suit from Failure of Per-
sons TO Report Earnings
MUST MAKE REFUND

Persons receiving monthly So
cial security benefits who believe
their earnings in 1857 may ex-
coed $1,000 are urged to report
promptly to their social security
district Office. Myron Milbouer,
district manager of the Whining
ton social security Office, stated
that many persons getting month
~ benefits fail to report they are
working until they have earned
$1,000. Where they continue work.
ing this results in incorrect pay
ments which must be repaid.
According to Milbouer, a bene-
ficiary who earns no more than
$1,000 in a year will receive pay
ments for all months. Beginning
with the month he reaches age
Y, payments will be made re-
gardless of the amount of earn
ings. However, he added, for
months before age q, the en-
ployed or self-employed person
who earns anything over $1,000
in a year will not be eligible for
payments in all months. Report

ing promptly when the worker
believes he will exceed this
amount avoids being faced with
the necessity of returning his
checks or making a refund.
Upon filing of the annual re-
port after the close of the year,
full payment will be made if
there are any additional payments
due the beneficiary. Milbouer ex-
planned. Further, if during the
year the worker notifies his So
cial security district Office that he
has stopped working or is earning
no more than $50 a month in
wages, mis- payments will be re-
sumed at that time. Payments to
the self-employed person who ex-
poets to net over $1,000 in the
year can be made during the
year for any months he does not
render substantial services in con-
nection with his business.
Milbouer stated that any work
ing beneficiary having a question
regarding his eligibility to receive
payments should get in touch
with his social security district
office. Free pamphlets entitled
How Earnings Affect Social Sc
curity Payments" are available
for distribution.

10 s.;
Trading Active

NEW YORK. oct. u R.--
The stock market underwent
another sinking spell early this
afternoon. dropping toward still
another new low for 1857.
Steels. rails and chemicals
were hardest hit as key stocks
took losses Of fractions TO 2
points. Trading was active.
Some aircrafts and missile
stocks were on the upside early
In the day but these also gave
way almost unanimously to the
lower trend. Early gains BY
some oils and nonferrous metals
also were wiped out.
Motors stood their ground
with little change in initial
dealings but slipped TO the
downside as the entire mar
ket went lower.
While the Syrian.T Turkish
crisis appeared to lose some Of
the urgency which sent the
market lower last week the
business picture included news
of layoffs and production cut
backs. Corporate reports were
spotty. But retail sales Of au-
tos were reported on the up
grade over 1856 for the first
time this year.
The ticker tape was late on
the downside twice today Is
selling increased.
Lockheed was one Of the
widest losers at the start.
dropping around 2 points on
news that the Navy had cam
celed e2l million worth Of con-
tracts with the firm. Martin Co.
and General Dynamics erased
early gains and edged lower.
Fractional losses also were
taken by Boeine. Douglas Air
craft and United Aircraft.
Reports Of hand-to-mouth
ordering from steel mills damp
ened that industry's shares.
Youngstown sheet was on
about 2 points Is was Lukens.
United States Steel and Beth
lehem dipped more than Q point
apiece. Republic steel was q
l-point loser.
Corporate bonds declined.
Government bonds improved.

Small Looms Are Bigger,
MonyAre Paid off Early

On the other hand. there is a
trend toward paying on the
loans ahead Of schedule.
These are findings Of small
loan companies across the Ma
ton. They deal with some 10
million families a year for q
total of about IS billion.
Their reports jibe with the
findings Of the Federal Reserve
Board on the total volume Of
personal loans. the kind made
by these companies and by
other financial firms. The
boards figures put personal
loans at SIT billion. almost 81
billion above the total q year
ago.
The National Consumer FL
nance Association queried top
men in rs Of its member COM
panies In II States and the Dis
trict Of Columbia on changes in
the last few years. All report a
shift Of emphasis from emer-
gency or remedial borrowing to
convenience or better living bor-
rowing.
A typical report Is that Of q
st. Louis loan company. In
1858 medical. dental and hos
pital bills accounted for IL
per cent Of its loans. This
year they are only 8 per cent
of the total. In 1858 borrow

food, clothing. fuel and rent.
made up IA per cent Of the
volume. Now the percentage is
10. But borrowing to buy new
furniture and home appliances
has gone UP from II per cent
In 1858 to is per cent today.
Imitation Is credited with rails
ing the amount Of the average
loan and also for frightening
the period for payment.
A Midwest loan agency
says that its average loan in
1855 was for 1886. Last year
1t was $437 and this year $452.
In some States the contract
length has risen from IL to 10
months and in others from
