Robert E. Lee, It,, Infantry,
 Rebels Pride

Camp Campbell, Ky, Oct. G. CUP)-Every war seems to have g Robert E. Lee" and World War Il was no exception.
 The 5th Infantry Division here boasts of It. Robert E. Lee, a great. great grandson of the illustrious general, and a "rebel' by choice.
 The 22-year-old lieutenant, a na- tive of California, served two year overseas with the 5th Division all through combat. He confessed that bearing such a glamorous nam: helped him in many ways.
 He said during his basic training at Fort Bragg, N. c. southern offl - cers were extremely kind to him when they learned his name. And a wealthy Frenchman, educated in the U. S., wined and dined Lee at his spacious estate near fingers when he found he was talking to a Robert E. Lee.
 On the other side of the ledger, Lee has taken much kidding be- cause of his name. When he faced the O. c. s. examining board, his first question was, What was the name of Gen. Lees horse?" Lee correctly answered Traveller, {" which he said he learned from his schoolbook history.
 Lee said in World War I his father, Robert E. Lee, stepped on tradition by serving in the Navy.
 He intends to settle in California, but said, That won't make me a Yankee. I consider myself a Rebel"

Section l644-Connecticut Motor Vehicle Laws. Driver to Signal. Each driver of a vehicle, before slackening its speed. stopping or backing, shall indicate by signal his intention to slacken its speed or to stop or to back, and, if he intends to turn or change his direction, or to leave or draw away from & curb or the edge of the highway, he shall indicate by signal such intention and the direction in which he in- tends to proceed.
 "The Motor Vehicle department of the State of Connecticut recom- mends the following code of hand signals. For the giving of all signals in this code extend the arm hori- zontally at full length.
 T. Stop or Slow - Extend hand and arm horizontally and hold rigid. This is a cautionary signal, and is still signal, while the oth- CTS are motions, so that 1t cannot be confused with either of them.
 "2 Turn Left - Pointing motion with index finger. To indicate in- tention to turn to the left. This pointing motion has been found most effective, as 1t shows active mind action.
 "S. Turn Right-Rotate hand for ward wrist to elbow. This signal means T am going to turn right" or You may pass on my left"
 4. BaCking-No backing signal is as present recommended. Backing is 50 unusual an act performed on the highway that each operator carefully observes what Is around him before he backs. We might add that before backing your car a back seat occupant can be of great as- sistance to the operator as they have full view of the area in the rear of the car. If the operator is alone in the car a toot of the horn helps a great deal, especially in the downtown district where pedestri- ans, whose minds are preoccupied with shopping. will step out Into the street without looking or think ing about the dangers involved. A great many drivers are under the impression that the giving of a sig nal by driver is an act of court esy. This is not true as the above statute indicates and the failure to give signals often results in the operators becoming involved in an accident. During stormy weather, especially in the winter when most of us like to keep the windows closed, the police investigation squad finds that many accidents are caused by the failure of the opera tor to give a signal. So give sig nal, the proper one and in plenty of time for the other driver to pre- pare himself for your movement"

Mrs. Morrison" said. 'sWhen your husband died, your baby was not yet born. That means that you were eligible for a lump-surn death benefit Is usually payable when there is no survivor eligible for monthly benefits. The lump sum is six times the wage earn- CTS benefit rate, in your case a little less than $200 probably. You will get that, and also there are your benefits in old age. Pro- vided you don't remarry, you will be eligible for monthly benefits Of around $24 a month when you reach the age of 65. They will be payable till death. I am sorry about just one thing"
 Whats that?" she asked.
 That you didn't come in to file your claim sooner. So far as the lump-sum benefit is concerned, that's all right: survivors have two years to claim thar. But with monthly benefits 1t is different. They are are retroactive for only three months. If you file your claim in the fourth month after the wage earner's death. you lose one months benefits. Your hus- band died little over five months ago. Now you are filing your claim in the sixth month, and you would have been eligible for monthly benefits from the time your baby was born-that's four months so you. are losing one months ben- efits."'
 That's a shame, isn't it?" Mrs. Morrison said. But you know, she continued as we started to fill out the claim papers. T am very thankful to be getting monthly benefits at all. I cant get over the wonder of 1t. My husband never saw our baby, yet he is going to keep on supporting Ben for al- most IS years"

Every day our office is visited by men and women who want tn- formation and advice on their so- tial security accounts-who want to know their stake in the Federal insurance system. Each one is in- teresting but out of the many who come there are always few who stand out above all others. Each week we choose the most interest ing among them to tell you about in this column without, of course, mentioning any real names.
 Early last week young woman came into our office. She had a little baby in her arms that look ed to be no more than four months old, and as 1t happened, my guess proved to be exactly right.
 She came to the point a little hesitantly. T don't know whether it's any use my coming here" she said, but I thought I'd better anyway. My husband was killed in an accident five months ago while was home visiting my mother up in Boston. He was driving and something went wrong with the steering wheel"
 Expected Paid-In Money
 She paused an instant, her face tight-drawn, her fingers fumbling In her purse. T thought maybe" she said, at last producing the so- iial security card she was search Ing for, T could get back what Dick paid in on social security. I've got the baby to think of. Ben is only four months old"
 Tell me about your husbands work history" I said. "It may be that you are eligible for a lot more than he put in, Mrs. Morrison" (This was not. our visitors name, of course)
 She told me her husband had been @ bookkeeper for the same concern all the years she had known him. As far back as 1886, when they first met, he was earn ing $l20 8 month. He had had several raises since then, how ever, and if his salary were aver aged up, she said, it would come to about $l50 Q month.
 well" I said, from what you tell me, there is no question that your husband was fully insured under old-age and survivors in- surance. Now, you have 6 child under IS in your care. That makes you and the baby eligible for monthly benefits until Ben there is IS. cannot tell you exactly what you will get until we have checked on MT. Morrison's social security account in Baltimore, but from what you tell me I believe 1t will be around $40 month";
 "Oh. I hope 1t will be as much as thatv' she exclaimed, her face lighting up, If 1t is. I can get along fine. You see, l am going back to live with my mother. She wants to work and have me stay with my baby and keep house for all of us. Forty dollars Q month of my own will mean so much to mel"
 "Of course" I continued, 'if you marry again, your share of the benefits, which will be $24 or whereabouts, will stop. And If you earn as much as SIS in any month in covered employment-in indus try or business, that is-your benefit will be suspended for that month. But Ben's benefit will con- tinue in any case until he's eighteen"

