 WASHINGTON - How is Nation al Service Life Insurance payable if the holder of a policy dies? Ex- service people, and particularly their beneficiaries, should be inter ested in this.
 I recently saw an editorial which criticized form put out supposedly to help beneficiaries in making a de- cision as to payments. A benefic- iary, as you know, is the person named by service man to receive the amount of money to be paid by the government (under his National Life Insurance policy) if he dies while in the service or at any time. The editorial went in part like this
 The Administration gets out a form and what a form. The bene- ficiary is asked to elect one of the two options as follows:
 Option l. In 240 equal monthly installments at the rate of $5.51 per thousand.
 Option g. In a refund life in- come in monthly installments pay able for such period certain as may be required in order that the sum of the installments certain, including last installment of such reduced amount as may be necessary, shall equal the face value of the contract, less any indebtedness, with such payments continuing throughout my lifetime.
 Read Option 3 again and tell the gold star mother of the kid across the street, who got killed at Two Jifna, just what to do about that in- surance policy"
 After I finished reading it, I turned to some material about in- surance I had in my files. I at tackled the printed matter boldly but soon found lacked enough astute- ness, since I got involved in repeat ed "installments certain" definite period certain" and months cer- tain" I wound up with a definite droop in my sagacity.
 I wish I could really explain these options simply. just in case there are any present or future benefic- iaries of National Life Insurance or any veterans who don't understand how the benefits are paid off. Well, I'll take a chance anyway; so here goes with try.
 Suppose Joe Veteran dies. He has "a $10,000 National Service Life h. surance policy and has been paying premiums right along. He had named his wife, Mary, as beneficiary on the policy and his sister, Jane, as con tingent beneficiary; that is. Jane would be paid if Mary died before all the benefit was paid.
 His wife, Mary, is under 30 years

MEAT RATI0NENG FOR CANADIANS
 IS PROBABILITY
Supplies Running Tighter Dominion Cabinet
 May Take Action

OTTAWA, June 21-The Canad- ian cabinet, studying this country's meat supply against the background Of world wide food crisis, probably will order rationing of civilian con sumption is the near future, it was learned today.
 Canadian meat production, which has made the Dominion a principal provider for Allied Armies and the l United States and has stocked civil ian tables to the envy of other peo- pies, is now running tighter. Ra- ticning would be aimed at distribut- ing civilian supplies more equitably and making more available for ex- port to a famine threatened world
 Proponents of rationing declare il is now necessary to ease increasing domestic shortages which are creat- ing black markets, to provide more meat for starving Europeans and to end criticism of Canada's non- rationed status which has been coni- ing from the United States.

VETERAN5' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

of age when Joe dies She doesn't get the $10,000 of insurance in a l lump sum. But she has two choices or options.
 1 She can collect $55.10 every month for twenty years. Figure it out That's over 13000 she'll collect. If she dies before the 20 years are up then Jane will collect the balance of the monthly payments due. That's che choice. It's Option 1.
 The other is this. Let's say Mary is 25. Maybe she realizes that at 25 a woman is expected ton the aver. age) to live 38 years more. That 38 years is really a low figure but there's no use going into the req sons why atsthis time. Anyway, if she shooses the first option which pays for 20 years, she'll only be 45 , when payments stop.
 So, if she wants to play it safe, she can collect $3620 every month for the rest of her life If she lives to be 150 years old, she'd still col feet. Suppose she lives just the 38 years more I said was a 25-year- old woman's average life expectancy. She would collect over $16,500. And if she lived longer she'd still go on collecting. That's Option 2.
 That's enough about options for this space. If you're willing, I'll go on from this point in my next ar ticle

GUAM, June 21.-The conquest of Okinawa was the longest and ccstliest of all the campaigns in the Central and Western Pacific.
 With casualty figures still in complete, the toll of enemy and American killed, captured and wounded all but equal the grand total of casualties in six major campaigns which led to Okinawa.
 The 82 days it took to break all organized resistance drawfs the 26 days of Two lima. The latter, how ever, is less than eight square miles in area, and Okinawa is roughly 485 square miles.

DODGERS ADD DUO OF WINS ONTO MARGIN
Riot Nearly PreGipifafed During White -Sox-
 Brownie Clash
CBy The Associated rress)

A four-run eighth inning climax cd by near-riot gave the Chicago White Sox their second straight victory over the St. Louis Browns yesterday.
 The excitement began when Pit cher George Caster, infuriated at the riding he had taken from the Sox jockeys" fired the ball into their dugout as he was called off the mound by Manager Luke Sew ell. After players from both teams had rushed onto the field, followed by spectators from the stands, the umpires, with the aid of the police, finally restored order.
 Paced by Tommy Holmes, the leagues leading hitter, the Boston Braves yesterday outslugged the Giants in a game in which six pitchers gave up hits, 16 for each side. The win was No. l2 for the Braves out of the last 16 games.
 Those unrushing Brooklyn Dod- gers cracked out a double win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Art Her ring won his first game of the year in the opener, while Curt Davis registered his sixth triumph in the nightcap.
 Lefty Hal Newhouser, Detroit s 29-game winner last year, won his tenth this season, blanking the Cleveland Indians for his third shutout. Newhouser helped rack up his fifth successive victory by batting in three runs with a double and single.

Race Question Economic

The so-called race question is
an economic one, not social. Pay
the Negro good wages for his
work, give him the opportunity
to demonstrate his own capacity
to learn, work and earn, give
him his Constitutional rights and
you have solved this distorted So
called race problem. Only the
demagogue tries to make political
capital of social equality, of racial
intermarriage. Let's not confuse
ourselves and the issue with such
absurdities. And let's make very
sure that those who for one rea-
son and another try to confuse us
with such claptrap do not stop us
of the South in the job that lies
Immediately ahead.
Poll Tax Eliminated
GeOrgia's new constitution will
write into her fundamental law the
prohibition against the already
discarded poll tax. 1t will place
but two qualifications upon the
right of all Georgians to vote:
that they shall be at least eigh-
teen years old, and that they be
literate enough TO understand
what they're voting on and about,
Much of the bad government
that we've had In the South can
be traced to bigotry and intoler-
ance, In office and out. In any
society plagued by poverty, there
are those living at a bare sub
sistance level whose antipathies
can be famed into flaming hatred
of those of another race, whom
they see as competitors.
Rase Issue Invented
The entire racial problem in the
South is economic, at It's roots.
1.-THE Race Problem" spelled with
capital letters, is something else
again. IL Is an invention of UNI
scrupulous demagogues, usually
scalawags serving nonresident
masters bent on exploiting South
ern resources and Southern work.

swing, was born in the town of

l.. Basic. The Count received his
first piano lessons from his moth
err, Mrs. Lillian Basic, who recalls
that her son was pounding the

While still in his teens, Bill
Basic ventured into the midwest

musician. After jobbing around In
theatres and small clubs for some
time, Basic landed his first pro-
fessional job in 1929 as pianist
and arranger with Walter Pages

star with the great Benny Moten
band in Kansas City, taking the
band over when Moten died in
1885. Walter Page, who gave
Basic his first big job, now plays
