THE SATURDAY Reutemez

is another room of smaller size, the death cell where the con- demned is Cor are) confined, five hours preceding the execution. There he receives his last meal. His walk to the chair is a matter of about IS steps. Death is instantaneous and painless. The volts knock you out and the amps later kill. All executions are at 10 p. m. Five have died in the chair since its install lation. Enough of that!
 Guards Duties
 The employe staff at Wethersfleld, comprised at present of l30. is un- dermanned in comparison with pre- war personnel statistics. These em- ployeS are now working 60 hours per week in the daytime while the night shift works 66 hours weekly. The guards at Wethersfleld have union association which Is one of the most united anywhere. Their duties are numerous and varied,
 They carry a set of keys which look as though they could unlock every door in the Pentagon build ing. Opening and closing of doors in a states prison Is quite chore, for the hardfast rule Is that upon entering a room to pass through to another room the first door is en- tered then immediately locked by that guard before the guard at the opposite door unlockS the latter. Never are two doors, in one room, unlocked at one time. That Is a cardinal violation and a guard Is subject to dismissal for the of- fense.
 Stress on Cleanliness
 The stress on constant, healthy ac. tivitieS is notable in the daily routine of the inmates. AS stated they are kept busy at tangible, formative jobs during the day interspersed with daily recreational periods of some kind. Visitors are allowed at certain intervals. Many men have personal hobbies such as wood- working, making figurines, modelling out of clay, and-yes-knitting!
 You receive an excellent impress sion of cleanliness throughout the entire institution. The kitchen an6 dining rooms are spotless and all metalWare is stainless steel in these quarters. Perhaps the only dingi- ness of that word may be used) is to be noticed in the cell block where the men are confined. These cells are quite narrow. It Is not dirt, but dull old-age you notice for the cell-block quarters are the oldest part of the institution. Of notable attractiveness is the auditorium where the shows are presented. the concerts given and the movies viewed.
 These are but the highlights of such tour as we took. This column is too conf1ning to really touch upon the subject thoroughly. Ask Sena- tor Pat Wallace, If you want more information. He is now an author ity on affairs of such institutions and gives strong promise of being instrumental in instituting many progressive methods within Con- necticut's penal system.

Features Of Your Social Security Act

Editors Note: This Is the fourth
 of a series of II articles on Old
 Age and Survivors Insurance and
 related programs. These articles
 will appear in this newspaper as
 space becomes available. If you
 wish further information about
 any of the sub jectS discussed, you
 are invited to contact the nearest
 Social Security Board office or
 the other agencies menti0ned.)
 The amount of the monthly pay ments to the elderly worker de- scribed in the preceding article de- pends upon the amount and regular ity of his earnings. The Social Se- curity Board record must be checked before we can tell and exactly what your payments will be- The following illustrations, however, should give you some idea of where you stand.
 John Smith was 65 years of age before January 1, 1887; he retired on January 1. 1942, and the Social Se- curity Board found that his earnings during 1889, 1940, and 1941 averaged $5000 a month. He will receive a monthly payment of $20.60 for the rest of his life. Richard Jones (the same age and retiring at the same time) had been earning $l0O.00 a month, and will rceive a monthly payment of $26.75.
 Richard Henderson became 65 years of age on July 1888. His work, however, was very irregular and 1t was not until January 1, 1943, that he had to his credit the needed six 5000 quarters; he retired on that date. Averaging his earnings for 1887, the first half of 1888. and all of 1889, l940. 1941, and 1942 slowed net average monthly earnings rate of only $500 MT Henderson will, how ever, receive the minimum monthly payment of 5000. Henry Wilson (thc same age and retiring at the same time) had average monthly earnings of &l50O0; he will receive Q payment of $3l.80.
 Anson Williams, an executive of a large firm, became 65 years of age on April 1, 1043, and r red at that tune From January l. 1887, to the date of his retirement he had re- ceived wages at the maximum cred- itable rate of $25000 per month. His monthly life payment will be $42.80.
 If any of these workers has a wife 65 years of age or over or a child under the age of IS, supplementary payments will be made also for these dependents. The worker must retire, however, and become eligible for his own benefits before the additional payments can be made. The follow ing illustrations apply to the per- sons listed in the examples above.
 Smith has a young wife and two children under IS. The children are eligible for a payment of $l0.3O each. The family will thus receive q total of $41.20 until the oldest child be- comes IS. Payments will then be $30.90 up to the time the youngest becomes 18. Mrs. Smiths payment at age 65 will be &10:30 a month if her husband is still living at that time or 4l6.46 if he dies in the meantime.
 Williams, the executive mentioned before. has q wife who is also 65 years of age. She will receive a monthly payment of 92i .40, making a total of 464.2O c month for the couple. Upon the death of her hus- band, payments to Mrs. Williams

receive a five cent an hour general
wage increase and vacation privi-
leges. a tripartite panel Of the war

