Committee Hedrs
Of Child Neglect
Only One OF Ten Being
Reached BY Program

Only one out of every 10 handi-
capped children in the United States
is being reached by present programs
for treating and educating them.
That shocking statement was made
by Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, head
of the Children's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor, in testimony be-
fore the Kelley subcommittee of the
House Committee on Labor.
Headed by Congressman Augustine
B. Kelley of Pennsylvania, the COM
mittee is now winding up the investi-
cation it started last August to de-
termine what should be done to help
the millions of afflicted adults and
children in the United States.
Miss Lenroot contended that lack
of funds and trained personnel, and
in some cases eligibility tests" i'm
posed by the states, prevent the
service being extended to all of the
children needing them.

Modifies Rulinq
On Vacations
Order SdYs Gross Or

The Fifth Regional War Labor
Board at Cleveland recently handed
down ruling making it optional that
member companies of the United
States Potters Association may com.
pute employees vacation pay for the
periods ending June 1, 1943, and
June /, 1914, on the basis of either
gross earnings or straight time earn
ings.
The order modified a ruling of Nov
10, when the board approved vaca-
ton pay agreement worked out by the
United States Potters Association
and the National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters, in which the pay
was to be computed at per cent of
total annual earnings exclusive of
overtime premium and night shift
bonus.
The order included an understand
ing that the manufacturers option of
computing the payments on gross or
straight-time earnings will not apply
to any other vacation period.

"Cig" Shortage
Is Set For Probe
Manufacturers Offer
All Kinds Of Alibis

The cigarette shortage is going to
be investigated by the Senate War
Investigating Committee, headed by
Senator James M. Mead (Dem., N.
Y0s
Agents of the committee are doing
some preliminary spade work, to de-
termine whether a "full dress probe
is warranted.
Cigarette manufacturers offer all
sorts of explanations for the short
age. At first they tried to pin re-
sponsibility on an administration
policy that has restricted tobacco pro-
duction. The War Food Administra-
tion showed that the farmers them
selves had voted for the restriction
to avert bankruptcy, that harvests
during the last two years have been
ample, and that stocks now on hand
are adequate for II months.
The final alibi of manufacturers
was that consumption has so greatly
increased that it is impossible to keep
up with it.
That was also shattered when the
Treasury revealed that production
for civilians is virtually at last years
level, and that the slight difference
in output would not account for bare
shelves in stores throughout the coun-
try.
The Senate committee is looking
into an angle that has not been given
much attention by the newspapers.

Doing Something
About Pedce Jobs
Lid On Pedrl Hurbor;
Tox Freeze Approved

Nearly everybody is talking about
the necessity of taking steps to create
postwar employment, but Congress
seems to be really doing something
| about it.
The Senate finally approved flood
control bill that calls for an outlay
of billion dollars, and it is esti-
mated that between Is and IS per
cent of every dollar will be spent for
labor.
The measure now goes to confer
ence to iron out number of differ
ences. The Senate wrote in provisions
giving consumers the benefit Of cheap
power that may be developed. Under
the House measure the power would
have been turned over to private util-
tiles, virtually at their own price.
Rivers And HarbOrs Bill
The Senate is now considering a
rivers and harbors bill, which carries
another billion-dollar authorization.
I Meanwhile, the House gave its ap-
proval to the $1,600.C00,000 Federal
highway program. The a1fioney is to
be spent during the first three. years
following peace, with Uncle Sam
putting up $500,000,000.
The measure contains a number of
unusual features, largely the handi
work of Senator Carl Hayden (Dem.,
Ariz.), who heads Senate committee
that drafted the bill after months of
consideration.
Acceptance of the legislation in
substantially the form submitted by
the committee was a tribute to the
confidence the Senate places in
Arizona's senior Senator, one of the
Understanding members of the
upper chamber.

Workers MdY Get
Higher Benefits
Reculculate Payments Tc
Once-Retired Workers

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - The
Social Security Board has announced
that upon request it will recalculate
the amount of old-age and survivors
insurance benefits payable to once
retired workers who have returned
to work, and include credit for wages
received since the benefits first were
claimed. In some cases this may re-
suit in higher benefits than were
originally payable.
The board announcement empha-
sized that such increases would result
only for workers who are 65 or older
and who have once claimed benefits
and subsequently have earned wages
in Jobs covered by the Social Security
Act.
If higher pay has boosted the aver
age monthly wage in covered employ
ment above what it was when these
workers originally retired, they can
have their benefits refgured when
they retire again.
Generally the worker will gain no
advantage by filing claim to peg
his benefit as long as he continues to
work at pay equal to or above his
average during the last years (since
the Social Security Act became effec-
tive). The advantageous time will be
when the workers pay starts going
down because of illness, loss of time
from the job, loss of job, a direct
pay cut, or for any other reason.
Whenever that happens, the board
advises, the worker should consult its
nearest office.

There Is a building falling down
