Cradle to Grave
Program Outlined
By Federal Board
Bv Kuy Lalir
(United Pres Suff Correspondent)
. Washington, Jan. 22 UP) The
social security board offered its
program for "cradle-to-grave" so
cial security today in a report ex
pected to set the pattern for Presi
dent Roosevelt's forthcoming rec
ommendations to congress.
The board's proposals, contain
ed in its annual report, were
basically the same as those it
made a year ago to broaden the
ocverage of old age and survivors'
insurance, liberalize unemploy
ment benefits and establish pro
grams of medical and disability in
surance. The war-minded congress
, gave them little attention last
year.
The new recommendations were
expected to get greater considera
tion because both the republican
and democratic parties urged
broader social security coverage
in their 1944 platforms and Presi
dent Roosevelt made a similar re
quest in his annual message to
congress tvo weeks ago. Roose
velt promised a special message
with his recommendations would
be offered later.
Culled Essential
"The assurance of protection
which a strong and comprehen
sive program of social security
creates is essential to social sta
bility and economic progress," the
social security board said.
The board again urged that the
old age Insurance system be ex
tended to include more than 20,
000,000 additional workers those
in public, agricultural and domes
tic service, employes of firms with
fewer than eight workers and non
profit organizations and the self
employed who are now excluded.
A revised benefit formula to pro
vide more liberal payments also
was suggested.
Increased emphasis was placed
on recommendations for the un
employment compensation pro
gram administered under state
laws. The board asked that this
program also be broadened to in
clude farm, government and mari
time workers, employes of . small
firms and non-profit groups. It
proposed that the ceiling on week
ly benefits be raised to a stand
ard $25 for 26 weeks In a year and
that minimum standards be fixed
by the federal government.
Report Quoted
"No better mechanism than un
employment insurance exists for
enabling the workers affected to
weather.. the .(postwar) readjust
ment aritTThus for helping" to
speed reconversion for the na
lion," the report said.
The board objected to state laws
which reduced the tax on employ
ers with stable payrolls and re
duced or cancelled benefits to
workers who voluntarily quit
jobs. It said the competition for
tax rate reduction was threaten
ing to undermine the program.
Recommending a system of
disability insurance, the report
said that an average of 7,000.000
persons were sick or disabled on
an average working day.
Renewing its request for medi
cal insurance, the board said it
could be established without so
cializing medicine or regimenting
physicians. Despite the common
belief that the United States is the
world's healthiest nation, other
nations have lower death rates
and higher life expectancy rates,
the board added.
Nation Called Unique
"The United States is unique
among the major industrial coun
tries of the world in that it has no
systematic general provision for
offsetting loss of earnings when a
worker is sick or disabled or for
assuring that adequate medical
care is available to persons who
require it regardless of their abil
ity to pay for such care at the
time they need it," the board said.
The board gave no estimate of
the over-all cost of the proposed
program, but earlier estimates
have indicated a payroll tax of

New Way of Teaching French
Is Demonstrated to Educators
Madras, Jan. 22 A group of
educators and professional men
met this past wtek at the.Madras
union high school to' witness a
demonstration of the methods
used by Madame Dore with her
classes in French, and later an
nounced that the demonstrations
were amazing. On a leave of ab
sence from the faculty of the Uni
versity of Idaho, Madame Dore
selected Madras for her two-year
experiment, because she required
students with no previous instruc
tion in foreign languages. The re
cent demonstration was conducted
with a class of approximately 12
students, who have been under in
struction only since last Septem
ber. The first demonstration pre
sented featured sentence construc
tion, and commencing with a verb
selected at random by the audi
ence, the pupils proceeded with
out assistance to construct, first

gnii,ic, . aiiu uicu inuic .ujiipii-
cated sentences. . The method used
was a visual one, and might per
haps best be described as "build
ing sentences with bricks." From
on already extensive vocabulary
or an parts or speech printed on
cards, the pupils built and rear
ranged sentences on the black
board with startling facility. Then
followed a period of recitation in 1

which was noted a pronuncia
tion and a facility of articulation
which surprised everyone pres
ent. The pupils displayed an abil
ity and confidence with the lan
guage far beyond that of the av
erage university graduate, it was
reported. ,
The final period was a musical
one, when the class sang French
folk songs and choruses, including
a number composed and set to
music by themselves. The pro
gram concluded wittua tea served
by the class at the home of Mrs.
L. H. Irving.
Commenting on her teaching
methods, which are applicable to
all modern tongues, Madame Dore
stated that she believed that a
greater knowledge of foreign lan
guages in the America of the fu
ture, with a resulting deepened
understanding of the thinking of
other peoples, would be a tremen
dous asset towards an ordered and
peaceful world! ,
Among those who Witnesses the
demonstration were D. A. Emer

tration; Mrs. Lillian Watts, Jef

Explosion Occurs
"A few minutes after the ini
tial hit there was a violent maga
zine explosion in his Immediate
vicinity. , I consider it impossible
that he could have survived the
violence of that explosion. The
ship was abandoned soon after

