following from Republican whip:

what they will be-" According
ly, all members are urged to
be present on Monday, August
22nd."
l shall most certainly be
present on the 22nd, frankly
curious to know what the ma
jority plans to do. During the
first three months of 1860, very
little legislation of Importance
was accomplished. Looking
back it would seem that delay
ing tactics were responsible for
the present session. The work
could have been finished before
the two National conventions.
Only a miracle can keep these
coming weeks from being used
for the benefit of candidates
rather than for the benefit of
the American people.
Social Security
The Secretary of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare recently
sent me an interesting tabula-
tion showing the number of
people receiving old-age and
survivors insurance benefits
and the amount of money being
paid monthly. This shows that
in the State of Ohio a total of
746,460 persons are receiving
Social Security benefits. The
total amount Of the payments
going to these individuals each
month is S4S,881 ,O69. In Cuya-
hoga County 129,262 persons
are receiving a total Of $780,
173 in monthly benefits.
For the country as a whole
at the first of this year more
than 13 million persons were
receiving old-age and survivors
insurance benefits at a monthly
rate of S845 million. About 73I
percent of all people aged IS or
over are receiving old-age and
survivors benefits or are eli
gible to receive them when they
or their spouses retire. The
mothers and children in 9 out
of 10 families would be able to
draw monthly survivors insur-
ance benefits today if the
breadwinner were to die.
Nations Health
The administrations deep
concern about the health of the
American people is clearly
shown by the steadily increas-
ing sums of money budgeted
for medical research over the
past seven years. In 1868, for
example, the Federal govern
ment was allotting less than
$58 million a year toward med
ical research. This year it is
channeling $400 million into |
these research programs and
plans to increase this amount |

RICHMOND TO USE SLEEP PILLS
TO QUIET PESKY PIGEONS

RICHMOND (AP).-Richmond's Health Department

The idea is to get rid Of the pigeons whove infested

The formula is to Cd put the pigeons to sleep, C)
grab 'em while they're in the land Of nod and Cd kill
them.
Chief Sanitarian John Pipes says the sleeping pills
made Of tibromethano and they're supposed to put the
bird that eats them asleep AS arrive from
the manufacturer, he'll put few to use.
But right now, Mr.. Pipes says he doesn't expect to
destroy any the pigeons he catches for fear they might
have squads in their nests This he thinks would be unfair

Imre Boko Dies; Led
Hungarian Revolt Force

Imre Baka, 48, a leader In
the unsuccessful Hungarian up
rising against the Communists
in 1856. died of leukemia yes
terday in the Washington Hos
pital Center.
just seven months ago, Mr..
Baka's father, Imre P. Baka.
died of the same disease. Mr..
Baka did not discover that he
too was a victim of the illness
until last September.
Mr.. Baka. who lived at 3700
Albemarle street NV, had al
ways admired the United States
and had often planned to leave
his native. Budapest and come
to this country. But problems
always seemed to arise to pre-
vent his trip.
In November, 1856, under the
tragic circumstances of the
revolt against communism, Mr..
Baka's desire was fulfilled.
Assaults on Reds
Mr.. Baka formed a 1000
man force from fellow workers
at the inter-city bus company
where he was employed as a
driver at the outbreak of the
revolt in October, 1856.
Under Mr.. Baka's command
the force led assaults against
the Budapest police barracks
and other Communist strong
holds. When Russian troops
poured into the city to put
down the revolt, Mr.. Baka's
small force saw his danger
and smuggled him across the
Hungarian border in a bus be-
longing to the company for
which he had once worked.
Got Job Here
With his wife, Maria, and
two sons. Imre, jr., and Istvan,
Mr.. Baka made his way to the
United States.
