absolute certainty, but the little
fellow had no doubt himself and

He indeed performed the re-
markable feat of doing one of

Law Provides
Monthly Pay
Seek Claimants for
u. S. Insurance

Plans for getting in touch with
claimants who may now be entitled
to monthly insurance payments
under the federal social security
act were announced today by j
II. johnson, manager of the Ia
coma office OF the social security
board, who has returned from q
regional conference of social Sc
eurity officials in San Francisco.
Johnson said special attention will
be given to informing the widows
and surviving children of insured
workers who have died since last
January l of the insurance pay
nents now provided by the act.
This is a new feature of the
law" Johnson said, and some
families may not be informed of
their rights. Several of these
claims by the surviving widow
and children of the deceased
worker have already been filed
with the Tacoma office. but we
are anxious that no one entitled to
these payments will be over
looked"
Johnson reported that employers
have in many instances been
helpful in informing the survivors
of former employee of their rights
and directed them to his office.
Labor union officials were also
said to be helpful in advising their
members of the new provisions of
the law.
Monthly insurance payments
will be made, it was explained, if
the worker died this year, leaving
a widow with child under age is.
providing the father previous to
death had worked at jobs under
the social security act in at least
six calendar quarters within the
past three years with earnings of
at least $50 in each of the six
quarters.
The Tacoma office of the Social
Security board, located at 603
Washington bldg. receives claims
from families entitled to insurance
payments and also from eligible
workers who have attained age SIS
and have had sufficient employ
ment under the law to entitle
them to monthly payments upon
retirement.

Society Of Natives
Urge Residents for
District Jobs
D.
Asks Provision in
Any Reorganization;
Supports Rutland

A demand that jobs in the Dis
trict government henceforth shall
be reserved for men and women
who have lived in Washington for
at least three years was made last
night by the Society of Natives of
Washington at its monthly meet
ing in the Continental Hotel.
Such a provision should be in
corporated in any reorganization
plan adopted by this session of Con-
gress, the society declared-on the
ground it is obnoxious to have high
and low positions go to people from
outside of the District who know
nothing of its needs and problems. !"
Members unanimously voted to
present this position at all congress
sional hearings on reorganization.
= An exception should be made,
however, the society decided, in the
case of District jobs of an expert
character which cannot be adequate
ly filled by local men.
Vigorous opposition to displace-
ment of DR.. George c. Rutland as
District health officer was expressed
in second resolution, unanimously
adopted.
The society's annual banquet was
tentatively set for April %.

Film OF Frontier Days
To Be Shown At Bijou

Roy. Rogers, whose particular
cinematic forte is American his
tory, is currently cast in another
absorbing drama of frontier days,
The Ranger and the Lady," which
is scheduled to open Friday at
the Bijou Theatre for a 2 day run.
The Republic picture places Roy

days when Sam Houston journeyed
to Washington on a political mis-

of men who proved to be crooks
and scoundrels.
One of these men, General Au-
gustus LaRue, Arbitrarily sets a
tax on all wagon trains using the
Santa Fe trail, and orders Captain
Colt played. by Roy Rogers to
enforce this order.
Captain Colt knows that If he
refuses, he will be relieved of his
