PFC. VIRGINIA M. f1ENKlkSON
 This is Virginia's second appearance in the BEAM. In the November eighteenth issue we carried story telling of her appoint ment as WAC Pin-Up Girl of Fighter Squadron in France. However, Ginny's heart is in Germany with her hancee, an Infantry man with the First Army, and according to her he's the best darn soldier in the Army. My gosh, l just realized that leaves me out.) A Worcester, Mass, native, Ginny was employed at a hospital in that city be- fore joining the WAC. All of which should make her feel pretty much at home at her reception desk job at Bradley's station hos pital. Ginny is five foot six Gin stocking feet and has blue eyes. She used to like her blonde tresses but got tired of hearing the inevitable male whistle. Favors danc- ing, horseback riding, tennis and swimming. Also once rowed row boat. -.

LANSING, Aug. 81 - up -
Michigan municipalities and in
dustries, especially those metal
factories which are recovering
to peace-time production, were
urged by the State Stream Con-
troll Commission Thursday to
grapple anew with stream pollu-
ton problems, ignored while
materials for corrective treat
ment were scarce.
p. j. Hoffmaster, Commission
Chairman, said number OF
plants which operated metal
picking processes have been
dumping their liquors into lakes
and streams in preparation for
reconversion.
The Commission called form
ally on the Nash Kelvinator
plant at Grand Rapids to report
what corrective steps 1t plans
after asserting that factory was
responsible for a large fish kill
ing on the Grand River, last
week.
Milton P. Adams. Commission

emily dumped quantities of cy-
anide, chromium, carbide sludge
and strong acids and alkalis into
the stream.
He said the apparent failure
OF storm water regulator in

wastes from Lansing factories to

Mine Woge Porley
off And On Again
Staggering Under
Loot, Says Lewis

Negotiations between the United
Mine Workers and the nations soft
coal operators were still nip and tuck
this week as the time for strike vote
and for expiration of the Miners ex-
isting contract drew near.
Conferences broke off on Wednes-
day morning for what was described
as an "indefinite recess" but few
hours later-after a private caucus
between union chiefs and operators
spokesmen-both parties decided to
try again for an agreement.
Newspapers are freely forecasting
that the government will take over
the mines. However, it was consid-
cred likelier that, if deadlock oc-
ours, Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins will certify the dispute to the
War Labor Board and that the union
I will then defer strike action.
So far, the operators, acting hard
boiled, have rejected President John
l.. Lewis demand for a 10-cent a ton
royalty to provide health insurance
fund for the miners. On the other
issues they have offered minor con-
cessions which they said would aggre-
gate an increase of $3.41 week.
Lewis called that estimate Gin
flated" and turned down the offer as
mere bagatelle. Blasting the opera
tors, he charged '.they are staggering
under their war loot and naturally arc
arrogant"

MINISTER'S POINT OUT
u. S. NOT PERFECT

New York City 0LNS)-A warn
ing that the United States has not
made such success Of democracy
that it can afford to hold it up as a
shining example to the rest of the
world was given by the Rev. DR..
Ernest X. Palen, pastor of the Middle
Collegiate Reformed Church, Second
Avenue and Seventh Street, in the
third of Lenten series of sermons.
"We shall need to solve the race
problem" DIR. Palm said. at will not
be solved by race riots. Our race
problem will never be solved by arbi-
trary and compulsory measures from
without 1t will be only solved as
white and black people treat each
other as brothers. That can be done
only by the exercise Of the Christian
spirit.

democracy is the most difficult kind
of government TO maintain. 1t is the
hardest kind of government under

can never be inflatiOnary."
Engel told the House that wage
freezes, reduced income tax exemp-
tions and higher living costs have cut
living standards of lower income
groups far below 1889 levels. 1t takes
from $1.31 to $1.48 today to buy what
81 bought in 1889, he added He urged
as one answer the adoption of his
bill to raise income tax exemptions
in the lower brackets from $500 to
$500 for single person and $4,000
for family heads, with an additional
$500 for each dependent.
The consequent loss of revenue, he
said, could be offset in two ways
by eliminating the present out
rageous waste of taxpayers money!"
and by raising tax rates for the
higher incomes.
Engel declared he spoke on behalf
of millions in the low-income tax
group who find themselves with pre-
war or nearly prewar incomes, with
wartime income tax exemptions and
increased costs of living and who find
it difficult under present conditions to
live decently."

to $4,665.60 and your wife if she is
your age, will receive S2,332.80 if
you both live out your "life expect
ancy," as the insurance man would
say. That is total of $6,998.40 from
your social security account.
If your wife outlives you, she will
get $24.30 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 same a total
of $2S8.00 in premiums to buy for
you and your wife old-age insurance
worth more than 20 times that
amount.
1t is important to remember, how
ever, that your benefits will not he

claim for benefits it is necessary to
get in touch with the nearest Social
Security Board field office.
