Cannon, man ager of the Eugene office of the Federal Security agency, to use cine lri maintaining accurate so cfal security accounts. More than 706,526 men and women In Oregon now have so cial securily account cards, Can non stated. ;MIn years to come, he said, "many of these workers will reach the ago of 65 years, rctirq from their Jobs and claim pay ments of old-age insurance. Oth ers will die, leaving dependents who are entitled to benefits un der the social security act. Every nrorhor wants to be sure that he Ivill get the right Insurance checks when he grows old, or that his family will receive checks In the right amounts, if he dies. ; "Keeping records straight now might very well mean the differ ence between the right and wrong payment of benefits later oh," he said. Acouracy Essential He explained that ail Individu al account is kept for each work er whose name appears on the books of the Social Security board. The worker's name and number that is assigned to him by the board are printed at the top of his ledger sheet and also written on record cards that arc kept on file. Cannon. stressed the fact that wage data must be accurate, be cause the amount of benefits to be paid to each qualified claimant Is based on a wage record. That Is why the Social Security board takes extra precautions to safe guard the social securily account of every wage earner listed on its books. It Is also the reason why every employer subject to Un law must Include in ids social se curity quarterly tax report to the government the name, the social security account number, and the wage earnings of each worker he employs. But before the em ployer can Include this data In his report, he must have the in formation himself. Therefore, the employee must make sure that his employer has the necessary information.

Stantot AFJJW weeks ago we" ventured the assertion that the presi dent in his fourth term campaign would make political use of his title of commander-in-chief. We can expect the democratic national convention, opening in Chicago tomor row, to plug the title to the utmost. The president set the pace in his letter to the democratic, national chairman, Robert 13. Hannegan, when he announced he would accept the fourth term. In that letter he used the words "commander-in-chief" three times, "superior officer" twice, "soldier" twice, and "chief executive" just once. The president has donned his uniform, gold braid and all; has mounted his trusty charger the horse that can't be changed in the middle of the stream and is off to the political wars. Campaigning in uniform is an old device, used by the veteran." of many wars, but it's a new stunt for a veteran whose only fights have been political battles and whose campaigns have been conducted from sewers to fire sides. Most Americans, we believe, have a more or less senti mental reverence for that title commander-in-chief. It is somewhat like our flag. The flag may be of cheap cotton material or of the finest silk, but the arrangement of its colors, its stars on a blue field and its alternate red and white stripes, make it beloved and respected regardless of its materials. Actually it is just a piece of cloth. But to every American it is the symbol of freedom, and the em blem of a nation founded upon the highest ideals propounded y any government. We would be shocked to the don his altar vestments and then go out and roll in the mud. Is it any less desecration for in the highest title the people can confer upon him and cx jjose his robe to the mud of a political campaign? We honor the title commander-in-chief, but not neces sarily the mail who holds ij;. not a piece o( material. t should not be used as a political football any more than our flag should bo used to cover a mudhole. Yet tjiere is every evidence paign as commander-in-chief rather than as chief executive. lpa own letter exposes his hand. " His nomination at the party sured. Everyone hits known ment if he desired it. Yet stage a wild demonstration to to which it was sworn months ago and which carries noi ejement of surprise. But such demonstration is necessary, j The new dealers have been loudly chanting that the repub lican convention lacked enthusiasm, because Dewey's nomi-j nation was cheered for only tion, too, was a foregone conclusion, yet, because the dele- j gates did npt become hysterical and frenzied, their decision; has been denounced as insincere. Is sincerity to be judged! upon the quality of the sideshow? The democratic demon stration must necessarily be loud and prolonged, but, lack ing spontaneity, it becomes a fraud a stage trapping de signed to deceive. Is that sincerity? Our political integrity has reached an exceedingly low mark when we must drag through the mud our most sacred national vestments and resort to sham and deception to at tract the votes necessary to maintenance of individual prestige. OPA Agents Use Cash as Bait to Trap Racketeers 13y JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON Aimed with a brand-new "weapon." not at all secret, the OI'A is ready In crack down hard on ration coupon counterfeiters. The new weapon is money $50,000 just appropriated by Yon Kress - and Thomas I. Emerson, OI'A's enforcement chief, says II can smash the widespread conn lerfeiling racket. The $50,000 is lo he used to purchase evidence, or, to put il the way OPA prefers, "lo pur. chase commodities for use as evidence-." In laying a trap tor counter fcilers uf gasoline coupons, for example, an OI'A agent or a "planted" confederate can buy up a batch of illicit stamps, spring a quick arrest of the salesman, and then use the coupons as evidence in a court action. The money paid, marked to identify it, also be comes evidence. In the same way. the trap can he sprung on peddlers ol stolen bona fide coupons. Scheme Works Until now. OPA has hail no funds lor use in this way and Emerson says that lack of I hem uas ol'A's No. 1 handicap in al temptlng to snare counterfeiters. In one case on the west coast, OI'A agents made up a pool of $."'00 from their own pockets to lure the racketeers. It winked, and a sizable ring was uncover id The ageuls got their money hack, hut had to wail until the end of Ihc court trial That incident and similar ones demonstrate, Emerson says, that Soll.iKH) can make it mighty un pleasant for coupon racketeers. "I am confident we can lick the counterfeiting racket, now that We have this appropriation," he asserts. Money Conies Back The lcauty of the scheme is that most of the money will come back to the government follow its use in court.

