By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. — The
Social Security Board, laying
plans to replace thousands of "poor
houses" .with its old-age pension
program, today announced estab-
lishment of-56 field offices to di-
rect enlistment of 26,000,000 work-
ers.
More than 45,000 postoffice em-
.-ployes have been named as "re-
cruiting officers” to supply regis-
tration cards and information to
those eligible to participate in the
'largest insurance program in his-
tory.
The bureau, through co-opera-
tion of the postoffice, will begin an
eight-day census Nov. 16 of vir-
tually all farm workers. Govern-
ment employes and domestic help
being the principal exceptions—of
the country's business and indus-
trial employes and their employers
for cataloguing in federal files.
Bigger Job Than Bonus
The task, overshadowing even
the World War draft and the re-
cent soldiers' bonus payment, is
necessary before the Government
puts its old age pension system in
actual operation next Jan. I.____
On that date, the Social Security
Board will collect 2 per cent of
the nation’s’ payroll billions, paid
half by the employers and half by
the employes. The joint levy will
increase to 6 per cent by 1949.
The Government will pay pen-
sions from the fund ranging from
$10 to $85 a month, depending on
a worker's income, after January
► 1, 1942, to all eligible employes
reaching 65 years. If a person dies
before that age, his estate will re*
ceive hi* benefit* inn lump sum.
Two other phases of the secur-
ity program- unemployment com-
pensation and health-welfare ac-
tivities for needy — already are
functioning.
The board will compress ’next
week's census task into these
steps:
1. Postmen will distribute forms
entitled "employers’ applications
for social security account num-
ber" to employers throughout the
country. The security law defines
an employer as any person, cor-
poration. partnership or combine
paying wages to eight or more
persons.
2. Employers must fill in the
questionnaires and return the
blanks to Washington by Nov. 21,
giving data on the number of
workers they employ and wages
paid each individual.
3. The same employers will be
supplied on Nov. 24, again by
mail, with forms to distribute to
all their workers. These blanks
will be labeled “Applications for
Social Security Account Number."
Income To Be Huge
4. Each employe must answer
questions relating to his or her
age, sex, wages and name of em-
plover, returning the information
postage free to the Social Security
Board. Officials estimated 26,000,-
000 persons will file returns. They
expect approximately that number
will receive benefits, although
workers may waive their pension
and remain on their jobs.
5. The board will issue identifi-
cation cards to each employe ex-
cept agricultural workers, domes-
tics, railroad workers under the
Railroad Retirement Act, sailors,
Federal and State employes and
persons engaged in non-profit en-
terprises. They are excluded from
the program.
6. The board will establish a
26,000,000-name filing system cov-
ering every individual account
with a complete record of each
worker’s employment, earnings
and vital statistic data. The file
is being compiled in Baltimore.
The U. S. Treasury estimated
— the tax would yield $247,000,000
in 1937; have money pouring in at
the rate of $1,000,000,000 a year
In 194 7; $1,700,000,000 In 1950;
$1,800,000,000 by 1960; $1,960,000,-
000 in 1970 and a permanent maxi-
mum of $2,000,000,000 by 1975.
Division of the nation into re-
.gions and,,, establishment of field
offices was the first major organi-
zation' step in placing the program
into effect. These included:

Crash Near Azle: Five
Are Injured
Determination of a pretty 21-
year-old wife to stand by her hus-

fering, sent Mrs. Lillian Taylor
on a fatal ride Saturday night—
a ride that ended with a crash.

