out, it is now easier for a dis
abled worker to qualify for
benefit payments. He no longer
needs social security credit for
~ years of work in the last
3 years before he became dis
abled. If he worked under So
cial security for a least S years
out of the 10 before he became
disabled he may be eligible for
disability benefits.
Increases in average benefit
payments reflect the 7 percent
raise in benefit amounts which
became effective with the checks
for January 1882" Sullivan said
Average disability benefit pay
ments also reflect the elimina-
ton of the so-called "offset"
provision in the old law. Dis
ability benefits under social Sc
curity are now PAYABLE in full
even though benefits are also
payable under State workmen's
compensation or under some
other Federal Government pro-
gram.

for quick transportation would
fall upon the railroads.
He said that new concepts of
warfare and defense do not
change this basic reliance on
railroads. '1n fact, the ability of
the railroad to bounce back,
even from nuclear attack,
makes them more important
than ever" he declared. "At
Hiroshima, regular rail service
was resumed within l8 hours
after the bomb was dropped"
Meanwhile" Mr.. Dale con-
cluded, both Soviet Russia and
Communist China are expand
ing their railroads. Soviet Rus
sia carried more ton-miles of
freight in 1858 than American
railroads and its railroads are
still being expanded. Commun-
ist China's second ve-Year
Plan, begun last year, calls for
the construction of 5000 miles
of line in addition to the 5000
miles completed under the first
plan in 1857.

ally at a rate of nearly 10 bill
lion dollars annually"
There were several reasons
for the increase in beneficiaries
over last year," Sullivan said.
The long-term growth of the
aged population and of the pro-
portion of aged population elig-
ible for benefits are important
factors in the continuing in
crease in the number of bene-
ficiaries. Other reasons for the
increase of beneficiaries are
found in the provisions of the
1858 Amendments to the Social
Security Act which now make
it possible for the wife, depend
ent husband, and children of a
disabled-worker beneficiary to
receive monthly paym e n t S.
These amendments also provide
for benefits to aged dependent
parents of a deceased worker
even though other survivors are
entitled to payments.

Xmas Clubs Reach
AH-Time Record

The sharp rebound from the
1858 recession was emphasized
again today when Edward F.
Dorset, president of Christmas
Club a Corporation, released fig
'ures for the 1859 club. The total
accumulation this year is one
billion, four hundred and five
million dollars which some g.
900 banks and savings institu-
tions will distribute to over
thirteen million Christmas Club
members.
Evidently the American peo-
pie are aware that economic
strength is as vital as guns and
missiles because they are GER
tainly taking steps to ensure
their individual financial secur-
ity," said MIR. Dorset. "It's a sig
nificant thing that over thirteen
million Americans have carried
through a savings program m
which they had faith enough to
start in a recession year. OF
course they will use part of it
for Christmas but they plan to
invest over so percent of the
total in long-term financial
goals"
The year 1859 marks the
eighth successive year that the
club disbursements have exceed
ed a billion dollars and the 1859
accumulation, folio owing G the
trend of the past several years,
is about 3 percent larger than
in 1858. The average check this
year amounts to $l08.00 per
member.
Two hundred and five finan-
cial institutions had clubs in ex-
cess of $1,000,000 each. New
York led the so states with D.
676,636 members and $284,7l9,-

Putting a man on the moon
NAV turn out to be a lot easier
than transporting defense forces
and material across these United
States in an all-out mobilization.
That's the opinion of Robert
w. Dale, Jr., foreign freight
agent, Canton Railroad, who
claims that the rails ability to
handle an all-out defense effort
is being seriously impaired by
government policy.
Principal cause of the prob
lem, according to DR.. Dale, is
that the government with one
hand gives enormous financial
and other assistance to railroad
competitors while the other art
ifically restricts the railroads in
their efforts to compete" Mr..
Dale spoke before the regular
monthly meeting of the Railroad
Community Committee of Balti-
more, held in Baltimore this
week.
Lacking Reserve
"The railroad industry does
not today have the reserve
equipment to meet the emer-
gency increase in traffic it had
in l940,' Mr.. Dale said. The
competitive inequities that have
kept rail earnings below four
per cent-compared to IL per
cent in manufacturing, for ex-
ample-make it impossible to
keep this basic national trans
portation system prepared for a
defense emergency"
MIR. Dale pointed out that the
situation today would be even
worse if the rails, despite their
poor earnings, had not managed
to obtain $l4 billion for capital
improvements since the end OF
World War II.
He described the passenger
car situation as being most
critical of ALL" pointing out that
since 1914 ownership of passen-
ger carrying railroad cars has
declined from more than 81, ,OOO
to about 10000, a loss OF one
third. He said that some rail Of
ficials estimate that railroads to-
day are more than 20 per cent
short of the number of freight
cars and locomotives required
to move the volume OF traffic
required in an all-out effort.
Heavy Burden
Yet, MIR. Dale stressed, rail
roads are the most efficient and
most economical users of fuel
and manpower of any general
form of transportation ano
would be called upon to carry
the major transportation burden
in time of war;" He quoted
Chairman Kenneth c. Tuggle OF
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission as authority for the
statement that the coun y
would find itself short of gaso'
line, oil, rubber tires and neces'
sary automotive parts in ar
emergency so that the demand
