Social Security
Explains Funeral
Expenses Clause

Persons who pay the funeral ex-
Ipenses Of worker insured under
Social Security cannot be reimbur-
sed from his Social Security ac-
count in every case. This state
ment was made today by Glenn H
Pittenger, manager of the Youngs-
town office of the Social Security
Administration, in response to nu-
merous requests for information
received from the residents of the
East Liverpool area.
"There seems to be a great deal
of confusion on this point" said
Mr. Pittenger. Reimbursement for
payment of funeral expenses can
not normally be made when a work
er leaves a widow surviving him.
The only exception to this rule oc.
ours when we find the worker and
his widow were separated at the
time of his death, and he was not
contributing anything to her sup
port.
"When there is no eligible widow,
the Social Security Administration
must next determine whether the
worker left any children under
eighteen or parents chiefly depen-
dent upon him for support. If chill
dren under eighteen or dependent
parents do survive, and they are
found to be Immediately eligible
for monthly payments, no reim-
bursement for funeral expenses
can be made. The funeral pay
ment can be approved only when
the close relatives mentioned above
have been eliminated from the pic

AFL Auto Workers
President Call For.
Congress Cleanup.

Milwaukee - Lester Washburn,
president of the AFL's United
Automobile Workers of America,
called upon all American workers
to rally behind labor's efforts to
achieve a house-cleaning in Con-
gress and to elect men and women
to office who would be truly rep
resentative of the people.
Washburn's comment came in
connection with a denunciation Of
the record of the S0th Congress as
a "dismal performance" He said:
an reviewing the record of the
S0th Congress, one is shocked by
the complete and open dominance
by big business and private inter
est Hobbies. Enactment of the Taft
Hartley Act is the prime example
of how the average worker was
sacrificed at the command of the
manufacturers associations. Not
only were American workers Grip
pied through specific legislation,
but the hasty action of Congress
under the prod of big business
shows a total disregard for the
great bulk of the American people.
With zooming prices admittedly
the nations No. l crisis, Congress
consistently refused to take any
action or exercise any control which
might interfere with industry's
ever growing margin of profits.
"On the question of public hous-
ing, the failure of Congress to en-
act the Taft Ellender- Wagner bill
or any alternate is glaring ex-
ample of the subjection of legisla-
tors to the real estate lobby. With
the housing shortage even more
acute than it was at the end of
the war, the desperate plight of
tens of thousands of evictees and
their families leaves Congress un-
interested and Indifferent.
"The Social Security Act, in
tended to be the bulwark of aged
workers, was weakened and en-
asculated by this Congress, and de-
spite the Presidents strong plea,
thousands of American citizens
were left bereft of its protection
and security.
"The list of Congressional fail
ures could extend indefinitely "a
civil rights program was ignored
raising of the minimum wage was
refused; repeal of the oleomarga-
rine tax was evaded, and a farm
price program weakened to the
point of complete ineffectualness.
''On the other side Of the ledger,
big business pulling the strings
found the 80th Congress much to
its liking, particularly with the
aid the rich tax bill, which sends
millions of dollars back into the
pockets of the big income boys,
while tossing crumb of few dol
lars a year to the average fam
lily. Exemption of railroads from
antitrust laws and almost anything
else the NAM desired found ready |
acceptance at the hands Of this |
S0th Congress.
