Increased Social ; Security Funds Distributed Here Last week brought increased so cial security checks to aged people in Douglas County and to depend ent children of retired workers and young survivors of workers who have died, according to Claude E. Dawson, manager of the Eu gene social security office. Increases of from $5 to $8.60 each month will go 10 mosi re tired workers who receive old-age insurance payments. Dependents of these retired workers and sur vivors of workers who have died will also receive increased bene fits in most cases. - Increases in payments to dependents and sur vivors, however, will be smaller than the increases for retired work ers usually from $2 to $5. ' Dawson pointed out that al though several members of a fam ily may receive monthlv payments based on the social security ac count of a retired or deceased worker, the law sets limits on the total amount of monthly payments to the family. Family payments are limited to 80 per cent of the worker's average monthly wage or to $168.75, whichever is less. (Because each benefit is paid in Af in -funic aptual uav- ments are a few cents more than these figures in some cases. i A few families receiving bene u. nmn,intoH in 8n oer cent 1115 III. am"- ' - of the worker's average monthly wage before the law was changed will receive no increases.

Seavant Starts Across Atlantic On Tiny Raft ' LAS P ALMAS, Canary Islands ( A French scientist has set out on a 5,000-mile Atlantic crossing aboard a tiny raft in an attempt to prove that men can survive on the fish and plant life they can take from the sea. The 27-year-old physician, D. Alain Bombard, started drifting Sunday from the Canary Islands toward the West Indies. During the voyage, which he expects to take about 50 days, he said he would live on raw fish and plankton, a small sea organism. He planned to distill his own fresh water from the sea. ' ' Bombard carried emergency pro visions which were sealed by a notary just before his departure. He did not take along a radio. He drifted to the Canary Islands from Casablanca, Morocco, 600 miles to the northeast. WHY BE SICK? You've not tried everything until you iee . DR.

Dial 3-5133 Coffee Machine Takes Place Of Brewing Artists By RICHARD O'REGAN VIENNA UT A gleaming, chromium-plated coffee-making machine has caused a minor revolution in the sleepy coffee-houses of Vienna. The gadget is the Italian "ex- presso" machine old to Italy, but a postwar "shocker" for Vienna's conservative coffee-house proprie tors. It forces steam through minutely-ground coffee and produces a strong, syrupUiick brew served demi-tasse. Vienna's 1,245 coffee-houses were among the most famous in Eu rtfpe. For years, they lived on the reputation of the quiet pace of their parlors and on their multiple ways of serving coffee. Coffee making was looked upon as an art, to be passed from father to son. ine war renucea many ot me middle class to the ranks of the poor. The tradition and skill of the coffee-makers failed to attract customers. About two years ago, a coffee house owner rebuilding his store imported an expresso machine.

It was a violation of all tradi tions. But the coffee was quick and tasty and the expresso bar was jammed. , The expresso machine has now taken the city by storm.

'- -' Rulings Anent T-H Act Slated In High Court WASHINGTON W The Su preme Court Monday agreed to rule whether unions violate the Taft-Hartley labor law by causing members to lose jobs for breaking union rules. The issue wai raised In two ap peals. In one WiUiard Christian Fowler charged the AFL Radio Officers' Union caused the Bull Steamship Company discriminator ilr to refuse him employment. In the other, James Frank Bos ton, i truck driver, charged the AFL International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local No. 41, caused the Byeri Transportation Company to deprive him of , work assign ments. The Taft-Hartley act makes it an unfair labor practice for a un ion to try to cause an employer to discriminate against a worker, in violation of a sub-section of the act. The sub-section makes it an un fair labor practice for an employer bv discrimination in regara w hire or anv term or condition of employment to encourage or uia courage membership in any labor organization, Ruling Hits Union In the first case Involving the T.ft.Hartw net. Fowler said he was accused of violating union rules by not getting "clearance" irom a union otliciai Deiore msniug i rangements to take a job on a Bull Company vessel, the S. S. Frances, in New York. The company, unable to get a union O.K. on Fowler, gave the job to another man provided by the union. The National Labor Relations Board, and later the U. S. Circuit Court in New York, decided the union violated the Taft-Hartley sec tion. The union appealed to the Su preme Court to overturn the deci sions. I tcontended they were bas ed on an assumption that discrima tory conduct constituted "in herent" encouragement of union membership. In the truck driver's case, Bos ton failed to pay his union dues for June,- 1950 until July s, iao. men he paid up for June and July. About July IS his union compiled a new job seniority list, reducing his standing from 18th to sttn, the bottom spot. Tlw union submitted the list to The Byers Company. As a result Boston said he was deprived of job assignments which he would otherwise have obtained. The NLRB found this seniority reduction c6nstituted discrimina tion against Boston and said it must have "encouraged" union members to pay dues promptly, thui maintaining their member ship in good standing. The board said the union violat ed the Taft-Hartley section, but its ruling was set aside by the U.S. Circuit Court in St. Louis. The board then appealed to the Su preme Court. t Tuet., Oct. 21, 1952 The News-Review, ReeeWf, Or. a Stevenson Endorsed By Teamsters Union LOS ANGELES W The AFL International Brotherhood of Team sters, in convention here, adopted a resolution endorsing Gov.

Wl The Ohio State Medical Journal in its cur rent issue reports there probably are areas in Ohio where the big gest news barriers are doctors and ho'spitals. It makes this editorial observa tion after commenting on an As sociated Press survey in Oregon which revealed physicians ' and medical institutions wero the hie. gest news, barriers In that state, worse than the police, political of fices and the armed services. - "Obviously, such a situation ! not good for the medical profes sions, uie news cnanneis or the public," the Journal said. "It needs correcting." The Journal said it can be cor rected to a large degree by con ferences between the medical and news professions.
