|O1d Age Benefit
Systems Pointed
To AS Different
Workers and Employers
are Warned to Distin-
guish Between Them.

Workers and employers in Mime
sofa today were asked to keep clear
ly in mind the distinction between
unemployment compensation benefits,
old age assistance and old age insur-
ance. Fred M. Wilcox, regional di-
rector of the Social Security Board,
said that as January l approaches and
the board prepares to begin making
payments from its old age and sur
vivors insurance fund, it is becom-
ing increasingly evident that there is
confusion in the public minds regard
ing these two programs.
MANY claimants for unemploy-
their right to jobless benefits is based
on deductions that have been made
from their wages" said Mr.. Wilcox.
"This, if course, is mistaken as
sumption since the worker makes no
contribution for unemployment COM
pensation. Deductions that have
been made from his wages are for
the old age and survivors insurance
system" Mr. Wilcox called atten-
ton to the following differences in
the two programs:
Unemployment compensation is adj
ministered by the state, and old age
and survivors insurance by the Fed
eral government Unemployment
compensation benefits are paid to
persons who have lost their employ
ment through no fault of their own
and the amount is determined by
their previous earnings; old age in
surance is paid after workers reach
the age of IS and the amount is de-
termined by percent of their aver
age monthly wages, upon which con-
tributions have been made jointly
by the worker and employer.
Different Systems.
Neither is there any relationship
between old age insurance and old
age assistance" said Mr.. Wilcox.
Both assistance and insurance are
paid to persons who have reached
IS years of age; the assistance pro-
gram operates on a need basis and
funds are derived from state and
county resources, which is supple
mented by the Federal government.
One-third of the old age assistance
funds come from the state and one
sixth from the county. When the
monthly benefit part of the 'insur-
ance' program becames operative on
January l, 1940 it will use funds
that have been contributed, as stated,
jointly by the worker and the en-
ployer. Apart from the manner in
which the programs are financed, the
difference between the assistance
and the insurance plans for assist
ing elderly people is that the former
is based on need and the latter, as a
right, is based largely on his previous
earning record.
"Some also seem to believe that
in order to get old age insurance
benefits, the applicant must put lien
on his home. This is not the case
old age insurance is available to all
wage earners who qualify under the
Social Security Act regardless of how
much or how little wealth he has"

Until about hundred years ago
ships were moved by sails, and it
often took several weeks to cross the
Atlantic. Now steamships are in use
which travel at the rate of 20 to Is
miles an hour, and 60 from New
York to Liverpool or Rotterdam in
from five to seven days.

Bandits Terrorize
13-Year.0Id Youth,
Loot Gas Station
Mexican Pair Flourish
Knife, Gun, Escape
With S1O.15

CALEXICO, Nov. 10.-Of-
ficers on both sides of the
international border search
ed Friday for two MeXicans
who used a gun and knife to
terrorize a 13-year-old service sta
ton attendant while they rifled the
cash register early Thursday night
Frank Pedroza, 10. was held pris-
oner while the bandits took $10.15
from the station across from the De
ANA hotel, he told CaleXico police.
The MeXicans fled eastward on
foot after the stickup, the boy said.
Pedroza was left in charge of the
station while the manager, Ralph
Pesqueira. took Mrs. PeSqueira home.
The terrorized boy was able to
furnish police with good deScrlp-
ton of the bandits, who were not
masked.
Chief of Police Guy Echols de-
clared the stick-up procedure and
the descriptions of the bandits tai
lied with those of a service station
robbery at Third and lockwood on
Oct. %.
The bandit who flouriShed a pis-
tol was described as tall while the
one with the knife was short. Both
men wore work clothes and had a
two or three days growth of beard
on their faces.

Boys Effort to
See World Stynied

A 17-year-old youths plan to
"see the world and live off the
country while travelling" was halted
by officers in Imperial Valley Fri
day while they investigated his
right to possess a rifle. a pistol,
and dozen boxes of ammunition
immigration officers stopped Viril
Hoech, IT, when he tried to cross
the border into Mexico without a
passport.
II want to see the world" the
youth said, II was headed for Pana-
ma when they stopped me. I was
going to live off the country. That's
why I bought all that ammunition.
I was going to hunt and fish as I
travelled. They stopped me now but
I'll get there some way"
He said he was AWOL from CCC

000,000 year racket by shaKlng
down liquor dealers.
Bonelli, who once campaigned for
Los Angeles mayor on the slogan
of 1.-The cleanest name in politics, y
was named in an indictment charg-
ing 68 counts of conspiracy and
soliciting bribes. He was accused
of heading a ring which shook down
thousands of southern California
cafes and bars for weekly payments
of $35 to $40 on threat of having
their license revoked.
Indicted with Bonelli were six
other men and three John Does
whose names presumably will be
filled in later. The other six were:
Gilbert Forte, inspector for the
state board of equalization who is
accused of taking money from bar
rooms on Main street in Los An
geles which kept "B-girls" in de-
fiance of rules;
Edward Levine, the brains of
the ring who is supposed to have
schemed the $10,000,O00 empire;
Maier Joskowitz, who confessed
that he made the rounds of the
bars and cafes as collector for the
ring;
Ray Huntsman, husky whole
sale liquor dealer who was accused
of being a pressure man for the
syndicate;
Burton Walters, secretary of the
Associated Beverage Council, an
organization through which Bonelli
allegedly hoped to control all whole
sale liquor sales to the $4,000 deal
ers in this country and thus build
up great profits
