Social Security
Insurance Hik
WASHINGTON, July 28.—(AP)
«-On the average, persons now
drawing Social Security benefits
under the old-age and survivors
insurance system can look forward
to a 77% percent increase in their
¢hecks under legislation nearing
final Congressional action.
A Senate-House conference
eomimttee plans to go over a final
draft of the bill next Tuesday. It
is hopeful it will be passed and
sent on to President Truman for
his signature before the end of the
week.
With its enactment, higher pay
ments for some 3,000,000 old folks
or their survivors and dependents
would become effective October 1,
The Increases would be greatest—
up to 100 percent—ifor those at the
bottem end of the benefit scale
ang. smallest for those at the top
en
In determining the new benefits
for those aiready on the rolls, the
bill makes use of a conversion ta
ble. It simply provides that a per
son now getting $lO will get S2O, a
person getting sll will get $22 and
s 0 on, although the doubling is
only for the lower brackets.,
If & retired worker has a wife
65 years of age or older, his ben
efit would be increased by 50 per
cent, liust as it is under present
law. It also would be increased 50
percent for each dependent child.
Thus if a man were entitled to
a primary benefit of SSO and had
a wife 65 or over, he would re
ceive $75. If he also had a de
pendent child, he would get $100;
if he had two dependent children,
he would get $125.
But the bill puts a top of $l5O
on total benefits to a family. The
present maximum is SBS.
Benefits for those already re
tired are computed on a basis up
to a maximum $3,000 a year earn
ings. Under the new bill, tax pay
mentp are to range up to a $3,600
earning maximum, with benefits
figured up to S3OO maximum
monthly earnings.
800,000
(Continued From Page One)
are being dropped.
A total of $75 monthly would be
paid to a wife, husband or de
pendent parent, with the GI chip
ping in S3O of that amount. For
two dependent parents the sum
would be S9O. For each child the
allowance would be $25, unless
the enlisted person were the only
parent, in which case-S6O would be
allowed.
Both Government payments and
deductions from the serviceman’s
pay would be increased in compar~
ison t 6 World War 11. In the last
war, a 8 serviceman’s wife got SSO
of which he paid $22.
The House Armed Services
Committee, continuing its apprais
al of military expansion plans,
called the Army in for questioning
behind elosed doors.
Ten of Rensselaer Polytechnie
Institute’s varsity lettermen dur
ing the Fast year also won mem
bership in Sigma Xi, national hon
orary scientific research society.

Too Many Moms "Stand-Back”
When They Should Advance
I've just been reading one of
those question and answer pages
on how to handle your child, writ
ten for a magazine by presumably
an expert on child training. Any
how, there’s an impressive Ph. D.
after the author’s name.
Here’'s a sample question and
answer: “What does one do when
an angry child slams a door in
one’s face?”’
Answer: “Stand back. Then do
nothing until you have reason to
believe that the child’'s anger has
cooled off. Trying to reason with

fighting, as she has in Korea
Picture in Asia
Asia is a different picture. In
that part of the world there are
unlimited millions of Communist
indoctrinated Asiaties to do Rus
sia’s fighting. Korea demonstrated
that.
Because Russia’s land forces al
ready are advanced in prepared
ness and strength far beyond the
conmrbined armies of the Upited
States and her allies, estimates
‘about the timetable seenf to be
‘ predicated largely on Soviet avia
tion build-up efforts.
There is evidence that in some
categories of plane production,
ours is only a tiny fraction of Rus
sia’s. This may be especially true
in the case of jet fighters and
fighter-bombers designed for sup
port of ground forces.
What about her strategic bomb
ers, the planes she would use to
wage atomic warfare against free
Europe—and possibly against the
United States industrial heart
land,
Air Power
For the kind of war she prob
ably would fight, the Soviet Union
doesn’t need the ultra-long range
B-36s we would require to bomb
Russian targets.
She is getting bombers in con
stantly increasing numbers much
like our B-29s and B-50s. They
fit her need. With them, all of
Europe and the British Isles
would be within easy range.
By operating from bases in
eastern Siberia, American targets
in the northwest United States
would be within range. By seizing
airheads in Alaska, the striking
range would move eastward to
encompass industrial centers of
the midwest and northeast.
When and if Russia decides the
time for an outright showdown
with the free world is at hand, it
is to be expected she will want to
strikf by air, heavily, savagely,
widely, at the instant her im
mense ground armies jump off for
invasion.

