Urge Pension Applicants To
Inquire Before Quitting Job

Baltimore, Md. (ILNS) - Luther
Becker, field office manager of the
Federal Social Security Board here,
warns workers reaching 65 years of
age and wishing to file claim for
monthly old-age insurance payments
to discuss the matter with the board
representatives before giving up their
jobs.
Becker said cases had arisen where
applicants had thought they were eli
gible for payments when their wage
record showed they had insufficient
funds to entitle them to monthly
benefits.
Workers who do not have enough
wage credits to qualify for payments
must continue working in covered en-
ployment and build up sufficient
credits, he emphasized.

WITHERING UNITED
FRONT

(From Electrical Workers JournaD
What Americans see before their
eyes is the crumbling of the united
front. The united front is piece of
strategy devised by Communists to
secure attachment to themselves of
the liberal groups within a nation.
The most vivid example of the
united front occurred in France be-
tween the years 1868. The Com
munists succeeded in building the
united front by the weapon of fear.
They capitalized the threat of Fascism
and succeeded in convincing groups in
the community that if these groups
did not support the communist pro-
gram, Fascism would arrive. But the
united front crumbled in France as
it is now crumbling in the United
States.
The united front in the United
States was not as sharply outlined or
as forcibly propelled as in France, yet
that was surely the intent of the Com
munist Party. Through the erection
of dummy liberal groups, through the
attachment of the c. l. o. through CO.
operation of certain government agen-
cies, the Communist Party hoped to
take possession of the labor move
ment and bring about revolution in
America. These hopes were dashed
when Russia invaded Finland, and the
whole intellectual framework of Com
munism was shattered.

LIBERALIZE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
TO CUSHION BUSINESS D0WNSWINGS

In presenting the recommendations
Altmeyer stated that "these suggested
standards are not to be considered
ideal but rather suggestions which
may be Immediately and practically
considered. States with sufficient re-
serves and current income may well
consider making their benefits still
more adequate"
Liberalization of benefit payments
is necessary, the article states, for the
reason that it would result in more
nearly adequate payments to individ-
ual wage earners and also would have
the desirable economic effect of re-
leasing larger total disbursements at
the downswing of a business cycle.
improvements Held Imperative
Summarizing the boards recon-
mendations, Altmeyer stated, '@the
only permanent long-range program
on the statute books which attempts
to cope with the problem of unem-
ployment is the federal-state system
of employment security embodied in
the social-security program. 1t is i'm
perative, therefore, that we strengthen
and improve this permanent part of
our program Z. we must continue
not only to improve our techniques
and administration but also to enlarge
the scope of our operations
