friend of Harold Ware at Penn State wrote me recently;
 q visited him several times while he lived at the Single Tax Colony at Arden, Delaware, at which times I met his mother, at that time a very dynamic intelligent woman. The residents of Arden were Q queer lot. You would call them intelligent, but they all seemed te have queer ideas about economics and politics" s."
 He continued.
 "They usually had a town meet ing on Saturday night, when they discussed all manner of subjects. They called themselves socialists then, and I remember they used to stress the point, that the way to gain control of the government was to get their people into key positions in the various depart ments in Washington. :"
 After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, Harold Ware and some of his friends decided to go ta that country to teach the Russians how to improve agriculture, which they did.
 The aforesaid friend concludes:
 ". I can't think that he (Har- old Ware originally thougt of be- traying his country. He was like the other socialists I have met. They think sincerely that state social ism would be good for the country. If by any means at their command they can bring it to pass they feel that they will have done a service to their country. That is the dan

WARNING TO LABOR

This is addressed to workmen skilled and un- skilled in the States who are contemplating rush to Alaska.
 Don't
 Don't come north unless you have position, or rather job, for certain.
 Don't come north, if you have that job, until late in April or later, and then be to have enough cash in your jeans which to spend for subsistence until the job is ready.
 This is no idle war--:.2g, but down to earth cold fact
 Everywhere in Alaska, right now, are plenty of both skilled and unskied workers for the few jobs that may open within the next few weeks The major ity have been jobless for the past several months because of winter and they all ready for the job when it opens.
 Take for instance Juneau. There are at present 479 unemployed at the present time This is accord ing to Cedamae Cammock, Secretary of the Central Labor Council A. F. L. In past years, she says, the majority of unemployed have been absorbed when weather permitted construction projects to begin.
 Here is another straight statement on the labor situation made by Gissberg manager of the local Territorial Employment Service, speaking of the mid winter slump We starting to get out of the woods now and there hopeful signs that within 30 days the number of unemployed should be cut down con-

Who'll Be the First?
Seattle Times)

Seattle TlmeS)
 Twelve leading American scientists have urged the United States to agree not to be the first to use the H bomb That would be the high minded and maghanl- nous position for this nation to take to be sure and it seems likely that things might happen that way. Certainly the United States would not use any sort or bombs without declaration of following extreme provocation.
 Such provocaton might indeed be an attack on American soil And if the initial onslaught were made with an H-bomb, the United States would have no recourse but to retaiate in kind. But suppose the attack were made with some less lethal weapon, wouldn't the United States be justified in using the H-bomb first if that seemed likely to end the war; It is something to think about, and we would not envy President forced to make the decision
 In any case if we should ever decide not to be the first to use the Hbomb let us not tell the world about it. That would be the nth degree of altruistlc foohardineSS.

