Hugh J. Wade, Territorial Director of the Social Security Board, today announced that he was in receipt of a communication from Washington that the board today began to pay off on its one -millionth monthly in- surance benefit in force under the old-age and survivors insurance pro- gram.
 Initial monthly benefit checks, amounting to $5849 were presented to Mrs. Mary Rex Thompson, B, of Clevland, Ohio, recently widowed wife of a war worker, on behalf of herself and her two children.
 The payment marks the start of a monthly flow of such checks that, under normal circumstances, will continue for 17 years until her youngest child, Jerald, one, will have reached the age of IS. It was pointed out that Mrs. Thompson s payments will be resumed again when sine is 65, provided she does not remarry. Altogether, the pay ments on the social security account of her husband, John Robert Thompson, may total S15,000. Thompson paid S145 in taxes over a period of 7l2 years prior to his death on June 19, and his employers paid an equal amount on his ac- count.
 A check for $2507 will be sent each month to Mrs. Thompson and she also will receive one for S16.71 for each child each month, it was explained. Each child's check will stop at the age of Is. When Jerry Bob becomes 18, his mothers bene- fits will cease until she is 65.

Episcopal Editor Hits
Catholic Church as
Anti Russian Force
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The Rev.
DR.. Guy Emory Shipler, editor of
the Churchman, national Epis-
|copal magazine, last night declared
that "One Of the most powerful
anti Russian organizations has been
the Roman Catholic Church"
Addressing a gathering of $500
at Grace Episcopal Church here
honoring the 26th anniversary OF
the Red Army, DR.. Shipler said:
"The propaganda against Russia
has been done skillfully and con-
tinuously by some Of its (the
Roman Catholic church, best lead
ers, among them Msgr. Fulton j.
Sheen, whose propaganda, along
with that of Father Joseph Thorn
ing, against the republic of Spain
was so effective in misleading mil
lions of citizens of the United
States"
Says Record Is Proof.
Fulton Sheen is smooth speak
err" DR.. Shipler asserted, "and you
may have been lulled into over
looking his frequent attacks on
Russia. But it is not difficult to
find them in the records of his ad-
dresses"
Declaring that "every intelligent
American now knows, far too late" "
that the first large-scale battles for
democracy in the present war were
fought by the Loyalist armies Of
Spain, the minister said:
But throughout that conflict
Sheen and Thorning were telling
the people of America that we must
give no help to the Loyalist against
Franco-who had been designated
by the Pope as the Christian gen.
arlissimo."
DR.. Shipler, who recently returned
from visit to Great Britain, said
the British people were ashamed
that for so long they had swal-
lowed anti-Russian propaganda."
He said the Archbishop of York
had told him of seeing many crowd
ed churches in Russia. There was
no doubt of the Archbishop OF York's
faith in the Christian people of
Russia" he declared.
The meeting was marked by the
singing, probably for the first time
in an American church, Of the new
anthem of the Soviet Union. The
meeting was sponsored by the
Greenwich Village Committee of
American-Soviet Friendship.
