In Matter Of Expediting Claim Payments

vice, to enable them to carry
out their duties and business
of the lodge in accordance
with the requirements of the
existing bylaws, and to the
satisfaction of the member
ship and the Home Office.
Dept Recommendation
Since the lodge roster is
forwarded only to our lodge
secretaries, the presidents of
sick committees have no in
formation concerning any
member.
We would recommend that
the lodge secretaries give the
president of the lodge sick
committee the lodge member
ship roster at least twice an.
nually, so that they may con.
veniently ascertain whether
or not a member is insured in
the sick and disability funds.
We do this for the rea-
son that it frequently hap
pens that a member will re-
port sick when he is not
insured on the sick benefit
fund and is not entitled to
receive sick benefits.
I believe these instructions
are in good order and that
they will be of great benefit
to all.
In case something Is not
clear, do not get excited, but
simply write to the Supreme
Office for any information
that may be needed, and i,
will be given gladly.

group to Paris other railroad
terminal for the three-hour
haul to LIE Havre and the
French Line pier.
The way those drivers
''took" the group was in
deed petty larceny of the
first magnitude. But ''innO-
cents abroad" are made to
order for these Partisan
shysters.
No matter how long one
may stay there, all from Ame-
rica and Canada live and learn
- the hard way - in Paris.
Hence the group decision to
leave Paris in the dust Sept.
9 and spend the night in LIE
Havre.
LIE Havre In Comeback
The group stayed in LIE
Havre the evening Of Sept. 9
and spent much of the follow
ing day inspecting the count
less scars left here by the
brutality of World War II.
LIE Havre was bombed a.
round the clock during the
last war and the city resem-
bled a heap of rubble when
that CHASTITY difference of
world opinion between man
kind was finally settled at a
terrible cost to humanity.
But LIE Havre has since
made a remarkable civic
comeback and its new
homes, factories, port faci-
lities, public and business
buildings, etc., are a tri-
butte to the tenacity of the
French people.
In fact, the group stayed in
one Of the city's newest, fin
est hostelries, the Hotel Nor
mandie, and enjoyed the lux
ury of modern sleeping and
plumbing facilities for the
first time since their arrival
in Europe Aug. 8, 1856.
Yes, this present day city
Of some 175,000 people took
a savage beating during
World War II. It will take
years to forgive and forget
those who sinned against it
from 1899 to 1915.

Sick Benefit Department


PITTSBURGH - Recently,
we have been receiving, di-
rectly from physicians and
hospitals, various prin t e d
forms with reference to sick
and operation benefits Of our
members.
Very frequently neither the
members name, lodge num-
ber nor certificate number
are shown.
These omissions cause
much unnecessary work to
the office personnel in the
Sick Benefit Department
before the name of the
member seeking sick or
operation benefits can be
ascertained.
Therefore, brothers a n d
sisters, lodge secretaries and
presidents Of lodge sick COM
mittees, this Department ur-
ges and appeals that care be
exercised in the completion of
sick benefit claim forms, to
make certain that it shows
the name and surname Of the
member, the number Of his
lodge and membership certi-
ficate.
With this understanding, if
the hospital again sends in
some form we will be in a po-
sition to Immediately send it
to the lodge for completion
and return to the Home Of
flee for processing.
Concerning Payments
Seven years have gone by
since my election as Secretary
of this Department, whose
work and operations I super
wise.
Since I have been in this
position, sick benefits and al
other claims are paid every
week.
Claims which reach the
Home Office by Wednes-
day afternoon are pro-
cessed by the end of the
same week.
However, claims VII i c /
reach the Home Office after
Wednesday are paid at the
end of the following week.
Many of our lodge secreta'
ries. and presidents of sick
committees are of the opin'
ion that sick benefits are paic
to the date when recommen'
dation for payment is made
This is not correct.
Cooperation Needed
All sick benefit claims arr
considered as of the dat'
when the medical certificate
was completed by the physi
clan treating the member.
Only in case of the death o.
the member can a sick ben
eft claim be paid without
Recommendation by the lodge
and then only after the deatl
certificate reaches the Home
Office.

