Big Job Tax Reserves, Small Benefits Hit By the Ascociated Press. 1 NEW YORK, May 6.—While relief | officials sought a means to prevent | acute suffering among the jobless, the Nation’s unemployment insur- ance funds had a collective reserve of more than one and a half. billion dollars at the end of 1939, the Amer- ican Association for Social Security | said yesterday. | Small unemployment benefit pay- ments—averaging $84.24 a year—ac- { counted for the condition, the asso. ciation, an independent, organization | engaged for 13 yvears in the study | of social insurance, said in the May | issue of Social Security, reporting | on a survey of the operation of the | country’s 51 separate unemployment | insurance administrations. The “failure” of the present set- up is indicated, the association said, by low payments and their short duration.

C, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1940. Green Issues Warning Against Pension Schemes Members of the American Federa- tion of Labor were warned yester- | day by Willlam Green, the presi- dent, to beware of “blue sky” old-age pension schemes. “Persons baiting you with Town- send plans, ‘ham and eggs,’ or soft promises of $60 a month when you are 55 or 60, if single, and $90 if married, never tell you what the plan will cost, who will pay for it, or prove that you really will get it,” he said in a pamphlet that analyzed pension operation. He set this security goal for labor: “Jobs first with good wages and working conditions, insurance next to provide income and a reasonable protection against huge expenses during periods of unemployment and illness for the worker and his de- pendents, and income in his old age which is in reasonable proportion to the whole program of social pro- tection—that is a plan organized labor can honestly support and for which our millions of workers can reasonably work. That is a program worth paying for, one which keeps a fair relationship between individual and social efforts.” Dr. Ballou to Speak Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent of public schools, will be prin- cipal speaker at a vocational and educational guidance meeting at 10 am. Saturday in the Dennison Vo- cational School. The meeting is sponsored by the District of Co- lumbia Vocational Association. RECIPE OF THE ) MCCORMICK CONSUMER BOARD Y - 1S, =3 1% oups oream 2 tipe.
