wildly emphasized with the

PUBLIC URGED 10 CHECK
THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY
RECORDS WITH OFFICE
cit is very important that
every person working on
jobs covered by the social
security act make a special
effort to show his social Sc
curity card to his employer
so that he can report the
workers correct name and
number just as it is shown
on the card, william G.
Noel, field representative
of the Stanton, Va. social
security office stated today.
"By checking with your
employer, you can be sure
you are getting full benefit
of your insurance which you
are paying for in the form
of social security taxes. The
wages your employer reports
for you are used to deter
mine the amount of your
monthly benefit when you
retire at IS or later, or the
benefits paid to your sur
vivors in the case of your
death, Mr.. Noel said.
Women workers should be
particularly careful to see
that they have a social sec
urity card bearing the same
name as the one they are
at work, he cautioned. Too
often, women workers whose
names have been changed
for any reason, such as mar
rage, divorce, etc., continue
to work under their new
name without changing the
name on their card. In such
cases, the worker should i'm.
mediately contact the near
est social security office to
change her name on her
social security record.
To make sure your social
security account is correct,
every worker should ask the
social security office each
year or so for a statement
OF wages credited to his
account, Mr.. Noel said.

Liipons (Md.) } Regoins a Little
Of Former Post Office Pride

Lilipons, Md. is back in the
postal business.
The tiny community just over
the Montgomery County line in
Frederick County did not, how
ever, get back the full -f1edged
post Office it lost last July nor
did it get back its priced
"personalized" postmark.
But it has a contract station
that looks just like the former
post Office and its stamp cancella-
tions carry the words, "Lilipons
Rur. Sta" beneath the Frederick,
Md. poStmark.
The community got national
recognition of a sort about 20
years ago when it named itself
after the opera star, Lily Pons.
She used to mail her Christmas
cards from there.
However, in philatelic circles
there was the suspicion that
there was some degree of COM
mercialization involved. The

hind the Iron Curtain in order
to obtain more important i'm
ports from those areas.
Neither President Truman
nor Mr.. Acheson claimed at
that time that the Battle Act
impinged on an ally's Sover-
eighty. If any of our allies
felt restrictions of the Battle
Act actually interfered with
their sovereign rights they
could have easily told us:
Thank you, we don't want
your money and supplies under
such conditions.
The brisk trade between Red
China and Britain through
Hong Kong is. of course, on a
bootleg basis. Nonetheless, it
has increased substantially
since early in 1851. The Brit
iSh government can justly
claim that it has issued many
orders and regulations forbid
ding such trade. But they
have been ineffective because
the crowns enforcement Off
GERS shut their eyes.
Secretary Dulles unquestion-
ably has in mind the legal as
pect of the case. He does not
believe that we can make any
representations to our allies
much less threaten them with
cutting off aid-when they
cannot be made responsible
for the illicit operations of
prof1t-hungry exporters and
induStrialiStS. But all the
same it is a recognized fact,
proved by the figures the
Board of Trade (Britain's De-

that the trade between Hong
Kong and China increased
more than tenfold during the

Negotiations Resume
As Newspaper Strike
Enters Second Week
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Nego-
tiations resumed today in the
New York newspaper strike, but
with little prospect of any quick
settlement as the walkout went
into its second week.
Bargaining committees repre-
senting publishers of six struck
major dailies and AFL photo
engravers met separately in the

Broadway with Walter Maggiolo,
a Federal mediator, shutting
between them.

whether he could arrange a joint

would go without Sunday news
papers for the first time since
the strike began last Saturday.

tributed last Sunday morning.
New Workers seemed increas-
ingly lost without any major To-
cal daily to read, although tele-
vision and radio has been striv-
ing to fill the news vacuum
created by the walkout.

meetings all parties reported
"absolutely no change" in the
situation.

Mr.. Collins was referring to
the Herald Tribune, which VOL
UNFAIRLY closed down two days
after the other six major city
newspapers were struck, and the
Long Island Star-Journal, which
stopped printing yesterday when
its stereotypers refused to handle
comics and news to have been
carried as paid advertising from
the six struck newspapers.
The Herald Tribune, in an
nouncing it's suspension of pub
lication, said:
I'VE take this action because
it is clear that the continued

an instrument to obstruct nor
NAL collective bargaining. In this
connection responsible union
official involved in the current
strike was quoted as saying, if
the Herald Tribune is publishing
and the Times is closed, it won't
stay closed long"
In Washington, however, the
CLOS general counsel, Arthur
Goldberg, suggested yesterday
that the Justice Department in
vestigate whether the Herald
Tribune's voluntary suspension
OF publication violates the anti
trust laws.
Mr.. Goldberg said the Herald
Tribune's action, ''if taken ir
agreement with other newspa-
pers-as it obviously was-con-
stitutes an agreement in re-
straint of trade prohibited by the
antitrust laws"
THE essence of anti trust
legislation is that it prohibits
agreements not to compete" Mr.

Tribune, is not competing. This
would seem to be worthy of in

vision of the Department. of JUS
