Haul Tons of Sand
From Arizona For
New Lancaster Film

HOLLYWOOD \ Paramount
is bringing the Arizona desert to
Hollywood. It's coming in 20
huge truckloads of sand--sever-
al hundred tons-from the
dunes of Yuma where Hal Wal
lis Rope of Sand" has been
filming on location.
While key scenes were made
on the desert itself, it will be
necessary to recreate certain
sets on the studio stages. Ari-
zona sand has certain color and
packing peculiarities found no
where else and photographs un-
like othe sand, and so to match
three studio shots with the des-
ert scenes the same type of sand
must be used.
Rope of Sand" is story of
intrigue localed in the South At
rican diamond mine country,
and the Arizona desert location
was selected because of its close
resemblance to it.
Burt Lancaster, Paul Hen
reid, Corrine Calvet, Claude
Rains and Peter LORE topline
the stellar cast.

Seventy-five cents per hour
isn't a very attractive wage
but it is an improvement over
the present la w permitting
the minimum payment OF 4Oc
per hour. Living costs GER
tainly justify the lift from
40c to 75c. The c. l. O. has
been striving for a minimum
of $1.O0 per hour and it is not
excessive in the light of our
living standard in the last few
years. feel reasonably sure
that sometime in the future
the minimum standard will
be $1.00 per hour-our or
ganization has not lowered
our sights on this amount and
we shall keep fighting for it.
1t is estimated five million
workers will benefit by the
proposed increase; about a mil
lion and a half of these work
ers earn less than the 4Oc per
hour. This is less than $500
per week. Outrageous but new
ertheless true.
Those who opposed the bill
for 75c per hour minimum play
ed up the farmer angle, pre-
tending the increase wou ! d
bankrupt farmers because the
farmer would, thru necessity,

amusing, and at times pathetic
to hear arguments against pay
ing decent wages.
OF course the bill still re-
tains the 40 hour week, with
payment of time and half Tor
all work over 40 hours. This is
in our present law and you may
be sure labor unions are most

200. 900 Ohio
Workers Covered
By SocioI Security

An estimated 10000 workers
in Ohio now have lifetime pro-
lection for themselves and their
families, and are therefore per-
manently covered under the
Federal old-age and survivors
insurance program, Mr.. Wayne
w. Putnam, manager of the To-
ledo office of the Social Secur-
ity Administration, said today.
These workers have been en-
ployed sufficient length of time
on jobs covered by the plan to
be fully insured in the system,
Mr.. Putnam said. The permanent
rights apply to monthly retire
ment benefits at age 65 and to
survivors benefits for a worger's
family when he dies at any age.
The average worker is per-
manently insured if he has been
paid wages in social security en-
Iployment of at least $50 in each
of forty calendar quarters. Those
who attain IS years of age be-
fore 1857, need from to 80
q uarters of employment, the
number in each case being deter
mined by the date on which age
65 is attained, Mr.. Putnam point
ed out.
The amount of the insurance
payment is determined by the
wages reported by employers to
the Social Security Administra-
ton and the number of years the
worker has been in covered jobs.
At this time the m n m u m
monthly benefit is $40 and the
maximum S45.20. Payments to
aged wives, children under 18
years of age, and dependent pa
rents equal half the workers in
surance benefit. Widows pay
m n is are three-fourths the
amount the worker would re-
ceive. A family may receive as
much as $85 month or min
imum of $40.
Mr.. Putnam said many work
ers and their survivors lose pay
ments amounting to millions of
dollars annually, because they
fail to file their applications
promptly or neglect filing at all.
The Social Security Admins
tration has recommended to the
Congress an crease in the
amount of benefits, the expan-
sion of the program to % mil
lion people not presently includ-
ed under the law, and provision
for benefits for permanently
disabled workers, Mr.. Putnam
said.

standard by fighting for such
concessions over the course of
many years. This is one in
stance, among many, where un-
organized workers benefit di-
rectly from the fight that has
been put up by labor unions.
Not all employers are opposed
to this bill. Many of them. see
the necessity of this protection
not only for the worker but for
their business. 1t is difficult to
meet the cut-throat competi-
ion of a plant that pays around
40 cents per hour; the plants
are generally located in the
south, in unorganized areas and
in places where manufacturers
are able to browbeat labor and
keep them scared.
If favorable action is taken
on this bill it will mean that all
manufacturers will have q
equalized minimum base, ans
that an efficient plant will not
have to suffer because of low
wages paid by sub-marginal
producers.
Like all legislation, liberal
enough to help the worker, this
Fair Labor Standards Act oi
N1949 will face a stiff fight in
Congress. 1t has a good chance
of being passed - the South
will fight it like demons. Low
Southern wages have a direct
bearing on Northern wages; the
effect is felt by all of us. YOU
may be sure of, one thing, the
CIO. will be in the front ranks
fighting for this bill although il
is not all to our liking in every
respect
1t is my understanding Con.

Dropping The Pigeon

In reading the newspapers l find
that our people are still being lured
by Pigeon Droppers." A few days
ago, according to reports, a colored
lady was in the bank fixing to make
a deposit when she was accosted by
a pigeon Dropper' who influenced
her to take her funds out Of the bank
as it was unsafe, and turn the money
over to her in order that she might
90 around the corner and put more
oils in with hers.
1t does not seem possible, that in
this age and time when people have
been warned on every hand, through
the press and over the radio about
these Pigeon Droppers" that our
people would give their life savings
over to strangers who make them be-
lieve that they will increase the a.
mounts.

i've thar lie savings over to stran-
gers WiL refuse 10 give a dime to
worthy causes that they know are Q.
K. Friends beware Of strangers who
offer you more money for your mon
ey.
If you want to invest your money
wisely. why not invest it in United
States Savings Bonds and you viii
be sure of its dividends, but once YOU
turn it over to Pigeon Droppers"
here will be no return.
