attacking continuously with all the force they could exert. The Rus sians were said to be resisting stoutly and even to be continuing their stabbing counter attacks into German advanced positions.
 Experts Doubt Maxi Claims
 Military experts here were inclined to doubt German claims that the suburbs, as suburbs are usually clas- sified, had been penetrated, despite the "at the gates" broadcast from Leningrad. They recalled claims weeks ago that the Germans had broken through Leningrad's inner defense rings.
 Nevertheless, experts said the battle was now one of such ferocity that a deadlock could not last long and If fighting continued on its present scale one side or the other must crack. They assessed the Ger man and Russian chances as about equal, but said any edge lay with the Germans, who had much the more at stake.
 For Russia, the experts said, the loss of Leningrad would be serious blow but would be only one more reverse in Q war which Russians ex- pect to fight on c long-range strate- gic plan. For the Germans, they said, failure to take Leningrad would be @ taclt admission of Q de- feat such as the German army can- not afford.
 Advices received here indicated that the Russian counter. attacks continued on the central front over i0o-mile stretch and after pushing the Germans back across the Dvira River north of Smolensk the Rus" sians continued to advance.
 The Russian situation continued grave in the south but experts heard that Marshal Semyon 4udenny had been able to throw Q consider able force into counter-attack near the Kherson area, on the lower Dnieper River northwest of the Cri- mean Peninsula.

HOUSE CLEANING AND FIRE

Mrs. America is now turning her
expert hand to the job of spring
house cleaning, and woe betide all
interference! There she stands
towel guarding her couture, with a
broom and scrubbing brush-mls-
tress of all she surveys.
There is panic amid the cobwebs,
the dust particles shudder despair
ingly. Wise husband stays downtown
for dinner. Smart children absent
themselves.
But the National Board of Fire
Underwriters dares to raise voice.
"Mrs. America" it says, there were
1900 fires a day in this country IN
1910. Most of them were in homes.
They cost the lives of thousands OF
loved ones, the loss of cherished
possessions, of hundreds of million
of dollars. Can't we do better than
that from now on?'
And so the National Board, which
observed it's 18th anniversary this
year, tries to show Mrs. America the
best way to fight fire is before Ut
starts. House-clean the fire hazards,
it advises. Beware of rubbish in the
attic and basement. Never clean with
gasoline-it's liquid dynamite. Dis
card non-metal waste baskets and
ash containers. Use only approved
electrical devices and equipment,
Put all oil or paint-soaked rags and
clothing in the furnace, lest spon-
taneous ignition break out.
"Fire-proof the American home
is a good slogan for house cleaning
time. And Mr.. America, along with
his Mrs, has a dividend-paying job
laid out for him here.

OLD AGE INSURANCE

Retired workers drawing FEEDER
al old-age insurance benefits who
take jobs available to older people
as result of the national defense
program will be entitled to their
benefits when they again quit work,
Mr.. William M. Donlin, acting man
ager of the Social Security Board
office at 80 South Street, Baltimore,
said today. He explained that under
the law monthly benefit payments
are discontinued during the time
when worker has job in covered
employment at SIS or more month.
A worker past IS who has retired
and begun receiving his monthly
old-age insurance payments is re-
quired to notify the Social Security
Board if he should at any time
work for wages of SIS or more a
month in employment covered by
the law, Mr.. Donlin said. He added
that the worker is not entitled to an
insurance payment for any month in
which he is employed. However,
when he stops work or loses his job
he should notify the Social Security
Board at once, and his monthly re-
tirement benefits will begin again.
According to Mr.. Donlin, the re-
tired worker taking a job is requir-
ed to notify the Social Security
Board only when the job is one of
those covered by law. He may work
in any other types of employment
such as farming, domestic service,
or odd jobs not connected with his
employers business--or he may have
business of his own, and continue
to receive his monthly payments.
Mr.. Donlin said that his Office has
postcard forms which workers can
obtain to use in notifying the Board
if they go back to work in any COW
cred employment. He urged workers
to call on his Office for information
concerning this or any other phase
of their old-age and survivors in
surance.

