~ A ContributorY Insurance Sys-
tenn.
Employers & employees would
each contribute to the System, be-
ginning in 1850, 1R% of the wages
paid or received. The Federal Gov
eminent would approximately
match these contributions. Bene-
fits to retired employees would
vary according to the number of
years each has contributed to the
program and the amount of salary
on which his contributions have
been paid. For a person who has
been insured under the system
for 10 years, benefits would
amount to about 500 of wages
earned up to 500 a month plus
1919 of the wages earned between
500 and $500 a month. A mini
mum benefit of $25 per month is
recommended. Benefits would be
payable when a worker reaches
the age of IS years or if and when
he becomes unable to work be-
cause of a permanent or total dis
ability. Additional payments
would be made for dependents of
retired workers, and dependent
survivors of workers would also
receive benefits.
BY the new Act, coverage would
be extended to practically all en-
ployment, including self-styled
persons, domestic servants, and
even employees of state and To-
cal governments, provided the
governments and their employees
elect to be covered and pay the
contributions required. Farm en-
ployment would not be covered.

pate are $50 per month for adults
in the first, second and fourth cal
tegories, and $18 per month for
the first child and $12 per month
for each additional child in a de-
pendent family. Thus the Federal
around.
Government would contribute to
the Islands a maximum of SIS per
month for adults, and SO and SIG
per month for children.
The Federal Government would
provide 500 of administrative
costs for all the public assistance
programs in the Islands, as in the
States.
In justifying the difference in
the participation of the Federal
Government in the public assist
ance program in Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands as compared
with the United States, the Com
mittee stated as follows in its Re-
port:
Your committe believes that it
would be reasonable to partici-
pate in assistance costs in Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, but
recommends doing so on a basis
different from that recommended
for the States and Territories. The
economy of the Islands is at a
lower level than that on the main
land. Furthermore, in the case of
Puerto Rico, your committee took
into consideration the fact that
Puerto Rico retains the Federal
excise taxes that it collects in
stead of turning them in to the
Federal Treasury and that the Fe-
deral income taxes are not appli-
cable there.
Federal share of assistance
costs within the maximum would
be one-half for all types of assis-
lance and for administration. This
is the original matching ratio in
the Social Security Act for old
age assistance and aid to the
blind and is more liberal than the
original ratio of one-third for aid
to dependent children"
For Child Welfare Services, the
bill would increase the basic al
lotment to each State (same for
the Virgin Islands) from $4,000
to $4,000, the remainder of the
allotment being based on the re-
lative population of each State.
Despite the fact that the bill
would not treat the islands liber-
ally as the States of the Union, |
the help it would give in our pub
lie assistance and welfare work
would be tremendously important
and valuable, doubling at every
point the funds available for aid
and for cnrUciac for fhn nnndv In /

THE year l947 was the worst
in recent history, despite its slow
beginning, so we do not yet know
what this year will bring.
Scientists do not yet know the
whole story of how polio spreads,
but your health department is
doing everything posSible-every-
thing now known to be effective.
THE great need now is for each
person and each family individu-
ally to do what is known to be
helpful: Avoid getting too tired;
avoid overheating and chilling;
avoid crowds as much as possible;
stay clean; keep your place clean,
with wrapped garbage, screened
windows and sprayed houses.

Not Much Baseball but Lots Of Fun in Lions Kiwanis
Grudge Game Here Tuesday; Official Winner Undecided

