self plus $15.75 for the child, or
a total OF $47.25. II he had a wife
or another minor child, the total
would be increased accordingly,
within limits. AS the program grows,
so will the benefits. Although to-
day no one can have more than
nine years of covered work, be-
cause earnings were first credited
In 1887, within year full insurance
will be possible for many millions
OF workers and benefits are ex-
pected to be increased generally.
Yet, the sums are not large
possibly not even adequate for the
role they are intended to serve
but they are paid as insurance.
They are awarded without strings
attached and without threat of
withdrawal. If they do not provide
"a living, they may ease living for
parents who have lest an opportu-
nifty to earn one.
More Benefits, Higher Benefits.
Almost since passage OF the So
cial Security Act in 1885, bills have
been submitted to Congress to i'm
prove the system. The amend
ments Of 1889 introduced the family.
Today, Congress is considering the
so-called Wagner -Murray-D -Dingell
bill (S.l050 and H.R.3293) which
would add benefits for extended
disability and temporary illness, in
cluding incapacity on account of
maternity. Perhaps, most important.
IT would offer prepaid personal
health service insurance. The pro-
posed system would close practically
all the gaps in the present scheme
OF protection by affording benefits
for most Of the contingencies which
may cause loss of earnings.
Amounts to be paid to workers
and their families would be greatly
increased by changing the method
Of computing benefits and the def
milton of average monthly wage"
Maximum payments would rise from
$85 month to $120 and minimum
payments from $40 to $40. Women
would get benefits at age so instead
OF IS and-in Difference to the
modern family certain benefits
would go to widowers. Also aged
mothers of so and fathers at 65
would be entitled to payments if
chiefly supported by" wage earners,
thus relaxing today's strict condi-
tions.
About 100000 persons not now
under the insurance program, such
as small businessmen, agricultural
and domestic workers and Govern
ment employees, would be covered or
invited to enter. This expansion
would not only enlarge the field of
security to many who deserve it but
would permit those not covered to
move to other jobs without loss of
insurance credit.
What to Do.
You may be entitled to Govern
ment insurance. You may be able
to qualify now or later on the basis
OF your own credits or those of some
one to whom You are related or
upon whom you are dependent. Find
out what your rights are at the
Social Security office nearest your
home. 1t is wise to go soon because
benefits are not paid automatically.
They can begin only when a claim
is filed. Board Offices are listed in
any telephone directory or at the
local post Office.

|. Arrive on Scene
After Attack on
Oil Truck. Driver

Arlington County police stood by
at the struck American Oil Co. plant
at Rosslyn, Va, today as pickets
carrying placards calling for So
hours pay for 40 hours work paced
in front of the plant which has been
out of operation for more than a
week.
Pickets were called out late yester-
day after representatives of local
403, Oil Workers International
Union, and officials of the company
failed to reach an agreement in a
two-hour session with Labor Depart
ment Conciliator r. w. Goodrich.
Police appeared on the scene last
night following brief flareup when
some Is men swarmed over a truck
being brought to the plant by E. B.
Bruce, operator of filling station
at Fifteenth and D streets S. e. Police
said Mr.. Bruce suffered bruised
nose and scratches on the neck.
There were no other casualties
and order was quickly restored.
Pickets Jostle Other Operators.
Four men, two of them identified
as filling station proprietors, were
mildly jostled by pickets on entering
the plant this morning, but they
were safely escorted inside by police
Between 80 and 40 men crowded
about the plant this morning, taking
turns in the picket line while others
went of to breakfast. The first men
arrived on the scene at am.
Inside the plant, some 80 trucks,
many of them filled with gasoline,
remained idle in a parking area.
No attempt was made by the COM
pany to move the vehicles.
Official Charges Exclusion.
T. ]. Mccarthy, president of the
CIO local, asserted yesterday that
the IS employees of the plant had
agreed Monday to return to work
yesterday pending settlement of the
dispute, but that the men were re-
fused entrance by the company.
The union leader told a reporter
on the scene that pickets would stay
on the job until hell freezes over"
Company officials have declined
comment on the controversy, but Mr..
Mccarthy said the company had
refused the men entrance until after
a new contract was negotiated and
signed. ..-

