Portrait of Mrs. Garner MeIIows
Cactus Jacks 9lst Birthday Party

UVALDE. Tex. Nov. % (AP).
Former Vice President John
Nance Garner-the once crusty
but now mellow Cactus Jack
Garner-marked his e1st birth
day here yesterday with a huge
cake and a quiet party given
by old friends.
There was one solemn mo-
ment at the informal party
during which Mr.. Garner
waxed sentimental or humorous
as he swapped jokes and po-
litical yarn-spinning with his
neighbors.
1t came when his son, Tully
Garner. formally presented him
with a portrait of the late Mrs.
Garner. who was the former
Vice Presidents chief admin
istrative aide and adviser in
his long political life. The por-
trait was painted by Mr.. Gar
ner's only grandchild, Mrs.
John Currie.
Obviously moved, Mr.. Garner
said. II know you men have
wonderful wives, but not one of
you has a wife as good as mine
was"
Mr.. Garner, who retired from
politics in 1910 after a historic
break with Franklin D. Roose-
velt over the third term and the
Supreme Court issues, said he
wants to live to be 90 so that
he can square off his years of
public and private life. Mr..
Garner spent 46 years in public
service.
After the early morning
birthday party, there was a
quieter family get-together
later in the day. 1t included
Mr.. Garner's great-grandsons,
John Garner Currie, Is, and
Tully Robert Currie. IL.
The birthday cake was an 18
by SO inch pastry and candy
likeness of the log cabin where
Mr.. Garner was born in Red
River County.
THAT log house did me more
good in politics than anything +,
I ever said" Mr.. Garner COM
mented. ut was real. 1t is a
fact that I lived there for seven
years and I remember it well"
Today Mr.. Garner resumes
his routine of picking out pecan
meats as gifts for his friends,
feeding his bantam chickens,
reading, and watching tele-
vision.
That's all have to do these
days." he said.

marriages because many young
couples plan on remaining
childless for several years so
the wife can work.
In 1890, the report said, only
S out of 10 men IA years old or
over were married whereas in
1859 Z in 10 were married. The
ratio for women has changed

EXPLANATIONS OFFERED
ABOUT BEVERAGE ADVT

On January 10, 1859, the North
Carolina distributors of malt bev-
erages in one of a series of news
paper advertisements supporting
state legal control of alcoholic bev-
eEages, reprinted an editorial from
"a N. C. daily newspaper which
commented on an address made by
Rev. R. M. Hauss, Executive Di-
rector of the North Carolina Allied
Church League, to a group of
Methodist ministers at Lake Juna-
luska, N. c. in September 1868.
The quoted editorial said in part:
"He declared that any state can
properly control alcoholic bever-
agaes if the people are determined
and aggressive; and he urged the
conferees to work for control leg
islation in their own communities. F"
Since the appearance of this adj
vertisement, Mr.. Hauss and the
Allied Church League have pro-
tested that the sentence "Any state
can properly control alcoholic bev-
erages if the people are willing
was not made as an endorsement
of the State ABC laws for legal
sales, but was made with specific
reference to bootlegging and alco-
holic beverage advertising; and
further state that in his full state
ment at Junaluska and in the orig
inal press report it was made
clear that he "deplored the state
liquor store system and was not
urging conference members to
work for it in their local communi-
ties.
While the Beer Distributors.
acting upon the editorial, repro
duced the editorial in good faith,
they nevertheless apologize both to
Mr.. Hauss and to the Allied Church
League if the quotation was mis-
leading and not representative of
Mr.. Hauss' personal views or those
Of the Allied Church League.

SENATOR SEEKS
AMENDMENT TO
SOCIAL SECURITY
Sen. Jordan Thinks Recipients
Should Be Allowed to Earn
More Outside

WASHINGTON-I have asked
the Senate Committee on Finance
to act just as soon as possible on
my bill that would amend the So
cial Security Act making it posi-
BILE for those receiving benefits
under the program to earn more
outside income.
It is my hope that early con-
sideration will be given the bill in
order to avoid any delay on final
action on the proposal. Although
the Constitution requires such Leg
islation to technically originate in
the House, early action by the
Senate Finance Committee would
definitely speed up the final out
come.
Under present law, the recipients
of Social Security payments are
allowed to earn only 500 per
month, or $1,000 a year, in outside
income above their Social Security
payments. The bill l introduced re-
Gently would increase this limit to
$3.50 per month or $1,000 a year.
| sincerely feel that there is an
urgent need for such a change in
the law, and the modest increase
have proposed in outside income
limitations is certainly a mini
mum requirement in view of the
increased cost of living in recent
years.
During the past few weeks,
have received a great many letters
from all areas, >of North Carolina
strongly endorsing the proposed
change in the law that would en-
able those who retire under the
Social Security program to earn
more outside income.
There are literally thousands of
people who are not able to continue
full-time work after they reach re-
tirement age, but would like to do
part-time work in order to make
enough money above Social Securi-
ty payments to earn a, decent liv-
ing. No one has any desire to be-
come dependent on family or
friends after retirement, but the
present limitations on outside in
come make it impossible for per-
son to make enough outside in
come to fill day-to-day needs with
out being penalized.
Many people have written me
concerning other injustices and in
equities in the present law regard
ing disabled people, dependents,
rate of Social Security payments
and so forth. 1t is true that there
are many unfortunate situations
that do exist in any program so
far-reaching and complicated as
the Social Security program, and
it takes a great deal of time and
effort to make constructive changes
in the basic laws that are fair and
just to all concerned.