\ Nobody saw much baseball but
3everyone had a good time as the
Lions Club defeated the Kiwan-
ians Cor was it the other way
around) in a "grudge" game play
ed at Memorial Athletic Field
4Tuesday night.
4 Partisans of the Kiwanis teap
claim their favorites came out
of the tilt on the long end of the
2score; Lions Club fans declare
just as stoutly that their team
won. One thing is certain, there
were lots of runs, lots of hits and
Slots of errors on both sides.
But not much softball.
4Lions Club up First
The Lions club was first at bat,
4 despite the fact their manager,
Hap Coleman, won the toss. They
scored two runs before the XII
wanians accidentlly nipped the
rally. In their half of the first
frame, the Kiwanians tailed
three runs, then pulled into a
.9-2 lead in the second and third
stanzas.
J But the Lions Club came back,
successfully if not strongly, to tie
the score and go into the lead
themselves. Since no official
score was kept, and everyone
else was laughing ar arguing too
much to keep track of it, there is
some doubt as to who was in
front as the game mercifully end
ed.
Biggest winner was the fines"
can of the Lions club, in charge
of Jerry Rohr. Every time a Lion
would make an error, or get put
out, he was fined nickel or
dime, depending upon the ser
iousness of the offense. One time
even the crowd was fined for
not making enough noise.
From time to time, Umpire
Lloyd Coder was fined, and even
members of the opposing XII
wants club were tapped on more
than one occasion.
Pitchers Get "Stimulant"
During the second inning,
Howard Winkle, Lions club pitch
er, weakened momentarily, but
was revived with some bilious
green liquid dispensed by Train
er" Clancy Haggard from a jug,
through long rubber tube. Later
in the game, Lions Manager
Coleman graciously used some
of the same (ughD stuff to re-
store the Kiwanians pitcher, Paul
Baldridge.
But the mixture must have
been far more effective for the
Lions than the Kiwanians be-
cause Baldridge was relieved by
Larry Brubaker on the mound
before the game ended, whereas
Winkle went the route.
Helping the cause of the XII
wanians CATER all, his Daddy,
Lloyd j., was manager of the
team) was Bill Wall who served
as announcer. His announce
ments did little to clarity the
issue, but he was in a position to
over-rule Umpires Coder and
Cliff Heimlich, and to add or
subtract scores as needed.
Some 800 persons witnessed
the debacle, and those who didn't
see it are sorry they failed to join
in the fun.

state, directing the life and activity
of every citizen.
There's little doubt now that the
people are concerned. They don't
want more taxes. They don't want
to see the budget go over the $40
billion figure, which seems so tre-
mendous for federal spending in
peacetime.
But the President in addition to
q budget of $42 billion, which is
SO billion more than he spent in
1947 under Republican Congress,
has urged Congress to adopt other
measures increasing this to almost
500 billion annually. OF these extra
proposals, the Brannan farm plan
in its full development might cost
Sc billion a year in subsidies, So
cialized medicine would cost an
other Sc billion, and universal mill
tary training another $4 billion.
Even without these extra pro-
posals,S our total national tax
burden, including taxes collected
by states and local governments,
today stands at $50 billion
year. 1t means that We all work,
on an average, more than one
day in every four for the govern
ment, Such a burden increases
prices for all consumers, kills the
incentive of individuals, and par
ticularly discourages those who
want TO start new businesses and
create new jobs.
M R. TRUMAN is indignant al

reason: because it will not approve

do for themselves, and undertaking
to direct all the details of the bill
lions of transactions which occur
each week in the United States.
Mr.. Truman denounces Congress
because it believes in a system as
suring liberty to our people; be-
cause it believes that we have be-
come the greatest nation in the
world only because of that liberty;
because Congress will not abandon
the free system which has produced
the high production, the high
national income and the high
standard of living, of which he
boasts. Excessive taxation is about
as certain way to sociallze the
country as any other way.
We have come to point where
we must determine the limit of our
tax burden and then cut our ex-
penses to meet our income and pay
something on the national debt.
Every individual in this country
has to give up things he would like
to have because he hasn't got the
money to pay for them. The
government is no different from
any individual.
1t is complete nonsense to say
that the government cannot cut
its expense. There is not a
bureau in Washington which
couldn't cut out 1870 of its per-
sonnel and be more efficient. An
average 1879 reduction would
balance the budget.
THE welfare of the world de-
Il pends more than any one thing
on the prosperity of the United
States. To recover from the pres
ent recession and to assure con-
tinued prosperity, the first firm
foundation must be a solvent eff
cient government.
The present Congress is not a
negative Congress, although its
greatest merit will be that it has
prevented measures which would
change the whole nature of our
government. Congress is fighting
for the cause of free government;
for equality in the relation of labor
and management, for equality in
the treatment of farmers and city
folk, for prosperity and full en-
ployment through sound fiscal and
credit policies, and for the liberty
of our farmers, workmen, business
men and housewives to live their
lives as they want to live them.
