Crime Study Enters New Phase
AS of today the investigation by
the Senate Committee into the OPP
erations of organized crime in inter
state commerce will enter a new
phase. Senator Kefauver, who has
done such a magnificent job in UNI
covering the ramifcations of GRIM
inal activities in the fields of gamb-
ling, narcotics, etc, will relinquish
the post which he has filled so ac-
ceptably and have agreed to serve
as Chairman with Senator Kefauver
remaining as an associate member.
Many far-reaching recommended
tions, legislatively and otherwise,
are contained in the Report being
submitted over which we have la
bored during the past thirty days. I
believe that, if put into effect, they
will go long way towards eliminat-
ing many of the conditions that have
served to make possible the spread
of gangster methods and the estab-
lishment of the crime empire which
has had a stranglehold on law en-
forcement in many areas of the
country.
l was one of those who felt that
the work of the Committee had been
so worthwhile that it should be con-
tinued Just which directions the
Committees activities will take for
the next four months, however, will
be determined only after a thorough
consideration of the fields still to be
covered in the specific areas in which
conditions cry most urgently for at
tention.
1t can safely be said that there is
much ground still to be covered
looking towards the protection of
the interests of our American citi-
bens against the violence and intirni-
dation of criminal elements. This is
one of the most important problems
facing the ration on the homefront. |
With the assistance, however, of /
the thousands of earnest and honest |
law enforcement officials, and with !
the support of all citizens who must
realize the threat to our country's |
judicial processes which such Grim
inaI activities as have been uncov-
cred present, Ihave every confidence
that the Investigations over the next |
four months will be productive of
far-reaching effects and will do
much to make racketeering less at
tractive in every way, particularly

Your New
Social Security
BY Ed r. Young

(Hagerstown Social Security Office
An important phase of the amend
ed Social Security law - one that
went into effect on September l,
1950-is, that relating to the World
War II veteran, and to survivors of
both men and women who served in
World War II.

within three years after discharge
from the Armed Forces, already
know Of the 1916 change in the So
cial Security law made for their
protection 1t was temporary pro-
lection. First, it applied only to
service people who died within that
Swear period. Second, it did not
apply if the Veterans Administration
could pay a pension or compensa-
ton based on the period of active
service. Third-and most important
it did not give credit for service

fits. This provision remains in eff

feet for the survivors of such serv-
icemen. However, if larger bene-
fit payments can be paid under the
1850 Amendments to the Social Sc
curity Act, the new section of the
law will be used.
What are the new provisions for
World War II servicemen? Well,
to begin with, they give $3.50 wage
credits for each month Of active
service between September 16, 1910,
and July "a, 1947. decomposition

count will be made, and such re-
computation is used in all cases

age or survivors insurance pay
mentS.
Unlike the 1916 temporary meas
ure,. the new provision is not af-
tected by any compensation or pen
sion that may be paid by the Vet
GRAMS Administration. The only
cases where the $3.50 service-con-
nected, wage credits will not be
given are those in which benefits,
other than a lump sum, are payable
under some other Federal plan, for
instance, Civil Service or Railroad
Retirement.
The $3.50 wage credits will be Civ
en- to, every serviceman who had 80
days or more of military or naval
service, within the dates mentioned,
and whose discharge or release from
service was not dishonorable. The
90-day provision does not apply if
discharge was, caused by injury or
disability, or death occurred while
in service.
Obviously. this $3.50 month serv-
Disconnected wage credit of the new
Social Security law will bring larg-
er benefits to present survivors of
servicemen and to the families of
veterans who die within the next
few years. Also, many World War
II ex-servicenen, now in the 5000
age group, will acquire old-age and
survivors insurance status through

Report From
Washington
By U. S. Senator Herbert r. O'Conor

With the Capital all agog over the
Joint Armed Services Foreign Re-
lations hearings, at which General
Douglas Macarthur will present his
views, beginning Thursday, there is
general satisfaction at the prospect
that results of the hearings will be
made public as far as security re-
quirements permit.
This is very greatly to be desired.
The only way to convince the peo-
pie of America that fullest use is be-
ing made of General Macarthur S
experience and knowledge of the Far
East is by official announcements
that at least would give assurance
that the views of General Macarthur
have been given fullest considera-
ton, and are being balanced against
the opposing views in other govern
ment circles, to the point where flu
ture policies will give official recog-
milton to all the facts that are pre-
sented.
l would certainly be concerned if
l thought the Committees were APP
preaching the hearings in any other
spirit. The announcement by Armed
Services Committee Chairman Rus
sell of Georgia that he has already
asked the Defense Department to
release for general publication as
much material as possible relating
to this historic conflict of views will
be sufficient, I am sure, to satisfy
our people that there will be no sup
preston of views and no attempt
made to pass over any opinions
which the former Far Eastern Com
mander may propose.
While there has been considerable
correspondence from all sections as
to the relieving of this great mill
tary leader, I am convinced that
basically, every loyal American is
anxious to see come out of these

Cities Can Compel 0aihs 0fLoya|iy from Workers.
 Supreme Court Decides

WASHINGTON, June - LR = Cities can compel their workers to take loyalty oaths but cannot fire them solely on grounds of past membership in the Communist par ty, the Supreme Court ruled today in 5-4 split.
 Specifically. the high tribunal held that municipal employees can be ordered to take oaths that for the past five years they (a) had not advocated violent overthrow of the government and (b) were not mem- bers of an organization which ad- vocated such violence.
 The majority declared, however, that a city must not impose pun ishment for past membership in the Communist party.
 The decision came on an appeal by IT former Los Angeles city work CTS first for refusing to sign oaths disclosing whether they were Con- munists party members.
 Their appeal said similar oath re- quirements have been put into ef- feet, or are planned, by many other cities.
 Justice Clark delivered the ma jority opinion on behalf of himself and Chief Justice Vinson and Jus tices Reed, Jackson and Minton.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 4 = !P-- Ketchikan Public Utilities of ficiais estimated today that it would cost close to s1O0,00o to replace the power unit that flew apart Satur- day.
 The accident left the city without electric power in the. middle of the annual salmon derby days celebra- tion
 A factory representative arrived by plane Sunday to begin rewind- ing a second unit that was shorted out by flood waters after the break
 The trouble started in No. 3 tur- bine at the city power plant. KPU Manager John Weir said the ma chimes governor failed to control it properly and it ran wild A shaft broke.
 Spokes of the eight-foot flywhee' flew through the roof into the street. Water from the penstock quickly shorted out the No. 4 unit nearby. It cut off nearly 5000 kilo- watt hours of power and flooded the powerhouse.
 Operators George Corbin and Claude Collins escaped injury from the flying pieces. Collins raced up the peristock to a tunnel to shut off the water, which was running down the street and flooding the baseball field.
 Weir said the Beaver Falls power units south of town, usually idle on Saturday, would be turned into the system when the switchboard dried out, but that the town will be short of power until diesel units can be obtained and the turbine replaced at the factory.
 The power shortage struck while several businesses had closed for the day. Others were forced to curtall operations.

 Rritain's embassy, under in- structions received from London last week, is the prime mover right now in the hunt for an avenue to peace. but the United States al- ready was operating along that line when the British move came.
