No Happy Birthday, Herr Hitler

THE most notorious ruler of Europe since Napoleon
celebrated his Sind birthday anniversary Sum
day
The spoiled child of doting mother, he flunked
in the most elementary studies and grew up untran-
ed for any work or profession.
Too physically weak for hard work, he used labor
unions as tools to forget his An unprepossess
ing, broodng ascetc, he is temperate in habits and
seldom drinks even coffee.
His fathers name is Hiedler. Why Hitler chang
ed his name is unknown Corporal Hitler took part
in 48 engagements in the World War; was wounded
and gassed and spent Arnistice Day in hospital
He wears no decorations except the Iron Cross
Coming into public notice in the Beer Hall Putsch
OF November 1928 he was arrested as rebel against
the Bavarian government and was sentenced to five
years in prison. There he passed his time writing
"Mein Kampf' Some 2,5OO0OO copies have been
sold netting the author 100000. Der Fuehrer re-
ceives no salary from his government today.
He prepares the plans for his blitzkriegs himself
seldom goes to bed before or nl and sleeps late
Members of his household stay up until he retires
Berlin barber comes in every morning, shaves
him and tells him what the public is thinking But
tered toast, jam and glass of milk form his break
fast. When he is with his army he consumes large
quantities Of hazal nuts carried in his pockets:
He has steel helmet and pistol. but they do ex-
ecution only in his wardrobe.
Goering, supposed to be his understudy, apes him
in Dress collars position of his hands and even the
unless given the by his master and then he guf
flaws uproariously
Hitler's worries do not seem to wear him down. fo1
he weighs 25 pounds more than when he took office
in 1888
He is said to have cribbed several things American
our airpanes, tanks, submarines and Charlie
Chaplim's mustache.
Der Fuehrer put the unemployed and hopeless into
uniform as storm troops. His fanatica nationasn
and genius for oraoy got the backing Of the discon
tents.

Extend Old Ase Benefits

MAYOR LAGUARDIA of New York was on sound
wi ground when be urged that odage benefits under
the Social Security Act be extended until every man and
woman in this country is eligible to participate
The equity behind this demand for making the cover
age universal lies in the fact that the nature
of things help finance pensions for retired workers
every time they make purchase.
For hidden in the cost of goods is tax cost including
the item of social security imposts.
No broad injustice is done if the resultant benefits
widely difusod as the hJden burden Of social
security taxes.
ON THE other hand, the exempt groups. such as
" farmers and domestic servants. at present dis
eliminated against Hidden in the price of things they
buy as consumers contributions to the pensions of
others while they themselves are without similar oldage
protection
The nonpartsan social security commission spon-
sored by the Hearst newspapers, which made compre-
hensive study Of this subject back in 1881 concluded
"Inasmuch part of the cost may be passed along
CONSUMERS ,fiee ef too> drsirabir to make
the benefits nearly universal as the costs As a
step would be desirable TO bring under the terms
the act a. rapidly is Enthusiastically feasible the
exempt groups. As the coverage is wdened contribu.
tons by general taxpayers become increasingly Justified
Since that time, Congress has already gone part of
revising the act accordance with the advice
of the Hearst commission, and should go further.
MAYOR LA GUARDIA in his recent address before
wi the regional conference in New York of managers
and assistant managers of the social security board field
staff, also made an unwise suggestion
He proposed amendment whereby participants
could increase their oldage benefits by making larger
contributions on a voluntary basis.
This it seems TO u.s. would bring the federal govern
men into needless competition with the insurance
panies and savings banks.
Experience in Great Britain and in other countries
with longer background in social security demonstrates
that is equipped only to provide minimum
wages for the retired Those wanting more comforts IN
old age have opportunity To supplement compulsory
social security with voluntary private savings and
insurance.