gerous angle to Communism. The cunning Russians have played on their credulity and are using them to undermine our country and weaken it. It is too bad that Ware wasn't killed before he organized his cell.
 "It seems almost unbelievable how much mischief has been accom- plished, and how much more is in the making"
 Harold Ware at one time was married to Jessica Smith, who is editor of Soviet Russia Today" After Wares death, Jessica Smith became the wife of John Apt, who has had an interesting career in the government of the United States and who refused to testify before a Congressional Committee as to Communist utilization on constitutional grounds.
 Harold Wares mother, often re- ferred to as Mother Bloor, is really Ella Reeve Ware Omholt. A lead ing Communist, member of the Party's national committee and for a number of years also on its politbureau, Mother Bloor has be- come an elder statesman of Am erican Communism, her birthday being noted with ceremony. She started as a single taxer in a col ony in Arden, Delaware, and has been in various labor and radical movements.
 The name, Bloor, arose curiously. Her own story is that Upton Sin clair was it's author years ago, when the Chicago stockyards were being investigated after Sinclair had written "The Jungle" Sinclair asked Ella Reeve Ware to come to Chicago to assist him and she brought along a Trenton pottery worker, Richard Bloor, with whom she claims there was never any TO- nance. Sinclair introduced them as MT. and Mrs. Bloor and the name stuck. Bloor, who was a Welsh man, returned to England and was killed in World War I.
 Mother Bloor had four sons, to whom she refers as Harold, Buzz, Dick and Carl, and two daughters, Grace and Helen. The Buzz in terested me because while she pro vides the others with their given names, she only uses nickname for this son. Buzz's given name is Hamilton, who was art director of the Federal Housing Administration. More recently, Hamilton Ware turned up as chairman of Henry Wallaces Progressive Party for the State of Delaware.
 Of Harold Ware, Mother Bloor wrote:
 Hal gave ten years Of his life to work in Soviet Russian. When it was clear that the cause of mechanized farming was won in the USSR, and that Russian farm CTS, already collectivized, no longer needed him as much as the Amerl- can farmers did, he came back to take charge of the Party's agrarian work here. The farm activities have described in other chapters, in which I took part, were devel- oped and expanded under his in sciration and leadership" She does not describe his Washington cell.

OLD-AGE SOCIAL
SECURITY PLAN
How to Secure Information
Relating to Federal 0ld-Age
and Survivors, Insurance
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Questions relating to Federal
-Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
viii be answered in this paper or
by mail. Address all queries to
Social Security Administration,
Custom House, 9th and King SITS,
Wilmington.
Q. Does a person have to be in
need before he can claim benefits ?
A. No. This is an insurance pro-
gram. A retired worker, his wife
or widow, and minor children may
qualify for benefits without regard
to their financial resources, such
as savings, property, or other in
surance. Husbands, widowers, and
parents, however, must establish
that the worker on whose record
they claim benefits had been furn-
fishing at least half their support.
Q. Can a person receive monthly
insurance benefits if he has earn
fngs from work?
A. Beneficiaries ages rs and
over may receive benefits regard
less of the amount of their earn
ings. A beneficiary under that age
will have his benefits suspended if
he does more than limited
amount of work. If he works for
wages in covered employment, he
may earn as much as $50 in a
month and still accept his social
security check for that month. If
he engages in covered self-employ-
ment and his earnings are in ex-
cess of $500 during taxable year,
lhis benefits are not payable for
those months in which he is so en-
gagged.
When an individual works for
wages which would cause a sus-
pension of his benefits or is engag-
ed in self-employment and expects
to have net earnings from self
employment which may result in a
suspension of benefits, he should
report to the nearest social secur-
ity field office Immediately.
@. Can a person receive monthly
insurance payments if he has in
come from any sources besides
earnings from work?
"A. Yes. Once a person has quail
fled for benefits, he may receive
payments even though he has in
come from capital investment,
such as annuities, rentals from
real estate, dividends from stocks,
or interest on bonds.

Sweet Home

of making the room look a lot
bigger than it really is.
Jim agreed that the closets
under the caves gobbled up q
lot of floor space and that a big
Venetian blind across the entire
window wall might create the
illusion of Spaciousness.
We had settled for prosaic
white Stats and tapes but the
dealer = backed by a flock of
gorgeous sample color books
changed our minds. We had no
idea of the multitude of new
hueS now available in both Stats
and tapes.
If we wanted height, the deal
er said, we might choose Stats in
a color to match our walls but
use tapes in a really contrasting
tone to provide definite vertical
lines. Being difficult, we reported
we wanted to have the illusion of
both height and width.
That didn't stump him. He eX-
planned that a few contrasting
colored Stats, placed strategically
in the Venetian blind would
make the room seem wider;
therefore, we might try both diff
ferent colored Stats plus tapes to
effect our visual trick.

her win it.
Senator Taylor, she said, made
the 6-foot man out Of 1870 pounds

be all right as long as I'm watch
ing it," She and her son, Arod,
did the honors for Idaho at the
