Asked if he could furnish any de-
tails on present location of the SO
destroyers destined for Great
Britain, or the time of their actual
transfer. Mr.. Early declined
brusquely.
Mr. Hitler can find that out for
himself" the secretary said. "As far
as ! am concerned, he'll have to find
out for himself where they are,
which ones they are, where they're
going and when they're going"

The Navy said yesterday eight OF
the destroyers were being made
ready at the Boston Navy Yard for
release to Britain and that they
probably would be ready by Friday
for American crews to take them to
Canada and turn them over to the
British. Whereabouts Of the other
ships was not diclosed, except that
they were somewhere on the Allan
tic seaboard.
Questioned about the criticism of
Wendell Willkie that the inter-
national transaction should have
been revealed in advance of agree
ment, Mr.. Early said at first he had
no comment, and added:

Qualifications For
Monthly Benefit
Checks Explained
eighth of a Seriesl

Qualifications necessary to re-
ceive monthly benefits in 1910 are
that a claimant must show that
he has attained age IS and has
been employed in commerce or
industry at pay rate of $50 or
more in each of six different CAL
endar quarters since 1886. Exam
pie: A mechanic who will be IS
in December 1889 was employed
by a garage for two weeks in
January, a week each in April
and September 1887. Then in 1888
he had a part-time mill job dur
ing March, for three weeks in
August and during December.
Since he worked some part of the
three-mohth period in six differ
ent quarters, with wages amount
ing to $50 or more in each, he
should be eligible for monthly
benefits next year.
If a 65-year-old worker does
not have enough wage credits to
qualify for monthly benefits, he
may build up sufficient credits by
continuing to work in covered
employment. Wages received dur
ing 1887 and 1888 count toward
old-age insurance benefits, only if

they were received before the
workers siXty-fifth birthday.
Since the law has been changed,
wages earned after 1888 count to-
ward benefits regardless of the
workers age.
Example: Mr.. Man, who is now
66 is a part-time store clerk. Dur
ing 1887 he was paid $50---or
more--in each, of two calendar
quarters. Prior to his sixty-fifth
birthday in 1888 he also received
$50 in wages during one quarter.
In 1889, he was paid another $50
in wages. If he continues to work
and earn wages Of $50 or more
during the last quarter of 1889
and the first quarter of 1910, he
will have six quarters of cover
age and will be eligible for
monthly benefits.