Your GI Rights QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON sERVIcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 6. - Here are some questions from G1s about their job rights:
 o. Before went into the Ma rines worked summers for a building contractor. I would like to get a permanent job with the same outfit. Is there law which says the company has to take me back?
 A. No. Your job with the con- tractor apparently was only tenn porary, and because of that you aren't given unemployment rigrts.
 c. Before the war started I was employed as an engineer with q company which specialized In man. ufacturlng gadgets for the home. As soon as we couldn't get materials the plant closed and I went to work for Q war plant. A year later was drafted. Obviously the war plant won't need me but I would like my Job back with the first outfit that employed me. Do I have legal re- employment rights in that conn pany?
 A. No. The law says you have to have left the job to go into the service in order to have reemploy- ment rights in that job.
 q. [ have seen Q lot In the newspapers about veteranS' rights to get jobs. I never had job be- fore as was drafted out of high school. Now I want to know, do ! or don't I, as Q vet, have special rights for getting Job when I get out?
 A. Technically, no. But you can get special training for job, which will be paid for by the Govern ment. The United States Employ ment Service has a big program for finding pobs for veterans and most firms are voluntarily giving veter- ans preference for job.
 c. Before the war I worked for Q very small company which made toys. was Q wood worker. Since the war they have switched over to making small parts for autos. When I went back they said they had no more use for wood workers. Do I have Q legal right to my job back?
 A. Probably not, because the status Of your employer has chang ed so that he Is no longer able to use your service. You can take the case to court, however.

Waterbugy's four S6lective Service Boards, org anizedS Shy an act of con- gress on october I6, fDA0y will mark their fifth anniRefsafy. at "a recep- ton at their new q1hEters on Grove street week from Tuesday from I 6:l5 to 6:i0 ks m.
 Approximately i2,OOO waterbury men, who eventually made history oi. the battlefrorlts of Europe and in the Pacific, were inducted by the boards. Twenty volunteer board members met once Q week, and sometimes twice tb fi1l quotas from the city, while eficient personhel staffs listed the quaiifcations of hundreds of men monthly.
 As Hitler swept Hcross the Europe In bloody conquest, during the spring of i940, the, United States, moving to fortify the country by emergency measures, enacted the Selective Service Act requiring the compulsory military service for" one year of every man between the ages of 2i to S5. The first group of inductees to leave Waterbury, short- ly after the establishment of the selective Service Boards, comprised six volunteers. '' ~
 10000 Register
 when the country found itself at war with the Axis on that eventful day of December 8, l94l, an avail anche of work descended upon the local boards, then located in the basement of the City Hall. Over 10000 men appeared before the se- lective Service Boards following the government order that every man between the ages of IS and 45 was required to register with the board. The urgent need of men for military service shot draft figures upward and mounted monthly until a peak was reached in 1043, when around 600 men left the city for training at boot camps.
 tCutting of the age limitation in April, 1914, to 26 years brought an occasional breathing spell to Selec- tive Service workers. And although the number of if1ductees currently leaving the city has been reduced since Surrender Day to around 36, the boards are now busy registering returning servicemen and finding suitable employment for the men who left wellspaying jobs to an- sWer the call to arms.
 Veterans must register, according t0 law, with their local boards within five days of discharge, Ap- ptoximate'y 1900 men who received h6norably discharges from the land ahd naval forces of the United states have reported to the boards dnring the past five years upon their return to civilian life. Tn May of this year, Selective Service members packed their bulg- ing files and moved up to their new quarters ct the corner of Grove street apd Central avenue. s@ Named by President sThe 20 board members, appointed bs President Franklin D. Roose- velt, have all received certificates of service from the President for tncompensated services. The names of proposed appointees were Sub- mitted by late Mayor Vincent Scully to the governor. who in turn subs Tnitted them to the nations chief executive.

This was the spirit with which the 30th fought from the time 1t first clashed with the Nazs. The 30th got to France a little later than some, but once 1t started moving, it made up for lost time. Joining the Allied assault on the 'Nazis in June, 1944, the division crossed the Wire river and headed for St. Lo. By August, the Old Hickory men had advanced to
 Here the division was suddenly nit by five German armored divi- sionS, hoping to push through to the sea at Avranches and thus split the American First and Third Armies. It was in this battle which saw the Germans fail-that the surrounded doughboys gave their classic answer to the Nazi surrender offer.
 After this battle, the 30th crossed the Seine, and by Sep- tember had begun an offensive that carried through to TournSi and Brussels and gave 1t the dis tinction cf being enc of tlse first American divisions to enter Bel- gium and Holland. After cross ing the Albert Canal and the Mouse, capturing the fortress of Eben Emael, the 30th got ready to assault the Siegfried Line.
 The attack began on October 2. By October IS the 30th had made contact with the First Division and the two outfits encircled Aachen. The 30th abandoned its. forward movement only when the Won Rundstedt counteroffensive made 1t necessary for the outfit to swing back and join in that fight.