Alvin been alive, one of the many
rescue vessels present would un
doubtedly have recovered him.
"To us of the Abner Read, your

Senators Favor
Increase in Pay
Salem, Ore., Jan. 22 IP The
senate today refused to discrimi
nate in favor of Multnomah coun
ty in the pay its elections offi
cials would receive, when it voted
to pass a bill raising the pay of
such officials for the entire state
from $3 to $5.
Sen. Lew Wallace, Portland,
had asked that Multnomah coun
ty officials be paid $8 daily. He
said that they performed twice
as much work as others.
Sen. Frank Hilton opposed Wal
lace, saying that he saw no rea
son why judges and clerks could
not give a little of their time to
handle ballots when "hundreds of
thousands of Americans are giv
ing their lives" to protect them.

Face Many Bills
By Erin W. Allen, Jr.

Salem, Ore., Jan. 22 Uin Ore
eon's legislators faced the meat of
the 1945 session from now on. as
they convened for their third!
wet-K luuuy, unu many oi inej
more controversial measures were
due for consideration soon.
Interest so far has centered on
measures which would call for
large additional sums for educa
tion in the state, prolong Indefin
itely the life of the present pro
visions on truck weight limits, and
reuuire the pasteurization of milk
and the insDection of dairy herds.
Machinery Started
The first two weeks of the ses
sion were devoted largely to get
ting the machinery of the legis
lature into working order, and
while at first few bills were en
tered, there is now no dearth of
material tor the legislators to
work on, with more than 200 bills
introduced up to this morning.
The committee system, the real
heart of the legislative session,
is in high gear, changing, re
jecting and scrutinizing proposed
measures.
One of the highlights of the
legislative week will be the hear
ings Wednesday and Thursday on
the "big truck" bill and the "free
way" or limited access bill. The
former, of concern both to truck
ing interests and to railroads,
would provide for a continuation
of high-limit wartime weight pro
visions. Coatof Cinders
Placed on Road
Cindering of the Lambert road,
which runs east of Terrebonne to
the Crook county line along
Crooked river, was finished last
week when a three-and-a-half-mile
stretch was cindered, George
McAllister, Deschutes county road
master, said today. One mile of
the old R e d m o n d-Terrebonne
highway was cindered as was a
half-mile of the Elliott road near
the O'Neil market road.
A bridge -was also built over
the Central Oregon canal just
north of Terrebonne, McAllister
said. The back-fill of the bridge
was put in today.
This week the entire road crew
will work on the Brosterhous,
commonly known as the Trap
Club road, he said, and will take
out a dangerous rock point This
work will probably take the rest
of the week. ,

Or every hundred regular Pullman sleeping cars,
fifty-six are now exclusively in military service. But
even the remaining forty-four, out of every hun

Much of the space in these cars is reserved for

Obviously what is left, aiter the requirements of
the armed services are taken care of, can't accom

you plan to go somewhere on the train.
The problem of Pullman reservations is especial

that if anybody ridicules the idea,
he can take It.
Nothing could be further from
my mind. I agree with the gentle
man from Detroit that the law
makers deserve medals for put
ting up with what they have to
put up with, and this dispatch, as
any congressman can plainly see,
is tne opening salvo in my own
campaign: medals for congress
men. I have read carefully house res
olution 396, as introduced by Rep.
Dingell, providing for appoint
ment of three senators and three
representatives to select and pro
cure a medal, with accompanying
ribbon of suitable design, plus a
rosette or knot to be worn when
the wearer is not in a medal-
wearing mood.
I have studied that section of
the bill having to do with the
president presenting the medals
and rosettes, or knots, one to
each member of his cabinet and
one to each member of the 78th
congress, including the delegates
from the territories ond the, re
sident commissioners from Puerto
Rico and the Philippine islands.
I have talked to Rep. Dingell and
I think I can be of help.
"Some of us," he said, "Believe

Is deeply sentimental. Several of
us think we have been trying fo

have been voting for everything

some of us even were hanged ln

for conscription and things like
that.

What we need, I think, Is some

as Rep. Dingell suggests, about

that's an excellent size. Makes a
