SOCIAL SECURITY LAWS NEED SOME
MORE CHANGES

Congress Dreaded the Social Security Act
at this years session. Other changes are
needed to more fairly administer the legis-
latiOn. In talks with scores of our older res
idents- we learn that the new act does not
meet public satisfaction with certain pro-
visions of the law
1t is true that the recent excellent changes
will bring an estimated 100000 more
Americans under increased Social Security
protection, just as it will boost Social Secur-
ity taxes January 1. Dissatisfaction centers
upon three features of the law, and it is
based on feeling that in all three instances
injustice is being DONE
First and strongest protest concerns the
TACT that one man may receive unlimited in
come from dividends and still collect his
Social Security, whereas his neighbor-if he
is between 65 and 72 years of age-is only
allowed to earn $1,000 year to supplement
his income. He loses his Social Security if
his wages top $1,000. This is obviously un-
fair. 1t is throwback to New Deal days,
when efforts were being made to discourage
older people from working at all. Now we
know that for many Olsters it is essential to
their health that they have some sort of en-
ployment. AS more and more wage -earners
are affected and find it necessary to work to
supplement Social Security this will become
an increasingly sharp issue.
A second objection is that when wage
Garner becomes 65 he receives full benefits if
his wife is also 65. But if she happens to be
younger, his benefits are reduced-even
though his family responsibilities are iden-
tical. In other words, the present act penal
ICES al men whose wives happen to be young
er than they are.
A third objection concerns the large num-
Der Of Americans still not protected by Social
Security, most in their late fifties and early
sixties. Many of them could be covered-if
an employer would hire them for the 18
months required now for Social Security ELI
gibility. But their very age remains the Job
barrier. AS President Eisenhower has point
ed out, no system of Federal assistance can
meet all the problems of old age. Yet it
would seem that Congress could do more than
It has in removing injustices in the system as
it stands.
Members of Congress from Delaware
should be contacted when that legislative
group convenes next January, and they
should be asked to support corrective mea-
sures so that the older men and women may
be better served.

OIL Down ON THE FARM

american farmers work only six per cent
OF the worlds tillable land Yet they pro
duce 45 per cent of the worlds meat, 65 per
cent Of its corn, and similarly high propor-
tions Of other basic foods.
So outstanding a record is the result Of
various factors. One is the progress made in
scientific land conservation and utilization
Another is the superbly efficient, and econom-
zeal machinery produced by the farm equip
ment industry. And another is something
that every American uses every day in one
form or anOther-oil.
The farmer is the worlds largest user of
trucks and tractors. He commands more me-
chanical horsepower than is used in all the
rest OF industry-but he'd have none at all if
It weren't for gasoline and lubricants. To put
the situation another way, generation ago
each farm worker had about % horsepower
at his command. Now he has some so horse
poWer-and oil is the fodder that makes
those particular horses go.
And power doesn't tell the whole story
OF oils work in agriculture. Loss and dam
age from weeds, insects and plant diseases
IS very heavy on the farm, running into the
billions annually. This waste has been ma
terially reduced in late years through the
use OF sprays and dusts which are derived
from OIL, and are called petrochemicals. Ag-
rlculturally-deriv fertilizers are other i'm
portant farm tools.
Next October, Oil Progress Week will be
observed. The achievements the week is to
commemorate have benefcially touched Us
all-and some of the greatest of them have
been IN agricultural fields