For tonight there's Screen Test 8:15; Music You Remember at 6:30, with Esther Gcddcs at the organ; True Detective Mysteries at 1:30, Eye Witness News at 8, and Freedom of Opportunity at 8:30. The last show sounds es pecially interesting to us tonight it's the story of Dr. Joseph B. Dolce, who has done such won derful work in Chicago and who founded the Chicago lying-in hos pital and the Chicago Maternity center. If you read Paul De- Kruif, you've probably read a good deal about tills doctor's pio neering. As far as we're concern ed, when they're handing out awards, we'd like to see more recognition of work of this type, even if they have to pass up a few movie actors. The program's sponsors will give the Maternity center a cash donation in recog nition of Dr. Delec's work, so we're going to listen in tonight lor sure, and this snow is a type that ordinarily we don't care a lot about. ' Tomorrow we're off again the democrats hold forth in Chi cago, which means that we'll miss Jack Bercli since the convention goes on the air at 10:15 in the morning and again at 7 in the evening; so Hie Lone Ranger, too, has to bow out for Wednesday evening. If you're very politically minded you'll have a field day on Wednesday and Thursday, but if you aren't -well, it's just an other day. KRNR ID Mutual Broadcasting 8ystem, H 1490 Kilocycle.

City IS Journey 20 Fondle 22 Golf device 24 Rhode Island 1944. By J. R. Williams iilie Pep Scores Win Over Ortiz BOSTON, July 18 (API Four years ago, as an unknown, Willie Pep, the Hartford, Conn., boxing master, received S1.00 a round for sparring with Manuel Orli.z but today the former, who went on to win all but one of 76 bouts, figured he earned almost $1000 for every three minutes spent In actual combat against that undisputed bantamweight champion. Last night the Hartford Italian made his onetime employer look like a tyro. He dominated seven of the 10 rounds against Ortiz. But Pep was seldom within range when Ortiz, who hails from El Centra, California,, cut loose with his lusty body hooks. The only times the Mexican impressed were in the sixth and eighth rounds, when Pep had to bicycle out of danger. Pep really cut loose during the last two rounds and gave Ortiz an impressive box ing lesson.

ST 3 53 Olympia Supply, Caribous Capture Softball Games Snfihall fans saw two good games last night as Olympia Sup ply defeated Young's say, a iu 3, and the Sutherlln Caribous broke a tie score in the last in ning, to win 9 to 3. Scoring three runs in tne uii inning of the openeing game, Young's Bay held Olympia Sup ply scoreless until the fourth, when the Supplymen tied the score with a three-run burst. Two more runs crossed the plate in the fifth inning to put the game on ice for the Supply company team, which was given a trans- uslon of new blood after the Roseburg Alley team was dis banded, enough of the keglers be ing absorbed to give a stronger lineup. Young, pitching for Young's Bay, allowed five hits, while Peterson, on the mound lor Olympia Supply allowed only three hits, all in the first inning. The Sutherln-Roseburg Lumber game was a line battle until the last inning. Sutherlln pushed over two runs in the first of the third only to have the Lumber men tie the count in the last half of the inning. The Caribous went out in front in the first of the fourth by squeezing a lone run across the plate, but in the last of the frame the Lumbermen again tied the score at 3-all. Neither team was able to score in the fifth and sixth, but in the first of the seventh the Lumbermen's de fense was shattered and lour er rors, coupled with two hits and a walk accounted lor six runs and the ball game. Vang, pitching for Sutherlln, allowed only two hits. Games Wednesday night will feature Olympia Supply versus Roseburg Lumber and Sutherlin versus Dunham Transfer.
