AIRLINEs DAY
Yesterday was "Airlines Day"
on the Aviation Week program,
with Ralph Damon. general man
ager of American AiriineS as the
principal speaker before the
I Rotary Club. Although forced off
a plane himself and making the
trip here by train, Damon was
enthusiastic about Detroit's air
possibilities.

the United States In popula-
ton" he pointed out but II Is
third In fatal pay roll third in
income tax returns, third In air
line passengers and first IN the
value Of manufactured goods eN-
ported annually from the United

Contemplating the potential
air traffic emanating from this
great Industrial center, and the
overwhelming demand sor con-
sumner goods, we have forecast a
possibility OF Detroit becoming
the worlds greatest industrial
center"
CALLS FOR COMPETITION
Damon, who attended the inter-
Gtional Civil Aviation Conference
in Chicago as advisor TO the
American delegation, said the
meeting had advanced interna-
tional civil flying at least 20 years.
He added that il was "A step for
ward toward the time when a

don and breakfast in Detroit.
But 10 do this, Detroit Will
have 20 provide Itself with an
airport suitable 90 such opera

Mayor Jeffries. who followed
Damon on the program, called for
open competition OF all airlnes
for Detroit's business. instead of
limiting as now TO three COM

THE GREATEST LOSS

The Anaconda company is not a
charitable organization. The chain
banks, the railways, the power and
gas utilities, the chain stores, the in
surance companies, the telephone
company, the lumber companies, the
gasoline companies bask in the
warmth of that deceptive press.
1t is more than probable that while
the Anaconda company is the first
disburser of subsidies for this press
(and certain candidates for key state
offices), contributions are levied and
paid by other members of the Bund
for enslavement of such people as re-
main in this corporation ridden state,
and for driving out forever, most of
young men and women who have ini-
tiative and brains and decline TO
spend their lives under a blanket of
corporate corruption.
By the way, to many old residents,
the chief sorrow at corporate rule in
Montana is not the material loss of
our natural resources, filched by legal
means from us. A loss far harder to
bear is the flight of all of our freedom
loving youngsters from this beautiful
state, rich beyond compare in natural
resources. Everywhere our Montana
boys and girls rise right to the top
quickly on their merits. Here such
as remain must conduct their lives in
such fashion as set by our absentee
landlords. Yours truly,

unemployment insurance for members
of the armed forces on termination
of military service. The amount ant
duration of the weekly benefits to be
paid may require further considera
ton We suggest that special unem
ployment compensation on termina
ton of military service should be moi
less than SIS per week, plus Sc fol
each dependent, with maximum OF
$50 per week Such benefits would
provide a decent standard of living
which is the least to which veterans
are entitled during the period after
| the war while they are seeking to re
establish themselves in employment
They should receive these benefits
during the entire period of their un-
employment.
To be fully effective the program
should be linked with grant to the
soldier of a lump sum upon his re-
lease from the army. Such a grant
is needed to meet initial expenditures
involved in re-establishing the soldier
as civilian, while the special unem-
ployment compensation program meets
his ordinary living expenses during
the transition.
Extension of coverage and Increase
in Benefits for Old Age and Survivors
Insurance.
Existing Provisions for Coverage
and Benefits.
By January 1, 1912, approximately
60 million persons in the United
States had social security numbers
and accounts under the Old Age and
Survivors Insurance System of the
Social Security Act. But not all ac-
count number holders have acquired
wage credits under the program.
Many persons have applied for and
received numbers in anticipation of
the receipt of wage credits; many
have left covered employment and
have had long periods of non-covered
employment; and many persons with
wage credits never acquired and do
not possess full protection under the
system. Approximately Al million
workers earned old age and survivors
wage credits in 1941. 1t is estimated
that in 1910 not less than % million,
and possibly as many as So million
persons, or we'll over half of the gain
fully employed population, were ex-
Guided in whole or in part from the
Old Age Survivors Insurance program.
At the close of the fiscal year 1941-
1912, little less than 100000 bene-
ficiaries were receiving payments un-
der the Old Age and Survivors Insur-
ance program. However, only a part
of those reaching IS have insured
status, varying from 44d in Missis-
sippi to 74@o in Connecticut and aver

The Provision of Maternity Benefits
The Need for Maternity Benefits.

Maternity insurance is provided by
the social insurance systems of many
countries. It's function is to provide
continuity of income to mothers inn
mediately before and after childbirth.
The primary social necessity for ma
ternity insurance and its vital func-
ton is that it enables working moth
ers to discontinue work for a reason
able period before and after child
birth without loss of wages. For
housewives, it furnishes means of
meeting additional expenses occa-
stoned by childbirth. 1t is designed
to protect the health of the mother
and the child. 1t is clearly necessary
as social measure and in the in
terest of the national health and well
fare. The present Social Security Act
does not provide maternity benefits.

