COMMISSION OUTLINES PLAN
TO COMBAT
ADULT
ILLITERACY

Washington - (ANP) - A
nationwide campaign to wipe out
illiteracy in the United States
was discussed this week by the
newly formed National Commits
sion for Adult Literacy.
At an all-day meeting held at
the Mayflower Hotel, Monday,
this group composed of some of
the nations leading educators,
business men and public officials,
set as its target the nearly 10
million Americans who cannot
read and write. This was the Sec
ond meeting of the Commission
which was formed here on June
II. At this first working meeting
the group outlined three specific
detectives:
~ To alert the American
public, including such groups as
labor and industrial organizations
and religious groups, on the mag
nitude and Importance of the
problem and the need OF taking
constructive action to solve it.
~ To collect and evaluate the
available facts and programs in
illiteracy and to stimulate addi-
tional fact finding and pilot pro-
grams.
(3) To recommend to Commits
sion leaders and boards of edu-
cation that adult education should
be considered as an integral part
OF the educational program. Muir
ray Lincoln is the commission
chairman.

Women Must Chose
When to Claim
SIS. Benefits

Since women first became elig-
ible for social security benefits at
age 81, one of the most frequent
questions they ask, according to
Edward p. Blonston, manager of
the Miami (North) Social Secur-
ity office, is: Should ! file for
social security benefits before IS,
or should / waltz"
Mr.. Blonston stated that this
question cannot be answered with
a flat Eyes" or mo" for every
working woman or wife interest
ed in getting the most value out
of her social security benefits.
Many individual factors must be
considered before a woman can
arrive at final decision on when
she should claim her benefits. The
social security office can explain
the law to her, but she must
make her own choice.
One of the requirements Of the
law is that for every month UNI
der age IS that benefits are claim
ed there is a reduction in the
amount of the monthly benefit.
For the woman who has worked
under social security, the bene-
fit is reduced 20% If started at
age 81, while the wife's benefit
beginning at age 81 is reduced
25Tc. The percent of reduction
becomes less with each month she
waits, up to the time she Is IS.
This reduced benefit for wives
and women workers continues
after age IS. However, If the wife
should be left a widow, she be-
comes entitled to the full widows
benefit payable on her husbands
social security account without
any reduction, since widows
benefits at age 81 are not subject
to reductions.
MIR. Blonston stated that t h e
Social Security Administration
figures wife of retired work.
er who elects to receive the re-
duced benefit between age 81 and
SIS will be ahead for the first IL
years. If the wife continues to get
the reduced benefit for more than
IL years, the total amount re-
ceived will not be as large as If
she had waited until age IS to
file her claim.
According to Mr.. Blonston, the
working woman who applies for
benefits before she is IS is ahead
for Is years. If she lives longer
than is years, the total amount
she receives would be less than
if she had claimed her benefits at
age IS.
A woman should consider sew
eral factors before she files her
claim. Does she need additional
income now more than she Will
need the larger amount later? Is
her health poor, so that she prob
ably will not live more than IL
or Is years? Does she expect to
work and earn over $1,000 year?
II she is eligable only as q wife,
is her husband continuing to work
and earning over $1,000 year?
Under the Social Security law,
as long as a worker is under age
q, and earns between $1,000 and
$1,000 a year some of his checks
ana, if his wife is receiving bene-
fits on his wage record, some OF
her checks also, may not be pay
abe. Moreover, the same general
rules apply to a 62-year-old wo-
man worker as to a male work.
er. If her earnings are between
$1,000 and $1,000, she could re-
ceive the reduced benefit for
some, but not all months, each
year.

The House Committee on
Un-American Activities says a
new organization-the Emer-
gency Civil Liberties Commit
tee-is spearheading a cam
paign to undermine Federal
security programs.
The organization promptly
called the charges untrue.
In a report issued last night,
the House group said the or
ganization has been cited as
a Communist 'front.'" and added
that a campaign to dis
credit antisubversive work was
launched at a New York rally
September 20.
The report added that the
ECLC has scheduled more than
"a meetings in major cities
to drum up support.
The ECLC plan, the House
committee said, would under
mine the security programs Of
the Government and weaken
the Government security
forces"
Shortly after the report was
released, ECLC Chairman Har-
vey O'Connor issued state
ment in New York saying:
"The charges made public
today by Congressman Walter
are false and typical of the
unfair practices of the commit
tee which he heads"
He referred to Representa-
tive Walter, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, committee chair
man.
Mr.. O'Connor's statement
added:
THE charges are backed by
no evidence and cannot be
They will serve only to
stimulate the campaign to
eliminate unconstitutional
practices by congressional COM
mittees."
The ECLC official said it was
"manifestly absurd" to refer to
his group as a Communist
front.

