AL Leaders See
Truman On ERP

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Four
to pleaders of the AFL discussed
Ilabor's views on the European
Relief Program with President
Truman last week. They were
President William Green, Secre-
tary-treasurer G gorge Meany,
Chairman Matthew Vol of the
AFL's Free Trade Union Com.
mittee, and President George
Harrison of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks.
The AFL spokesmen stressed
the importance of advancing the
Marshall plan without any po-
litical strings which would inter-
fere wit hthe sovereignty of the
nation receiving the aid. They
told the President that economic
planning and varying programs
of socialization must be expected
in Europe. So long as neither
Communist nor fascist totalitari.
anism is involved, the delegation
said, America must recognize the
right of European peoples to plan
their own destinies.
The AFL also warned against
supporting reactionaries in any
way. The delegation asserted
that a democratic Europe, in
which free trade unions play a
vital role, must be the goal Of
the ERP.
To achieve this, the AFL pre-
sented to Truman a demand that
both in this country and in Eu-
rope organized labor be given
representation along with agri-
culture, industry and government
in the administration of any con.
trolls that the plan entails. Plans
for an AFL-sponsored confer.
ence of labor movements in all
countries participating in the
Marshall Plan were outlined to
the President.
Also discussed were the AFL's
demand for the return of all
prisoners of war to their own
countries ,and the AFLs sugges.
tionS for the unification of
western Germany.

Something
Workers
Should Know

Failure to file claims is caus.
ing many people IS and over to
lose benefits under Social Sc.
curity, a survey by the Toledo
office showed yesterday.
Mr.. Wayne w. Putnam, Man
ager of the local office said the
test was made to learn why these
persons who have been eligible
for some time delayed filing their
claims. The survey, covering a
period of three months revealed
that people falling to file claims
promptly sustained a substantial
total loss in monthly benefits.
Mr.. Putnam stated that inter-
views with these people indi.
Gated deplorable lack of under
standing of the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance program
under the Social Security Act.
Some said that when they left
their jobs it was because of ILL.,
ness, and that they intended to
return to work when their health
permitted. These people, Mr..
Putnam said, would have learned
if they had contacted the local
office, that a person 65 or over
who is eligible for benefits is en-
titled to monthly benefits for
any month in which he or she
has not earned more than $14.99
in covered employment. 1t is not
necessary to retire permanently
to receive benefits. Several of
those interviewed were of the
opinion that because they were
receiving unemployment COM
pensation payments they were
not entitled concurrently to bene-
fits under Old.Age and Surviv-
ors Insurance. Mr.. Putnam en-
phasized that they could draw
both.
One man after retiring from
his job went into business for
himself and thought that be-
cause of this he was not entitled
to Social Security. Self-employed
persons are not covered by So
cial Security, and therefore are
entitled to monthly payments un-
der NOld-Age and Survivors In.
sursnee regardless of the amount
of their monthly earnings.
Some of those interviewed be-
lieved that they must be in need,
before they were entitled to
monthly payments. Mr.. Putnam
explained that the Old-Age and
Survivors provision of the Social
Security is social insurance to
which the employer and en-.
ployee contributes. The worker
is entitled to benefits as mat
ter of right when he meets the
set forth in the
law.
Two of these people said they
were too i'll to come to the local
office. Such people should know
that the field representatives of
the Administration will call att
the home to help people make
claims when it is physically i'm
possible for them to come to the
local office. Under such condi.
ton, you may telephone or write
the Toledo office of the Social
Security Administration located
at SIS Madison Avenue. The
number is Main 3248.
Mr.. Putnam stressed the i'm.
portance of all persons approach
ing their 65th birthday to come
10 the local office and get a thor
ough understanding of their
rights. This applies not only toI
those who are retiring at 65, but
to those who intend to continue
on the job. To the latter, it will
be an assurance that when they
do retire they will not have lost
any benefit. The office hours
are 8:45 a. m. to 4:45 p. m. on
each weekday Monday through
Friday.

 Municipal Elections

LONDON. Nov 3.-tR-Britain' $ major party leaders rallied their forces for a new period of intense political activity today as they took stock of returns from Saturdays municipal elections. which observers of all leanings agreed had resulted in a setback for the ruling Labor Party
 Complete returns from the 338 English and Welsh Boroughs vot- ing showed the Conservatives made a net gain of 52l seats and Labor sustained a net loss of 652.
 Labor Party leaders frankly ad- mitted that the outcome was dis appointing" and Conservatives ac- claimed the result as sharp swing to the right which showed the handwriting on the wall.
 Even the staunchest Conserva- tive organs, however, refrained to- day from backing editOrlally the demands of Winston Churchill and Conservative Party chairman Lord Woolton for a national election to throw the Labor Government out.
 Lord Woolton said that the cleo tions showed that the voters of the country have no confidence in the government"
 The Laborite Cabinet met toGay and discussed the results of Sat urdays nationwide municipal elec- tions the worst beating the Labor Party has taken since it was swept into power in July, l945.
 Authoritative sources said Prime Minister Clement Attlee and his Cabinet discussed only informally the elections, which cost the party 644 municipal council seats. These sources said the formal discussion was about other government mat ters.
 That generally seemed to be the attitude of the Labor Party-not to express too much concern off, cially A high government source salo the Labor Party intended to carry out it's full Socialist program and would refuse to call special Parliamentary elections.
