URGE TREATY WITH CANADA
Sen. Frear Urges Ratification of
Treaty to Protect u. S. Citizens

Sen. Frear Urges Ratification of
Treaty to Protect u. s. Citizens
United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear has urged prompt Senate
ratification of a Treaty between
the United States and Canada, de-
signed to halt the sale of worthless
securities to American citizens.
in his weekly statement, Senator
Frear declared that many Ameri-
cans have unknowingly purchased
stocks from a group of Canadian
promoters, only to find them value
less. However, up to the present
time it has not been possible to
prosecute those guilty of the frauds
because existing agreements be-
tween the two countries win not
permit extradition. Mr.. Frear
pointed out that approval of the
pending Treaty should make it pos
sible to bring these violators to
justice. The Senator has written
to the Chairman Of the Foreign Re-
cations Committee, Senator Con-
naily, and offered the services of
mis- Senate Banking Subcommittee
an Fastening action on the Treaty.
Senator Frear said he, was appall-
ed to learn that interruptions in
dividuais have taken advantage of
weaknesses in existing laws to de-
fraud unlmowing American citi--
zens. He urged all prospective in
vestors to deal only with establish
err members of the Securities In
dnstries in the United States and
Canada.

This past year, says McAllister,
turkey consumption amounted to
SIS pounds per person, and the use
of chicken was 80 pounds, 2 pounds
more per person than in 1850. Al
most one-half of the poultry meat
came from specialized broiler areas
like Delaware. Twenty-one years
ago less than percent of our poul-
try meat came from commercial
broiler production.

$40 In MADISON COUNTY TO
GET INCREASED IS BENEFITS

The amended law allows social
security wage credits of $160 for
each month of active military or
naval service after July "a, 1947.
This provision is simply an exten-
sion of the one which already gives
social security wage credits to
Servicemen of World War ii. 1t
applies to service in the armed
forces up to January /, 1854.
OF advantage to the survivors of
deceased service people is a pro-
vision in the amended law ex-
tending the time for claiming a
lump-sum death payment. This ap-
plies to servicemen who'die abroad
and are later returned to the
United States for burial or re-
burial. Survivors who pay the
burial expenses may now claim re-
endorsement up to two years after

The World Today

WASHINGTON R,-The selec-
ton of Gen. Eisenhower and Gov.
Stevenson as presidential candi-
dates will go down as one of the
most extraordinary events in
American political history for
more reasons than one.
Both were reluctant candidates.
Great support had been built up
for both before either man actually
said he would accept nomination.
Eisenhower didn't say so until
last January although the cam
paign among his supporters to get
him nominated had begun long be-
fore that.
Stevenson never publicly said he
would accept until Friday before
the third and final balloting began.
Stevenson never said one word
in behalf of himself through all the
months when Sen. Kefauver, Sen.
Kerr. Sen. Russell and Averell
Hartman were making speeches
and looking for votes.
Eisenhower did not campaign at
all until the last month before the
Republican convention although
hisc hief rival, Sen. Taft, Travelled
through at least 38 states and
probably set an American record
for pre-convention speeches and
interviews.
Both men are newcomers TO poll
tics, Eisenhower even more than
Stevenson. The general had never
been in politics before.
Stevenson had taken no part in
politics until 1947 when he agreed,
after weeks of hesitation and soul
searching, to be Democratic cam
didate for governor of Illinois.
But perhaps more extraordinary
than all this is the fact that the
country as whole knew practic-
ally nothing at all about the think
ing of either man on domestic af-
fairs until shortly before the con-
ventions.
Everyone knew Eisenhower
views on international life. He was
a firm supporter of the Truman
administrators policy of standing
united with Europe and helping re-
arm it.
But, except for some scattered
statements he made while he was
president of Columbia University
statements which revealed very
little of his knowledge of domestic
affairs-the general public knew
almost nothing of Eisenhower S
thinking on affairs at home.
This didn't seem to bother the
people who voted in the state pri-
maries where they picked him, as
in New Hampshire, over Sen. Taft
who had spent years making his
views known.
1t wasn't until he came back to
this country last June that Eisen-
hover began to express opinions
on domestic problems
Except for some vague know
ledge about Stevenson-that he
had been a good governor in II
linois and had some experience in
the foreign field while working for
the State Department-the general
public didn't know much about
him.
This was the year the conven-
tinos turned their backs on the
professional politicians to pick
newcomers more on faith than
knowledge.

About $40 people in the Madison
County area will receive higher
social security payments as a re-
suit of the Social Security amend
ments which President Truman
signed into law last Friday. The
first increased checks will be for
the month of September, delivered
early in October.
c. c. Darby, manager of the
Columbus social security office,
emphasized that no one needs to
apply for the increased payments.
THE Social Security Administra-
ton is already changing the
amounts" he pointed out. I'VE ex-
pect to get them changed in time
to have them in the mail October
3, the regular delivery date, but
if in a few cases we don't meet
that schedule We'll send the regu-
lar check and make up the differ
ence in a later check"
Mr.. Darby pointed out that al
though nearly every family re-
iceiving payments would receive an
increase, the additional amount
would not always be divided among
all the members of the family re-
ceiving monthly checks. In some
cases the entire increase will go
to the retired worker
Under terms of the law, most
families will get an increase of
about $5; some will get less, some
will get more. A few benefits now
being paid, and most of those pay
able in the future, will be based
on earnings after 1850 instead of
after 1886. The amended law pro-
vides new formula for determin-
ing the amount of the payments in
these cases. Under it, retired
workers monthly benefit would be
$50 of the first 500 of his average
monthly earnings plus 1870 of the
remainder up to $500.
Beginning September l, the new
law increased to $75 a month in
stead of $50 the amount of money
a beneficiary may earn and still
receive the monthly benefits. Self.
employed people entitled to old.
age and survivors insurance bene.
fits may receive the payments fol
each month of the year of their
net earrings during the entire yeal
are not over $500.
The amended law contains pro
vision of special Importance t6
selfemployed people who have re-
tired or plan to retire during 1852
Before the passage of the amend
ments their earnings for the yeal
in which an application was made
could not be used to figure theil
old-age benefit payments. Now
those self-employed people wht
originally applied for benefits il
1852 may re-apply at the close o.
the taxable year and have theil
1852 earnings used in figuring
their monthly benefit payments
In general, this will increase the
monthly benefit payment to self
employed persons.
A similar change in the law nov

retire in 1852 to have their wage!
