THIRTEEN
Democratic Lady Has Goose Pimples
But Her Oratory Wins Ovation
By HAL BOYLE
PHILADELPHIA. July 14.-t-The lady In green had gootc
plmp.es and a heart lull of words.
She alto wore a. pink petticoat, a big diamond ring bright i a
firefly, and a solemn coco -colored makeup that crinkled as sh
talked.
But the thing that made Con
gresswoman Helen G a h a g a n
Douglas the toast of the Demo
cratic convention last night was
her mixture of mature beauty
and her political earnestness.
She ws the Democratic answer
to the glamour challenge raised
by the Republicans three weeks
ago when they featured Clare
Boothe Luce as a convention
speaker.
And Mrs. Douglas was ready to
take up that challenge!

But last night la Belle Douglas

Mrs. Luce, a slender, blonde,
white-skinned beauty, into a pale,
gesturing ghost on the television
screen during her speech before
the Republican convention.
Mrs. Douglas, chestnut-haired
"wife of movie actor Melvyn
Douglas, learned a makeup lesson
from her rival. When she stepped
to the speaker's table, she may
have looked to the delegates
slightly like Pocahontas getting
ready to put in a good word for
John Smith. But on television she
was pretty as Ingrid Bergman
seen from the tenth row In the
orchestra.

For all her public speaking ex

kelly green dress was nervous.
She stood high on her toes and
her pink petticoat slipped into

trembled.
"She shakes and she shouts",
said one critical bystander.
The goose pimples or duck
pimples came out on her firm,
rounded arm. I counted up to 125,
and then they began to disappear,
like little bubbles on a lake of
pearl.
The lady had herself In hand.
Down the verbal road of New

form of totalitarianism, and help

Democratic society of nations.
Democracy must offer man not
only political freedom but
economic security jobs, homes

It was the speech of a strong

with the finesse of a woman re

Earners Shouldn't
Change Number Of
Social Security
Recent studies hv the Social
Security Administration show
that a considerable number of
wage earners are using a social
security account number differ
ent from the one originally Issued
to them. Paul F. Johnson, man
ager of the Eugene office advise.
mis is particularly true ot in
dividuals who change their jobs i
often. Many persons when going i
to work for an employer give
tneir social security numner from
memory or from some personal
record. According to Johnson,
such practices often result In an
Incorrect social security account
number being reported to the
Administration. Employers
should Insist upon seeing a new
employee's social security card
at tne time he is nireij. It be
does not have a card, he should
be requested to obtain one immediately.
Women wage earners who have
changed their names because of
marriage should ask the Social
Security Administration to
change their social security cards
to show their new names. Failure
to do so has resulted In employ
ers repoVting wages for women
under a marriage name which
is not shown in Administration
records. This causes considerable
difficulty in crediting wages to
an individual's old-age and sur
vivors Insurance account.
Johnson set forth this rule
for employers to follow: "Report
wages only under the name and
numner shown on a person a soc
ial security card. Insist upon see
ing the social security card."
Wage earners desiring to check
the accuracy of their old-age and
