Legislative Notes

Hartford, Jan. 25--Those long faces around the Capitol yester- day belonged to members of the assembly who were in line for appointments as commissioners or judges, who had learned of the Republican state central commit tees resolution against assembly members getting state or county jobs. But the boys spirits began to revive when they learned that considerable undercover opposi- ton to the plan was being built up.
 Senator J. Mortimer Bell, veter- an Salisbury Republican. Is the chairman of the Litchfield county group in the senate and house. He was elected yesterday at the bien- nial county meeting.
 Considerable pressure is being exerted to have Vernon Hall of Waterbury named as one of the three county commissioners. Re- ports have 1t that Commissioner Jacob Walter of Cheshire may not be reappointed In addition the place vacated by resignation of Commissioner Matthew A. Daly of New Haven is still vacant.
 New Haven county legislators at their meeting yesterday, received an invitation from County Com missioner Jacob Walter of Che shire to make tour of the county home and county jail. The visit will be made Saturday or Monday.
 The four Waterbury legislators, all Democrats, backed the unsuc- cessful candidacy of Senator Dan- iel Mccarthy of Ansonia for the chairmanship of the county dele- gation. The post went to Rep. Waldo Blakeslee, of North Haven, Republican.
 The drastic terms of the pro- posed bill to have 8 commission govern Waterbury until next Jan- uary had even veteran legislators gasping. Under the plaii, the city would operate without . charter until the officials elected in Oc- tober take office. During the sus- pension of the charter, the three- man commission would have com plete control of the city govern ment.

900 Being Notified
Of Eligibility for
Security Payments
Four Groups to Gain
Most by Action,
Corson Says

Approximately 900 potential Dis
trict beneflciaries for monthly old
age and survivors insurance benefits
are being notified of their rights,
the Social Security Board an
nounced.
Three groups are being informed
Of their eligibility, those who have
received lump-sum payments under
the original Social Security Act,
account holders who have reached
the age of 65 during the last three
years, and those who will become IS
years old next year and become
eligible for benefits Immediately on
their retirement.
However, there are four groups of
account holders with most to gain
through this action, John Corson,
director of the Bureau of Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance, said yes
terday. He lists them as:
Those who have received lump
sum benefits under the old law, and
who expect no further benefits.
Those who, because of repeated
change of residence, recent unem-
ployment or carelessness, have lost
touch with their accounts and
might otherwise have lost several
months benefits through overlook
Ing their rights.
Those who wish to remain en-
ployed after IS, but who will then
undertake part-time or lower-paid
employment. Though these workers
may not be Immediately eligible
for payments they may. by prompt
application, peg their future month
ly benefits to the higher average
monthly wage they had before IS.
Those who have sometimes failed
to report their social security &C
count numbers to their employers.
These will have ample opportunity
to establish their right to added
wage credits and higher benefits, -
he said.
In all, 528,575 account holders
who may be eligible for retirement
benefits next year are being notified
throughout the country. Distribu-
ton of the notices began early this
month and is expected to be COM
pleted by December %. Some claims
already have been received, it was
said but the bulk Of the returns
is not expected until after the first
Of the year.
