Three Billion Distributed In
Social Security Program; 10
Find Jobs For Insured Idle
Federal Governments Social Security Program Celebrates
Fifth Anniversary This Week-Public Assistance OPP
Grafton Aids Some 100000 Persons Every Month.

Washington, D. c. The federal
governments social security program,
which celebrated it's fifth anniversary
this week, has distributed $3,000,000,-
600 to aged and unemployed workers,
and to widows, orphans and the blind
in the United States.
The large scope of protection given
by the program is revealed in a state
ment by the Social Security Board
that approximately 50,000,000 had
been enrolled in the program since
President Roosevelt signed the act in
1895.
The benefits of the social security
program are distributed through half
a dozen outlets which are either ex-
elusive federal enterprises or joint
undertakings of nation and state.
It's insurance benefits for the aged
and unemployed are financed by pay
roll taxes, while direct grants from
federal and state treasures sustain
the public assistance features for the
young, the old and the helpless in need
At the top of the program is the
old-age and survivors, insurance sys-
tenn, which pays out monthly benefits
to workers who retire at 65, and to
their wives, widows and orphans. Up
to June 80 this system had paid $685.
100000 to 102,941 persons.

Arthur S. Jandrey, T.V. A. director
of personnel.
Supplementary to the agreement,
the Is unions, through the council,
adopted resolution pledging all eff
forts to keep production for the ma
tional defense power program at the
highest possible level. The unions
also promised to stamp out any sub
versive elements that might arise.
T. v. AS labor policy has drawn
high praise from many sources. The
most comprehensive analysis of the
policy was made recently by Judson
King, director of the National Popu-
lar Government League, and published
in pamphlet form.
"The T.V.A A. experiment." King
said, "gave it's board and it's en-
ployes an opportunity to set up a
new and advanced type of labor re-
lations; one in which the old master
servant, dog-eat-dog, strike-and-l
out methods would be abolished"
All foremen and superintendents
were coached in administering the
policy, so that labor would be fairly
treated. Those who failed to go along
were disciplined or dismissed, King
pointed out
The result has been, he added, that
not only has labor won superb work
ing conditions, but efficiency has been
high and construction costs low. King
suggested that the 7. V. A. idea be
followed by all publicly-owned utili-
ties in the nation.

WPA CO-OPERATES in
ALIEN REGISTRATION;
TO AID in MANY WAYS

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Full
assistance to the Department of JUS
tice in the nationwide registration
and fingerprinting of aliens will be
extended by the Work Projects Ad-
ministration, Colonel F. C. Harring-
ton, commissioner, announced.
Through its education, recreation,
art, music and other programs reach
ing large numbers of people, w. P. A..
will aid in making generally known
the requirements of the registration
law. In addition, workers on the
Adult Education Program, particu-
larly those engaged in teaching lit
eracy and citizenship, will be avail
able to assist aliens in properly filling
out the forms which the registration
act requires.
'There are, of course, no aliens on
w. P. A. rolls" Colonel Harrington
explained, "but by the nature of GER
tain of our community service prof.
ects we reach great many non-citi-
zens. They attend our adult educa-
ton courses, engage in recreational
activities conducted under our recrea-
ton program, visit our art exhibi-
tions and musical performances.
To Make Facts Known
cat the request of Department of
Justice officials conducting the alien
registration, we have agreed to CO.
operate in making the facts of the
registration known and in assisting
aliens who need help in filing the
proper forms"
An act requiring the registration
and fngerprinting of all aliens in the
country was passed by Congress dur
ing it's present session. The period in
which this is to be done has been set

Unemployment compensation, which
gives insured workers a moderate
weekly sum during limited number
of weeks of joblessness, is reported
to have distributed more than $1,000,-
100000 in out-of- work benefits.
Of the more than 28,000,000 COM
mercial and industrial workers COW
cred by the insurance, about 100000
new jobless are drawing unemploy-
ment compensation.
To find jobs for the insured idle, the
social security system has taken over
the Employment Service. 1t has been
credited with filing 100000 jobs
during 1889 and the first six months
of 1940
The public assistance phases of the
program, distinct from the old-age
and jobless insurance systems, are op-
Grated through joint federal state
machinery to provide, on basis of
need, financial care for the aged un-
able to qualify for insurance benefits,
for the needy blind, and for depend
ent children.
The public assistance operation, Of
ficials reported, aids some 100000
persons every month, among them
1,93S,90O aged, 100000 children, and
$4,000 blind. The expenditure for
this part of the system has totaled
about 81 1000 ,O0O.O 900.

WAGE-BOOST STRIKE WON
BY DETROIT TRANSFERS

Detroit, Mich-Local 299 of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters
won a 10-cent hourly wage increase
for 1900 truckers and yardmen in the
settlement of a 19-day strike. The
settlement covering all firms con-
cerned granted a seven and one-half
cent raise Immediately and two and
one-half cents next January /, bring
ing the wage then up to 80 cents an
hour.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-08-23

from August 27 to December &c. Con-
duct of the registration has been
placed in the hands of the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization Service of the
Department of Justice, using postof-
fees throughout the country as regis
tration centers.
One means by which w. P. A. will
assist in spreading the word of the
registration will be the reading of a
brief announcement at all perform
ances by units of the w. P. A. Music
Program. During an average week
of autumn and early winter, Colonel
Harrington estimated, the Music Pro
gram will give approximately 1900
public and radio concerts in towns
and cities all over the country. Sew
eral million listeners will be reached
in this fashion.
Other Programs to Aid
Similarly, the Adult Education Pro
gram, conducting an average of 10O,-
900 classes weekly, and the Recrea-
tion Program, operating in thousands
of Fairgrounds and community cen
ters, will also serve as effective me-
diums of information on the regis
tration.
Adult education classes will be ad-
ditionally helpful, it was pointed out,
in assisting persons properly to fill
out the forms required by the regis
tration. Many thousands of aliens
already are enrolled in literacy and
citizenship classes conducted by the
w. P. A. During the last few years
it is estimated that an average OF
10000 aliens have been assisted each
year in achieving naturalization
through these classes.

0iIReserve Land in Kern County
BELONGS to United States, Ickes Says

ard Oil decision related to section
IS. Ickes based his opinion today
on the supreme court action IN the
Standard Oil case.
Both sections of land were grant
ed to California years ago for pub
lie school purposes but such grants
we're later held not to include land
which was known to contain min
eral deposits. Before the discovery
of oil in the Kern county area,
California sold section SO to private
interests which later sold to Stand
ard Oil.
Ickes, after an Investigation. held
that the land was known to be of
mineral character when it passed
to California and the supreme court
upheld that view. Action on the
General Petroleum property was
upheld until the supreme court de-
cided the issue. Oil has not been
produced on that property but some
biologists believe there are under
lying oil deposits.

SAB 100000 item for the purchase
of 1000 Rolls Royce aircraft en-
gineS from an American manufac-
turer The purchase was to have
been made from the Ford Motor
company but this deal collapsed
when Ford refused to sell to the
British government.
The army increase in enlisted
strength would add $4,000 men to
the 227000 already IN the service.
A bill is pending to authorize
further boost - to 100000 That
would mean the appropriation of
more funds.
In passing the bill, the house ex-
ceeded Mr.. Roosevelt's budget esti-
mates by $3l9,731 1896, and the SEN
ate boosted it still higher. The army

tracts Immediately. The bill also
has money for modernization and

cation gets $3,358,800 to hire 500
