CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 8.-P)-An ad-
vance of 1914 cents pushed oats
prices to ceilings today, putting all
grain contracts at their OPA maxi
NUNS. Ceiling prices also we're bid
at Kansas City and Minneapolis.
At Winnipeg rye finished l 5-S-5
cents higher.
At the opening there were mod
erately large offerings of oats, rep
resenting accumulated overnight
orders to sell brought about by
yesterdays sharp upturn. This
profit-taking coming through COM
mission houses was not sufficient
to absorb the demand. After prices
reached ceilings there vas only
an occasional trade.
Final prices were wheat $1.98R,
corn $1.46h, oats SO cents, rye
81. 58k and barley $1.35R. There
was no trade in any grain but oats.
Future price changes, if any,
expected to reflect congress
action on the OPA extern
sion bill. This act lis scheduled to
come up for debate in the senate
on Monday. Some decision must be
forthcoming before the end of this
month or the price fixing agency
will automatically expire.

mounting profits due partly to
elimination of excess profits taxes.

Federal Old Age ms.
Marks 10 Years Service

Completion of ten years of pub
lie service in the local operation
of the Federal old-age and surv-
ivors insurance program was
marked in November by the Seat
tie office of the Social Security
Administration at the U. S. Court
House, Dan Mather, Jr., officer
manager, said last week.
Established by the Social Sec
urity Act of 1885 the program
originally was confined to benefits
for qualified wage earners who
had reached age 50 and retired
from employment in industry and
commerce. In 1899, an amendment
to the Act added survivors in
surance to the system.
The Seattle office was opened
November IA, 1886 in the Alaska
Building, subsequently moving to
its present location in the U. S.
Court House at Sixth and Spring.
1t is the local office of the
Social Security Administration
that processes claims for benefits
under the old-age and survivors
insurance program. This office
gives all information and assistant
ce needed by workers in employ
ment covered by the Social Secur-
ity Act in preserving their in
suranee rights so that they will
be able to receive the full ben
efits they have earned. The spec
ifiC duties of the local office in
clude the issuance of new and
duplicate security account cards
and assistance to workers in the
checking of their accounts and
getting the accounts put straight
where errors have been made.
The field office is the point
of personal contact of the worker
with the agency administering the
program under which he is earn
ing insurance rights in employ
ment covered by the Social Sec
urity Act Benefits received
through application at the field
office are based on wages earned
in coveret employment, records of
which are kept at the Baltimore
headquarters of the Bureau of
Old-age and Survivors Insurance.
Nationally, the old-age and sur
vivors insurance program has
grown from approximately 10000
beneficiaries in 1910 to a total of
more than 100000 beneficiaries
who are receiving more than $685.
600 600 in benefits every month.
