BY SARAH FLINN.
Bernard M. Baruch, presidential
adviser, who does his. speculatine
and prophesying from a bench in
Lafayette Park, will be IS tomorrow
He celebrated his birthday in
Washington yesterday In typical
Barney Baruch fashion. He sat on
park bench, his blue eyes squirting
at the sun, and he speculated about
the future.
Mr.. Baruch came down from his
New York home to spend several
days with his son, Comdr. Bernard
NJ. Baruch, jr., who for more than six
years has been on active duty in
the Navy. He stopped conferring
with officials and friends long
enough to sit on his park bench and
talk.
He talked about reconversion-the
problem on which he spent many
months Of study and planning for
President Roosevelt. His program
was presented to the President last
year, and became the basis for the
Surplus Property Board and other
reconversion plans. ,I-..5s-
Worries About WariWorkers.
The reconversion problem that
bothers him most now is the war
worker.
The American people have been
fast asleep on the problem of hui
man rehabilitation" he declared.
The human side of reconversion has
not been activated properly. There
are more. than 100000 enlisted
men and women in the armed serv-
ices and there are more than
5000 900 war workers. Where is the
plan for absorbing these people into
the population; for giving them 4
chance to make a life of thier own
choosing?" AakS -~'
Il have high hopes that Gen.
Bradley will solye this problem for

ers. There should be some part of
the Government directly respon-
sible for their welfare. Unemploy-
ment insurance is fine, and it should
be increased. 1t must be extended
to Government workers and the self
employed. But that in itself is not
enough. These people must have
jobs and homes. There must be a
plan for them"
He talked about the problem of

be the need of too much Govern
ment interference.
He talked about Russia.
Praises Our System.
I'VE will get along with Russia.
We must. But we must watch. We
have good political system and a
good economic system. There is
good marriage of the two. That
marriage has served us well, and the
young men and women it developed
have again, now, saved the world
Russia has a different kind of
political System-but she Is trying
to copy our economic system. We
also must watch to see that we do
not lean toward, or try to copy,
her political system. If we. do,
therell be divorce, and somebody
will wake up dead"
He talked about peace.
I'm more hopeful Of peace than
was in 1913. The people will de-
mand peace But we won't have it
unless We are ready to maintain it,
unless there Is a strong interna-
tional organization, in which we
take our part. We must be willing
and able to carry out our share of
the military responsibility for peace.
We must have universal service and
industrial mobilization. We must
review our military force in the new
light of scientific discoveries such as
the atomic bomb. a. - o
Still Looks to Future.
And then, Mr.. Baruch just talked.
You know, I haven't changed at
all. Seventy-five years doesn't seem
to make any difference. I still am
interested in the same things. 1
still n1tlooking to the future. When
I start looking back at the past, I'll
quit. still think ladies ARE the
most charming things IN the world.
I'm no older, and no wiser.

who has given millions for science
and education and the welfare of
people, who has refused to accept
any public ofiice but has had q hand
in more important decisions than
probably any one man in the, last
Quarter Of a century, squinted at
the sun from his park bench.
He wouldn't say what his next
task in serving his country would
be. He smiled and said, II just

Demand for Housing
Continues Heavy Here
Despite End Of War

The end of the war with. Japan
has brought no apparent letup in
the heavy demand for living quar-
ters here, Miss Ellen Harper, chief
OF the Homes Use Section OF, the
National Housing Agency. said to-
day.
Yesterday. she added, her ,office
received about 800 applications for
living quarters, which has been the
daily average for the last month,
during which demands for housing
here have been heavier than at any
time during the war.
There Is not much turnover in
housing" she continued. "We be-
lieve, without knowing it definitely,
that many war workers who 60
elsewhere. are leaving their families
here temporarily"
An examination Of the applica-
tions filed recently Miss Harper
said, show that many of the new
persons coming to. Washington are
employed by the Veterans Admins
tration and other agencies which are
slated for postwar expansion. How
ever, quite a number still give their
place Of employment as the War and
Navy Departments.
Miss Harper said she assumed that
end of the war with Japan would
cause some easing OF the demand
for housing here, but that so far
there was no concrete evidence of it.
Another official of the FHA said
that the order issued yesterday for
a cessation of the public housing
program would affect only one prof.
ect here in a preconstruction stage
some 800 units designed for colored
occupancy on Stanton road Sc. An
other project in the blueprint stage,
but on which no work had been
done, was to be located near the

Every day our ofice Is visited by women w1no want information and advice on their social security accounts-who want to know their personal stake in the Fderal in- surance system. Each one is ir- teresting but out of the many who come there are always . few who stand out above ell others. Each week we choose the most inter- esting among them to tell you about In this column-without, of course, mentioning any real names.
 A man well past 6S came Into our ofiice this week. He approach ed and presented his social secur- ity card with the air of person who has checked his bag at . railway station and has come to pick 1t up. He acted as if he had come to get something that was his own, something about which there was no question.
 "I read something about so:ial security recently" he said, "that makes me think I'd better file my claim for social security right away, I was laid of three months ago. For a while l thought I'd find another job. But every day 1t seems it's hard to get around. I'm 0s. I guess I look 1t: my rheumatism Is bad"
 He stopped and slowly opened and closed his gnarled hands. his eyes fixed on them the while.
 "They look as If they've done c lot of work in their time," I %. T guess you're proud of

 T am," he answered with a slow, reminisc1lt sort of smile. They've put In fifty years on one machine and another. Can't do much more. The way I see 1t, I'm through earning wages. ! read that a mans average monthly wage goes down when he stays oif his job. That rightp"
 "Yes." I answered. "It's this way, MT. Anderson" ('-chis. of course, was not his real name.) Average monthly wage does not mean the average vase q worker earns a month. It's the average monthly wage in covered tohs- jobs in private industry and bust. nesS-since January i. 1887, when the old-age and survivors inSur- ance program started. To get the average you have to take all the wages . man has earned in cov- ed jobs since that date and divide the total by all the months that have elapsed between that time and the time he files his claim. Naturally, when a worker stays oil his job for some time or works in uncovered jobs, his average monthly wage goes down. That, in turn, reduces his Mssnthly benes fits"
 That's what l figured" he re. piled. Then he pulled out a heavy envelope. From it he took c little book in which all his wages had been entered week by week. He had added the whole thing up and now pointed to the total on the last page.
