Mr.. Larson's topic will be
1.-THE New Republicanism--
Where Does 1t Go From
Here?"
Mr.. Larson, recently
named director of the United
States Information Agency,
is popularity referred to as
the Republicans number one
"egghead" and political ide-
ologist. He helped draft
President Eisenhower
speech accepting a second
term nomination, in which
the President interpreted his
election victory as a triumph
for modern Republicanism.
AS head Of USEA, Mr.. Lar
son will direct a worldwide
500 million a year propa-
ganda operation which in
cludes the Voice of America
radio programs and other
overseas educational pro-
jects. He was named to the
post by President Eisenhower

ished in about a month, she
says, although, she admits rue
fully, production has been con-
siderably impeded the past few
months while her husband was
concentrating on high-speed
campaign speech writing for
President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Larson did most of his
speech writing in the small
second floor study of their at
tractive Ordway street home.
1t was the same desk and type
writer at which he pounded
out "A Republican Looks At
His Party" his best-selling
volume setting forth the pur-
pose and ambitions of the new

Most Of her work since then
has been in that field, usually
at whatever university Arthur's
law teaching took them too.
She taught for several years
at Cornell, at the University
of Tennessee (1939-4D briefly
at the University Of Pittsburgh,
and, when Arthur was with
the wartime OPA and Foreign
Economic Administration, at
George Washington University
here.
Acted at Catholic U.
She played the lead in Cath

production made famous by
Mary Martin
At CIV she had a VERY ex-
citing year" as head Of the
whole speech department. In
addition, she did free lance
script writing for local radio
stations, and acted in a radiC
series called Washington at
War"
It was her husband who
persuaded her to take on the
demanding CIV job, she said.
Arthur has always liked
very much to have me work. I
refused CIV at first. I felt I
should be spending my time at
home (they have two children,
Lex Kingsbury and Ann Bar
bara, now II and 16). He felt
that had something to offer
and that / should do it.
II worried at first. but once
I got started I found I could
teach and still see that my
children had plenty of atten-
ton. The idea that women
can't work and have children
so much depends on the
husband. If he doesn't want
you to work, ! don't think you
should. But If he encourages
you. then you have dignity and
pride, and you don't care II
others think you should be at
home.
"Of course" she added, "the
husband must take his part Of
the household, when the
mother works. He must spend
time with the children. Arthur
always spent a lot Of time with
his children. We are a family
that likes to do things to-
gether. And he doesn't mind
having good things happen
to me.
II was always fortunate to
have a good housekeeper," she
added. And my work was
such that ! always was there
when the children came home
from school. / think that's
very important.

If there is a significant re-

it could be historic step for

Our medical detectives are
working as hard in the field
Of cure as Of prevention. One
Of the hottest developments
in years has come from re-
search with estrogens.
Estrogens are female sex
hormones. Women have much
less heart disease than men,
and their hormones, admins
tered to male victims OF ath-
erosclerosis, actually have
healed the deadly artery le-
sions widely in animal ex-
Fermentation, on a limited

bcak to this treatment is the
fact that it brings unpleasant

major step forward.

searchers can create the same

Heretofore there has been
uniform age at which bene-
at payments could start for
all beneficiaries other than
children and wives or widows
with children in their care.
That age was IS; 1t remains
SIS for male benef1ciaries. The
1855 amendments to the law,
however. lower the age at
which women can receive
benefits. Beginning with Nov
ember of this year 1855 wo-
men can start getting pay
ments at age 81.

dependent mothers, may be-
gin getting survivors benefits
when they reach age 50. They
will get the same monthly
benefit that they would have
started to get at age IS under
the old Law.
wives of retired insured
workers and retired insured
working women can, If they
choose, start getting benefit
payments at age 81. However,
the monthly benefit amount
payable to them will be some
what less than the amounts
Of the benefits they would
have received had they waited
until age IS.
In case a wife or an insured
working woman elects to start
getting benefits before age IS,
she will continue to receive
a reduced amount after she
reaches that age. The longer a
woman waits after reaching |
age IS to start getting pay
ments, the less the reduction |
in the amount Of the monthly /
benefit
AS / have stated above, how
ever, once she starts getting
payments at a re-
duced rate, she cannot later
qualify for the full amount.
Let's take the example of a
woman who has been employ
ed in work covered by social
security long enough to be-
come insured. Assume that her
iull monthly benefit amount,
} ased on the average
earnings in covered work, is
1880.
If she waits until she
caches age IS to retire, she
will get that full amount every
month from then on. But she
will reach age 81 in November
1855. If she decides to retire
hen, she can get old-age
payments starting with Nov
smber.
The amount she will receive

