MARRIED REGISTRANTS
 IN LINE FOR INDUCTION

John L. Mccormick, Terri torial Director of Selective Serv- ice, announced that effective i'm mediately, any previous state ments issued regarding the in- duction of married registrants are not now in effect, and are superseded by the following.
 The responsibility rests with each registrant's local board whether the registrant's classifi- cation should be reopened and considered anew if the registrant reports a marriage after he is classified in Class IA, or reports such marriage after he has re- ceived his Armed Forces Physi- cal Examination, or after he is ordered to report for induction.
 If the local board is of the opinion that his marriage would not justify change in the regis trant's classification, then they have the power to refuse to re- open the case, and induct the registrant when his age group is called

Still Exceptions.
 Still excepted from social se- curlty coVerage are farm opera tors, ministers and members of religious orders, and certain self-employed professional peo- pie.
 A new type of payment is m h e S insurance benefits. These are monthly payments to a mother who has in her care child entitled to monthly insurance benefits. Separation or divorce from the wage earner does not prevent the mothers receipt of monthly benefits, pro- Vided the wage earner was fur nishing the greater part of her support. This changes the former law which did not permit pay ment to wives who were di- vorced, and did not permit pay ment to the wife of a retired wage earner until she reached 65. If she has children under Is, she may now receive benefits when her husband retires, even if she is under 65.
 Dependents Receive Mere.
 The amount of the benefit paid to dependent parents Gin cases where the parent was de- pendent on a deceased worker and where no widow or child can be entitled to benefits) was raised from half the workers benefit to three-fourths. The monthly benefit for the first child, in the case of a deceased wage earner, was also raised from half to three-fourths of the workers benefits.
 The benefits will continue to be paid for in the same way by payroll taxes on the workers and employers involved - but since self-employed as well as employed persons are now cov- cred, a new way of collecting part of the taxes was called for. Self-employed persons will re- port their annual earnings and pay their special social security tax (2A per cent to start With when they make their income tax returns at the end of each year.
 Self Employed Pay. ..
 Self-employed people, who are in effect both employee and employer, will pay 2A per cent through 1853, per cent until the end of 1859, 3s4 per cent until the end of 1864, Az per cent until the end of 1869, and 47s per cent thereafter, on the first S3,600 of net self-employ- ment income per year.
 The new law gives wage ere dits of $160 per month toward old-age and survivors benefits for military service in World War II. These wages are to be used in computing all monthly benefits payable on the basis of veterans wage records after 1949, whether the veteran died in service or after discharge, and regardless of whether pen- sion or compensation is paid by the Veterans Administration.
 Included in the social security program for the first time, and under special conditions. ara household workers regularly en- ployed in private homes. House, hold workers, including maids, cooks, laundresses, practical nurses, gardeners, chauffeurs, l etc., will receive credit only for their cash wages, and will not be covered by the law at all un- less they are employed "A days or more and their cash wages are at least $50 in the calendar quarter.

Changes In Social Security Grant Increased Payments

Here is what happened to old age and survivors insurance in the Territory of Alaska this week when President Truman signed the 1850 amendments to the So- cial Security Act.
 All monthly insurance checks now being paid to the 1875 social security beneficiaries in Alaska will be raised substantially, be- ginning with the September checks, according to James c. Browne, manager of the Juneau Field Office of the Social Se- curity Administration. Browne explained that these automatic increases, for September, are scheduled to reach local bene- ficiaries during the first week of October. Increases will range from about 50 per cent to about 100 per cent. For example, the average primary benefit of ap- proximately S26 per month for a retired worker will be increased to about S46. A widow with two children who had been receiving S55 month will now receive about $110 altogether.
 Under the new increases, total payments for September are estimated to be about S47,71O, or an immediate increase of some S21,460 monthly in insurance benefits to this area.
 More Earnings Allowed.
 Under the new law the amount of earnings which a beneficiary may make in a month, and still accept his insurance payment for that month, is raised from S14.99 to $50 This applies to | beneficiaries under age 75, and for earnings in job covered by social security. After attaining age 75, beneficiary may have any amount of earnings and still accept his insurance checks. 1 Employees of nonprofit chari- table, religious, and educational institutions will come under so. cial security only if the employer chooses and if two-thirds of the employees express a wish to par. ticipate. Employees of State anc local governments may have SO cial security coverage on an op tional basis but the State gov ernment must take the initiative if it chooses to participate.
 Many Now Eligible.
 Browne pointed out that any individual now age 65 or more who has at least six quarter! of coverage" may be immedi ately eligible for monthly bene fit payments. Many aged person. may now claim benefits ever though they have not been em ployed long enough to qualify under the former requirements Browne said that this would af feet considerable number o1 aged persons in this area who had once filed claims for socia, security benefits but had not al that time been able to qualify The social security office in Jul neau has been reviewing records for several weeks to screen as many as possible of these per. sons and will send letters noti. flying them that benefits may now be payable if the claim is renewed.
 Other persons not yet age 65 l-those now 63 and over-will 1 also only need six quarters of coverage-roughly a year and a half of employment in work cov- cred by social security-to be insured upon reaching age 65 and retiring. A sliding scale re- quires longer employment for those reaching age 65 after 1853, but in no case will a person be required to have more than ten

By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, June 26.-A 16-
year-old Queens youth was severe
ly bitten while swimming off
Rockaway Park today and a hos
pital doctor diagnosed his wounds
as possible shark bites"
The youth, Joseph Falango, was
reported in fair condition at

The hospital said wounds on
both feet and legs required Is
stitches.
Polio said young Falango and
two schoolmates, John Cronin, II,
and his brother, William Cronin,
16, all expert swimmers, were
swimming about $50 yards off
shore.
Police quoted Jchn Cronin as
saying that he heard young Fa-
Tango shout that he had been
bitten by a shark.
But the other two thought he
was kidding and began splashing
around in the water.
A moment later, young Cronin
said, he saw the fin of a fish dis
appear in the water.
In 1915 a shark led New York
City to install heavy wire shark
nets around city beaches.

discovered at $50 pm. The over.
turned boat was found floating al
point 6 miles above the lake dam
and 3 miles from Manassas. There
the lake is about 100 feet wide.
On top of the boat was a mans

more OF the victims had clung to
the boat as long as possible, await
ing help that never came.
Their days excursion had be-
gun from the dam. where the boat
was kept. During the afternoon
they were seen in the boat by C
w. Alpaugh, real estate dealer who
owns 6 miles of the lake region.
Mr.. Alpaugh's son, Woodrow
30, on the lake in a motorboat,
was one of the first to spot the
upset craft.
AS word of the accident spread,
scores of persons at the lake for
a weekend outing joined the
search, led by State Trooper P. P
Herndon. Darkness fell soon after
the boat was found, impeding
rescue efforts.
One theory was that the boat
overturned while one of the occu-
pants was re-fllling the motor

SECURITY FIRINGS - The
various Federal employe groups
have Joined in the fight to block
action on the bill approved by the
House Civil Service Committee to
permit Government departments
to fire employees summarily "in
the interest of national security"
The measure gives these powers
to the military and security agen-
cies, and also authorizes the Pres
ident to extend this summary dis
missal right to other civilian
agencies if he deems it necessary.
The employe groups will try to
have the measure pigeon-holed in
the House Rules Committee. Fail
ing that. they will seek to have
the measure amended on the
House floor to have it apply only
to military and security agencies
and to give employees in these
bureaus the right to an impartial
appeal.
The unions charge that the bill
in its present form would tear
down the merit system by making
any employe vulnerable to dis
missal on the whim of an admin
istrator."
