FREEZING CHINESE FUNDS There was one unwritten chapter in the story of American freezing of furds of those two Oriental neigh bor, Japan and China. It was published that the funds of friendly China were frozen as well as the funds of unfriendly Jn;.an. But unpublished was the fact that China for four months had been asking the state department to freeze its funds, but the state de partment had refused. China's request was quite unusual, for most nations object strenuously to having their funds frozen. For ins'. rice, Switzerland, hearing that she would be included with Ger many when Hitler's funds were fro zen, argued for weeks. E-t in the case of China, many of i t r funds are in the hands of big Chinese merchants and bankers in Shanghai, who for business reasons are playing with the Japanese, And they have been draining Chinese currency from the country. So Roosevelt's special Chinese emissary, Lauchlin Currie, was re quested by Chiang Kai-shek to ask Secretary of State Hull to freeze Chinese funds. This would have ham strung the pro-Japanese Chinese. However, Secretary Hull refused. Twice Chiang Kai-shek made the re quest, but both times it was refused. In fact the state department even Jenied that such a request was made, presumably on the ground that it came not through diplomatic channels, but through Mr. Currie .v ho is only a White House secre tary. Finally, however, when Japanese funds were frozen, Chiang Kai-shek -ot his request fulfilled. But it took Japanese aggression in the South Pacific to do it. BOOTLEG GASOLINE The days of bootlegging from Canada may be coming back again. In this case, however, the bootleg ging will be gasoline, not alcohol. Canada has imposed a ban on sale of gasoline between 7 p. m. and 7 a. m. on weekdays, and all day Sun day. But this restriction does not apply to Americans. Now comes the proposal of Oil Administrator Ickes to impose a similar ban on gasoline sales in -astern states. Result would be that a motorist would be unable to juy gasoline in Buffalo or Detroit, but could cross the river and buy it in Canada. MERRY-GO-ROUND Administrationites are quietly throwing their weight behind the candidacy of Francis Miller, mili tant New Dealer, for the Virginia legislature. Miller is being opposed by the Old Guard machine led by Sen. Harry Byrd. To out-of-town friends who call on him, President Roosevelt is present ing copies of "America," absorbing booklet written by David Cushman Doyle. The President says he con siders the booklet the best summa tion of the American creed he has . ver read. Cheap F. C.

Social Security NEWS Increased employment, result ing from the national defense pro garni, means jobs for many older men who have been without work for a long time. Some of these older workers, who retired from their regular jobs after reaching age 05 and claimed payment of monthly old-age insurance bene fits, are going back to work for business concerns or industrial plants. Most of these men under stand that no one has a right to monthly payments of old-age or survivors insurance benefits while, at the same time, he is earning good wages in a job that comes un der the act. They know also that they should advise the Social Se curity Board when they have found work so that payments of benefits may be discontinued while they are so employed. How ever, a small number of such workers have failed to notify the Social Security Board that they have found jobs, although they have returned to work in factor ies, shops, stores, construction ivork or other covered employ ment. This statement was made today by G R. Parker, Regional Director of the Social Security Board, who said also that each claimant has had an opportunity to learn that he must report such re-employment. This information is given to him in connection with his (1) application for benefits, (2) in the award letter, (3) in suc ceeding letters, and (4) in verbal explanations by the Social Secur ity Board field office. When government authorities learn that a worker has received or is receiving waees of $15 a -U nrxA Una olarv acli-l IIlUUi.li Ui iliui C ciim iito wuiw v o 1' 1 1 ed his old-age and survivors in surance check, it becomes neces sary to assess a penalty. The min imum penalty consists of loss to the recipient of the amount of the benefits which he received for the month or months in which he earn ed good wages. The penalty may be double that amount if the claimant, knowingly, failed to re-i port. I Mr. Parker explained that, in this case, "wages" meanu ea-ninrs of $15 or more in a job. that la covered by the Social Sec urn cc. If total earnings of wages is less than $15 per month no report is necessary and there is no loss of monthly benefits. A beneficiary might earn as much ag $14.99 per month, or any sort of job, and still receive his monthly, payments of old-age and survivors insurance. But, if his wages in covered em ployment amount to $15 or more, in any one month, his old-age in surance payment for that partic ular month