payments, her benefit amount
will be $3.50 monthly. Every
year, and every month within

up to age IS, will increase her
benefit amount slightly.
! want to point out again,
however, that once she starts
getting reduced payments, she
will not be able to qualify
later for the full payment.
The above example applies
also to the wife of a retired
insured worker receiving bene-
fits. In her case, however, the
amount Of the monthly bene-

AS in the case Of the woman
worker, the wife's monthly

birthday and before she
reaches SIS.
However, if her retired in
sured husband should die at
any time after she has begun
to receive her reduced bene-
fits she will begin receiving
full widows benefits plus the
lump-sum death payment.
Today, I've explained how
age 81 has become important
to women under the new So
cial security law.
In my next article I'll tell
why age so is of great signi-
ficance to many now disabled
workers formerly in employ
ment or self-employment that
counts toward old-age and
survivors insurance benefits.

There is no way to laugh

any way to laugh Of the ira
gic results caused by ignoring
them.
Put 1t this way: If you're
going 10 miles an hour, you
will cover more ground than
the length of a football field
before you can stop your car.
And this holds true only when
your reflexes are normally
keen and efficient.
A driver whose mind is fuz-
zy with alcohol will
take far more time to see
danger and stop his car :
if, indeed, he stops 1t at all
before hitting a train, an en-
bankment, or another car.
Danger signals such as
a pedestrian suddenly STEP
ping into the street, or an
automobile cutting recklessly
out of its proper traffic lane :
don't register automatically in
a befuddled brain. There must
be a dual process of recogni-
ton and transmission. This
may take only a few seconds,
but these few seconds are
generally the difference bet
ween life and death on the

Food Hints
A Look At The Beef Counter (

"A LOOK AT 1n6 neeI counter 3
You are paying more for
top quality beef than you were
paying last year. Thsee high
beef prices show little sign
of dropping in the immediate
future says Miss Marion De-
Roche, Home Demonstration
Agent of the Middlesex Coun-
ty Extension Service.
Everyone is questioning, "IS
beef scarce and what do these
high prices mean?" Beef is
not scarce as there is a great
deal of grass fed cattle going
to market. This meat is of a
lower grade and most of it
will go into processed meats.
The high beef prices are be-
ing paid for small quantities
of top quality of beef produced
from grain fed cattle.
The lack OF liberal supplies
Of top grade beef will be re-
fiected in continued high beef
prices. Wise planning and Sc
lection are necessary for you
to get the best choice in beef
for your food dollar.
You can shop around and
select some of the less-pop-
Mar and inexpensive cuts of
beef. 1t will be possible then
for you to serve beef more
often this fall than If your
beef choice is made from the
more popular-expensive cuts
as steaks and chops.
As a food shopper, you can
select the best food buy for
your budget by figuring out
the cost per serving. One beef
cut may cost more per pound
than another cut, but in the
end will give you more serv-
ings per pound at a lower cost
per serving than the cheaper
cut.
Remember ground beef has
no loss in bone compared with
q cut that has a large per-
centage of bone. Roasts are
cheaper than steaks when
compared on a cost per sery-
ing basis. Try serving the
variety meats for what is
more tasty and nutritious than
beef liver. It is lower in cost

One of modern medicines
"most-wanted" villains Is
cholesterol, a fatty substance
whose habits are under close
scrutiny in cardiac labora-
tories.
Cholesterol is made up like
any other fat. 1t circulates
through the bloodstream and
normally washes harmlessly
through the inner Innings OF
the arteries and seeps back
into the blood or is carried
off without damage.
But sometimes cholesterol
piles up in the artery lining.
This narrowss and roughens
the artery walls, sets up le-
sions and paves the way for
the blood clot that means =

The mere presence Of a lot of
cholesterol in the blood means
nothing to most Of us. But
great importance is being at
tached in the research labora-
tories to the molecular form
in which it is carried through
the bloodstream.
Scientists are working fe-
verishly to establish whether