Back in the relatively placid days
of 1888, an obscure young American
flyer took off from Brooklyn, N. Y.
and landed Unexpectedly and with
out passport or permit at Dublin,
Ireland. He told dumbfounded Off
cials he had merely flown in the
direction. Overnight, Wrong Way
COrrigan was famous. But we doubt
that similar feat will add to the
stature Of our Secretary of State.
In TeChnicOlOr-YellOW, Red & Blue
No midnight snack could possibly
induce a nightmare more fantastic
or grotesque than the world pic
ture as it actually exists at this
writing,

ter, the magenta Aneurin Bevan.
leader of the left wing of the leftist
Labor Party and five ranking Brit
ish politicos of the same protective
colOring are busily tOasting, and be-
ing toasted by the chief architects
of the Chinese branch of the Red
conspiracy.
A few days ago these distin-
guished collaborationists were being
similarly feted in Moscow, where
GeOrgi MalenkOV. himself, the glo-
bal head of organized enslavement,
proposed a toast to Queen Elizabeth
II! And meanwhile the Moscow
radio in a broadcast to the entire
USSR took its listeners behind the
screen Of the free world -, to pre-
sent the U. S. as "a country of con-
slant starvation" where there are
always tens of millions of people
who can never gent enough to eat
and where children swell of hun
ger and unemployed collect garbage
in dumps"
In Peiping. Premier Chou En- Lai
said he was ready to go all out to
promote friendly cooperation" and
to "expand and develop trade" with
| Britain. The latter, obviously, in the
mission of the Atlee cO-existers.
In London, former Defense Minis
ter Emanuel Shinwell, another pink
pal, said Americans who objected
to the Atlee junket should mind
their own business"
In Brussels, French Premier
Mendes-France told the ministers
Of West Germany. Italy, Belgium
The Netherlands and Luxembourg
that they would have to accept his
revisions of the European Defense
Community treaty-Which would
give the Germans second-class
membership-Or he would lose his
job and the Communists would gain
power in the next French govern
ment. It was touch-and-gO for the

'SOrry Reward"
In a lengthy eulogy Of his war
time chief, General George C. Mar
shall, President Eisenhower told
his press conference, and author
lied direct quotation, that he
to me has typified all that we call
or all that we look form an
American patriot l think it
is a sorry reward, at the end Of at
least fifty years Of service to this
country, to say that he is not a
loyal, fine American, and that he
served only to advance his own
personal ambitions"
The statement came in answer to
reporters question about the now
famous letter of former Secretary of
War Harry Woodring to a personal
friend in which he said Of General
Marshall lin part): 81 learned to
know him better than most people
who have not had the close assOci-
alton and 1 can tell you that he
would sell out his grandmother for
personal advantage; that he would
sell out his policies, beliefs and
standards to maintain his political
and military position with the
powers that be-"
The letter, written last June, was
brought to light by Senator Joe Nc
Carthy in a Senate session, and in
defending himself against the
charge of New YOrk's Democratic
Senator Herbert H Lehman that
McCarthy's speech Of June IA, 1851
was an "unwarranted attack" on
the General.
AS a sort of fOotnote to this
difference of opinion, the news
papers on the day of the White
House press conference carried a
few lines to the effect that Repre-
| sentatiVes Emanuel Cellar (Dem)
of New York, and Herman p Eber-
harter (Dem) of Pennsylvania, had
blocked the bill extending the pro-
found gratitude and abiding ap-
probation" of Congress to General
of the Army Douglas Macarthur.
ooo
YOU MAY BE GLAD TO KNOW
that maintaining the United Nations
will cost you no more this year than
it did last, or at least the percent
age remains at 1873, having dropped
since 1916 from 1888 per cent. In
money, this amounted to $1S,765, ,29C
for 1854
Russia, however, is screaming
with anguish over the boost in her
bill above the S5,843,950 she hasn't
yet paid for 1854 This be the fifth
straight year of boosting Russia's
ante because of her bOastine
about her prosperity.
But don't cherish any false hopes
he'll get it up.