Gentlemen:
In your most able, Informative anal
ysis of the topheavy debts of the
Anaconda controlled daily press of
Billings and southwestern Montana,
you leave an inference that the entire
subsidizing of these newspapers
comes from the Anaconda company.
Doubtless it does at first hand. Many
observers of the benefits bestowed by
this press on other large absentee
landlords of Montana suppose that
contributions from these members of
a grand alliance must be made to the
Anaconda company to support this
propaganda, designed to conceal the
activities of all of them.

provided for working women who are
covered for temporary disability bene-
fits. The amount of the benefit is
the same as the basic unemployment
insurance benefit.
We approve the principle of the
bill in providing maternity benefits.
The duration of benefits, IL weeks, is
the usual period in the social security
systems of other countries and would
seem to be adequate.
These provisions meet vital need.

ray-Dingell bill, which will be pub

Social Security Protection for Per
sons in Military Service.
The bill proposes social security pro
lection for persons in military service
with respect to (a) coverage for fed
eral old age, survivors, permanent dis
ability, medical and disqualification
and temporary disability benefits, and
OBJ special unemployment insurance
on termination of military service.
(A) coverage During Military Service
for Old Age, Survivors, Disability,
Medical and disqualification
Benefits.
The bill provides that persons in
military service be deemed to have
been paid wages equal to the month
ly average of their wages for two
calendar quarters Immediately prior
to induction into military service after
September g. 1889, or the highest
monthly. pay received in military serv-
ice plus $50 a month in lieu of sub
sistence, whichever is greater (Title
liza, $3.50. The funds necessary to
pay benefits by reason of this cover
age are to be provided from the fed
eral treasury.
These provisions are clearly sound
and are approved. Their effect would
be: first, to continue coverage for
those who were covered before mill
tary service; and second, to extend
coverage to those who had never been
covered before. 1t should be pointed
out that these provisions would give
them protection for a limited period
of time only, since they would lose
coverage if, on returning to civilian
life, they entered or resumed non
covered employment or became unem-
ployed after the eligibility period
The extension of coverage provided
in other sections of the bill is indis-
pensable for the social security pro-
lection of service men, since without
it, many on returning to civilian life
would enter non-covered employment.
Thus, adequate social security protec-
ton for service men requires enact
ment of the other sections of the bill.
(B) Special Unemployment Insurance
on Termination of Military Service
For a period of not more than Is
weeks Zone and one-half years. after
the termination of military service,
every person who had 80 days of mill
tary service and whose service ends
after December 81, 1913, would, if I'M
employed, receive unemployment COM
pensation for not more than 26 weeks
in benefit year (although this may
be increased to So weeks if regular
unemployment insurance benefits are
provided for this longer term. The |
basic benefit is $12 per week plus one
half of the basic benefit for each de-
pendent, or a maximum of $50, so that |
soldier with a wife and one child |
would receive an unemployment insur-
ance benefit of $24 a week.

THE POLL TAX BILL AND
THE NATL. CONVENTIONS

There is no question that one OF
the major political questions facing
the democratic and republican conven-
lions this year will be that win-the-
war measure H.R. 7.
Both conventions will meet in Chi
cago, to adopt platform and to select
presidential and vice presidential can
didates. The democrats meet on July
10, the republicans on July 26.
Formal communications from big
national bodies such as the National
Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax
will undoubtedly be sent to the con-
ventions, uarging inclusion of a plank
for immediate abolition of the poll
tax by legislative action. in the party
platforms.
But it is one of the lessons that
has been learned the hard way by the
labo movement and the people in
general, that real grassroots ex-
preston of mass sentiment must back
up every formal move from the top.
In this case that grass-roots ex-
preston must take the form of pres
sure on the delegates to the conven-
tons, themselves.
Mass action is necessary, and the
way to get it is to start, in every or
ganization, in every community,
movement to communicate the demand
for inclusion of such a plank, to the
individual delegates from each state.
We suggest that you:
l. Get a complete list of delegates
to both republican and democratic
national conventions from your state.
2. Send a communication to each
one of them, or as many as reside in
your community, urging adoption of
a plank favoring legislation to abolish
the poll tax in the platform adopted
by their convention in Chicago.
3. Get in touch with district and
precinct leaders of both parties, and
have them do the same.
4. Use every means to get as many
such communications sent as posi-
Bile. Get in touch with other organi-
cations, ministers, prominent individ-
uals, etc. Get them to send letters to
at least those delegates who live in
their community