called ECLC's drive a new eff
fort to cripple antisubversive
work, and said it is designed to

He is punished by not being

Idiosyncrocies of a Mother-in-Low

Maggy is n. She's the last
Of the breed. She is short and
stout and has big round face
and a shoe-button nose. She
looks like Cork and Limerick
and Galway and Wexford. She
was really born In Hoboken on
February 4, 1880, and her real
name is Margaret Lanigan Dun
ming.
She's my mother-in-law.
Maggy has been living with
us for 20 years. Her husband
died. My Elinor was her only
child. What else? Where else?
She was a good cook. Her meat
sauce was so good that I never
ate the spaghetti. Just give me
o bowl of the meat sauce and
q half loaf of Italian bread. No
soup. No dessert. Her baked
macaroni with cheese was too
good for any Of us.
The kids called her Nanny"
as far back as I can remember.
They loved her with devotion
that matched what they had for
their parents. She loved seal
lions and, whether they were on
the grocery list or not, the girls
bought them. She loved corned
beef and cabbage too. and loin
Of pork and red cabbage.
Maggy had a code of her own.
If she. liked you, she liked you
all the way and she could never
get herself to believe that you
had ever done anything wrong.
II she didn't like you, it was
equally difficult for her to be-
lieve that you could do anything
right.
Code Of a Mother in-Law
She lived by this code, and it
distressed her to have to place
me in one category and then
the other. Maggy could never
quite make up her mind about
me. When I did something nice
for her-like bringing home a
pair of dollar earrings-she
would study them in silence and
the tears would simmer on her
lids and she would present her
cheek to be kissed.
If I did something wrong
like ask her how she could lee
ture a child on how to eat with
q fork when she herself was
shoveling the food with a spoon
then I paid for two or three
days. My hellos were echoed by
silence. Better yet, she could,
with a glance. enlist the aid Of
her daughter and then, by gum.
! became the family leper.
Best Of all was to see Maggy
at a bar. She loved bars, and
she was always first on the ma
hogany with the IS bill. The
children got dimes for potato
chips and dimes for the juke
box. Only two songs made her
cry: When You and I Were
Young, Maggy," and Lover,
Come Back To Me-"
She never wanted to 60 home.

When we were youthful. we used
to take the family to a place
which we called Lisa's Beach
There was no water for miles
but the youngsters used to think
that there must be swimming
nearby.
PeremptOry Reminiscing
Maggy made friends of wait
resses. She always pressed a dol
lar into their hands, and she
rolled her head from side to side
and laughed and, in those
hours. everybody was what she
called a regular guy" She could
sit and remember and remember
and remember. Shed be flooded
with memories and all of the
Irish stories and the supersti-
tons would come to the surface

She always weighed better
than $50 and she was exactly s
feet tall. AS far back as / can
remember, Maggy was going to
start the diet in the morning
She hated a corset, and she
would rather skip a good we'd
ding than put one on. But, once
she got into the harness, let no
man be caught looking at a
watch and saying: Isn't 1t get
ting a little late?"
My mother-in-law had little
knowledge of the world, and you
could tell her that Europe was
four miles south of FL Paso, and
she'd believe it. Her only outside
interest was in roofing for the
Brooklyn Dodgers. When they
were a run behind, she said

pocket she had a rosary, and

petition for two quick runs.
asked her softly what would
happen if Our Lord was on the
side of the Giants and. that
time, she didn't speak for a week.
Live, Travel and Learn
A few years ago, took the
family on a Grace Line cruise to
South America. We went on the
Santa Paula and all of us agreed
that it was the best time we ever
had. The food, the service, the
weather, were so wonderful as
to be unreal. The ceiling of the
dining room peeled back at night
and we ate under the Southern
Cross.
When we got back, Maggy
clutched my arm and said: Take
it easy. I'm short-winded. Listen,
I want to tell you something. Be-
fore we got aboard, was scared
to death. Know why? I didn't
