U. s. Will Oppose Aggression Against Yugoslavia
WASHINGTON. (P)

WASHINGTON, (P) From President Truman to Marshal Tito, major target of Soviet threats: the United States is op posed to aggression against any nation.
 This is the word MT. Truman has instructed George V. Allen, his new ambassador to Yugoslav- ia, to pass on to the Tito govern ment. Allen is due to leave for Belgrade Dec. 28.
 Tito has been under heavy pres sure from the Russians since his break with Moscow more than a year ago. There has been specula- tion that sometime the Russians might try to break his power by means of guerrilla warfare.
 The United States and other western nations have given Tito economic and political assistance since he stormed out of the Sov- jet camp. But there never has been any official statement of what this country's policy would be in the event of a Soviet-communist at tack on Yugoslavia.
 Mir. Truman had talk with AL len, before his weekly news con- ference Thursday. He told Allen, he said, to state this governments policy to the Tito government. Then the President added that the United States is opposed to aggres- sion against any country no mat ter where it is situated.

Question Is:
 WEI Lewis Call Coal Strike Jan. l

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman's new refusal to step into the coal dispute set off more talk today of the possibility of a strike or lockout after Jan. 1.
 John L. Lewis miners will work only Tuesday and Wednes- day of the next two holiday weeks. After that the big question is whether Lewis will crack down hard and close the mines entirely in a real test of strength.
 Those who argue that this is Lewis plan think he adopted the three-day work week Dec. 1 just to put some Christmas money into the pockets of his hard-pressed miners.
 Having done that, some opera tors reason, he may call the dig gers out and try the big squeeze. This would permit operations only by those employers who sign a contract for a 35-cent tonnage welfare royalty and $15 daily wage.
 Even the three-day work week is pinching the operators.
 President Truman would not offer any opinion at his news con- ference yesterday on whether the three day week was causing an emergency.
 He reiterated that if an emer- gency develops he will take the necessary action to halt it-pre- sumably by seeking an 80-day in- junction under the Taft-Hartley act, which up to now he has avoided.

Pope Appeals For
 United W.OrldFrOnt Under Catholicism
(By Frank Brutto)

VATICAN CITY, (P) - Pope Plus XII appealed yesterday to all who believe in Jesus Christ to unite under the Roman Catholic church in a solid front against militant advances of atheism.
 The POpe's address, his annual Christmas message, was addressed to the whole world on the even of the 1850 Holy Year. There seemed little doubt that the address was an invitation to all those profess ing Protestant faiths to join with the Church of Rome.
 This coming Holy Year, the Pon- tiff said, must be decisive, espe- cially for the longed-for religious renewal of the modern world"
 "Oh that this Holy Year would welcome also to the great return to the one true church, awaited over the centuries, of so many who, though believing in Jesus Christ, are for various reasons separated from her," he said.
 With unspeakable groanings, the spirit, who is in the hearts of good people, today cries out implor- ingly the same prayer of our Lord: that they may be one"
 The Pope also expressed hope that those who have been mem- bers of the Roman Catholic church and have strayed away would re- turn to the fold like the prodigal son.
 Apparently the Pope, in refer ring to militant atheism, meant communism but apparently he re- ferred both to communism and to the extremes of capitalism when he said:
 "In the social field, the coun- terfeiting of Gods plan has gone to its very roots by deforming the divine image of man. Instead of his real, created nature with or igin and destiny in God, there has been substituted the false notion of man whose conscience is a law unto himself. ."

HOW TO QUALIFY

To receive monthly old-age in
surance payments when you are 65
you must be "fully insured" and
you must file an application
To be 'fully insured" you must
work about one-half the time under
social security. Actually we figure
it this way:
First, we. figure the number of
quarters from January 1,
1887, until the quarter in which you
reach 65. Now divide this number
by two, because you must have one
quarter of coverage for each two
uarters elapsing during this time.
A "quarter of coverage" is simply
calendar quarter in which you are
paid at least $50 wages under social
security.
Where the number of quarters of
coverage required would figure less
than 6 or more than 40 quarters,
the law says you must have at least
6, or on the other hand that you
need not have more than 40.
If you were born on or before
July 1, 1875, you will need only 6
quarters of coverage in order to
receive a monthly old-age insurance
payment. If you were born after
January 1, 1891, you will need 40
quarters of coverage in order to be
fully insured and to get a payment
at age 65.
This rule tells how to figure how
many quarters of coverage you
need, but quarters of coverage may
be earned at any time, even after
IS. During the war some persons
past IS went to work for the first
time under social security and be-
came eligible for monthly retire
ment benefits.
This is the second in a series of
articles on your Social Security. In
our next issue we will discuss GA
mily Benefits"
For further information consult
your Social Security office, located
at 203 Flatiron Building, in Ashe-
vile, or meet the representative
when he visits your county.

Registered Jersey
Sold To Rod Brown

Columbus, O., September 28-
Rod Brown, of Ashford, has pur,
chased the registered Jersey, Nc
DowelT Foundation Beauty, from
the herd owned by Tommy Wilson,
Of Marion, N. C.
Jerseys are registered at the ma
tionaI office of The American Jer-
sey Cattle Club in Columbus, Ohio
The Club has kept complete records
on all registered Jerseys in the
United States since 1868.
Jerseys are especially noted for
producing milk that averages more
than per cent butterfat. The
breed also calves and begins pre-
ducing milk from three to six mon
tbs sooner than other dairy breeds
This means faster herd building and
earlier milk checks, and makes Jer-
seys increasingly popular with
dairymen.
