BENEFITS FOR SURVIVORS OF
 WAR II VETS

1 IA-C t)OSAdl CCNbll ltN O1llC2 III Ju- neau states that thousands of sur vivors of World War II veterans not otherwise covered by the law, will be eligible for old-age and survivors insurance benefits under the 1946 amendments to the Social Security Act
 In order that survivors Of a de- ceased veteran may receive pay ments of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance under the new law his record must show that: Q) The veteran was in military service on or after September IS, 1940 and before the official end iof the war.
 C2) The veteran had at least 90 days of service, or. if his service was less than 90 days it was ter minated by reason of a service connected or service-aggravated disability.
 1 (3) The veteran was not dishon- crably discharged from military service.
 ! (4 The veterans death did not occur while he was still in mili- tary service nor more than three years after the date of his dis charge.
 The eX-serviceman will not re- ceive payments himself, by reason of the new amendments. The re- vised law simply means insurance protection for certain dependents who may survive, in case he dieS within a specified period after his discharge from military service. In other words, the law applies to vet erans who die or have died within three years after their discharge and are discharged within four years and one day after the of ficial termination of the war (As yet the official termination of the war has not been declarsd)
 One Barrier
 Survivors of a deceased veteran will not be entitled to benefits under the 1946 Social Security am endments if they are receiving com pensation or pension from the Vet erans Administration. (Compensa- tion or pension does not include Government life insurance)
 If the qualified veteran leaves a widow with young children in her care, she will be eligible to receive a monthly benefit Each child un- der Is may also receive a month ly benefit As each child reaches the age of Is, his benefits will stop. When all of the children have reached their 18th birthday, the widows benefit will stop if she is under 65 years of age But when she reaches the age of 65 she can again file a claim for benefits which will continue for the rest of her life. The widow, however, will lose all rights to benefits, if she TemarrleS.
 Parents Eligible
 If the veteran leaves neither Wid- ow nor children under 18, his par ents may be eligible for benefits if they are 65 years old or more and were dependent upon him for support at the time of his death.
 If the veteran leaves no survivors immediately eligible fer monthly benefits, a lump sum may be pay able to certain specified relatives or to any other relative or rersca who paid burial expenses.
 Survivors of qualified World War II Veterans who died prior to the effective date of the amendment. but within three years after thSi' discharge, should file at once for benefits, which will be payable from the month of veterans death. provided the application is filed prier to midnight February 10, l947 After this date payments

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

The black spectre of hunger is moving over Europe and Asia. Un- less immediate help is given, by this time next year millions more will have perished of hunger.
 The United States is the one country in the world who can pre- vent mass starvation. The United States stands today as one of the richest countries in the world, the one country that did not even have to tighten it's belt little to wage one of the biggest wars in history. Production is at a peak and ex- cept for shortages of few scarce items our stores overflow with all kinds of food.
 Our government has called upon it's citizens to share food with the victims of Fascist ravaged Europe. From all reports the voluntary food sharing program has brought some results but not enough. Herbert Lehman, Chester Bowles, and other persons in a position to know say that we may have to ration food in America again in order to supply Europe with a bare subsistence diet. If this does happen Americans should be prepared to accept such program. Only the very greedy could think of grumbling at time when Life itself is at stake.
 Herbert Hoover has come back from Euroe with the cheeful mes- sage that he has wrung concessions from many countries, that the Starv- ing have agreed to starve little more. I think MT. Hoover might spend a little more time emphasiz- ing how we the well-fed can give little more to avert starvation.
 The American people have al- ways been a generous people and they will not fail the needy now. The building of healthy satisfied Europe is after all in our own in terests. Healthy, satisfied people are less apt to fall prey to the Fascist systems we just fought so hard to exterminate.

Our SCaCe 1eg1SlaLOrS apparently believe" he said, "that raising sal aries of attendants in mental insti- tutions from $12OO to LAO, bring ing them up to less than $28 week will attract sufficient com petent help, but they will find that they are sadly mistaken. Such an increase is entirely inadequate un- der existing conditions. How many men do they know that will take jobs at this low wage? wonder whether they have ever stopped to figure out how a man can support family on $28 week"
 Maintaining that there is some- thing radically wrong with Con- necticut's salary policies, the A. Y. of L. leader said the state is 30 years behind the times. Tt seems our legislators are unwilling to look the economic facts of life in the face," he continued. Our sal ary policy is cockeyed from top to bottom. Here we are at one end offering starvation wages to attend ants in our institutions, and at the other end involving executives, of- fering as little as $3,540 a year.

In 1880 he learned that a film company in Chicago was planning a series of radio programs to exploit a new movie "Dracula," and inasmuch as none of the picture company men knew much of broadcaSting, they allowed Bret to cast himself in the lead role and direct and produce the entire series.
 This was followed with various other radio roles in Chicago, at the end of which time he left to make four movies. He was then given an opportunity to sing and direct his own program, which was broadcast for over two years. Then came sing ing and acting roles in Mutuaps Chicago Theater of the Air." and the role of the suave MT. First Nighter on the program of that name.
 In May of 1943, Morrison took a special recruiting job for the U. s. Army, and later came to New York. When he learned that "The Shadow" was searching for a new actor to play the title role, he im- mediately auditioned for the part. When the producers of the veteran mystery program heard Bret laugh the eerie Shadow" laugh, and slide into a smooth impersonation of the famous Sleuth, they knew they had found a perfect Shadow"

Arthur Hale, Mutual network commentator (7:30 Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) tells of letter from friend in Texas about a scheme to make use of the Big Inch Pipeline which carried oil from Texas to New York during the war, but which isn't needed for that purpose any longer. Hale's friend says some Texans have what they think is a wonderful idea they'd use the Big Inch to trans port jackrabbits to the East for use as food. They'd merely roundup the jackrabbits and herd them into the pipeline, and collect-not on the basis of how many started on the journey-but on how many arrived. They figure it's long trip and the jackrabbit population couldn't fail to increase in transit.

second place money now out Of their reach, Kearney & Company may have a job on their hands to capture third honors from the low est averaged team in the league.
 The Poles really took the honors this week. They rolled games of 5l0, $50 and 5l0 for total pinfall of 1870 Ted By was the star with high single of 130 and total of $40, while Phyllis Chestone did her share with three games over the century mark.
 Another big upset was the defeat of the Fuses by the lowly Sparks. Despite the valiant efforts of Cor don Whitaker, who bowled 355, the Fuses could do very little against Madeline Sweeney, Bill LeRoy and Floyd Gensler.
 The Plugs assured themselves of second place by taking the Volts over the hurdles. Although no rec ordS were broken, they bowled well enough to take four points. The slogan of the Plugs Is Bowl when the pins are needed, but keep your average down." It works pretty well, too.
 The poor Switches took 1t on the chin again, throwing four points to the Wires. It must be spring fever.
 Ted Bandurski bowled over the naples for a neat 34l this week. His teammate, Doris Cosgrove, also did pretty well with 3l3, while Ev- elyn Bakmazian of the Bulbs had high single for the girls of l20 and a three game score of 3o4, Nice go- ing, Evelyn.
