old-age insurance
account"
Approximately 100000 students
are now being graduated from high
schools and private preparatory
schools in the United States, accord
ing to figures received by Thomas
from the Office Of Education. Two
thirds of these will begin their bust
ness careers by taking a job during
the vacation months, it is estimated.
In addition 10000 students will be
graduated from colleges and uni
versities. Other persons who will
need account number cards r stu
dents and teachers who will work
only during vacation, Manager
Thomas pointed out.

(Continued from Page D the ceiling, and in private homes where conditions are hardly better.
 In one partly finished mill I saw the Squalor in which 800 people, largely of the middle class who had been shop keepers or professional men in Germany, were existing. Two hundred people had their beds" ragged, dirty straw sacks, and their few clothes laid out on each of the four bare, dusty floors. They had no sheets, no pillows, few had blankets. They slept in their clothes.
 When saw them, these refugees were happily excited over a tiny stove which had just been installed on each floor in pitiful attempt to heat building which could hardly have been warmed by blast furnace.
 Misery, Despair
 It was the same story at each of the barracks-misery, dirt, despair at the prospect of having to spend the winter here.
 Children under IA have been grouped in the gymnasium build ing of an old sports stadium, where they enjoy the luxury of beds, sheets and pillows.
 The Jewish central committee at Warsaw has arranged for supplies of food, the simplest necessities, and for clothes, mostly the ragged donations of Jews in Poland who are themselves poor.
 The hospital has established clin- ics at several places, with Polish doctors and nurses serving volun- tarily.
 Polish, Yiddish Songs
 At night those refugees who have little money gather in the poorly lit tap room of one of the little hotels and sing Polish and Yiddish songs. Mostly they are cheerful then. But on Monday night, a young woman with a throaty senti- mental voice sang folk songs which peeled the veneer of gaiety off and left some of her listeners in tears. Polish police authorities are kind. A district policeman, for instance, goes into the ,children's dormitory every morning at seven to wake the children with cheery "dzien dobry" morning.
 But the hopes which rose after the first week or two, as the ref ugees grasped at every new rumor that they would be given visas or be allowed at least to go into Po- land have now faded into an aim- less dragging on from day to day.
