Wage Total Drops In December

WASHINGTON R)-Wage and salary payments to Americans de- clined in December for the first time since early last year, the commerce department reported this week. 4
 An immediate result was rise in unemployment compensation payments.
 Both developments were due chiefly to a drop in factory en- ployment, the department said.
 It reported that December wage and salary payments were at an annual rate of $137, BOG, 0,00O, 900 compared with rate of $l38,0O0,- 000,000 in November.
 But despite this decline in the wage-salary rate, the department said, all types of personal income payments in December were aN the highest rate ever recorded for any December. They were at an annual rate of $220, 300, 100000.

government decree bans sale of the narcotic cep by confirmed addicts who must furnish exhaustive details to the police before being authorized their daily ration of one gram.
 Since 1946 opium had been distributed only through specialized hospitals, where physicians issued special certificates to those addics whose condition made inn peratve that they continue to receive controlled and limited quantity of the drug. Critics argued that these hospitals were abused and that of them became like camoufaged opium dens because physicians were too freely releasing the amounts of the narcotic under their control
 In future those addicts who if deprived of their daily dose of opium, might die become seriously ill., must undergo intensive examination from the police be- fore receiving smoking license" They must give their identity age address, profession, details about their family the amount of their income, and the qua-
 ty of opium they thing they require Photographs and officially stamped documents must accompany this in- formation If the authorities decide he really requires it, the addict may then receive his daily grabut the whole neghborhood is likely to know about his vice
 But with the official banning of the drug, increase in smuggling is feared.

Cdncer Now Second
As Killer Of Children

Cancer, including leukemia
and Hodgkin'S disease, is now
the second ranking cause of
death among children. At the
f1ve-to nine-year-age period it
leads all other diseases as a
killer, StatiSticianS of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany in New York report from
a study of children insured in
the company's industrial de-
partment.
Deaths from the four prin-
clpal communicable diseases of
childhood, scarlet fever, diph-
liberia, Whooping cough and
measles, are now so few they
are becoming a rarity, the COM
pany'S records show. The big
measles year in 1948 brought
deaths from this disease above
the all-time low, but the 1913
figure of 0.5 per 10000 for the
industrial policyholders is con-
sidered Favorable"
In the general population OF
the United States cancer, leu
kemia and Hodgkins disease
now kill well over 1000 children
each year. The death rate
among the insured children was
IL per 100000 in the period
1943-47, an increase of about
1919 since 1930-34.
The increase was slightly
greater for boys than girls, and
the cancer death rate among
boys is now nearly one third
higher than among girls.
Leukemia is the most COM
mon type of fatal cancer in
children. :.
while the figures on cancer
in childhood do not make
cheerful reading, the situation
looks worse than it really is"
the StatiSticianS state.
Actually a part Of the record
ed increase in the mortality,
they explain, is probably spur
iouS," reflecting more accurate
diagnosis. An increased proper
ton of children with cancer
are getting medical attention
earlier in the disease. An in
creasing number are surviving
five to ten years after treat
ment, the statisticians reassure.
They urge parents and teach
ers to give increasing attention
to abnormal signs and symp-
toms which may mean cancer
in children. Unusual mental or
emotional behavior, they point
out, may give the first clues to
brain tumors in children.

SUMMER SCHOOL VETS
NEED VA CERTIFICATE
World War III veterans plan
ming to attend school this sum-
mer under the GIL. Bill should
make immediate arrangements
to obtain certificates of eligible
ity from the Veterans Admins
tration.
The certificates, the VA ex-
plains, must be turned over to
the school or college at time OF
enrolment. They serve as basis
for payment of tuition, SubsiS-
tence and other fees by the VA,
Veterans already in school,
but who are planning to trans
fer to another institution this
summer, as well as those not
now in training will need the
certificates. Also, veterans hold
ing unused certificates issued
by the VA before September 1,
1913, should exchange them for
a new type. !.
The new type certificates
contain the notification neces-
sary for payment of VA tuition
and subsistence. They are,
therefore, acceptable without
question by other VA offices
and schools. Old-type ,certifi-
Gates are not acceptable by
either the VA or schools until
verified.
Since it takes about 30-dayS
to verify the certificates, the
VA urges veterans to apply for
them well in advance of their
entrance into training to avoid
last-minute PUSHES or delays.
Veterans now in school who
will interrupt their training
during the summer months and
return to the same courses and
schools next fall do not need
supplemental certificates, the
VA pointed out.
Application may be made for
the new certificates in person
at any VA office or by mail to
the VA regional office or center