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
By Elolno Townsond Dickorson

September "a, 1854
3518 Mayo
Topeka, Kansas
Dear Friends:
The sign read Welcome to Mil
ford, Delaware" and lust could
have died!!!! Right there before
my eyes on my televisiOn screen the
camera was taking me into my
home town. What really aggravated
me was that Hayes wasn't home and
! didn't have him here to enjoy
my excitment. They showed the
most "cOuntry-ish" road they could
find, which burned me up, but it was
just wonderful seeing home again
even though 1t was canned" The
film was on John Cameron SWayze's
news broadcast just last night and
told of the schools being closed. We
went out to dinner with twelve
other people and I was so drafted
mad with every one Of them be-
cause they hadn't seen It either.
People only know me about an
hour and they know from what state
and what town originate and usu-
ally I am grossly kidded about it,
so when / seemed aggravated over
their not seeing the news they really
hee-hawd
The dinner to which we were in
vited was in honor of DR.. and Mrs
William Roy, who are our neigh
bOrs. Bill next year will become a
civilian and he and his family have
decided to make Topeka their home
and are moving into town this week
This Air Force Village is three
miles out of town.
When the girls first mentioned
this dinner / told them to count
us out Why, when they plan a
neighborhood dinner, do they al.
ways have to plan a Mexican menu
When this gang gets together they
have more fun, since we have all
been together a year now, which is
pretty long time for Air Force
people. AS plans progressed, / TOLD
them to please include us, anC
Hayes could eat their "glOp" but
/ would bring a tuna sandwich.
The day of the party arrived, anC
I was right there by the stow,
watching what concoctions thel
were trying to cOntrive. Here they
were: Gene Shirley form Georgia
Betsy Pagan from Nevada and Lii
Wright from s. California -takins
these circular pieces Of what looked
like cardboard, frying them, slap
ping them in some red sauce, stuff
ing good hamburg in them will
cheese and onion and then rollins
them up. After they had made SOM
four dozen or more Of these things
thew would pour more red catsul
on them and put more cheese on tn,
top. Ugh!
Milford chronicle., 1954-10-01


/ came home wondering how on
earth could sample Il all like
had promised the girls I would.
SeYen-thirty arrived and 50 did all
the guests IN Fagens carpOrt. The
Roys' made two more and the
Maurice Marlers completed the
dozen invited. He is from Salt Lake,
Edna Marler Is from Texas and the
Roys are from two Great Lake
States, so well represented our
country I fooled the girls and liter
ally filed my plate with Chill Con
QuesO (fried tOrtilla with highly
seasoned cheese sauce), enchilados,
(tortillas that looked like card
board sauce. hamburg, cheese.
oniOn,) frijos (refried beans with
cheese) and tacOs (which were
also made with tortilas fried with
hamburg inside) / just didn't know
If I would have enough water "a my
glass to wash il all down or not:
but do you know it was all wonder
ful and returned for seconds
The following night the Officers
Club at Forbes had a "hard times"
party and couples arrived In bur-
lap bags, costumes made Of paper
and scotch tape, ragged T-shirts,
gum boots and outfits that must
have been buried in their foot
lockers for years. Hayes is now in
new squadron and It was our first
opportunity to meet the couples in
the S38th outfit.
Today Hayes is packing for
school again. It seems eLarnin" Is
perpetual in the service. He win
be in Wichita, Kansas for the next
four weeks. We have friends there
that we met at Maxwell Field, Ala
bama, friends from Mather Field
and, of course, the Ed McCrillases
live there, too. Mrs. McCriIlas be-
ing the former Betty Hammond
from Milford) so he will not be
with strangers and I'm depending
on them to keep an eye on him
for me, tool
It's lots of fun being in the SER
vice, we wives surely love it. I
remember Adele Warren Robert
sons husband saying, "Why would
mt the girls love Air Force Life?
/ COnees, teas, bridge parties, activity
days at the club. It's Just one good
time after another for them" Iea
true, but when the fellows go TIDY
Temporary duty elsewhere) and
your children are in school and you
remain behind. then it isn't too
much fun. Neighborhoods become
closer then and that is why service

