The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1945-04-20

In general if you work for any man
ufacturing firm or corporation, you
come under the Social Security Act
with your government and you have
or should nave, a social security ac-
count number card. This is issued to
you under the Federal old-age and
survivors insurance system estab-
lished by the Social Security Act.
Some day, if you go on working on
jobs covered by this act and have
enough wage credits, you will have
built up insurance rights which will
bring you something to live on
throughout your old age.
Have you figured out what this
may mean to you? And to your wife?
For example, suppose you are getting
along in years In January 1915, shall
we say, you was be IS years old and
want to quit work fer good What
would your social security benefits
come to?
The amount of the benefits would
depend on the pay you have been
getting y your average monthly pay,
figured over the years since the old
age and survivors insurance system
was started, January /, 1887. For
round figure let us suppose you have
been paid an average of $3.50 month.
If your social security account
shows an average monthly pay
amounting to $3.50, and you have been
working since January 1, 1887, your
monthly retirement payment, figured
by the rule which is given in the law,
comes to $32.40. Your wife, If she is
IS when you retire, or whenever she
is SIS, would get half as much as you
would get, and the two of you would
have $4S.60.
This sum might not cover all the
costs of food, clothing and shelter
each month but it will go quite ways
in helping to meet these expenses.
At IS you probably have IL years
ahead of you. Your retirement insur-
ance will come in all that time unless
you go back to work on job which
is covered by the Social Security Act
and which pays SIS a month or more.
(You can make up to $1499 a month
on a covered job and you can earn
any amount on a job which is not
covered, and still get your retirement
benefits.) In other words, the insur-
ance you receive will amount in all,
to $4,66560 and your wife if she is
your age, will receive $2,332.S0 if you
both live out your 'life expectancy"
as the insurance man would say. That
is total of $6,99S.4O from your So
cial security account.
If your wife outlives you, she will
get $2430 a month, which is three
fourths of the amount of your monthly
benefit, after your death.
For all this you would have paid
in social security taxes $144.00 over
the eight years, and your employers
would have paid the samoa total of
$28S.O0 in premiums to buy for you
and your wife old-age insurance worth
more than 30 times that amount.
1t is important to remember, how
ever, that your benefits will not be |
paid until you claim them. To file a
claim for benefits it is necessary to
get in touch with the nearest Social
Security board field office.

Error in School Bill
May Lose Vacation
For Attendance Unit

Congress meant to give the 20
school attendance officers a sum-
mer vacation this year, similar to
the one the teachers enjoy, but
unless special action is taken this
week, the attendance officers won't
get 1t.
The haste with which the District
teachers pay bill was rushed
through the Senate and House
Thursday resulted in an error in
printing of the measure, 1t was re-
ported yesterday.
At the urgent request of school
officials, the Senate had made a
last-minute change in the measure
to strike out half sentence in the
last section of the bill. That half
sentence provided that the attend
ance officers should go on a 10
month pay basis the same as the
teachers, effective July /, 1916.
Provision was made for the rest

I,of the bill to be effective July l.,
1s45. BY striking out that half sem
tence, the 10-month pay basis for
the attendance officers-and the
two-month summer vacation
would have gone into effect imme-
diately.
The House followed the Senate
in making the change. AS closely
as reporters could check, however,
1t seemed certain that the enrolled
bill. as signed by Speaker Rayburn
for the House and by Presiding
Officer Mcclellan for the Senate,
did not strike out the 1916 date.
Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee commented that
the difficulty was only minor one.
since 1t could easily be corrected
in a few minutes, early this week,
by a resolution.
1t seemed uncertain as to whether
the enrolled bill already was on
its way, by airplane, to the Presi-
dent in Europe, and whether 1t
would be recommended that he
sign the bill as received, subject
to a correction by subsequent legis-
lation, or to await receipt Of cor

reasonably secure future, President
Benes said in an exclusive inter-
view.
Czechoslovakia, he added. is de-
termined never again to try un-
workable compromises with German
ninorities as it did in 1899, when
the Germans showed their allie
glance lay across the border.
Russia from the start was SYM
pathetic toward the transfer plan
Approval of the western powers was
regarded as equally necessary be-
cause their occupation forces within
Germany would be obliged to make
room for Germans moved in great
masses back to the Reich.
Three Points to Plan.
President Benes said there were
three essential points to the plan
which amounts to proposal for 9
major population shift in Central
Europe. They are, first, that it be
accomplished with Big Three under.
standing and approval; second, thai
it be we'll organized and carried out
with the least possible friction;
third, that the whole program be
conducted as humanely as possible
President Benes said he wanted
no repetition of the wartime refugee
spectacle, with suffering thousands
cluttering the highways.

weeks" President Benes said, "but
of course, preparations within Ger
many, such as finding room and
providing food, might take longer
It's been estimated the whole enter
prise might take a year and a half >
Among Czechoslovaks from the
president down, there is an over
whelming conviction this form of
settlement of the minority question
is Czechoslovakia' only real prom
Use of lasting internal tranquility
There is the utmost determination
the program must be carried out
and confidence that Big Three ap-
proval will be obtained.
No Vacuums to Result.
President Benes declared the re-
moval of approximately 100000 of
the country's population would leave
no vacuums.
THE border regions in which the
Germans are situated are over-pop-
ulated and over-industrialized," he
said. 1.-THE population actually is
denser than any spot in all Europe
except Belgium.
Draining off will actually i'm
prove the local situation. It won't
be necessary to try to farm noun
famous regions, which can be given
over to forests. The cities will feel
the population loss to some degree,
but in urban regions We can replace
the population with Czechs who are
eager to move from the interior of
the country, and others who have
come home from the Balkans,
Austria and other lands
Not all persons of German origin
would be obliged to leave Czecho-
slovakia. President Benes esti-
mated 100000 to 100000 Germans
had demonstrated their loyalty to
Czechoslovakia. They may stay.
The situation respecting the Hun
garians is somewhat different in
that there would be little problem in
finding room. The two countries
could exchange approximately equal
groups of persons. About 100000
Slovaks live in Hungary and they
would be welcomed in Czecho-
slovakia to replace Hungarians.
