100000 VIII Divide
$1oo,ooo,oo0 Social
Security Outlay
Fist 1940 Checks
To Be Paid Out
February !
Hy the Associated Press.

~ tne AbbOClAtco FIeeS.
The Social Security Board esti-
mated last night that 100000 men,
women and children would share
in the more than 500, ,000, 900 to be
distributed next year under the re-
vised social security law.
The first checks, Chairman Arthur
j. Altmeyer said, will go out Feb
ruary l, representing payments for
January to retired elderly workers
and their families.
In a radio interview, Mr.. Altmeyer
said that the new social insurance
program should make possible
monthly benefits to a family rang
ing up to $50 or $50. That, COM
bined with savings and other small
income. should be sufficient to hold
a family together, allow it to lead a
normal, self-reliant life" and keep
of the relief rolls. he added.
Levy Stays at 1 Per Cent.
To back up its old age pension
checks, the Government has 81, AGO.
100000, collected by levies on pay
rolls. The original law would have
boosted the rate of these taxes from
l per cent to 112 per cent beginning
January l, but, at its last regular
session, Congress revised the law to
freeze" the rate at the l per cent
level until 1943.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
Republican leader, said in a state
ment last night that, while both
major parties supported the broad
social security program, the amend
ments to the financing provisions
should be credited to the effort and
agitation by the Republican minor
ity" OF Congress.
Were it not for these amend
ments some 100000 workers and
their employers each would have
been subjected to a so per cent in
crease in old-age pay roll taxes"
he asserted.
He estimated the workers and
employers would be saved $685.

result of the amendments.
The board estimated that old-age
pensions for single workers would
average $26 a month and for mar
ried couples, $39
Older Workers Benefit, Too.
The first crop Of benef1ciaries
will include a class of older work
ers once regarded as born too soon
to reap the benefits OF social secur-
ity. They reached and passed the
IS mark in the early years of the
system, and at that time the stat
ute limited the accumulation of
wage credits to workers who had
not passed IS.
Congress, however, took of the
limitations against the securing of
wage credits over IS last summer
and reopened the social security sys-
tenn to this group Of oldsters, esti-
mated at 10000.
An analysis by the board of the
first 1,94S claims filed showed that
in a large proportion OF cases the
wives of retiring workers were too
young to become eligible for bene-
fits.
Wives and widows, except young
widows with children, must be 65 or
older to qualify for supplemental
benefits, and in the first batch of
claims only 1875 workers had wives
65 or over. There were 652 wives
between go and IS and 500 under 60.

heavy responsibility would rest upon

Election would leave the country
in a state Of confusion and uncer-

a vital week, measures which the
government thought necessary, check
the output of munitions vital to us
at this time and distract the atten-

New Testament Is
Hope of War Scared
World, Foot Says

Kansas City, April 27.-(AP)-A
British ''local preacher" who few
days ago saw babies being fitted
with gas masks called today for "a
return to the New Testament as the
hope Of a War-Scared world.
"The church has a message and
there is no better time to have it,,
added the Rev. Isaac Foot, of Ply
mouth, England, in an address to the
Methodist Uniting Conference here.
Foot, former member Of Par
lament, is a layman and president
of the Methodist Sunday School As
sociation of Great Britain.
The conference was called to per-
feet a unity for a new Methodist
church made up of the present Meth
odist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal
South, and Methodist Protestant
branches.
''In world dominated by the code
Of the wolf pack "Foot said, "a world
in which gas masks have become a
standard item of domestic equip
ment, the Christian church offers
the hope and promise of fellowship" +"
"There must be return to the New
Testament. The political leaders of
the world will have to return to the
New Testament and to the church
before they can find a permanent
solution"
American Methodists, Foot said,
through tradition Of fellowship in
diversity are equipped to promote
"the recovery of fellowship"