YOU'RE WORKING FOR THE
GOVERNMENT

Citizens Public Expenditure Survey de-
fines a taxpayer as zone who doesn't have to
pass civil service exam to work for the
government"
The average man in the $4,000 bracket
works one day in every three. to earn tax
money alone! If he is employed on the usual
4O-hour, five-day week basis, he works more
hours to pay his taxes than he does to meet
both his housing and clothing needs.
That's q bleak picture But a ray Of sun
light is found in the fact that the new federal
budget marks a reduction from its predeces-
s0rs-and that the tax cuts proposed by the
Administration and authorized by Congress
have provided US with some measure of re-
lief
Now the hope is that larger cuts in both
spending and taxes viii be possible in the
future. Practically everyone, in and out of
government, wants that But the goal will
be impossible of attainment unless. it is hon
estly supported by the public at large. That
means we must do much more than Just adj
vocate economy as a vague general prin-
clple We must be willing to approve econ
oIny moves when they directly affect US

said that the people get the kind Of govern
ment they deserve and that goes for fiscal
affairs as well as everything else.

TOO AROnlginp


After keeping West Europe off
balance for nearly four years, after
months of growing uncertainty, and
after many days of debate in which
the outcome seemed obvious, the
French National Assembly killed the
European Defense Community trea-
(which France had originally
proposed.
Yet in spite of the fore-warning,
the free nations, great and small
were left in complete confusion,
with their mouths open, but nothing
TO say. Only West Germany knew,
or was willing to say, what it
wanted. With dramatic effect, Ger
many's 78-year-Old Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer demanded immediate
and full sovereignty for his country
that had been living on allied
promises for two years. Following
meeting of the German cabinet, a
siX-pOint policy statement was
issued calling for continued effort
at integTatiOn with all European
countries that are ready for it,,
discussion of military integration
with edo countries other than
France, restoration of German
sovereignty, participation in Euro
pean defense on a basis of equality,
new regulations for allied occupa-
tiOn troops and immediate negOti-
ations for allied occupation troops
and immediate negotiations with the
u. S. and Britain.
On the day that France took the
action everyone had been expecting,
President Eisenhower flew in to
Washington from Denver for his
noon address to The American Le-
gion Convention. In the afternoon
he met with Secretary Of State
Dulles, when, it was reported, they
read the news together. After their
meeting, neither had any comment
and the President with former
Tlesident Hoover few back to
Colorado, via the Iowa State Fair
for a few days of fishing.
Next day Secretary Dulles pro-
posed an emergency meeting Of the
foreign ministers Of the NATO
countries which it now seems
probable will be held in New York
in late September or October Mr.
Dulles issued a formal statement
on the "saddening event" urging
quick restoration Of West Germany
sovereignty and warning this cOun-
try against "a course Of narrow
nationalism" such as had actuated
the French Assembly.
Mr.. Dulles then flew off toward
the setting sun to Manila-for q
meeting at which he hopes to sci
the Southeast asia Treaty Organi-
zation in motion another confer
ence that appears to hold no more
promise than those Of Berlin and
Geneva. And that "agOnizing re.
appraisal" seems to have beer
showed back into the pending

start to fall, people go out and buy,
and more are employed,
Instead of letting business take
this course after World War III,
government subsidy and regula-
tion tried to keep business good
by holding prices high in the face
Of declining demand. Pretty soon
imitation ballooned our whole price
structure. The subsequent recession
was in part a process Of readjust-
mentment to this mistaken attempt
to keep prices high.
Work For The Consumer
Whether or not we will have an
other crash depends on the kind
of producers and merchants who
make up our economy. The way Of
economic salvation is to work
harder, produce better products at
lower cost, and then sell harder
than ever before. New markets for
new products must be developed.
When a market is lost, the sales or
ganizatiOn had better find another
market rather than appeal to the
government.
1 forecast that research must be
encouraged to keep a concern or
a city in a cOmpetively strong posi-
ton product research, selling re-
search, and consumer research. Sa-
laries must keep pace with the
times. The Law Of Supply and De-
mand will require fiexibility and
adaptability BY all of as. But, If
we want both peace and prosperity,
we will learn how to live under a
free working Law Of Supply and
Demand. This Law we can no more
change than we can change the
weather