Derby Winner
Moves On 10
Preakness Tilt

LOUISVILLE, KY, June IL. (UP)
Hoop Jr.'s smashing six-length
Kentucky Derby triumph Saturday
in WalloW of mud was expected to
make an odds-on choice to score
q repeat performance in the preak-
ness at Baltimore next Saturday,
turf experts in the hard-bootS coun-
try predicted Monday.
The bounding bay colt may not
win the three-year-oid triple crown
with victories in the Preakness and
the Belmont stakes, but he already
has established a place in turf his
tory.
Bought by 35-year-old Fred w
Hooper, Jr., Florida millionaire
contractor, he became the first thor
oughbred purchase" to win the
Derby, and he made his famed dad
dy", Sir Gallahad III, the worlds
leading money winning sire. The
$64, 1850 winning return to Hooper
brought the total winnings of the
get of the French horse to 1924
389, surprising the previous mark
of $3,178,263 held by Man O'War.
And for Jockey Eddie Arcaro, the
Covington, KY, Italian boy who
booted him home in front, Hoop,
Jr., provided an opportunity to make
new history among the riding clan.
Hooper will be shooting at an
other mark n~the Preakness. Only
{,,,D ~,
1943 and Gallant Fox in 1880, have
gone on from winning the Wood
Memorial to take the triple crown.
Hooper, who paid $4,000 for the
colt at the Lexington, KY, yearling
sales already has won $89,270 with
him, all but $1,000 this year. In adj
dition to the Derby triumph, his
winning of the second section of the
Wood brought a purse of $19.120.

HORSE MEAT WITH GRASS
MADE TREAT FOR PWs

MT. CARROLL, Ill, June IL. CUP
Pvt. Kenneth Bro, %, who visited
his family here while en- route to an
Army hospital for rehabilitation
treatment, said that he and Is other
war prisoners in a German camp
near Waldorf ate meat only once
during their months Imprisonment
and then it was horse meat cooked
with grass.
The meat e"treat" resulted, he said,
when horse was killed by artillery
fire near the camp. One of the fore
ed laborerS confined at the camp
ran outside and cut off chunk Of
the horses flesh with a pen knife.
That night they boiled the meat in
helmet, adding some nice new
tender grass" for the green's.
The camps regular fare for pris-
oners consisted, Bro said, of black
bread and cofffe substitute for
breakfast; a half bowl of soup made
of bread crumbs and water for din
ner; and one slice of black bread
for supper. Bro and his companions
were released in about a month
when their own division captured
Waldorf.

|, The Pacific Coast league baseball
race leveled off over the week end
and hopes sprung anew in the also
rams as the Portland Beavers drop
ped a Sunday twin bill and the
second-place Seattle Rainiers won
a pair to climb within one and one
half games of the pace-setters.
The league tightened up from top
to bottom, with the generally
trampled Hollywood Stars taking
a pair from San Diego, 6-3 and 20
and winning the series, five games
to two-the most decisive week
long record the Stars have been
able to catalogue this season.
The Beavers lost by scores of 6-5
and 81 to the Angels, but won the
series, 4-3; Seattle won from San
Francisco, 9-5 and SO to annex the
series 4-3; and Sacramento won
both games from Oakland, 11-8 and
9-8 to take So engagement.
The days play featured every
thing from home-run orgies to shut
out pitching performances. Of the
latter, Bob Williams of Hollywood
turned in the best-a two-hit per-
formance over the Padres. The vet
eran Hal Turpin turned the trick
for Seattle with six-hitter and a
SO win over the Seals.
Jimmy Grant, reformed third
sacker playing the outfield for the
Sacs, was the major casualty of the
day when he fell trying to make a
shoestring catch and broke a shoul-
der He probably will be out of the
game for the rest of the season.
