 Anyway the kids did enjoy the singing of Susie, who gave out with such classics as Blue tail Fly" Black, Black, Black" Molly Ma lone" and the Golden Vanity" Generally they were an attentive audience but they disclosed one trait found in grownups who have put away few-they wanted to help the entertainer sing.
 Twenty-five-year-old Nora Kaye is having her biggest season as a ballet star right now. She's second only to the famous Markova in the ballet theater troupe at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 Nora is a native of New York and has been dancing for 20 years. During that time she has used these names: Nora Koreff, her true name; Nura Koreff, Nura Kerova, Nura Koreva and, finally, Nora Kaye. She acquired that final designa- tion, by the way, while appearing at the Radio City Music Hall, one of her many way stations on the road to success.

BY JACK GAVER United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 25-(UP)-After a peek at a future nightclubbing generation, truth compels me to re- port that its members took to cafe life like butter to bread. Unfor- tunately can't predict what will happen a few years from now when they are rudely awakened to the fact that such pleasures are no longer on the cuff and that they are expected to consume something stronger than ice cream and cake.
 This particular very much young CT set received its initiation into the strange ways of the cabarets yes- terday afternoon at Cafe Society uptown as guests of Proprietor Barney Josephson. Fifteen kids from three years to seven showed up with their mothers.
 A couple of mothers who are patrons of the place furnished the inspiration for the stunt. They were taken with the folk ballad singing of Susie Reed, herself only IS, who is a feature of the clubs show, and remarked one night that their own children had heard Susie on the radio and liked her. It was a shame, they thought, that the kids couldn't see Susie in person.
 Strangely enough the clubs press agent agreed with them, hence the

 Plans To Back
 Alternate Ideo

Washington, Gee. 25-(UP)-One major veterans organization, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, has written of President Truman's one- year draft plan as doomed to de- feat at the hands of educational and religious pressure groups.
 VFW therefore will continue to plug for an alternate plan under which each young man would serve a three-year hitch in the National Guard or Naval Reserve, getting his training at home.
 This was revealed by VTW spokesrnen today as Omar Ketchum the groups legislative director, called on government disposal agencies to withhold action on surplus camps and other training facilities until Q definite postwar training policy has been agreed on.
 VFW joined the American Legion and the disable American veterans in praising the presidents stand for compulsory peacetime tra ming. However, VFW did not endorse the one-year plan, and Ketchum made 1t plain today that though the or- ganisation will not buck the presi- dent, 1t will continue to support it's own proposal.
 Tn an article In the September annals of the American Academy of political and social science, Ket- chuln noted outspoken opposition to compulsory training by college presidents, the National Education Association, the Association of Am erican Colleges, and the American Council on Education.

million dollars, a rather important error for one who seeks to manage the financial affairs of the city of Waterbury"
 Mayor Monagan quoted a state- ment by Gov. Baldwin to the Leg islative Council to the effect that desired capital Improvements have not been possible during the war because of restrictions on inateri- als, regulations of federal agencies and shortages of lahor.
 In spite of this condition, how ever Waterbury has carried on an extensive renovation program in the public schools, spending over 9260,- 900 in the last three years in neces- sary improvement and moderniza. tion, MT. Monagan said.
 He cited street lighting work, construction of new buildings in the city yards, reseeding and resoddlng of park area in addition to sanitary and storm water sewer, projects in the Chase avenue, and Meriden road sections which he said were among the largest in the history of the city. For these sewer jobs 9238, ,647.76 has been taken from the postwar fund and is now being spent. MT. Monagan stressed.
 T have done everything possible in cooperation with Commissioner Cox to make this highway real ity and he was glad, at a recent meeting at the Kiwanis Club, pulp licly to express his appreciation for the work which the city ad- ministration had done to assist him"
 Lighting Program Resumed
 Further summing up work in the planning stage, he said:
 "The street lighting program, interrupted by the war, has re- stunned with the Board of Works al- ready starting to grant specific re- quests.
 Streets have fallen in to disrepair because of shortages of materials and labor but the program of re- pairing old streets, completing lay- outs and grades and improving i'm porta1t arteries such as Lakewood Road between North Main street and the Bristol Road will be start ed."
 Storm water and sanitary sew CTS in many sections of the city are needed because of peculiar soil conditions and a generous amount of this work will be done. Included in this part of the program will be the Mad River interceptor Sewer which will permit sewering of the eastern part of the city and the construction of a sewage disposal plant.
 Construction of sidewalks has been held up for wartime reasons but beginning next year an annual replacement and construction pro- gram will be carried out.
 A franchise has already been granted to a reputable airline and work will be started on an airport as soon as the necessary land can be acquired.
 Sewage Disposal Ready
 He said that Q contract for the preparation of plans for the sew- age disposal plant was entered into the end of Io43 and these plans are now completed and ready to be used. Plans for the Mad River In- terceptor Sewer are also ready and plans for various smaller projects such as the dog pound, new city yard building, park and playgrounds buildings and other such projects are in existence waiting for the re- lease of materials and labor, he added.
 The mayor said that preliminary work has also been done on school additions, the trade school building and an isolation wing for commun. icable diseases.

