Billions Distributed
By Social Security
WASHINGTON. Aut. 1J (PI
The government'! social security
program, now five years old, has
distributed $3,000,000,000 to the
nation's aged and unemployed
workers, and to widows, orphans
and the blind.
In advance of iU anniversary,
the social security board drew up
a statistical picture of its vast
operations to show that some
50,000,000 workers had been en
rolled in the program since presi'
dent Roosevelt signed the act in
1935.
At the top of the program is the
old age and survivors insurance
system which pays out monthly
benefits to workers who retire at
65, and to their wives, widows
and orphans. Up to June 30, this
system had paid $38,000,000 to
102,941 persons.
Unemployment compensation,
which gives Insured workers a
moderate weekly sum during
limited number of weeks of Job
lessness, is reported to have dis
tributed more than $1,000,000,000
in out-of-work benefits.
The public assistance phases of
the program, distinct from the oia
age and jobless insurance systems,
are operated through Joint federal-
state machinery to provide, on a
basis of need, financial care for
the aged unable to qualify for
insurance benefits, for the needy
blind, and for dependent children.
The public assistance operation,
officials reported, aids some
3,000,000 persons every month,
among them 1.983,900 aged, 807,-
900 children and 48,000 blind. The
expenditure for this part of the
system has totaled about $1,900,-000,000.

Anglos Believe Answer .
To Dive Bomber Is Found
By ROBERT E. BUNNELLE
ON ENGLAND'S SOUTHEAST
COAST, Aug. 13 P The men
who man the ships which guard
and feed Britain believe the
British have found or are find
ing an answer to the dive-bomber.
These men see the British reply
to the German Stukas as twofold:
The barrage ballons being tried
out by the shipping convoys to
keep the bombers high enough to
prevent accurate aim;
A new, multi-barrelled anti
aircraft gun which nails the
bombers if they come In low.
This new gun is a pom-pom
which fires shells an Inch or more
in caliber, constructed so deli
cately they explode at the slight
est contact. British who have seen
the guns in action praise them
highly.
. The ban-ago bullous, among the
targets of heavy Nazi aerial
attacks, are said to be a big help
in warding off the bombers but
do have their drawbacks.
They are vulnerable to the cannon-fire
of the German Messes
schmitts, are a drag on the ships
which tow them and thus slow
down the convoys, require a cer
tain amount of "babying" and ex
pert handling, and are hard to
manuever in the stiff winds which
frequently whip over the English
channel and the North sea.
The height at which they aro
flown depends on the wind cur.

until the sky was thick with planes

into the street to gather shell
