study educational television needs,
Supt. of Public Instruction Harriet
Miller announced this week.
Miss Miller said that her state

Military Pensions
TO Take So Billion

Retirement pay for military per-
sonnet, now amounting to $710 mil
lion year, will pass 81 billion in
1868 or 1864 and soar to So billion
by about 1870. That prediction was
made last week by the comptroller
of the Department of Defense, Frank
lin B. Lincoln, Jr. Much of the in
crease, he said, will be due to the
large number of men who served in
World War II and remain on reserve
lists. After 20 years they automati-
cally become eligible for retirement
pay. Some military men argue that
the present reserve list is much larger
than necessary or desirable.

High Incomes and Big
Stock Ownership

WASHINGTON, D. c. (AFL-
CIO)-One of the biggest myths be-
ing perpetrated by Wall Street and
Madison Avenue is that most stocks
are owned by Mr.. Average Joe and
his wife. But along comes the Survey
Research Center of the University
of Michigan with a study showing
that only 21s per cent of American
families own AZ per cent of the value
of stock, and just 80 per cent own
% per cent of the value. In short,
almost two-thirds of the dollar value
of stock is owned by less than per
cent of the nations families.
The Michigan survey also shows
that only 6 per cent of families with
incomes of less than $4,000 a year
own stock. On the other hand 55 per
cent of the families with incomes of
$4,000 and more own stock.

Accelerated Federal
Reclamation Program Seen
Needed In Years Ahead

American Public Power Association
The West will need all the irriga-
tion water it can get by economic
means during the next 40 years, ac-
cording to a new report by the U. S.
Bureau of Reclamation to the Senate
Selenct Committee on National Water
Resources.
The report outlines $22 billion
program of public and private de-
velopnent to bring the equivalent of
II million acres of new land under
irrigated cultivation by the year 1000.
Total western irrigation now approx
mates 30.5 million acres, of which less
than one-fourth has been developed
in federal projects.
To achieve the goals set for the
year 1000 will require a development
rate for federal projects of from 2
to 21a times the rate of the past
decade, the report declares.

Major Gains Predicted
For Social Security

The Social Security Act, a quarter
century old last Sunday, will undergo
major changes before it reaches the
half-century mark, according to Di-
rector Nelson HI. Cruikshank of the
AFL-CIO Department of Social Sc
curity.
Writing in the August issue of the
American Federationist, AFL-CIO
monthly publication, on 'The Social
Security Challenge of the Next 25
years." Cruikshank recalls that when
the late President Franklin d. Roose-
welt signed the original act on August
IA. 1885, he called it ga cornerstone
in structure which is being built but
which is by no means complete"
Roosevelt added: "What we are do
ing is good. But it is not good
enough"
In discussing changes in the Old
Age, Survivors and Disability Insur-
ance which he points out
ssis" social security to most people
Cruikshank declares:
''The proportion of present earn
ings that is represented by benefits
on retirement must be materially in
creased for workers in the middle
upper income brackets. A worker
with average wages in industry today
receives only about 80 per cent of his
present earnings. In order to keep
pace with the rising levels of living
and to maintain confidence in the
system on the upper wage ranges, he
should receive at least so per cent
of his earnings on retirement.
''To achieve this the wage base
which is taxed to finance retirement |
benefits will have to be tripled, or
at the very least doubled"

will not be unusual-in fact, they
should average that" he predicts
''Thus social security benefits for a
retired couple should be up to about
$500 month";"
Not only the retirement system but
the other programs set up in the So
cial Security Act will require changes,
"some of them major" in the next 25
years eff they are to be kept current
with needs and our capacity to meet
them," Cruikshank writes.
Some time during the coming
quarter-century, he maintains, unem-
ployment insurance must be combined
with a nationwide temporary disabil-
ity benefits program into san income
maintenance plan for the work force,
with benefits for those who are I'M
employed and willing to work, and for
those who are unable to work be-
cause of illness or injury"
sThere will be both basic and
emergency supplemental benefit lev
els" he predicts. ''The basic weekly
benefit will be fixed by law at So
per cent to rs per cent of the indi-
wage loss. An economic COM
vii be empowered to supple
ment these levels during a deep or
recession up to the normal
full-time weekly wage"
Public assistance will remain an
important second line of defense
against economic insecurity" during
the next 20 years, he says. 1t is sun
he adds, to expect that
the federal role in easing poverty
Twill be geared to the cause of the
need rather than to the need itself"
sPeople today can get help if they
are old, disabled, blind or are, or have
n their care, dependent children" he
explains. ''But if they are unemployed
md not eligible for unemployment
compensation, they can get no assist
ance in most states though they may
lave dependent families.
''The social security principles which |
he last 25 years have proved sound
will certainly be applied to new areas
# need in the years ahead"
Cruikshank flatly predicts that eff
ot this year, certainly next year or
t the latest by 1862" the principle
f social insurance will be applied
o the cost of medical care for older
eople. Once this Hmost difficult
hase'' of the problem of providing
God medical care is solved, then pri-
ate insurance will be free to under
IKE coverage for people in their pro-
uctive years. II

MSU Also Enters
Educational Tv Field

-Montana's first ven
ture into educational television at
the university level will start in late
September, when Montana State Uni
versity and KMSO-TV of Missoula
will jointly present first-year col
lege chemistry course, Modern
Chemistry"
Produced by the NBC Network TV
Program for College Credit, the
chemistry course will be broadcast
on KMSO-TV starting Sept. &c, and
will run for one-half hour each day
Mondays through Fridays during the
school year. The course has been pre-
pared on film under the direction of
the American Association of Colleges
for Teacher Education, the American
Chemical Society, and NBC.
Zone interesting feature of the
course is the frequent use of guest
lecturers. Viewers will see many of
the country's outstanding chemists
discussing topics they have been in
strumental in developing. Nine of
these lecturers are Nobel Prize win
ners, including DR.. Harold C. Urey,
Montana State University alumnus,
who will discuss heavy water and the
isotopes of hydrogen" according to
Professor R. X. Osterheld of the MSU
chemistry department.
Modern Chemictry" will be pre-
scented as a three-credit course dur
ing all three quarters of the coming
school year. Although intended pri-
marily as service to science teach
ers, it also is open to enrolment for
University credit to any high school
graduate who does not already have
credit for first-year chemistry
course, Osterheld said. Gifted high |
school students may also take the
course for high school credit if their
instructors approve, the MSU pro-
fessor added.
All inquiries regarding enrolment
in the course should be directed to
him at the University Chemistry De-
partment, DR.. Osterheld commented.
