, jalein, was so terrific that the islet was hidden in cloud of smoke from the rapid-firing guns, Finch said.
 Kwajalein, a crescent-Shaped is- land two and one half miles long and third of mile wide, was the site of the main headquarters for the Atoll and controlled the south ern entrance for its lagoon, the larg- est of its kind in the world and cap- able of anchoring huge naval fleet.
 Japanese at the northern end of the Atoll were henmed into a cor ner of the northeastern beach on Namur, where the enemy had built dumps to supply the triangular air. field on adjoining Roi Island. Finch said liquidation of the Jap anese pocket on Namur was expect ed "momentarily."
 Navy Seabees, fighter construc. tion workers, were believed already converting the bomb and shell-bat- tered Roi airfield into a base for further operations in the Marshalls and perhaps attacks on Truk, Ja- pans Pearl Harbor" only $40 miles to the east.
 American casualties continued moderate" Adm. Chester w. Nim- 1tz, commander fo the Pacific fleet, reported in his communique yester- day. Japanese casualties were not es- timated, though Nimitz revealed that several dozen enemy prisoners had been captured on Kwajalein. Naval observers attributed the success of the invasion to the fact that the enemy apparently had been taken by surprise and to the ter- rife bombardment laid down by the largest naval striking forse ever as- sembled in any ocean.
 A spokesman for Nimitz said the forces which landed on Kwajalein found the huge fires started by the naval bombardmenC more of an ob- stacle than the rifle, mcahine-gun and some mortar fire which they encountered inland.
 Disclosure that the invasion force had suffered no navals losses was taken as a tribute to the effective ness of the bombardment of enemy air fields and the reluctance of the Japanese fleet to risk an engage ment.
 Details of the invasion are still awaited in Washington, he told a press conference, but 1t is known that the operations are proceeding satisfactorily. 0Auoarinnp %ornn. n~o s~n..I:-. heavy resistance, but casualties thus far have been moderate" he said. "The fighting is continuing. Our troops are making excellent progress.
 Preliminary reports show fine coordination between land, sea and air forces, an outstanding char acteristic of our amphibious opera tions.'
 Patterson said the position of American marines on Rio and Namur Isles now appears secure, while soldiers of the 7th Army divi- sion are proceeding with the occupa- tion of Kwajalein.
 Occupation of the Marshalls will widen the crack in Japars outer defense ring" he said. When com- pleted 1t will shorten the line of supply and communication with the South and Southwest Pacific and make possible for us to deploy our forces so they can attack the inner defenses in enemy territory.
 "The crack in the outer defense wall may become break through which we can advance to the Phil lippineS or Tokyo"

A. Yes. When he stops work
ing his old age insurance will be
resumed. But. in order to get
those payments again, he must
notify the nearest Social Secur-
ity office, when he stops work
ing.
@. Is the size of a person.
old age insurance increased If
he goes back to work after he
has once started receiving bene-
fits?
A. No. Under the law, the
amount of a workers benefits
can not be recalculated because
Of additional wages earned and
additional Social Security taxes
paid after he has once started
receiving payments.
Q. Do the men and women in
the armed services get credit
for the time spent and the mon
ey earned while they are in the
service.
A. Military service is not in
cluded in covered" employ
ment. Congress has so far done
nothing for military personnel
on this point.
Old age insurance benefits
are not to be confused with aid
given needy people over 65.
They are not the same.
The worker in covered en-
ployment has paid out of his
regular earnings toward the in
surance he gets when he retires
at IS. His employer had to pay
an amount equal to the workers
share. This money is handled
by the federal government and
is entirely a federal project.
But the aid given needy Old
people is money which comes
from the federal and state gov
ernments combined and is hand
led by the individual states.
There are many problems con-
neeted with Social Security not
even touched upon here: Such
as the insurance paid to the sur
vivors of a worker who has died
after building up insurance
credits.
People who have questions or
problems about Social Security
communicate with their
nearest Social Security office.