ELKTON GRETNA GREEN STILL
BOOMS

The Gretna Green business of
Elkton is booming again-despite
Maryland's "awiting" law for brid-
es-to-be.
The Maryland law requiring 49,
hour wait between the license ap-
plication and ceremony, put the
brakes on hasty marriages, but the
marriage laws of surrounding Stat
es have helped business at Elkton.
Some nearby states require long
er wait than Maryland, and some re-
quire a PHYSICIANS examination of
both parties.
The tide of matrimony reached it's
peak in 1898, the year the Maryland
waiting law was passed. That year,
16,O54 couples took their vows in
Elkton. In 1889, a mere 4,530 coup
les were married in Elkton, but the
record for 1910 showed S,415. OF
these, 1854 were waiver we'd
dings".

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

Certain labor leaders in the
United States today set themselves
and their demands above the well
fare and safety of the nation.
To enforce their demands, what
ever they happen to be, they do not
hesitate to imperil the lives, not
only of the workers themselves, but
of every man, woman and child in
our country.
Standing behind the cloak OF free
dom which they enjoy in this land,
they are deliberately pursuing a
course which may well destroy that
freedom, and destroy with it the
the labor movement they prostitute
for financial gain and power.
They dictate to government as
well as to industry and the worker.
There is only one force that can con-
troll them--public opinion, which
eventually controls government.
The welfare Of the public is today
threatened on all sides by rule or
ruin labor leadership.
First, our national defense is at
stake.
Second, the nations supply OF
coal is depleted to the danger point
by strikes and threatened strikes.
Third, farm production is dis
couraged through increased costs
the farmer cannot meet.
Fourth, the railroad workers now
go the defense workers and the coal
miners one better and demand a 80
per cent increase in basic wages
which, if granted, would So boost
living costs that the vicious circle OF
strikes would start all over again.
The development of little dictator
ships was practised in foreign lands
until helpless people accepted tot
al political dictatorship which final
~ destroyed personal liberty and
labor liberty as well.
Labor must realize that when the
safety of the nation is in jeopardy,
anything can happen. If the people
are driven too far, they will be fore
ed to demand a government dictat-
orship that. will end labor dictator
ship. And If that happens, the event
ual result will be the destruction OF
the kind of freedom we have all
enjoyed.

WAR EFFORT BEING USED TO
MAKE SOCIALIST STATE BUSI-
NESS LEADER WARNS

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
June 10. Many factors and moves in
the war effort are building the
framework of socialist society in
the United States, Merle Thorpe,
Editor, Nations Business, warned
over 400 leaders of the fertilizer
industry at the seventeenth annual
convention of The National Fertil-
izer Association.
Behind the scenes in Washington
today a titantic struggle is under
way, said Mr. Thorpe. "The battle
lines are drawn. On one side are
those who would change our form of
society. On the other side are bust
ness men who wish to organize the
country's Industrial machine for the
great war aid, but who, after the
war effort is over, wish to see re-
turn to individual ownership and
operation of industry. They fear,
and rightly, that many moves in the
war effort will result in a more or
less permanent collectivist or social
istic framework of American society.
AACy ASdA 0COpiy tAC QOcoApAO 0O-
destruction of the American way of
life. They feel that it is real threat
because some of our leaders, by their
own admission, have lost faith in
America before the present emer-
gency arose, and are today in the
Nations distress, working for a new
order of their own--an American of
nationalized industry and agricul-
ture, regimented way Of life.
Looking head to readjustments
after the war, Mr.. Thorpe said that
business must be on guard now and
in the future, if it would defeat the
forces, working for an economy
planned along collectivist lines.
Businessmen have long sensed what
philosophers have discovered that
economic freedom is blood brother
to the five other freedoms of the in
Naturalization, press, assembly,
petition, and speech" he said. IF
business holds fast to these ideals
and keeps the faith, much of the
distress which will naturally follow
the wartime boom will be eliminat-
ed in the hard days of reconstruc-
tion."
