Treasury. moved into the old
fashioned Office Secretary Snyder
used to occupy.
That was the only immediate
change. Even Mr.. Snyder's pri-
vate secretary, Miss Mary Kelly.
and his receptionist, Mrs.
Jacqueline Quigg. stayed.
Five other Republicans soon
will join Secretary Humphrey in
top spots at Treasury, but the
change is coming so casually
that most Of the rank-and-file
workers have a minimum of fears
about the new regime.
Secretary Humphrey reaf-
f1rmed his moderate personnel
approach in a statement going
to all Treasury employees today,
Study Precedes Changes.
1T is my intention" he said,
"to review as rapidly as possible
all Treasury operations in order
to familiarize myself with the
many important activities of the
Treasury and to consider i'm
provements that may be required
in the interests Of continued eff
fective' operations.
Il know that we can depend
on the complete cooperation of
the fine men and women in the
Treasury and on your continued
determination to render out
standing service to the Govern
ment and to the public.
I'm return. my associates and
pledge our best efforts and
abilities in carrying out the vital
detectives Of the department"
Workers got special assurance
out Of the Secretary's references
to continued" effective opera
tions and continued" deter
mlnation to render outstanding
service.
His message had little of the
sting that has come from some
other Republican cabinet mem
berS.
Civil Service Protection.
Workers in the Treasury prop
er can be more confident than
many other workers under the
G. o. p. About 81 per cent of
Treasury employees have civil
service protection. And Con-
gress isn't talking about reduc-
ing the number of jobholders in
the gloomy, starling-s
Treasury headquarters at Fiji
teenth and Pennsylvania.
At the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau-the tax-collecting part Of
Treasury-there's more appre-
hension, but not over the Re-
publicanS.
whoever runs Internal Rev.
enue," one worker said, "has got
TO collect taxes. And that's a
growing business. The ques-
tions we have are about re-
organization" a
Internal Revenue was scared
by scandals last year and finally
reorganized to put more officials
under Civil Service. After the
convulsionS Of the last IL months,
Internal Revenue workers see a
change in the leadership as a
comparatively tranquil incident.
New Commissioner Confirmed.
The new Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue is T. Coleman
Andrews, whom the Senate con-
f1rmed late yesterday.
Referring to application Of
civil service rules to Internal
Revenue directors, Mr.. Andrews
said:

elsewhere. !. ! think it (the re-
organization plan, with emphasis
on merit) ought to be given a

day approved Marion B. Folsom

ST. THOMAS FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
Charter No. 1870


While the world is wrestling to solve itsYecononnc pro-
blems and at the same time maintain individual freedom
and controls, citizens right here in ST. Thomas & St. John
are quietly, locally and democratically solving their own
financial problems, through their own credit unions.
Thursday, October IS IS international Credit Union Day
There are 8 will about 800 members here in st. Thomas and
St John, and they are rendering a real service to the COM
munity. They encourage thrift, and regular savings, and
when members need loans for good purposes, they provide
credit at q low rate Of interest. These credit unions are IN
dependent organizations, owned and operated entirely by
their members. They are free enterprise in the best sense Of
the term. sr 1GkW
The credit union movement is over 100 years old. It is hv-
ing proof that the brotherhood Of man is a practical rule OF
life. There are now some 1850 credit unions with eight mill
lion members in North America. and the numbers are grow
ing every day. The fact is people like managing their own
affairs, and also like helping others.
Credit union people help each other. Their motto is, Not
for profit, not for charity,-but for services" We need more
Of this spirit that will build void peace. and democracy. We
salute the credit union people of Charlotte Arnalie on their
holiday, and wish them continued success.

"a strong Offense is the best de
fense against night traffic haz-
ards!"
That statement was made today
by F. J. JamisOn, Assistant Man
ager of the Delaware Safety COun-
Gil.
Darkness is the enemy we have
to fight in our campaign on night
traffic accidents" Mr.. JamisOn said.
More accidents occur at night
than in the daylight hours because
cars, pedestrians, cyclists and sta
tiOnaTy objects can not be seen
readily in the dark.
He advised motorists to adopt
the following rules for night driv-
ing:
l. DOuble-check all lights.
2. Use headlights properly. Use
the upper beam OH rural highways
when no approaching car is with
in 1000 feet Use the lower beam
when oncOming cars approach you,
when you are Overtaking another
car, or when driving in cities and
residential areas.
3. Dim your lights even though
an OncOming driver fails to dim
| his. Maintain control Of your car
by looking at the right shoulder of
the highway.

Social Security
Helps 1000 Families

In more than 1900 Delaware fam
lilies both husband and wife are
receiving a social security retire
ment check each month even
though only one of them was en-
ployed or self-emplOyed under the
Social Security program.
The reason for these monthly
payments being made to both hus-
band and wife, MyrOn MilbOuer,
manager of the Wilmington Social
Security office, explained, is that
the wife is usually dependent upon
the earnings of her husband, and
when his regular income is ter
minated by retirement both feel
the effects Of its loss.
The Old-Age and Survivors In
surance program in recognizing
this fact, provides monthly pay
ments to the wife of an individual
who qualities for retirement in
surance payments. The amount of
the wife's monthly payment is us
ually One-half of what her husband
receives. In this area, Mr.. MilbOuer
reported, the average amount of
these checks is about SIS per
month; $51 for the retired hus-
band, and $27 for the wife.
There are some cases." Mr.. Mil
bOueg said, where the wife has
been the bread-winner for the
family and the husband has been
dependent upon her earnings. In
these situations, monthly payments
may be made to the husband if lie
has actually been receiving at least
One-half of his support from his
wife"
There are other cases where
both husband and wife have been
employed or self-emplOyed and
where, consequently, each may
qualify for monthly retirement in
surance payments based on their
own individual earnings. Where
this has been true, the manager ex-
planned, the wife will aways re-
ceiVe her own retirement insurance
payment. If this payment is less
than she would receive as a wife
it will be supplemented by a wife's
insurance payment. In effect, she
will receive whichever payment is
/ greater, but not both.
Generally, the wife must be s.
before she can qualify for month
" benefits. Where there are chill
dren under age IS, however, an
exception is made and payments
may be made to the wife regard
less of her age.

4. Never pull onto a thOrOughfare
at night unless all front and rear
lights are on.
5. If it's necessary to stop on
the highway at night, pull COM
pletely off the road and be sure
parking and dome lights are on.
It's a good idea to carry flares or
fusees to prepare for such emer-
gencies.
Cyclists and pedestrians can al
so make themselves visible at
night, Mr.. JamisOn said. THE cy-
clist should be sure that he has a
good headlight and tail light on his
bike. It's a good idea to trim the
bike with white refiectOrized ma
terial and to wear light cOlored OF
white clothing.
He warned pedestrians, espe-
cially, to remember that motor
lists can't see them if they wear
dark clothing at night Wear light
clothing or something trimmed with
reflectorized material or to carry &
| tlashlight.

Lets make a proposal to the

to show the world its true face"
Mr.. Gedda made his proposal in
reply to Luigi Longo, one of
Italy's leading communists, who
had branded as false claims about
the Church of Silence" on Catho.
lie Action posters.
Declaring that the posters were
well-doeumented, Mr.. Gedda said
