tional executive and legislative
secretary. Mr.. Johnson has been
in Washington for three and
half years devoting his time ex-
clusively to this measure as an
amendent to the Social Security
Act.
"No other general pension
measure" stated Mr.. Johnson,
"has ever made such progress
as this measure has shown. An
extremist measure calling for a
maximum pension of 5000 per
month got up to 178 on a dis
charge petition but has been
stalled there for the last three
months. In this period the Gen
eral Welfare Act, H. R. $500,
gained 80 signatures on it's dis
charge petition. Fifteen whole
state delegations have signed
this petition, as well as eight
chairmen of House Commit
tes and four Ways and Means
Committee members. Nine Com
mittee Chairmen have joined
the G. w. A. Steering Commit
tee, as have two members of the
Ways and Means Committee.
We are proud of this legislative
achievement as the voice of san
ity in pensions and feel GER
tain that this sound and reason
able pension proposal, based on
the theory of insurance against
privation in old agep will obtain
the floor hearing of which it
has been deprived, in which
event it will, in my opinion,
pass and go to the Senate. 1t
has already been heard before
the Ways and Means Commit
te for five days and has been
perfected to meet every reason
able objection urged against it.
We feel that it is the best as
well as the leading measure in
the pension field and that it Of
fers a scientific approach to the
pension problem"

PENSION MEASURE MAY
REACH HOUSE FLOOR

House leaders in Congress
were stirred this week by re-
ports that the Magnuson Cen
eral Welfare Act, H. R. 1920,
$50 per month general pension
measure which has been quietly
gaining strength in the past few
months, may reach the floor
through the discharge petition
route. The sponsors of the
measure claim 205 on a dis
charge petition, No. Is, to have
it taken from the Ways and
Means Committee for floor dis
cussion and vote and state that
9 more Congressman have prom
ised to sign "if their signatures
are needed to get it out" To
secure a release of a measure
218 signatures are required.
Congressman Warren G. Mag
nuson (D) of Washington, who
introduced the measure in April,
1889, and who filed the dis
charge petition to have it releas-
ed, pointed out recently that a
non-partisan steering commit
tee of 100 Congressman, of
which Committee Harry r.
Sheppard CD of California is
chairman, met to devise ways
and means of getting the re-
naming signatures necessary to
bring the measure to the floor.
He stated that he fully expect
ed a floor hearing before ad-
journment or recess of Congress.
Besides the 100 Congressman
who have signed a resolution en-
dorsing this measure, H. r. 1920,
the bill is being sponsored by
the General Welfare Federation
of America, 945 Pennsylvania
Ave., N. W., Washington, d. c.,

bia corporation, of which Arthur

 Improved demand came into lead- ing issues and groups, but second grade issues continued to dominate dealings. Investment buying sent several highest grade issues on the board to new highs for the year and longer.
 American Telephone and Tele- graph made new high since 1887 when its annual report showed rec order gross income for the Bell Telephone system and a net profit for the parent company more than sufficient to pay the dividend.
 DuPont also made new high and Chemical issues generally were strong. The chemical industry has been reported in @ favorable earn ings position and some experts an- ticipated war orders that would boost profits.

though the police are on the alert for questionable operations.
 Operators of bingo concessions in Bridgeport were ordered last night to curb the awarding of mer- chandise orders on stores as prizes in bingo games here.
 City Court Prosecutor Otto La- Machia of that city, told the opera. tors at meeting in the city court- room that they were to limit the merchandise prizes to six games a night.
 Proposes MaximuIn
 Because many complaints have been received here regarding the undesirability of these merchandise orders, we feel that six a night are the maximum that should be given," MT LaMacchia said.
 T don't want anybody to abuse his bingo permit privileges" he add ed.
 The purpose of the meeting, which was attended by more than 50 operators and several city offi- cials, was to investigate series of complaints the city has received in connection with the operation of bingo games ana acquaint the op- orators with their obligations under the law, the prosecutor declared.
 "These merchandise orders are the big bone of contention in all the complaints we have received" he said. "Bingo should be curbed for the benefit of the operators them- selves and some policing of the game is needed for the good of the operators and the public at large"
 Police Superintendent Charles A Wheeler told the operators that the police department wants to help the churches and other organiza- tions that sponsor bingo games"
 Asks Law Be Observed
 Some organizations have been overstepping the bounds, however, ? he said. And am here tonight to ask you to adhere strictly to regu- altions."
 Mr. Wheeler said that the opera. tors would be asked to turn over their books to city authorities for a cursory checkup within a few days
 If we receive many more com- plaints about how you fellows are running these games, they will draw the attention of the state au- thorities and you may not have your concessions long," he warn- ed.
 State Senator Albert L. Coles of Bridgeport, sponsor of the bingo bill in the last session of the State Leg islature said that he was fully in accord" with MT. LaMacchia and MT Wheeler's remarks and warned the operators to curb the merchandise orders.

BOARD TO NAME
 WELFARE CLERK
Several Applications Ex- pected-MayOr to Await
 Commissioners Choice

Action on the appointment of a clerk of the board of welfare is ex- pected when the board holds its next meeting Tuesday, the 18th. There is a vacancy caused by the promotion of Martin F. Hayden, former clerk, to the post of welfare superintendent.
 Three applications were received by the board at its meeting last Tuesday, but no action on filling the vacancy was taken. The applicants were Edward Doyle, Wallace J. IngliS and George Watson.
 There was talk that the welfare board might seek to leave the posi- ton vacant, thereby ef1ecting a sav- ing in the departments budget but 1t is believed that an appointment will be made. The clerk of the board also serves as welfare investi- gator, and assists the superintendent in great deal of of1lce work.
 The position pays a salary of $2,75O a year. Mayor Vincent A.. Scully plans to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the board, as he did with the superintendency.
 James Brickel, former clerk in the city's water department for long period of years is said to be one under consideration for the head clerkship in the office of the city's welfare department. MT. Brickel was let out when the Republicans took over control of the city government when former Mayor Hayes resigned and Patrick M. Perriello took over the reins of the city government.
 Mir. Brickel is a well-known mem- Der of the local Democratic party and is extremely popular through out the city and in the Brooklyn section where he has resided for years.
 Another Brooklynite, whose name Is still prominently mentioned for the position is Henry Begnal. MT. Beg nal Is now located in Washington engaged iia social welfare work. He had the backing of Rev. pr. Eugene P. Cryne for the appointment as head of the welfare department which position went to MT. Hayden.
 It Is now understood that Dr. Cryne is desirious of having MT. Begnal accept the under position feeling that because of his train ing in welfare work his services to the city would be invaluable.
