Neuus or Connecticut

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 10-(UP)- State War Administration Henry B. MoSle, declaring the hay shortage at critical stage, appealed today to the war food administration for relief.
 "The time has come when it is necessary for us to ask you people down there what, if anything, you are going to do to relieve the Situa- tion," he wrote D. A. Fitzgerald, deputy production director of the WFA. What is needed, very sim ply, is some assurance of adequate supplies of hay and the transpor- tation necessary to move 1t into Connecticut in the near future, and finally at a price consistent with the price paid farmers for milk. For your information, the situation has now become sufficiently critical so that it has become matter of general concern"
 The shortage was caused by last summers drought.

Churchill
 Plays Plan
OId-Age And Survivors
 TnSuranNA
BY PHIL ATJIT

London, Feb. 10-(UP)-Diploma- tic sources said today that Prime Minister Churchill sharply sprned overtures by Gen. Francisco Franco obliquely proposing close alliance between their two countries.
 Churchill bluntly told Franco that Spain was not likely to have a part in the peace conference, and still less likely to be in invited into the proposed league of postwar Secur- 1ty, informants reported.
 A recent exchange of correspon- dence between Churchill and Fran co still was listed officially as in the secret" category, but a diplo- matic informant said Churchill's end of it constituted shock" to the Franco regime.
 Churchill was said to have re- sponded to Franco's oblique Sugges- tion for close Anglo-Spanish all liance with a recapitulation of the Franco governments anti-Allied and pro-AXis activity.
 Whether Franco proposed an al- IldllCC WlIIl DTlIdlIl dBdlIlSJ fCuSSld was not clear. The informant said Franco wrote between the lines limiting at an alliance ito meet the dangers of Bolshevism," but Shun- ned any fortnight proposal on that score.
 An informed source disclaimed a rum that Franco offered to me- diate between the Allies and the Axis.
 Franco was said to have used Churchill's friendly reference to Spain in a speech last year as an occasion for expressing his gratitude and hope for closer relations in the future.
 The Spanish ambassador, the Duke of Alba, called on Churchill in November to deliver a note from Franco, the informant said. Franco urged clarification of relations be- tween their countries and paid trib- ute to Churchills ''masterful and martial" qualities.

It offers swim mig and other outdoor pastimeS in addition to canteen services.
 The centers are open daily from g a. m. to midnight. There are $500 volunteer workers, including 5000 girls who chat, sing and dance with the visitors.

Features Of Your Social
 Security Act

0 ANOSC AAAAO - SAAS second Of . series of II articles on
 Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
 and related programs. These ar- ticleS will appear in this news paper as space becomes available If you wish further information
 about any of the subjects dis cuSsed, you are invited to contact the nearest Social Security Board office or the other agencies mem tiOned.)
 OId-Age And Survivors
 Insurance
 If you are employed in C store, garage, foundry, sawmill, or other commercial establishment, old-age and survivors insurance means to you just what the name implies - insurance against death and old age.
 The plan provides that the wage earner and his employer contribute equally to this system. Contribu- tions are paid through the employer, who makes a quarterly Soci. Secur- ity tax return to the U. s. Collector of Internal Revenue. At the present time the employe is paying one per cent of his earnings and his em- ployer is paying the same amount.
 The quarterly tax report made by your employer includes your name. your Social Security account num- Der, and the amount of your earn ings. Based upon these reports, the Social Security Board sets up an in- dividual account for you; to this account are credited all wage amounts reported by your employer Even though you may work for ten different firms during the quarter every dollar goes to the same &C., count and is recorded under your name and number. Upon this record is based the payments to which you and your family may be entitled after you reach the age of 65 and retire. It is also the basis of pay ments to your family in case of your death.
 These taxes have been collected since January l, 1887, from workers in commerce and industry. They apply to Employers of One or More, with certain types of work excluded The tax is not collected on the earn- ings of farm employees, government employees, domestic servants in pri- vate homes, and certain other groups. Persons doing only these types of work thus have no credits under the system at the present time. The Social Security Board has recommended that the law be amended to include these groups.
 Later articles of this series will tell you more about the amount of insurance which you have under the Social Security Act and the types of payments which may be made. Old age and Survivors Insurance is the only part of the Social Security Program that is handled directly by the Social Security Board field offices. For this reason most of the remaining articles of this series will deal with your old-age and survivors insurance protection oi'ly.