Prince Georges
Board 10 Probe
Hospital Charge
Commissioners Soy
Denial of Core Moy Be
Due to Stuff Shortage

The Prince Georges County Com
missioners today prepared to in
vestigate complaints by Wilmer
Tfppett, chief of the Bladensburg
Rescue Squad, and w. r. Beatty,
president of the County Rescue
Squad, Inc, that the Prince Georges
General Hospital has refused
emergency treatment to persons
brought to it by the Bladensburg
group.
Although promising to investigate
each case cited by the two men, the
commissioners, at their meeting
yesterday in Upper Marlboro, de-
clared the hospital probably failed
to provide emergency treatment
either because the physicians and
nurses were busy with other pa
tients or because the institution
was understaffed.
Asserting that the hospital ranks
as one OF the finest in the WASH
lngton area, Board Chairman Will
liam A. Carson said he was positive
the hospital never "willfuIly" re-
fused emergency treatment to any
one.
Other Refusals Mentioned.
After ALL" MIR. Carson said.
"other hospitals in and around
Washington have refused such
treatment for various reasons and
I don't see why you should pick on
the Prince Georges Hospital"
He said steps are being taken to
alleviate a shortage of nurses at
the hospital and that plans are
under way to build a separate ward
Tor contagious disease cases.
Pointing out that the Bladens-
burg Rescue Squad operates on a
purely volunteer basis. Mr.. Beatty
and Mr.. Tippett said they vera
glad" to furnish ambulance serv.
Ice for the hospital, but we think
emergency treatment should be
available when we take persons
there"
Mr.. Beatty, who said his organ
lzatlon represents the seven rescue
squads in the county, claimed that
all were affected by the alleged
failure of the hospital to provide
emergency treatment.
Rezoning Pleas Decided.
The commissioners also approved
four applications for the rezonins
of residential property to CONNER
clai. denied one and granted a
petition for the reclassification Of
residential A property to resi-
Dental c to allow apartment house
construction. The commercial re-
zoning petitions approved were
filed by the following persons:
William Mangum, owner of prop-
erty at 5409 Annapolis road,
Bladensburg; William F.. Kerr and
the Davis Realty Co., owners of two
lots in Sheppard's Second Addition
to Hyattsville, and Mrs. Savannah
johnson, owner of two lots in Dean

III. Present and Future Benefits.

ifIs TTSSSHt una FuIufe beneVLS.
Wages and Benefit Payments.
All benefit amounts today are
figured on wages paid by an en-
ployer to a worker in industry OF
business and upon the number OF
years OF work. Except for farming
domestic service, Government and
charitable employment, most other
work is covered and therefore cred
tied toward benefits. Taxes, now
equal to / cent on the dollar, are
deducted from wages paid for COW
cred jobs. The employer matches
this employe tax. The monthly ben
eft payment is a percentage of the
average monthly wage" plus a
credit for each year in which at least
5000 is earned.
The average monthly wage from
which benefits are calculated is
found by dividing all wages UP to
$4,000 q year paid from January /,
1887, until age IS or death, by the
number of months in that period
except for those in quarters before
age % in which less than $50 was
earned. All other months are
counted, even though no wages were
earned.
Payments to individual family
members are a set fraction of the
monthly benefit due the worker
himself. The child Of either living
or deceased worker receives an
amount equal to half the workers
benefit. The payment to an aged
mother or father is also half the
workers benefit amount. A widow,
beginning at IS, and a mother re-
gardless of age, however, get three
fourtfls the husbands benefit. Since
the mother also gets benefits for a
youngster, the small family would
get one-fourth more than the worker
himself might have obtained.
$S5 Is the Limit.
For example, if Sam Smith would
have received $40, his widow would
get $50 and his child $40, or family
benefit of $50. For two children
the monthly payment would rise to
$40, even though Sans earnings had
been exactly the same. If there
were more than two children the
family would get only a total of
s85 since, under the law, no family
may get more than twice the bread
winners benefit or 80 per cent of
his average monthly wage or $85,
whichever is least.
The following table illustrates the
benefits payable based on selected
amounts OF earnings and years of
work covered by the act.
