Organized Labor
 In Plea For Clapp

Organized labor is greatly disturbed over an adverse report by the Senate Public Works Committee on the nomi- nation of Gordon R. C1app to be chair man of the Tennessee Valley Authori- ty, succeeding David Li1ienthal.
 Employees of the T. V. A. who have served under Clapp for many years sent te1egrams to every Senator, certi- flying to his capacity and the splendid service he has rendered the great power project.
 Marion Hodges, research director of the A. F. of L. Electrical Workers, who has had many contacts with Clapp says he cannot imagine how any one can oppose the nomination.
 'Clapp is one of the most efficient men in the government service, Hedges declared. His record is with out flaw, and no one appeared before the Senate committee to question it. He is no more Red than I am.
 "In the interest of continued com potent management of T. V. A., it is to be hoped the Senate will confirm him by an emphatic majority"

Social Security
Retirement Paw
Is Explained

Minimum qualifications must
be met before a person is eligible
for social security retirement.
Possession of a social security
card at the age of IS is not
enough. it is explained by James
+. Torbett, manager of the Great
Falls social security Office.
He said that while 10 full years
of work is enough to qualify any
body, older men and women can
draw social security retirement
payments even if they worked
less than 10 years. The exact
length of time depends on the
workers age. 1t may be as lit
tie as one and one-half years if
the worker was IS before July ],
1910. Ten years of work is re-
CURED only for those who will
not be 65 until 1857 or later.
Work done after IS counts to-
wards meeting these require
ments.
These qualifications may vary
according to the date of birth of
the worker.
Persons interested in further
information may contact Mr..
Torbett, who will be at the
Sherburne Hardware on Wednes-
day, December 81 between l and
2 p. m.
