Woman Sees Tot Killed
Bv DIJDLEY ANN HARMON

Paris, May 31-UP)-The ma jority of the hundreds of thousands of liberated French who were de- ported by the Germans during the occupation are i'll or drying, the di- rector of the ministry of prisoners health service told the United Press.
 He said that a program to restore them to health is one of the major government problems. Many of them risked their lives in the un- derground fight against the Ger mans.
 He said that of the 289 women freed from Ravensbruck to whom Paris gave weeping, shouting well come six weeks ago, 27 are dead and 87 are hospitalized.
 Liberated political prisoners and Jews have mortality rate of from IS to 20 per cent" the official said. However, the health of some half million prisoners of war and forced laborers is good. With the excep- tion of the officers, they were well fed in canteenS, or allowed to eat on the farms where they worked.
 Many who worked on the farms are mortified by the shortages in France.
 One of the few Jewish women who returned from the dreaded ex- termination camp of Auschwitz told me of seeing her baby burned to death. This women worked 12 hours daily under the kicks and lashes of the SS and women guards.
 She is only one of 10000 political and racial deportees who have re- turned to France. Of the 600,000 taken to Germany, many will never come back. How many died is not yet known, but doctors who were themselves deported have estimated it as high as 350,000.
 The ministry is making efforts to acquire more hitels and estates to serve as rest houses. It admits the number requisitioned is insufh- cient.
 Feeding convalescents in the Paris area is a definite problem because of the lack of such invalid foods as milk and wheat for white bread.

COLLEGES PLAN TO ELIMINATE
 WAR SPEED-UP

Minneapolis (UP)-Most Amer ican colleges and universities plan to dispense with their accelerated" educational programs as soon as possible after returning veterans needs have been taken care of.
 That's from a report on survey by the Northwestern National Life Insurance Go. The speed-up sched- ules were inaugurated as part of the wartime emergency.
 However, placement officials in 62 out of 101 colleges and universi- ties questioned in the survey indi- cated that the program had indi- cated that the program had dem- onstrated serious disadvantages and that the permanent benefits of edu- cation obtained under such pressure are definitely reduced. Some schools already have discontinued the ac- tolerated schedules or plan to con- tinue them only as long as demo- bilized servicemen need them.
 Sixteen of the institutions of higher education planned to keep the speed-up program permanently but five of these indicated that it would be in modified form. And officials of 23 schools still were un- certain if and how long accelerated schedulues would be maintained. The survey also showed that ed- ucators recognize certain improve ments in teaching techniques de- veloped during the war, such as greater use of visual education and closer vocational guidance. They fa- vor educational movies, more direct vocational training and certain speed-up techniques developed in teaching foreign languages.
 One comment came from the school of business administration of the University of Minnesota:
 "No amount of high-pressure, high-speed classroom work can sub- stitute for normal maturity"

up a trust fund of around $6,350,- 100000 to finance this. It is the benefit for which private employers have been deducting one per cent of wages, up to $S000 in any year, since the beginning of 1897. It is 8 right. bought and paid for.
 Another is Old Age Assistance. This is 8 grant, in case of need, made by the state and financed by them and the federal government jointly. It is not matter of con- tractual right.
 The third is Unemployment Con- penSation. In most states this is paid for exclusively by employers through a payroll tax. It is right.
 The fourth is program of aid for needy dependent children, sup elementary to the survivors benefits provided by Old Age Insurance. GET ADVICE
 You probably are entitled to Old Age Insurance, when you retire after 65, if your employer has been de- ducting one per cent of the first $300O of your wages each year. If he has, you are risking the loss of monthly income unless you ascer- tain your Old Age Insurance status at once when you reach the age of 65.
 The smart thing to do is write to the Social Security Board at Balti- more, Md, for an official statement of your insured earnings record. A special request form, known as OAR-70O4, can be obtained from

Chungking, May 31-(UP)-Lt. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer, com- mander of U. S. Forces in China, said today that the Allies were pass ing from the defensive to the offen- sive in China.
 we are now on the upgrade" he l told a press conference. T am very optimistic over future military de- velopments in China"
 Even as he spoke, Chinese forces seized control of possibly 1sO miles of the Japanese lifeline corridor across China.
 Still greater victories appeared imminent. The Japanese were re- ported to have fired and abandoned the strategic cities of Liuchow and Liucheng in the central KWangsi province sector of the corridor. Wedemeyer told his press confer ence that the Japanese may aban- don the whole corridor linking Shanghai with Hong Kong, Bang kok and Singapore.
 Wedeweyer said Pacific operations by the forces under Admiral Ches- ter w. Nimitz and Gen. Douglas Macarthur had contributed greatly to the change for the better in China.
 "The Japanese appear committed to a policy on the Asiatic mainland and the homeland of redisposing their forces and resources for pro- tecting the dynamo and the citadel of their war effort" he said.
 The Japanese withdrawals in China were accelerated, he said, by their discovery that they could not April drive to widen the corridor and take American air bases with out excessive costs.
 The problem of supply still re- mains one of the greatest in the theater, Wedeweyer said. pointing out the difficulty of distribution tc the fronts even after the supplies are delivered at Running.
 Wedemeyer stressed that the Chi nese communications, rough terrain and limited bridges made it impos- SlUle IO use uedVy dIIlllSly.
 He credited improved morale anc 1 fighting spirit among Chinese troops to better food and pay, American advice and evacuation of tht wounded.
 He paid tribute to the Chinese forces on the Human front where they really fought and killed Japs.
 Wedemeyer described prisoners taken there as a discouraged lot many of whom are convinced Japar has lost the war"
 Wedemeyer said the fall of Nan ming, strategic inland port ant highway center near the Indo China border, resulted when Chi nese took advantage of Japanes' withdrawals along the corridor.
 Prom Manning proper steps ar' being taken to secure the position and the Chinese will exploit all pos abilities" he said.

the nearest field office of the board.
 When this information comes, take it to the field office and have Social Security workers tell you what to do about it. The chances are strong that you will be advised to freeze" your benefit rate now. in case your earnings should decline That will insure against decrease during the redeployment ana demo- bilization periods.
 If, on the other hand, your earn ings should increase, so as to raise your benefits, you can always have the rate recomputed. So you can not lose by freezing the rate as soon as you become 65, provided at that time you are fully insured. If you are not fully insured when you become 65, and therefore cannot establish a benefit rate at that time, the boards workers can tell you how much longer you must hold onto 8 job in order to qualify for benefits. They can tell you also whether you are currently insured" and in that case what benefits your sur viving widow and children could claim if anything happens to you before you become fully insured.
 TOMORROW: How to estimate the monthly benefits available, if YOU are over 65, and why 1t is im- portant to freeze" the rate of these benefits at once.

By S. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Writer

Among the 4,500,0oo war workers who will lose or change jobs in the coming year there will be from 200, ,OOO to 6o0,00O who are over 65. The larger number represents the approximate total of over-65 en- ployes who are now paying Old Age Insurance. The smaller is the num- Der that 1t has been estimated will be among the first years job-losers. FREEZE" RATES
 These over-65 workers may find it hard to get new employment as industrial redeployment eases the manpower pressure. Some, at least, may be ready and willing to retire. And almost all of them are entitled, when and if they stop working, to draw monthly old age insurance from the federal system.
 The time has come when every worker who has passed his 65th birthday should inquire into his rights under Social Security, wheth- CT or not he intends to keep on