Her family
pleaded that she
remain in Fort
Worth until Mr.
Taylor became
permanently -set-
tled on the first
job he had land-
ed since they
were married
three years ago.
Mr. Taylor
himself, realizing
the hardships of life in a work
camp, begged her to wait.
For a week the young wife did |
stay at the home of her parents, |
Mr. and Mrs. Ed S. Greener of |
1500 Northwest 25th St.
"But she got lonesome and we
couldn't keep her any longer."
said Mrs. Greener. “Her husband
told her the going would be rough,
that she would have to ride in a
truck, get up at 3:30 a. m. and
probably live in one room. She
only smiled and packed her be-
longings. That’s the last time we
saw her alive.
On Trip to Get Heater
The Taylors were without a
stove at their lodging on the Pos-
sum Dam project, 16 miles north-
west of Mineral Wells. With fellow
camp residents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jackson Ford, 2505 North Houston
St., the young couple was coming
to Fort Worth for a heater when
the accident occurred.
Her death was the 59th auto
fatality of the year.
Explained Ford, the driver:
“We were passing a truck about
three miles from Azle. Just as we
were about to pass it, the truck
pulled out to go around a parked
car. We hit the truck and the
truck, hit the third car. Everybody
was thrown out."
Others injured in the crash were
Mr. and Mrs. Ford, their children,
Daisy Mae, 7, and Albert Charles,
6, all of whom suffered minor cuts
and bruises, and Mr. Taylor, who
received several broken ribs and
head cuts.
Tells Of Romance
From his bed in City - County
Hospital, Mr. Taylor told of the
romance that was nipped by his
wife's death.
‘'Lillian was barely 14 when we
met," he sobbed. "From that day
on there was no one else for either
of us. We went together for five
years, then we married. It seems
like,only yesterday. I don’t know
what I’m going to do."
The night before she died, Mrs.
Taylor had a dream She saw her
little sister, Grace, 10, crushed to
death beneath the wheels of a
car.
The scene of the fatal crash
was only a short distance from
where Mr. Ford's skull was frac-
tured in a crash 14 years ago.
Funeral services were conduct-
ed at 10 a. m. today at Turner
Memorial Baptist Church, Rev.
D. Wade Smith officiating. Burial
was in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

REBEL BOMBERS
SLAUGHTER 30
Loyalists Hold Off Enemy in
Fierce Fight; Many Shells
Are ‘Duds’
By United Press.- . .
MADRID, Nov. 9. — Spanish
nationalists subjected Madrid to a
terrible rain of airplane bombs and
artillery shells today, killing 30
and injuring 200 persons.
Some artillery shells fell near
the Argentine embassy. The Cate
Oriental in the heart of the city
was set afire by a bomb.
As the fierce fight for the capi-
tal continued, a new menace con-
fronted the government.
The long boasted “fifth column”,
rose in the heart of the city. This
column, supposed to attack- the
loyalists in the rear as the nation-
alist army • entered, is composed
of Fascist sympathizers who have
been under cover all during the
war.
During the intermittent air-
plane and artillery bombardments,
the men of the “fifth column"
took to windows and housetops in
various sectors and sniped at loy-
alists.
Food Shortage Felt
Food was perilously scarce. No-
body knew when, or whence, a na-
tionalist bomb or shell would drop.
However, many of the artillery
shells—most of them, in fact—
failed to explode.
The United Press learned au-
thoritatively that one reason for
this is sabotage within the na-
tionalist ranks. A bit of paper
found in the nose of one of these
shells said: “While I am an artil-
leryman, not a single shell fired by
me will explode." Other "dud"
shells were found to be filled with
sawdust despite their apparent
German origin.
The Manzanares River in the
western suburbs, although It is
only two feet deep, may provide a
formidable obstacle to rebel tanks,
artillery and infantry because of
its stone parapets. Bridges have
been mined and loyalists plan to
dynamite them If rebels ‘try to
use them.
Rebels Held Back
Loyalists have held back the na-
tionalists in a fierce last stand de-
fense and made them attack on
two new fronts in an effort to
penetrate Madrid,
Aided by torrential rains and
gale winds, the loyalists, women

boiling oil on any nationalists who
reached their defense line,

CAUSE OF WRECK IS NOT LEARNED
By United Press. F
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 -The
District of Columbia Court of
Appeals today upheld the right of
the National Labor Relations
Board to conduct employe elec-
tions to determine how they shall
be represented in collective bar-
gaining with employers.
The decision was rendered In
the case of Heller Brothers & Co.,
a hardware manufacturing con-
cern of Newcomerstown, O.
The rulings also applied to six
other concern* which had filed
similar appeals.
The suit* sought to enjoin the
board" from conducting hearings
for the purpose of determining
whether elections should be held.
No Opinion on Validity.
All of the plaintiffs in the cases
held that the National Labor Re-
lations Act was unconstitutional
and argued that they would be ir-
reparably damaged by the pro-
posed hearings and elections to be
conducted by the board. They
contended the elections would re-
sult in friction, discord, loss of
efficiency and destruction of mo-
rale among employes.

Hearst sought to enjoin the

seized from the Western Union
Telegraph Co. on the floor of
either the Senate or House. He
also asked the court to make the
Black committee return copies of

was powerless to act against the

have been illegal.
