Der, benefits are never paid auto
matically. They must be applied
for.
Q. understand that benefits are
conditioned upon workers fully
insured status. When is person
fully insured?
A. An individual has a fully in
sured status if he has acquired the
necessary number of quarters of
coverage. A quarter of coverage
is any three month period begin
ming with January 1, April 1, July
1, or October 1 in which you are
paid wages of at least $50 in en-
ployment covered by the Social
Security Act. A worker is fully
insured when he has been paid
wages of at least $50 in at least
half the number of calendar quar-
ters as there are between January
l, 1887 when the program began,
and the quarter in which he be-
comes 65, or dies. Once a worker
has acquired 40 quarters of cover
age, he is fully insured for life.

Playing alongside the 24-year-
old DeMars probably will be Bill
Sommers. a second baseman who
only batted .258 for San Antonio,
but who was injured a large part
OF the season. The Browns are
high on him and expect to open
with Gustine. DeMars, Sommers
and Hank Arft, first baseman, as
the infleld.
The Browns best bet is their
outfleld. Roy Sievers, who hit
.306 as a rookie, and Dick Kokos
are set. The third regular may
be Ken Wood. a .283 hitter for
Baltimore with a fine arm. In
addition. there's the veteran Ray
Coleman. who hit .295 for Buff
falo, and a 21-year-old kid named
Rocco Ippolitto. both of whom
came from the AS in the big deal.
The only holdover department
is catching, where Sherman Lol-
lar and Les Moss hold forth.
Moss hit .291' for 81 games last
year but Lollar. despite his .261
average in 109 games, is acknowl-
edged to be the better hitter.

Gus mixture of veterans and kids.

his wiZardry at the game could

The two injuries kept him in

Several bones in the injured hand
