You must remember that the
heart tracing is but one test in
evaluating how strong the heart
is. In addition to physical
examination, microscopic and
X-ray tests. there is another
important consideration. DO you
have any symptoms or signs Of
heart failure? Do you have
ankle swelling, shortness Of

If your physical examination

SECURITY FOR YOU
Act Affects
Payments
To Aliens
BY RAY HENRY

! Some aliens who become eligi-
BILE for social security payments
. after January will have their
payments suspended if they
leave the United States for more
than six months. The payments
will be resumed if they return.
This is a new wrinkle Con-
gress added this year to the So
cial security law.
Previously. almost all aliens
who had earned social security
benefits while living in the Unit
ed States could permanently
leave the country and continue
to get payments. The only aliens
barred from payments were
those living in Communist DOM
mated areas Of the world.
The change in the law will
mot affect United States citizens
living abroad. Nor will it affect
aliens living outside the United
States who have become eligible
for payments before January /.
i And, the law makes exceptions
to the six month rule for some
\ aliens who leave the country and
become eligible for social securi-
ty benefits after January /.
Rule Doesn't Apply
The rule will not apply in the
following circumstances:
/. If an alien has ten years of
work under social security or has
lived in the United States for 10
years.
| 2. If the suspension of bene-
Ifits will affect treaty obligations
Iof the United States which exist
when the law takes effect.
8. If an alien is a citizen of
Ia country which has q social in.
surance system which pays bene-
fits to American citizens who re-
turn to the United States to live.
The payment Of social security
benefits to persons abroad is not
uncommon. In fact, each month
some 10000 persons receive pay
ments in every country of the
Free World.
| About a quarter of the total
live in Italy and more than half
in Europe. Canada has about
5000 persons receiving benefit
checks.
The checks don't only go to
aliens. Many 60 to United States
citizens who've gone back to their
native land for an extended visit
or to live. Some are native
Americans who've gone temp
Iorarily or permanently TO live in
another country.
Provisions Relaxed
In addition to making the
change in the social security
law covering some aliens, Con-
Igress eased couple Of provisions
which allow Americans working
abroad to earn social security
beverage.
Now it's possible for Americans
working for a foreign subsidiary
lof an American company to be
brought under social security If
the American company owns 20
per cent or more Of the voting
stock Of the subsidiary.
Previously. the American COM
pany had 10 own so per cent
or more of the voting stock Of
Ia subsidiary for an American
working for the subsidiary to be
eligible for social security cover
age.
AS in the past, the American
company must agree to pay the
social security tax for any Amer
leans working for any Of its for
eign subsidiaries.
Congress also made It possible
for American ministers serving
in churches in foreign countries
to elect 70 be covered by social
security II their congregations
are mostly Americans.

much the attention Mother talk:

that my husband really loved
me and that I would somehow
manage to find a way Of making
him understand. Now I know this
can never happen.
My mother has spoiled things
for both Of us. If my husband
were to change his manner,
could not help resenting the
fact that he was not respond
Ing to me but being coerced by
Mothers crude criticism. Know
ing him. I doubt that he viii
let himself be intimidated BY
Mothers criticism.
Until now, my husbands &C.
casional thoughtlessness was moi

I understood that I must moi

1t rankles moret han ever. since
I know that Mother has built q
wall Of awkward feeling between
us. She had no right to throw
her criticism between us.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
This mother and daughter
have to face some startling facts
The first one is that Mother is
not right as Gale believes. She
Is dead wrong.
Gifts and little considerations
are very nice when they are a
natural expression Of affection,
but they are not tributes to be
expected. There need be no re-
sentiment if they don't come.
Different people have different
ways Of expressing affection. Jim
apparently doesn't express his
affection in little niceties." yet
Gale doesn't appear to doubt his
love.
Since these things mean Sc
much to her, however, Gale had
the responsibility Of tipping her
husband of to this fact. In
stead, she harbored it in her
heart. holding secret grudge
against him. She is copying heI
mother in hiding anger and hos
tility beneath a mice" exterior

her intentions as good ones. But

Representative Landlord, DEM

sale of Girl Scout cookies is a
business operated for profit and
therefore subject to the one per

Mr.. Landlord is a member of

the Girl Scouts would appeal OF

New York's Gov. Hartman. in
one Of the legal rarities of our
times, recently refused extradi-
ton of a convicted Alabama
prisoner.
Clarence Crenshaw, 40, is the
man New York has declined to
deliver up to Alabama. Cren-
shaw. who is colored, had served
% years of a life term when he
escaped from Alabama State
Prison in 1855. He had been
sentenced for the killing of a
white man who, apparently, had
been assaulting his young
brother at the time.
In any case. after Crenshaw
was later arrested in New York,
examined, and his case investi-
gated, Gov. Hartman decided
not to go through with his
initial decision to return the
prisoner to Alabama.
Actually. this matter of re-
turning escaped persons, who are
either suspected or convicted of
crime. from one State to an
other is not "extradition. Extra
dition is a term which applies
technically to similar processes
between sovereign nations. With