Gruening Wants No Part Of Muktuk vs. Hog Eyes Contest with Sparkman

WASHINGTON, LR- The sug- gested muktuk-hog eyes and chit terlings eating contest between two senators is out.
 An aide of Sen. John Sparkman D-Ala says Sparkman's pro posal for the contest has been turned down by Sen Ernest Gruening D-Alaska).
 Sparkman, extolling as an Ala bama delicacy hog eyes and chit terlings, offered to do battle with Gruening at the dinner table - Sparkman to eat as much Alaska muktuk as Gruening could put away hog eyes and chitterlings.
 lGruening, however, apparently had no stomach for coming eye to eye with Alabama hog eyes and chitterlings.
 He described muktuk as de lectable hors d'oeuvre consisting of a piece of whale skin and blub- Der cut in cube.
 But after the challenge flung by Sparkman, Gruening yielded the field.
 With respect to your challenge to a contest" he wrote, "this is to advise that I yield even with out taking the field 1 hereby acknowledge that John Sparkman can eat as much muktuk (and perhaps somewhat more) as I can hog eyes and chitterlings."

Khrushchev Party 'Occupies'' Carst Farm In Iowa
By SAUL PETIT

COON RAPIDS, Iowa, R The Roswell Garst farm, most famous in the nation today, looked like occupied territory after an in vasion.
 It was thoroughly wired for sight, sound and security-all for a little onetime sheepherder from the Ukraine, Soviet Premier Nix ita Khrushchev.
 Helmeted soldiers of the U. s. Fifth Army, armed with MI rifles, sWarmed all over the place, standing guard on surrounding hilltops, crossroads, behind barns and pasture fences.
 In the confusion, Steve Garst, son of Khrushchev's host, had diff ficulty getting back and forth to his own neighboring farm with his corn trucks-and this just in the middle of corn-picking time. Young Garst finally was let thru the security lines after he per suaded the officers he was who he said he was.
 Early this morning, caterers and friends of the Garsts were busy setting up food facilities in the basement of the Garst home.
 Caterers also worked feverishly within the brown tent, next to the swimming pool. The tent was the scene of the KhrushcheV's luncheon.
 The centerpiece on the Pre- mier's table was corn tassle set in a brass bowl next to a ceramic rooster.
 In addition to forces of sol diers, airmen and three varieties of police officers, the Coon Rap ids Fire Department was on hand.
 The firemen, all wearing blue uniforms with red bow ties, weren't too clear on what they were supposed to be doing.
 One standing by the white fire truck shrugged and said: "I guess we're here in case there's a fire" !"

Ike Asks Both Sides In Steel Strike to Buckle Down and Settle Dispute

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower appealed to b [ h sides in the steel strike today to "get down to hard intensive bar gaining" and settle the dispute.
 The appeal was relayed to re- porters by Secretary of Labor James Mitchell following a long conference with Eisenhower.
 "We all feel that free collec- tive bargaining may be on trial here," Mitchell said.
 Both management and labor should recognize this fact"
 Mitchell declined to predict what government action, if any, would be taken if labor and man. agenient failed to reach a settle ment in the strike, now T days old.
 The most probable government action would be invoking the Taft-Hartley laws injunction pro- vision. An injunction, if issued, would send the 50O,0OO striking steelworkers back to the mills for at least 80 days, but they would be free to strike again if no set clement was reached in the mean time.

Fantastic Bank Robbery Plot Is Thwarted

CLEVELAND, Ohio, R-A fan tastic bank robbery plot was thwarted today by a police siege at the bank branch where the manager was being held. The holdup man died, apparently by his own hand.
 What happened to woman who helped him kidnap Herbert Fox, manager of the Cleveland Trust Co. branch, was not learned. The couple had taken Fox from his home, leaving behind a device they said was bomb that would destroy his family if he did not cooperate.
 The box contained black pow der that turned out to be coal dust. There was an alarm clock in the brief case ticking away
 Fox's daughter, Marilyn, Is, freed herself from bonds and called police, who surrounded and posted men on the roofs of nearby buildings.
 Some 200 police and FBI agents were summoned to the bank. They showered tear gas shells and fired revolvers and shotguns at the bandit during the 45 minute siege until the holdup man let Fox and some other bank en- ployes go.
 Then Police Chief Frank Story spoke over public address sys- tenn, telling the man to come out or i've will come in shooting and destroy you You have 10 min utes."
 When six policemen rushed into the building they found the man dead on the floor, with a revolver beside him.
 Bank employe Joseph Noff- ziger, 19, was wounded seriously in the shooting when a bullet struck him under the heart.
 Police said the man had a New York drivers license in the name of Lee c. Terry and had a rental car slip in the same name.

