exit from a tube, this torpedo is being tested at a royal naval tor
pedo factory “somewhere in England.” Torpedoes undergo rigid
tests before they’re issued to the navy as OK.

Sixtv-Five Year Old Workers
iMuy Soon Be Eligible For
Old-Age Insurance
__
I
Notices are going out today to
nun and women in Alaska in
forming them that they may be
entitled to monthly old-age in
surance checks for the rest of
their lives. Hugh J Wade, Direct
>r of the Social Security Board
Territorial office at Juneau an
mneed today.
Mr. Wade explained that the
neipients of this notice will be
those to whom lump-sum bene
s have been paid since the
K deral old-age insurance system
■ us established January 1, 1937.
T ie amended act he said moves
LI ■ date for monthly benefits up
two years to 1940 and makes it
,i ssible for a wage earner to qual
ify after he is 65 years old. even
he has already received a
gle cash settlement. Under the
original law a qualified worker
■ i ild obtain only a lump-sum
•) vment equal to 3Vis percent of
;i:s total wages.
This means that the age bar-1
er to obtaining federal retire
ment insurance has been torn1
;wn. Even the man who was al
ready 65 when the old age in- !
surance system was set up and |
who therefore has never been
under the federal program may
now qualify for monthly bene
fits. To qualify for retirement
isurance in 1940 it will be neces
sary for him to show that he
has worked in six calendar quar
ters and received in each at least
$50 m wages and has retired.
Illustrating some types of bene
fits under the amended Social
Security Act to be paid to elig
ible persons after next January
1, Mr. Wade explained the month
ly benefits available in three sel
ected examples.
These examples are based on
the employment of three work
ers who for these illustrations
will be known as Smith, Brown
and Jones. All three, it is as
sumed have worked through!
1937, 1938 and 1939 at jobs cov-,
ered by the Social Security Act i
and each has averaged $150 per
month in wages. The exampesl
follow:
1. On next January 2. Mr. ]
Smith becomes 65 years of age.
He chooses to retire from em
ployment. He has no dependant
wife and no children under 18
years of age. His benefit will
| amount to $30.90 per month,
, starting with January and contin
jiiing to the time of his death.
2. On next January 2, Mr.
Brown becomes 65 years of age
.and chooses to retire. He has a
dependent wife who is also 65
years of age. Brown will receive
: $30.90 per month and there will
be an additional benefit of $15.45 i
.per month (one half of $30.90)
for Mrs. Brown. Both payments j
will start with January and each
will continue to the time of the(
recipient’s death. If Mr. Brown
should die previous to his wife, j
then Mrs. Brown’s monthly pay'
ment will become three-fourths I
of her husband’s benefit or
$23.18. She would then receive!
this amount until the time of her J
death.
3. On next January 2, Mr. J
Jones dies leaving a widow and |
two dependent children who arej
8 and 11 years of age. In this case
the widow will receive $23.18
per month and each dependent i
child a monthly benefit of $ 15.45
a total for this family of $54.08.
The payment to the widow will
continue until she remarries or!
until the youngest child reaches
the age of 16, or until the age'
of 18 if the child is attending!
school. A child’s benefit would |
also be terminated by its mar
riage and the widow’s benefit
would cease if she did not have
‘lie children in her care.
Commenting upon the above
examples, Mr. Wade pointed out
that if the earnings in any of
the above examples had been
higher than S150 per month, the
benefits would also have been
higher. Benefits would I f v.. a
have been less with a lower av
erage monthly wage.
If a worker dies before next
January 1, a lump sum settle
ment will be paid to the deceas
ed's widow, children or near rel
atives. Monthly payments to sur
viving relatives will not lie pa d
unless the worker dies after
December 31, 103!).