an angry person is like hitting
your head against the proverbial
stone wall, When the child is in a
good mood, explain to him how
dangerous door-slamming can be.
Cio so far as to give him a descrip
fion of how a person can lose a
finger from a slammed door. Sev
eral talks of this sort are general
lv enough to cure a door slammer.”
What got me about that answer
was the command, “Stand back.”
In one phrase or another, that is
what today’s parents are constant
ly being told. Stand back. Wait.
Don’t try to force an issue. Real
ize the child is just going through
a “stage” — and so on and on.
And along with all this “stand
back and wait” advice—there is
never any suggestion that children
should be taught to respect grown
ups because they are grown-ups
and parents because they are
parents.
HOW ABOUT JOHNNY'S SEAT?
You don’t, you notice, see any
thing in the answer quoted about
Mama’s making it clear to Johnny
that she isn’t going stand for hav
ing a door slammed in her face—
that it's something no parent ought
to stand for and that if it ever
happens again, it isn't Mama’s
‘finger that is likely to be hurt
Bt Johnny's seat. .. U
Nope. Mama is told to stand
back and when Johnny is his own
sweet self again to try to convince
him that door slmming can be dan
gerous.
If Johnny is half the little rebel
he appears to be, he ought to have
a ready answer to Mama’s attemot
to show him that if slams a door
in her face he might catch her
finger. ¢
" The answer: “Then, when I
slam a door you'd better stand
back.” ”

Stirs England
In Latest Atfire
By NEA Foreign Service
LONDON — (NEA) — Titled
Britishers are whispering over
their tea and crumpets. And un
titled Britishers are whispering
over their pint of bitters.
Their whispers go something
like this: “She’s a wonderful wo
man, but that awful dress—gor
blimey!”
Object of their eriticism is
Queen Elizabeth, who appeared at
the very fashionable Somerest-
Thynne wedding in a long print
dress with a big hat and long
gloves and open-toed shoes. i
When the pictures of Her Royal
Highness th e Queen first appear
ed, nothing much happened. But
when a newspapor took HRH the
Q to task for wearing “clothes that
do not do her justice,” the whispers
erupted like ~~~-vrys, 4
Defenders
There are many who®defend the
Queen, saying she can wear any
thing she pleases. If she wants to
wear a long print dress with a big
hat and long gloves and open-toed
shoes, she can jolly well wear a
long print dress with a big hat,
etc., they say.
But there are others who think
that, as Queen, she has an obliga
tion to dress in the latest fashion.
The newspaper that first men
tioned the ticklish subject feels
that way.
“How the Queen dresses is of
immense interest to all the women
in Britain,” the paper said, “for
thev feel that she represents
them.”
Critic A
The paper criticized the Queen’s
wedding outfit on six points:
1. The hat, they said, was “too
large, too heavy and too droop
ing.” ;
2. The pattern of the dress was
called ‘“better on a furnishing
fabric.”
3. “The skimpy cape” was dis
approved of as being “both broad
ening and shortening,” two direc=
tions in which Her Majesty appar
ently needs no outside help.
4. The paper thought the “dark
edging makes the dress look like
a dressing-gown with the sash un
done.” . b
5. The gloves, too, were bad.
'lyey were “too heavi looking and
add unnecessary bulk to the fig
ure.”

Misguided Effort
Wrapping the whole nasty busi
ness up, the paper said, “All in all,
(the costume was) a, misguided
effort that will not enhance our
growing reputation as a fashion
conscious nation.”
To take the curse off the crit
ique, the paper added a few choice
compliments. The Quéen, they
said, usually looks ‘“‘serenely love
ly.” She is a ‘“delightful person
ality.” On most ocecasions she . is
“superby dressed.” And at night
time, when she is %ressed in her
“erinoline and jewels” she is ‘“‘a
regal figure, who might have step
ped out of the romantic past,”
But the gals in Great Britain
are hanging over their back fenc
es, speaking in hushed tones-of
the way the Queen Jlooked at
the Somerset-Thynne wedding.
Whether they approve or disap
nrove, it's the biggest thing to hit