Total Disarmament Plan
 Seen as Propaganda-But Must be Taken Seriously

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- Secretary of State Christian Her ter said yesterday that while Nix ita Khrushchev's total disarma- ment plan is propaganda, "the goals set forth must be taken ser iously"
 The Soviet Premier's plan, Her ter told a luncheon of the U. N. Correspondents Assn, requires the closest attention and study"
 Herter spoke shortly after the General Assembly's 21 nation steering committee unanimously agreed to put Khrushchev's pro- posal on the agenda.
 Herter also said he and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gro- myko had made a general outline of issues likely to be discussed when President Eisenhower meets Khrushchev at Camp David.

SEN. BARTLETT DUE IN NOME TODAY

Senator E. L. Bartlett is ex- pected to arrive here late this afternoon for an overnight stop. He is accompanied by military of ficials and the trip is in the inter est of national defense.
 Bartlett expressed the desire to talk with the people of the area on this vital problem as well as any other important issues. Ac- cording to Bartlett the fact that the Department of Defense has rejected Gen. Frank Armstrong; s opinion on defense does not close the matter and the Senate Pre- paredness Subcommittee is going to continue to be alert on the matter.
 Because of the difference of opinion between the Dept. of De- fense and Gen. Armstrong, Bart lett feels that the people in this strategic part of the new state should know more about the de- fense program, and just where they stand.

SAN FRANCISCO, RAA Hun garian who helped hijack a plane to escape to the free world and who spoke against Soviet Premier Khrushchev's visit here was found beaten and unconscious early today.
 Ferenc Isazk, 31, president of the Hungarian Freedom Fighters of San Francisco, would say only, II don't remember anything" after police found him in Golden Gate Park.

Russian Premier Happy and Jovial
 In Iowa Tall Corn-Crowing Country
By JOHN SCALI

COON RAPIDS, Iowa, R)-Nik- ita Khrushchev, tired by happy looking, arrived in the heart of Iowa's tall corn country today and announced: "This is going to be a jovial day"
 The Khrushchev motorcade drove into the midst of a scene of enormous confusion and act ivity.
 Thousands of persons, includ- ing school children, had lined the route along Highway Al from Des Moines toward Coon Rapids. The children waved and cheered for the broadly beaming Com munist boss. The Soviet Premier gave no sign that he noticed a gray-haired woman standing among the crowds holding a small American flag draped in black.
 En route the Khrushchev party stopped at one of the several Garst farms along the highway, where workers were busily har- vesting crop of grain sorghum
 Khrushchev showed keen inter est in the proceedings. He tramp ed through the field with his host, asking Garst all sorts of questions about the crop and the machinery used to harvest it.
 Khrushchev's look of fatigue began to drop away and was re- placed by one of eagerness as he questioned Garst about the meth ods he used to feed hogs and chickens
 The security near the Garst home was at least as tight as it was in Washington or any other point on Khrushchev's American tour Helmeted soldiers of the Fifth Army were in evidence everywhere. They kept in touch with one another through port able radio transmitters. Armed guards were on every little bridge along Route Al.
 MT and Mrs. Garst, Khrush- chev's hosts, are old acquaint- ances. They met him in the So- viet Union several years ago, when KhruShchev was beginning to express a keen interest in Am erican corn-growing techniques.

 One-tenth of 1 Percent

WASHINGTON, R- The cost living edged down one-tenth of one per cent last month from July's record high, the Labor De partment reported today.
 A big seasonal drop in food prices, 9/10 of l per cent, was solely responsible for halting the summer spurt of consumer prices.
 Price tags were higher on vir- tually everything else making up the average city family's costs.
 This was nine-tenths of l per cent higher than a year earlier. The figures mean it now takes nearly SIPS to buy what cost a dollar in the years immediately after World War II.
