Origin of Fifth Column"

Curiosity persists as to the pre-
else origin Of fifth column" Best
evidence is that 1t comes from words
first used by Spanish Gen. Quiepo de
Llano in 1886 respecting the siege of
Madrid. He was Frances official
broadcaster from Seville. While four
insurgent columns were marching
against the capital, Gen. de Llano
proclaimed by radio that inside
Madrid was "f1fth column which
at the psychological moment would
overwhelm the defenders. It's main
job was to sabotage public services
water, light, communications, etc
and. by generally disorganizing Ma
drid's normal life, make its capture
comparatively easy.
Origin Of another current phrase
fellow neutrality-suspicious. not
formally identified with Commun-
ist. Nazi or Fascist organizations-is
not so clear. I get many inquiries
even yet. about "blitzkrieg' 1t is a
double German word mean

was first used, I think, by Goering. to
indicate the kind of tactics the Nazi
air armada would employ.

Virginia last July he said:
To maintain our freedom, we
must assume certain definite
duties. We must be prepared to
prevent seizure and occupation of
any additional territory in the
Western Hemisphere by a Euro
pean or Asiatic power. This means
we must be able to concentrate
men, guns and planes in adequate
force at any vulnerable point In
the three Americas, from Point
Barrow to TERRA del Fuego. To
DO so, we must have adequate
force on land, at sea and in the

One amendment to the Social
Security act applies to workers
who are nearly or who have al
ready reached IS years of age.
The new law makes it possible for
these men and women to receive
monthly old-age insurance bene-
fits after January l, 1910.
A 65-year-old worker in fac
tory, shop, mill, mine, store, or
other employment covered by the
act is entitled to file a monthly
old-age insurance benefit claim,
provided he meets a few simple
requirements.
Under the original Social Sc
curly act, old-age insurance pay
ments were made to workers at
the age IS. This was in lump
sum and amounted to 31s per
cent of all taxable wages receiv-
ed by the claiment after 1886 and
before he reached age IS.

spot. More than 500 cities have
applied for the plan, and the con-
gressmen representing those cities
will be clamoring to get it for
their voters. That means they
might have to dicker with Sec
rotary Wallace's men. Maybe they
might be persuaded to change
their mind about the farm bill,
and vote more for the farmer in
exchange for a stamp plan.
Anyway, the squeeze play is on.
The next steps up to the senate.
The final day of reckoning can
be put off a few weeks, but it's
coming-and that goes for every
one of the dozens of appropria-
ton bills in congress.
That's why it's so hard to save
the taxpayers money in a COM
pick economy like ours. Especial
ly in an election year when
everybody wants something, and
his vote goes to the congressman
who tries to give him what he
wants.

one over at Lake Benton this week.
The lake is shallow with only a few
inches of water under the thick blanket of
ice. Armed not with spear and decoy or

potato fishermen, after cutting good
sized holes in the ice, have been scooping
out the water fast so that other water rush

Boysen had to admit it was an ingen-

put stop to it. Game and fish laws cover
even this deviation from common practices
in obtaining fish.
