 Cheering Picture
 Strong British and U. s. forces in Iceland now include some very considerable U. s. and British naval air forces" Churchill said, and he gave the British people a somewhat cheering picture of the battle on the seas and the sudden increase of British successes dur ing the past two months, but made it plain that there is long fight ahead.
 He made only passing refer ence to Spitzbergen, Norwegian Arctic Archipelago, which Allied forces raided to prevent its coal from going to Germany, but men, ton of the action brought loud cheers.
 Churchill said: The Allied Front now runs in an immense crescent from Spitzbergen on the Arctic Ocean, to Tobruk on the Western Desert. Our section of this front will be held by the British Empire Armies and their growing strength. fed and equipped by ocean-borne supplies from Britain, the United States, India and Australia. I'm glad to say that adequate naval power will be at hand in the At lantic and Indian Oceans to secure these sea routes against attack"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL ASK PENSIONS FOR ALL OVER 50

Now thar the ald-t0 -Br1ta1n b1l1 mas been enacted, President Roosevelt will carry out his plan to send special me s- sage to congress asking a flat federal cont ri but on of $3o month to retired persons over 50 regardless of other in- come and state pensions. The president want the social security program broaden ed int o "nati ona1 system" and to include all types of workers uncer the unemploy- ment insurance and old-age pension plans.
 It will be recalled that in the pre- si- dent 8 budget me ssage to congress he laid the foundation of his plan by rec omnending "that the congress give consideration to the inclusion in the old-a and survivors insurance system and the unempl loyment com pensation system of workers not now cover ed."
 President Roosevelt told cabinet mem bers and Democratic leaders that after the boom spending of World second is ended the old-age pension system will be well come cushion to help keep up the nations buying power. Many older men and women have returned to work under the impetus of the defense program but these would be the first to be laid off when it ends.
 The president feels that flat $3o 8 month federal cont ributi on will be suffi- cient, with whatever state funds and out side incom aged persons receive.
 A survey shows that 65% of persons over
 
 65 years old lack any resources, while 20 per cent have incom omes of under $1oO month. Only 15I over 65 have incomes ov- CT $loo month.