will not be allowed. The retired worker, taking a job, is required to notify the Social Se curity Board, only when the job is one of those covered by the law and the wages earned equal or ex ceed $15 in any month. He may work in other types of employment such as farming, domestic ser vice, public school teaching, gov ernment service or he may have a business of his own, and contin ue to receive his monthly pay ments. The Regional Director called at tention to the fact that the same -by Mai TOGETHER TO GUARD ARMy AND NAW. M: regulation applies to the widows or to sons and daughters surviving deceased workers who were insur ed under the system. For ex ample, an insured worker's widow who is receiving monthlly pay ments of survivors insurance might take a job in a shop, store, hotel or in other covered employ, ment. If she earned as much as $15 per month or more she should notify the Social Security Board at the end of the first month she works in this job. Her own ben efit payments will be discontinued during the time that she is so em ployed. Under ordinary circum stances the monthly payments will begin again as soon as the benefic iary leaves regular employment. It was pointed out that a child's benefits will continue even though the widow's payments are stopped while she is earning wages in, cov ered employment. Likewise, a son or a daughter might find a job and, thereby, lose his or her benefits during the period of employment and still the widow's monthly ben efits would continue, if she were unemployed Any field office of the Social Security Board will furnish a post card from which the beneficiary may use to notify the Board that hrf or she has gone back to work. There is available, also, another card which the worker may use to appiy for re-instatement of ben efit payments when he again re tires. Both cards are supplied free of charge and, if requested, the field manager will assist in fill ing out the form. COLORED NEWS STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! READ! BE PRESENT!

EVFW WEEK N. C. Part Of Soldiers Life Is To Attend School Each Day CAMP DAVIS, N. C, Aug. 14. In most places vacation time is drawing to a close and students are preparing to return to class rooms, but such is not the case at Camp Davis, where thousands of officers and men have been at tending classes all summer long. It might seem strange to the public, as it did at first to the sol diers, that military training is not confined to field operations. At any hour of the day or early eve ning a visitor to Camp Davis could see military personnel attending classes, taking notes, and prepar ing the next day's "lesson." There are 23 'distinct schools in operation of the post and many of them are conducted between the hours of C and 10 P M. daily so as not to interfere with routine training. htv officers and 750 soldiers are attending the Barrage Balloon school, only one of its kind in the aimy, studying possible uses of the barrage balloon and working out tactical problems. The school will last 12 weeks, after which an other will be organized. Through co-operation of the WPA an educational program has been instituted in the camp to teach men elementary (non-mill itary) subjects as well as more advanced studies such as foreign languages. Actually, this is a com bination of schools. Approximate ly 800 soldiers are enrolled, with two regimental groups yet to be organized. Although the Barage Balloon and WPA schools have the largest enrollmlent, the others ate equal ly important. Additional schools include the following: Motor mechanics, clerks (sup ply), intelligence, band, radio chaplains, telephone, height find ers, 37 mm guns, M-4 director, 37 mm trainer, artillery mechanics, meteorological, communications, bayonet, cooks and mess sergeants, orchestra, officers, buglers, basic medical training, glee club, and ob server and plotter school. The courses mentioned here are intensive. Students in the cooks and mess sergeants school, for ex ample, must attend for a total of 320 hours, studying organization of the army mess, nutrition and food, the army ration, principles and practice of cooking, mes? management, and drill for foot troops. It is interesting to note that men attending the buglers school must study may reading and sketching, scouting and patroling, signaling, and use observing instr jnients, in addition to musical instruction and ceremonies. Officers' schools are in contin uous operation on the post. In a typical regiment, the 96th C. A., 21 separate courses are nearing completion and more will follow. Then, too, numerous officers and ertlisted men are- being named to attend schools away from the post. There are specialists schools throughout the country and the most promising soldiers are given an opportunity to polish up their specialty. A soldier who completes a spec ialist's course has an excellent chance to advance, it has been pointed out. Tomatoes G. W. Huntley of Beaufort is canning his own tomatoes this year about 18,000 Mo.
