Eliminate
All Want

Boston, Feb. 9-UP)-The United
States has sufficient productive ca
pacity to entirely eliminate want,
Chairman Arthur ]. Altmyer of the
Social Security Board in Washing
ton said today.
Addressing the Catholic Confer
ence on industrial Problems, Altmy-
er urged extension of the benefits OF
the Social Security Act to persons
not now covered by its provisions.
"It Is not only feasible but vitality
necessary that we establish a speci-
fic program for the elimination of
want because the working peo-
pie Of 'this country always will be
confronted with the great hazards Of
sickness, physical disability, old age
and death as wyell as intermittent
unemployment" he said.
Altmyer advocated a system OF So
cial insurance under which benefits
would be paid to compensate for q
reasonable proportion of the wage
loss sustained.

a new problem In deciding on

ers has been posed 10 the Work
mems Compensation Commissioners
as a result Of the brass strikes
here, It was learned today.
Under the compensation Law, Q
worker who Is injured In the course
Of employment but is only par
italy incapacitated receives half
Of the difference In pay between
his old and new Jobs as compen-
sation.
Hundreds of such partin1y m
cap@eitated workers Of che big

the current strikes. However, UNI
like totally disabled worhaTs, they
can not receive paymeE1.,S while
completely away from work, since
the amount OF payments due them
Is measured by the type OF work
they perform.
Compensation Commissioner Harry
Krasow said no case involving a
partially ircapacitated worker and
the strike has been set for a hear
ing n yet, but @ ruling Is expected

Workers who have wiifully Joined
IN the walkout win lose wHoxkmen'g
compensation payments, It was In

disabled workers are reported 70
be persons who are not union menu
bers and who were forced" out Of
the Jobs by the strikes.
The question Of whether or not
there Is work available" for the
disabled brass workers Is expected
to be brought into the hearings.
The commissioner pointed out
that payments win continue for
brass workers who are totally in
capacitated As long as they are
disabled. regardless Of the strike.
The new problem appears to In

persons who had to take lighter
Jobs at less pay because Of their

Twelve Episcopal clergymen com

dead would certainly wish their
bodies 10 serve as a permanent
promise that the world Is truly one. "
The ministers estimated that the
cost Of the proposed project would
be $500 900, 900 money that could
better be used to alleviate human
suffering"
They beseeched the President to
put an end to this costly pagan
venture" and use the money TO