and IRVING LADIMER,

After you have satisfied the five-
year rule you are also covered by
very valuable disability insurance
If you become totally physically or
mentally unable to perform the du-
ties Of your Job or a similar job
for any reason other than vicious
habits, intemperance or willful mis-
conduct, you are entitled to a dis
ability annuity at any age whether
you become disabled on or OF the
job. If you are injured as a result
Of your Government work, you may
choose between benefits under the
Retirement Act and the Employees
Compensation Act. 1t should be
noted that you neod not be disabled
for all kinds of work and so, after
obtaining this benefit, you may per-
haps obtain some type Of employ
ment to supplement your income.
The amount of annuity Is based on
whichever of the four formulas dis
cussed in the previous article pro-
vides the highest benefit.
The disability annuity must be
claimed within six months after
separation from service except that
year from restoration to compe-
tency is allowed for mental cases.
Unless you are deemed permanent
ly and totally disabled, you will have
to undergo an annual medical exam
If you are found to be no longer
disabled, the annuity is continued
anyhow for one year unless you get

sons return to service for even a

receive the benefit OF Formula
which WAS introduced In 1942 but
unfortunately was not made retro

Similarly, q return to service is
recommended for older men and

For those who have Is or more

by the use OF either formula : OF

before the 62d birthday would be a
profitable financial venture. Those
who have almost is years Of service
would do well to complete this pe-
riod In the same way. The commits

secutive, may retire at age go OF
thereafter and receive an annuity
based on that one of the four for
mulas which gives the most. Such
employees may also retire as early
as age IS, but they will receive an
annuity which is reduced actuari-
ally so as to spread the total over a
longer period. At IS the reduction
is about one third of the monthly
benefit due at age 90. It is proper
tionately smaller as the age at re-
tirement nears so.
Employees who have over Is years
Of service but less than 80 may re-
tire at any time after age 81. The
monthly benefit is also computed
on the most profitable of the four
formulas.
Employees who have over years
Of service but less than IS may also
retire at any time after age 81, but
the annuity is based only on the
higher of formulas / and 2 Tin most
cases formula will be the one
used. 1t should be noted that those
leaving involuntarily through no
fault Of their own get the benefit of
all four formulas and also can get
an actuarially reduced annuity as
early as age IS rather than wait
until 81. The reduction would be
about 40 per cent for retirement at
SIS and proportionately less for later
retirement.
Choice Of Formula.
For those whose benefits are
computed by the highest of all four
formulas. formula / will be used
chiefly for employees in the lower
wage brackets (say, under 5000 a
MONTH with long periods of con-
tributory service and for those in
the middle range, $200-$300, regard
less Of length Of service. Formula
2 will apply to those in the higher
wage levels (say, over 5000 with
long periods Of service, especially at
the present contribution rate. For
mula will be used mostly for the
lower wage workers in the next few
years regardless of length Of service
and will apply in the future to en-
ployes with short service periods
Formula 4 will be used mainly for
those In the higher wage levels with
short periods of service.
Compulsory Retirement.
The previous discussion has refer
red solely to what you can do about
retiring. Now, can the Government
force you to retire? Yes, If you have
over l5 years Of service, you must
retire at age 10 Cor when you get
l5 years, If later. Also If you have
over 80 years of service and are
over so, or have over Is years of
service and are over 81, your de-
partment can retire you on the
basis OF not being able to perform
your duties satisfactorily. But in
this case you may file an appeal
with the Civil Service Commission
to be allowed to continue on the
job:
