ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 9.-The
presidents of So Naval Reserve Offi-
GERS training course universities, to-
gether with officers of the American
Council of Education, win attend
Educators day at the Naval Acad-
emy today.
The educators viii be invited to
view Naval Academy educational

address by Vice Admiral Marc A.
Mitscher, deputy chief of naval op-

Task Force SO.
The plane, as yet unnamed, will
be on display during the week-long

constructed for the Navy by the
Glenn L. Martin Co.
With the passage of time" Ad-
miral Mitscher declared, there will
undoubtedly appear weapons to
challenge the carrier, but remember
this-we have proven the efficacy of
carrier air power and until such a
time as other weapons are proven
to be superior we should not neg
lect the power that is carrier su-
premacy."
He told the midshipmen that
"carrier-based al power proved be-
yond the shadow of doubt that air
power and sea power are one and
the same thing"

Social Security Benefits Give
Widowed Mothers Greatest Aid

That the worker did not leave q
widow or minor child; d. That he
Cor sne) was wholly dependen5 upon
and supported by the worker at the
time of death-that is, hac no other
income or only inconsequential in
come.
Both May Get Benefits.
One or both parents can get bene-
fits. To qualify, proof of dependency
on the worker Qtem ID must be filed
within two years after the worker
died. Dependency upon the worker
I is presumed by the board if three
fourths of the parents income came
from the worker who contributed
regularly during the year before
death and if the parent does not
own over $1,000 worth of property,
not counting personal belongings
and home. Benefits begin as each
parent reaches IS. just as in the
case of other benefits, monthly earn
ings of SIS or more halt payments.
incidentally, this is the only benefit
for which dependency on the worker
must be proved positively.
3. Fathers.
These benefits are payable on be-
half of minor child to a father
Cor mother) who is receiving his own
payments at age 65. These benefits
are delivered each month as long as
the child is under IL. Again, no
payments are made for months in
which the child earns SIS or more.
The benefit which the 65-year-old
worker receives for himself, however,
is not affected when the child works,
turns 18, marries or stops school.
Getting Insured.
Generally speaking, the worker is
insured" if he was paid, for jobs
covered by the law $50 or more in
half the calendar quarters (three-
month periods beginning each Janu-
ary, April. July and October) be-
tween 1887 COR age 81, if later and
the quarter in which he reaches
IS or dies. But he must have at
least six such quarters. For ex-
ample, If you worked in every quar-
ter from January l, 1887, to De-
cember 81, 1888, a total of eight
quarters, and then became too Ill
to continue or went into farming
type of work which is not yeti
credited under the act, you would
be insured" through March 81,
1941. This would be insurance for
period as long as you worked,
plus an additional Tgrace" or free
quarter. Once you. get 40 quarters
you are insured for life. Since the
law began to operate January 1,
1887, no one can become fully in
sured until the last quarter of 1916
or 40 quarters from that date.
Young mothers benefits, however
are granted even if the worker had
only six such quarters during the
II just before he died Benefits
to orphans are also granted on
this basis.
You can find out how much is
credited to your account by writing
to the Social Security Board

ings and give your account number

Truman Fears Return
I0f Agencies Now u"
Would Be eMistake

= President, Truman believes that
it would be mistake for any of the
40 Federal agencies and sections of
agencies which were removed from
Washington during the war on ac-
count of the housing shortage to
attempt to return before six months
or year. Harold D. Smith, budget
director, announced today.
Mr.. Smith has written letters to
the heads of the agencies involved
asking them to submit estimates of
their postwar space requirements
for consideration by the Commis-
sioner of Public Buildings, who will
allocate Government housing.
There is no question as to the
need of central planning" Mr.
Smith wrote the agency heads,
and control of space assignments for
the next IL months. During the
first postwar year we can expect
numerous changes in the space re-
quirements of the Federal agencies
now located in the District of Co.
lumbia.
Most of the temporary war agen-
cies will be liquidating their affairs
within the year. The military serv-
ices are planning to reduce their
commissioned and civilian personnel
as rapidly as demobilization require
ments permit. On the other hand,
the Office Of War Mobilization and
Reconversion, the Surplus Property
Board, the Veterans Administration
and several of he-departments will
continue to expand.
Departments and agencies which,
during the war, surrendered choice
space in permanent buildings to
the use of war agencies and occupied
temporary quarters both in and out
side the District of Columbia have
a right to expect an early and salts
factory adjustment of their housing
problems.

Mondays Checks 10 Give
Teachers More Salary

An estimated $500 school teach
ers will receive their pay checks
next Monday, the first after the
summers vacation.
Hereafter, District Auditor Arthur
R. Pilkerton said, pay days would
be on the 18th of the month, but
that delay had occurred this time
because of the numerous changes
in the recent Teachers Pay Act.
Next MONDAYS checks will reflect
the increased pay, Mr.. Pilkerton
said. He said the new act had re-
quired vast amount" of research
and tahulating to put teachers in
their correct status. Similar diff
culties with pay legislation had been
experienced in making out the rolls
for other departments.
Mr.. Pilkerton said that his Office
would draft q schedule OF pay days
for all the custodians, clerks and
others not included with the

II. Qualifying Conditions.
About Parents,

About Parents.
AS the old-age and survivor pro-
visions of the Federal Social Sc
curity Act now stand, protection
through benefits is extended to
wives, widows, minor children and
parents of wage earners. And, as
might reasonably be expected, the
young widowed mother gets the
highest set of benefits and gets paid
as soon as her income stops.
1t may be said that cash benefits
are paid to three types of parents:
/. Young widowed mothers
with children.
2. Aged parents.
3. Fathers Cor mothers) aged
IS with young children.
The first two kinds of benefits are
awarded after the worker dies. The
third benefit, which Is least signifi-
cant, since there are relatively few
individuals of IS with children un-
der 18, may be paid while the worker
is still alive. 1t is, in fact, a pay
ment for the children, granted
whether or not the father is living.
However, since it may enable an
aged father to retire without de-
pfiving his children of support, and
thus tighten some of his obligations,
1t is also a parents benefit.
Perhaps the easiest way to de-
scribe who may get the benefits
which the act allows is to outline
the major conditions for each. 1t
must be remembered of course, that
the final decision can be made only
by the Social Security Board which
accepts the claims for benefits.
Qualifying for Benefits.
These are the parents who may
get payments
l. Young widowed mothers.
To obtain benefits, the widow must
show: a. That her husband died
after December 81, 1889, and that he
was insured" when he died; b. That
she has not remarked; C. That she
was living with her. husband when
he died-that is, was in the same
household or was being supported by
him; d. That she has in her care her
husbands child, under age 18 and
unmarried.
Most of these facts are established
by the. board from its own records.
The mother gets checks each
month for herself and for the
child, so long as she does not re-
marry, until the child narries or
reaches 18. Payments, however. are
not made for any month in which
she earns SIS or more at a job in
commerce or industry. If her child
goes to work or fails to go to school
between age 16 and Is. benefits for
the child stop, but mothers benefits
continue.
2. Aged parents.
To obtain benefits, an aged father
Cor mother) must show: a. That the
worker died after December 81, 1899,
and was insured" at death; %. That
he (or she) has not remarked; c.l

War Housing
Reuse Is Aim
Of Exposition
Agency TO Open
20-Acre Display
At Silver Spring
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

The Federal Public Housing Au-
thirty will open a 20-acre exposi-
ton near Silver Spring, Md, in De-
cember to show how 275 200 tempo
rary war housing units throughout
the United States can be refused
profitably after they become sur
plus.
The exposition is designed as a
"show case" of war housing refuses
for all major types Of temporary
housing provided by the Govern
ment at cost of $760 100000. 1t
also will show dozens of different
types of structures into which the
housing can be transformed by saw
ing il into panels.
Through sale Of the structure for
reuse, FPHA hopes to save at least
the S50,O00o00 to s6o,000,00o esti-
mated as the cost to the Govern
ment of demolishing and clearing
them away, Philip M. Klutznick,
FPHA commissioner, said at a press
conference yesterday.
To Show Panel Method.
The vast exhibition already has
been started on the site at New
Hampshire avenue and University
lane, about 2 miles beyond the Dis
trict line. When completed it will
duplicate a typical temporary war
community and show prospective
buyers how the panel method" will
permit conversion of the structures,
Mr.. Klutznick said.
So far only 300 units of tempo
rary housing have become surplus in
different parts of the country, he
added, and bids will be sought for
these within about 80 days. "A small
additional amount will become sur
plus by the end of the year. Re-
moval of all temporary dwellings
will be spaced out over the next
two years, he explained.
Converted buildings to be shown
at the exposition here will include
various types of farm buildings,
recreational buildings and cottages,
barracks, garages, tourist cabins,
mess halls, small schools and
and a wide range of util-
ity buildings, Mr.. Klutznick ex-
planned, in addition to the type of
housing needed abroad for refuge
families.
There are 1892 temporary dwell
ing units in the District, the FPHA
pointed out. which must be declared
surplus and removed within two
years after the emergency, except
that under certain circumstances,
including need for them by dis
tressed veterans or war workers,
they may be continued In use for
a longer period. ',17
Z a. .s Profit In Sight. 7s
Mr.. Klutznick - explained the
agency feared at first 1t would have
to spend between $4,000 600 and
s609eo, 900 to have buildings demol-
ished and sites cleared.
He pointed out. however, that
by substituting the sale plan to
permit reuse of the structures he
hoped the Government would be
able to make a profit.
Spending money to win a war is
one thing" he said. Spending to
pay for tearing down houses after
the war is over is like paying in
stallments on suit of clothes after
you've worn it out"
The temporary housing which
will be declared surplus throughout
the Nation consists of $4,000 dormi-
tory units and 100000 family dwell
ing units, excluding 5000 Units OF
brick-type construction which FPHA
said do not lend themselves to con-
version for other uses.
