LONDON, Sept. 15.-tR-Inform- ed British political sources said to- day they believe the three-nation Washington dollar accord has averted an autumn general elec- tion in Britain.

 Government officials were silent on the election issue. They said only that the 10-point program laid down yesterday by U. S., British and Canadian economic experts has staved eff immediate widespread unemployment and short time work in England.

 Hundreds of the city's residents rushed to the aid of the 100 or more patients in the l25-bed hos pital. But they were hampered by falling bricks and rubble, and the danger of falling walls.

Workers Urged To
Check S. s. Number

Check your social security
number on your pay envelope or
paycheck stub and make sure
that the number agrees with the
number on your social security
card" This advice was given to-
day by Robert B. Youmans, man.
ager of the GAINESVILLE office of
the Social Security Administra-
ton. Mr.. Youmans pointed out
that most employees are con-
scientious in trying to report
each workers social security
number correctly, but it is only
human to make mistakes occas-
ionally. Each person who works
under social security should be
certain that his wages are re-
ported under his correct social
security number and correct
name, as they appear on his So
cial security card.
when worker has social Sc
curity taxes deducted from his
pay he is paying premiums on
valuable insurance. This insur-
ance helps to provide financial
security in the workers old age

after retirement. 1t also provides
for valuable insurance payments
to the eligible survivors if a
worker dies at any age, Mr..
Youmans said. TN order for a
worker or his survivor to be eli
gible to receive these insurance
payments, the workers wage
record as turned in to the gov
ernment by his employers, must
show that he worked under So
clal security a given length of
time. Also the amount of wages
credited to a workers account
determines the size of the bene-
fit checks that may be payable.
SO, 1t is to the workers advant-
age to have credit on his wage
record for all his wages. If his
wages are reported under the
wrong social security number" "
Mr.. Youmans concluded, there
IS the possibility that the work.
er may not get credit for these
wages and may consequently
lose benefits to which he would
otherwise be entitled"

Dean RulnInen
Speaks Before
$50 Delegates

"Take advantage of your op-
portunities," Dean L. L. Rum
NELL, of the College of Agricul-
ture, Ohio State University, told
delegates to the thirty-second
Ohio All club congress.
Urging them to seek better
health, more efficient use of the
hands, and an advanced educa-
ton, the dean said that never
in the history of the world has
youth had better tools to work
with in achieving success.
Presenting three stirring chal-
langes, Dean Rummell declared
Ohio rural youths should be as
concerned about their own health
as that of their club livestock.
He further emphasized educa-
ton as means of improving the
mind as well as providing the
means whereby they could be-
come "even better farmers anS
homemakers than their parents. y
Club work, he said, provided a
great inspiration to old and
young alike, and set pattern
for life in which each member
could leave the world a little
better because he had lived in
it."
More than $50 delegates, rep
resenting every county in Ohio,
attended this years congress.
Each delegate represented ap-
proXlmately 100 of Ohio'S more
than 10000 club members, ac-
cordlng to John Mount, assistant
All club leader, who explained
that one of the purposes of the
congress is to help equip these
representatives to assist with To-
cal club activities.
Each delegate will be expected
to make detailed report on the
congress to the various clubs in
his community. Many of the del
egates are taking advantage of
the opportunity of visiting the
university to make inquiries and
arrangements concerning enroll
ment in college after high school
