The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-11-03

It's going to be a long winter for our boys who have to act as policemen in Europe, but the army's Special Service Division is doing everything it can to make 1t seem as short as possible.
 When We were in the Bavarian Alps few weeks ago, We saw the plans they were making for big winter-sports program centering around -Partenkirchen and other equally unpronounceable towns. Thousands of skis and ice skates have been imported along with hockey equipment, bobsleds, and special pants with pillows built in the back for beginners. Expert army instructors have been assigned to teach. GIs from New Jersey, Alabama, and Idaho, the rudimentS of Scanning, Salaam- ing (whatever that is) and how to make a racing turn without frac- turing more than one collar bone at a time.
 Another interesting program they're working on entails portable bowling alleys which are being sent over from the States so the guys will be in shape for their local leagues when they get back. The alleys fold up in sections so

they can be shipped, but so far they haven't been able to design a collapsible bowling ball. But those combat men won't worry too much about balls. If they don't get a strike the first time. they'll probably start picking the pins off one at a time with a Garand.
 In addition to these larger pro- grams, every unit has it's own Spe- cial service officer who sees to 1t that the fellows are fixed up with ping pong tables, volley ball, base ball, and football equipment and anything else he's able to get hold Of. They also have several tons Of liberated accordions and har- monicas which are distributed to soldiers who are interested in keeping the other guys in their barracks awake nights.
 In the entertainment depart ment. the USO live talent shows are still going full-blast and the CT cinema circuit is distributing both Is and 35 nm. prints as fast as they are released here in the States.

been a great deal more. You didn't build up any insurance rights while in business for your- self. Of course, I can't say for cer- silence for a long ten seconds. Then he said solemnly; Well, if that don't beat all. Here I was trying to get charity which went against my gall, and all the time I had insurance coming to me. I never thought when they deducted from my pay that the social secur- ity would come to anything"
 I thought of all the widows and old people who had left despair behind them when they walked out of our office, and said: MT. Mitchell, I want you to realize fully what old-age and survivors insurance is doing for workers and their families. It's a government insurance program that is provid- ing monthly benefits to nearly a million and quarter people, the country over. Now there's another thing. How old is your wife?"
 MT. Mitchell said she was two months older than he.
 That's fine" I said. Being 65 she can also get benefits right away. Hers will amount to half of yours, or around $12.50 a month. So together you will have about $37.50 a month
 MT. Mitchell was so close to the edge of his chair in an effort not to miss word that was on the watch for a spill, but to my relief he now moved back. His face was a million wrinkles, he was smiling so broadly. He said: wen do fine with that, we own our home. Soon as I'm feeling better I'll do odd jobs for the neighbors and turn a dollar here and there. With the insurance we can stay independ- ent - and I guess you know" he said with an expressive look, what that means to folks who have always paid their way"

 Wage Issue
Lobor Will Meet Industry Leaders In Monday Session

Washington, Nov. 3.-(UP)-The National Labor Management con- ference. which opens here Monday, was shaping up as the big geSt collective bargaining meeting in history.
 Labor and industry leaders alike saw excellent chances that it would lay the groundwork for settling retarding reconverSion affecting the future earnings of millions of work CTS.
 The Agenda now proposes only that the conference deal with means of minimizing industrial disputes The preparatory subcommittee was unable to reach unanimous agree ment on including the wage issue and left it up to the conference it. self.
 Question Inevitable
 Labor and industry delegates be- lieved it was inevitable that wage question would be brought up. One delegate said the conference, to be successful, must take up the question left unanswered in Presi- dent Truman'S wage-price policy statement Tuesday night.
 In that statement the President urged substantial" increases for Labor. without mentioning any spe- cific amount, and expressed the conviction that they could be grant, ed with no more than few raises in retail prices.
 While MT Truman recommended no specific wage raise, Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace last night released a heretofore confi- dential report holding that a gen. eral increase, averaging 10 per cent, was possible throughout industry in 1946 without raising prices. Industries Vary on Raises
 The report, prepared by the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce, said such a general increase would mean a rise of Is per cent or little more in the manufactur- ing industries"
 Some industries could afford morey some not so much" it said "The automobile industry is in the former class - IS per cent can be granted without adverse results in the first postwar year of unrestrict- ed operations, and a further in- crease of 10 per cent can be given for .1947 when production will have reached peak rates"
 Unions in the auto industry are asking a 30 per cent raise.
 Believes in Restoration
 Wallace told reporters that the cut in Labor's wartime "take-home' pay should be restored "n order to ease the situation, if we are go- ing to have the minimum of labor strikes"
 Price Administrator Chester Bowles also said that industry gen. erally could grant substantial wage increases without price relief,
 Bowles and Wallace refused to es- innate what percentage of labor's demand for a 30 per cent increase in basic wages should be granted under existing price ceilings.