This carried them within about 60

RECORDER’'S COURT
Charges of drunkenness and the
case of a drunk driver highlighted
actioh. in Recorder’s Court this
morning as Judge Price heard a
total of four cases.
A Co-Op Cab driver was fined
S2OO, his taxi permit was revoked
and his driver’s license suspended
for 60 days after being = found
guilty ‘of driving under the in
fluence of alcohol.
He was arrested last night after
a spree of wild driving on Pulaski
and Broad streets. He had three
passengers with him at the time,
two of which were also drinking,
arresting cfficers testified.
There was also a question raised
by the court as to whether the
youth obtained his taxi permit un
der false pretence. He gave his
age as 21 on the taxi permit, but
his driver’s license listed him as
19.
He told the court he did not
know how old he was.
A farmer who came to town for
a drink, since it had rained too
much to work his fields, was fined
$25.75 today. The fine was slight
ly heavier than usual since he was
reported prowling in a parked car
near the YMCA. He told the court
U. §. And Canada Strengthen
Defenses In Soo Canal Area
WASHINGTON — New guns
are moving into place along the
“most important mile in Ameri
-oa.”
The United States and Cana
dian Governments, spurred by the
international crisis, have ordered
increased antiaircraft defenses and
a strengthening of security meas
uses around the vital Soo Canal
system, connecting Lake Superior
with Lake Huron at the twin
towns of Sault Sainte Marie in
Michigan and Ontario.
This military protection of the
Soo area — lifeline of American
heavy industry—is reminiscent of
World War II when a guard of
12,000 soldiers from infantry, anti
aircraft, military police, chemical
warfare, ordnance and intelligence
units occupied the United States
Sau]t Sainte Marie twin, whose
civilian population is ondy about
15,000.
In those days the entire sec
tion was a military district and
under strict censorship, notes the
National Geographic Society. An
airplane spotter system for the re
gion extended from Canada’s Hud
son Bay to Tennessee.
Many Barrage Ballons
Over 40 anti-aircraft guns and,
at one time, more than 50 barrage
balloons protected the one and
three-quarter mile canal route
over which 90 per cent of United
States iron ore passed on the way
to war factories. y

MOONSHINE RAID SEQUEL
In follow-up action to a raid by
city officers early yesterday,
County and Federal officers, late
yesterday, arrested two negroes
for possessing 12 gallons of non
tax paid whiskey.
Sheriff Tommy Huff and Agent
T. Y. Harris and L. A. Mika ar
rested Rufus Jackson and Ray
mond Brown at their home near
Mitchell’s Bridge.
The raid followed a previous
raid on the home of Richard Jack
son, on North Hull, brother to Ru
fus, by city police, where three
and a half gallons of moonshine
were found.
Officers believe the brothers op
erated on a partnership basis, one
to city and the other to county
customers.
War or pezce, however, the Soo
Canal system ‘s of No. 1 economic
importance. The five locks—four
American, one Canadian — carry
in eight months more than the
combined 12-month ship traffic of
the Panama, Suez and Kiel Canals.
Ships packed with raw materials
for United States industry and
food for' eastern population pass
through the locks on average of
one every 18 minutes, 24 hours a
day, except in winter.
This great “Northwest pas
sage,” joining the rich iron ranges
and limestone pjts of Michigan
and Minnesota with factory cities
of the Midwest and East, is ex
pected to clear this year between
70,000,000 and 75,000,000 tons of
iron ore, approaching the all-time
1948 record of 85,000,000. s
The locks’ reputation as a fab
ulous breadline between the wheat
fields of North Dakota, Montana
and Minnesota and the East might
well be sustained with mention of
1949 wheat movements—exceed~
ing 8,000,000 tons!
Had Small Beginning
To handle these and other enor
mous cargoes, the canals carried
last year 22,157 vessels with 96,-
000,000 tons of material — & far
cry from the mere handful of
ships with less than 15,000 cargo
tons which plied the first, two
lock canal in 1855.
Inadequate as that eanal proved
to be, it was something elose to
'a miracle for the time. Charles
Harvey, a young New England
businessman, began its eonstruc
tion in 1853 with 400 imported
laborers. Although Sault Sainte
Marie was in the midst of an iron
and copper boom, it seemed so
distant that Henry Clay called it
“beyond the remofest settlements
of the United Sates, if not the
moon.”
Harvey had to import stone for
the locks from Lake Erie, iron for
the gates from distant Pennsyl
vania. The nearest telegraph of
fice was Detroit, 450 miles away.

Plane For Jekyll
-
Toll Bridge Set
ATLANTA, July 28—(AP)«
Gov. Herman Talmadge today dh
rected the state’s Jekyll Island Aue
thority to proceed with plans fog
a toll bridge to the island parlk,
to be financed through privatd
capital.
Talmadge declined use of state
funds for the bridge now, but de
clared the state would have to put
up the money if private financing
cannot be obtained.
If state funds are used, the fed
eral government also would con
tribute part of the cost and the
bridge would be toll free.
The Glynn county eommission
already has offered to aid in rais
ing funds for a toll bridge.
Another Rocket
Test Prepared
Long Range Proving Ground,
Cocoa, Fla., July 28— (AP)—An
other two-stage rocket will zoom
out over the Atlantic here tomor
row in a repeat performance of
Monday’s firing.
The rocket will be fired on 2
horizontal course at 7 a. m. (EST).
Information obtained from to
morrow’s launching will be com
pared with that gained Monday.
At that time a captured German
V-2 whistled eastward at 2,700
miles an hour. When it had gone
eight and a half miles up and
fifteen miles out, the 14-ton Ger
man rocket released a 70-pound
missile which may have attained
a speed of 5,000 miles an hour. Its
performance is a military secret.
The smaller rocket, known as
a “Wac Corporal,” is a scientific
rather than military weapon,
