''Victory Fleet Day"
 Formally Designated
Nation to Honor Shipping Companies on September
 27, Third Anniversary of Wartime Merchant Fleet

Victory Fleet Day, September 27, the third anniversary of the birth of the wartime merchant fleet, will be dedicated to the shipping companies of the United States that have maintained the global lifeline of Q nation at war, War Shipping Ad- ministrator Emory s, Land annonuc- ed today,
 The War Shipping Administration has directed that this years eele- bration be in honor of the American flag lines successful accomplish. ment of the most complete and most dangerous transportation task in history.
 Three years ago, on September 27, 194l, the first of the Liberty ships, the Patrick Henry, was launched at Baltimore, Md, the forerunner of thousands of vessels under the United States Maritime Commis- Bion'S emergency building program, Today there are over 3,400 vessels Liberty ships, tankers, the standard C.type vessels and other ships-un- der control of the War Shipping Ad- nlnlstration and operated by the private shipping companies.
 Because of the broadly conceived Merchant Marine Act of 1886, the United States had Q maritime pat tern established when the present war began" Q VISA representative said. "Its ships were being ably operated by the privately owned American flag lines, It was this nue. leus of experienced management and seagoing personnel that enabled the lines to accept and fulfill the great task so suddenly thrust upon them by the war. Victory Fleet Day will serve to bring home to millions of Americans the significant fact that our enormous overseas Mer- chant Marine today is being oper- ated not by the War Shipping Ad- ministration-which has only strate- gic control of shipping for the dura- ton of the war-but by private steamship companies.
 Tt speaks well for the efficient organization and mature experience of the established American shipping companies that they were able not only to lend scores of trained eXecu- tives to various governmental agen- cieS, but could hereafter organize themselves to handle fleets of from two to four times peacetime size"
 In l94S there were 62,000, 900 long tons of cargo moved out of the United States. VISA said that in this great movement of goods to all parts
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-07

of the earth, despite the handlcaps under which shipping companies were forced to operate full and by there has not been single failure of shipment for any cause that could be aseribed to the operators, nor has there been an essential ear- go left ct the dock for lack Of ship ping space"
 Commercial considerations, in the said, have been forgotten. Merchant ordinary sense of the term, VISA shipping has become Q branch of the armed services, though 1t retains It's civilian status, As such, merchant ships and seamen have had on es- sential part in the operations of the Allies, and so dangerous that per- sonnel losses in i942 and l043 were proportionately higher than in the armed forces, and still are in mid. 1944.
 Victory Fleet Day. Admiral Land said, should remind America, that in i04l, as in 1917, this country was thrust into e war of transport for which it was largely unprepared; that in l942 and ie4S, despite dis ruption of the national economy and at vast expense-inuch greater than the peacetime maintenance of on adequate merchant flaarine-niracls of shiphuilding and ship operation were performed and disaster avert- ed, Victory Fleet Day should bring home too the fact that modern Merchant Marine is composed prim- arily of Its shore and seagoing per- sonnel, and secondarily of It's ships. Furthermore. that without expert. enced, capable management to oper- ate, man, provision and fuel our ves- sels and to supervise the intricate and difficult loading and discharge of cargoes, the United States could not have made its total war effort effective.
 Victory Fleet Day will accent the fact that when peace comes the shipping companies, having proved their ability to handle under the most adverse conditions the vast worldwide commerce of war, will be supremely well equipped to fulfill their part in their country's greatly expanded postwar foreign trade. Then, for the first time in two gen. erations, the United States may again hear witness, as 1t did in the glorious days of the clipper ships, to the truth of Admiral Alfred T. Mahan's famous axion1s:
 "A nations seaborne trade is the lifeblood of its power, the assurer of

Question: work at e hospital where no social security deduc- tons are taken from my pay. I don't make as much as fellows who work in the shops and they get a pension from social security when they reach 6S and I get nothing. I haven't as much chance to save for my old age as they have. How come hospital workers get no social security benefits?
 Answer: Certain groups of work CTS are exempt from the provis- ions of the Social Security Act. Among these groups are the em- ployes of non-profit organizations, which include most of our hospit- als. The Social Security Board rec recognizes that Fundamental limitation of the old-age and sur- vivors insurance program is its restriction of coverage. The Board has recommended in its Eighth Annual Report. submitted to Con- gress in January, that coverage under old-age and survivors insur- ance be extended to groups now excluded. Employees of non-profit institutions are among the groups for whom coverage is recommend ed.

Question: My husband died two months ago an dT received Q lump sum payment of $240 from the Social Security Board. am only ei yea%s LSd and I was told that 1 would not be eligible for month- ly payments until I reached 65. I need the income just as much now as I'll need it at 65. Why can't widows, who are too old to work, collect monthly payments when their husbands die?
 Answer: The Social Security Board realizes that the qualifying age of 65 for receipt of widows benefits often works hardship on widows who are not yet 65 and who are unable to work. There fore, the Board has recommended. in it's Eighth Annual Report sub- mitted to Congress in January, a minimum qualifying age of SO years, rather than the present 65, for the widows of insured work CTS.
