1000 Delawareans
Get S. S. Insurance

over three million retired work
ers more than 1000 of them in
Delaware), are now getting old-age
insurance payments. The three mil
lion mark was reached during July"
MyrOn MilbOuer, manager of the
Wilmington social security office,
said today.
The number Of retired workers on
the benefit rolls increased by almost
one million during the last two
years. In contrast, more than eleven
years had passed after the begin
ming of monthly social security in
surance payments before the two
million figure was reached in April
1851.
The more than three million per-
sons now getting old-age insurance
benefits based on their employment
or self-emplOyment in work covered
by the law are not the total of per-
sons aged 65 or over getting pay
ments, MilbOuer pointed out. "In
addition, more than a million and a
quarter peaple are getting monthly
benefits as the aged wives or depen-
dent parents of deceased insured
workers" he said. In Delaware, the
figure for these categOries approx
mate $500.
For all of the three million re-
tired-wOrker benefciaries the aver
age Old-age benefit being paid at
the end Of June was a little over
$50 monthly. OF these, about 55O, 900
were receiving benefit payments
based on employment or self
employment after 1850. Their aver
age was about $65. This higher
average is due to two main factors.
First, earnings in general are much
higher and more regular in the
period since 1850 than they were in
the period from 1887 to 1850. Also,
before 1851, the highest annual
earnings that could be counted to-
ward social security benefits was
$4,000, while monthly wages or
self-emplOyment net income up to
$3,6O0 a year can be counted after
1850.
OF the 591, 1000 insured workers
who were added to the Old-age
beneficiary rolls in 1852, about one
third were just reaching age 65.
Some of them retired because of
age limitations for employment;
others in this group had left work
because of illness or disability.
The majority of those who quail
fled for Old-age benefits in 1862,
however, had continued in gainful
work after age 65. The Departments
statistics show that the average
age of persons who started getting
Old-age insurance payments in 1852
was 68.6 years for men and 6S.2 for
women. About IL percent of the
new beneficiaries were age IS or
over.
Many of those receiving Old-age
insurance payments were able to
qualify for benefits because of 1850
to the law extend
social security coverage to the kind
Of work they were doing. Benefits
Tor persons aged So to rs are pay
able if they are retired from work
covered by the law or are not
earning more than SIS a month from
wages in such work or an equiv
llent amount of self-employment in
come. After age rs. benefits are pay
able without regard to the amount of
earnings the beneficiary receives,
the local manager declared.
In the nation at the end of June.
a total Of Sc million people were
getting Old-age and survivors in
surance benefits at a monthly rate
Of S233 million. This included child |
rem and young mothers in families
where the insured breadwinner had
died.

De Gasperi Rated 70 Win
As Italian Elections Near
BY the Associofed Press

ROME, June 1.-Italy's turbu-
lent parliamentary election cam
paign went into it's final week
today with Prime Minister Alcide
de Gasperi conceded a better
than-even chance to retain his
tight grip on the government.
Approximately 80 million Ital-
ians are expected to go to the
polls next Sunday and Monday
to vote for Prime Minister De
Gasperi'S center coalition, the
Communist-Socialist left or the
Neo Fascist and Monarchist
Right. Contested are the 500
seats in the Chamber of Deputies
and 237 in the Senate.
BY law, campaigning ends Fri
day, SO hours before the polls
open.
Between now and then all
parties are expected to step up
the tempo Of a campaign that
so far, by Italian standards, has
been reasonably free of incidents.
Italy's big Communist Party,
which is fighting a last-ditch
struggle to remain a power in
Italian politics, has been particu-
larly mild in its electioneering.
There have. been no savage Com
munist-inspired riots such as
marked the last general election
in 1948. and only a few scattered
mild strikes.