Every day Social Security Board officers throughout the country are visited by men and women who want information and advice on their social security accounts who want to know their personal stake in the Federal insurance system. Each one is interesting, but out of the many who come there are always a few who stand out above all others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column, without, of course, mentioning any real names. And here's our selection for this week.
 One morning last week tall, gray-haired man walked into the Social Security Board office. He looked far from well and gave the appearance of being much older than the 65 years he could lay claim to- I'll call him MT Mitchell, though that is not his name.
 In a nervous, embarrassed man. her he said: They sent me here from the Public Welfare. I went there thinking I could get some help, being just out of the hos pital and all my savings gone. It iure costs something to be sick, don't it? I've been laid up two months-had to give up my war job when this thing hit me" He put his hand on his side to indl- cate where his trouble lay.
 I told him his work in war job and in other jobs-might make him eligible for old-age and survivors insurance-monthly re- tirement benefits.
 He replied uncertainty, That's s what they told me at the welfare office-I certainly hope so."
 Then I explained that it would be necessary for him to tell me about his work since January l, 1887. That's when the insurance program started. asked him where he had worked and how much he had earned.
 He had been in business for him. self up to about five years ago. Then he had worked in store for two years, and at the war job since then. He guessed his wages must have averaged $50 a month.
 MT. Mitchell" I said, If that is the case, you are undoubtedly insured. And your retirement benefit will probably be around $25 month. If you had worked steadily under the program since it started, your benefit would have

Unnecessary Horn BIorinq To Be eHaIted
 Police to Enforce
 Lows to Fullest
 On Reckless Acts

The reckless blaring of horns, late at night, will no longer be tol- erated by the Police department" Superintendent Daniel J. Carson said in a statement today He warn- ed that he has ordered policemen to enforce this latest order which has been issued in the interest of preserving the peace and quiet Of the city.
 MT, Carson pointed out that there have been numerous complaints of motorists needlessly blasting" horns late at night, merely for the pleasure of waking the neighbor- hood or to attract attention to their eXhibitionist performances. He said wedding parties, that are in the habit of loudly proclaiming the happy event by blowing the horns of cars for great lengths of time and at excessive volume, will be in- terrupted hereafter and not warned, but rather arrested and notified to appear in city court
 He warned that persons who stop in front of the home of workers early in the morning and blow the horns in order to arouse their riders" also will be subject to the penalties due such careless actions,
 MT. Carson said that there are State Motor Vehicle laws which state that sirens and steady horn blowing are to be the necessary privilege only of those vehicles em- ployed in emergency service, such as fire engines, ambulances, police cars, etc. He also pointed out that not only is there the possibility of motorist losing his license in vio- lating this State law, but penalty also will be inflicted by the courts,
 He said that it is State law that every motorist have his car equipped with a horn or some other warning device, but added that the excess use of this horn or warning device not only constitutes a violation of the State laws, but also of city ord- nance concerning the anti-noise law. A violation of either legal require- ment will subject the guilty party to
