To Broaden Security Law Washington, Nov. 29 '.Pi Pro posal for a broadened social se curity program being sub mitted to the White House today reportedly would bring sol diers, sailors, fliers and marines under the civilian old age pen sion system. Federal Security Administra tor Oscar Ewing had the pro posals drafted. They might cost SI. 000. 000,000 If approved by Congress Among other things, Ewing asks a sharp boost in the amount of pensions and survivors' ben efits paid under the system. Mr. Truman is known to sup port at least SO per cent in crease. Ewing was reported by an FSA spokesman to belive that even a greater Increase In the pension benefits might get White House endorsement. The present $39.90 pension for an old couple, Ewing was quoted as saying, amounts to 'slow starvation. Upwards of 20.000.000 new earners would be brought un der social security protection, the spokesman said, in addition to the 3.1,000,000 now covered, if the FSA proposals are adopt ed. Farm workers', domestic help, the self-employed, employes of the federal, state and local gov ernments, and workers in hos pitals and other Institutions not now protected would be embraced. The proposals to Include the 1.400.000 or more members of the armed services was urged in Ewing'f annual report to the Unionvale Mr. and Mrs. Ed win Rutschman attended a fam ily Thanksgiving dinner held at PALMISTRY READINGS FtrM Time In Tow CHyI Will TfU Vow Put.

(AP Wirephoto) Cherryland Festival Plans The Cherryland Festival of 1949 may be professionally man' aged. This will be discussed at a pub lic meeting of the festival asso ciation at the Chamber of Com merce Tuesday night, starting at 8 o clock. Another phase of the discus sion will center on the question whether the festival should be continued as an annual event, or dropped, and the sentiment of the business men of the city will be sounded. Meeting with the association will be Wayne Lemmon, repre senting Geller Productions of California, who will present a suggested budget and plan for the 1949 festival. This concern manages affairs of this kind. It supervises the show, furnishes costumes, script and stage set ting, but would use local talent. The Salem festival has not here tofore been managed profession ally. There Is a tendency here to ward charging admission for each show, instead of using but tons for general admission, and this also will be discussed Tues day night, Emory P. Sanders, business manager of the 1948 show, an nounced the meeting, and said that as an entertainment feature motion pictures of the 1948 show and parade would be shown by Robert McEwan.

I Asserts China Can't Survive "Can China survive?" ' No," said George Moorad, ra dio commentators as he painted an unlovely picture of conditions la thev evict in the Orient and particularly in Manchuria during a talk before the Chamber of Commerce Monday noon. To give emphasis to his one word answer to his own question Moo rad shook his head in a negative manner. China is going down after Its lone and long battle against com munism, said the speaker as he propounded the question: "Can one spend three years sawing at a man's veins with a rusty in strument and then expect to cure him with a blood transfusion?" Moorad warned that the ab sorption of China by the commu nists means that eventually French Indo-China, Malay, the Philippines and other sections of j the Orient, embracing helf the population of the world will be "sucked into the red vortex." Moorad sharply criticized the vaccilation of this country in its dealings with the Russians and at one time in his talk suggested that as far as results are con cerned we might have been off had we not fought the war against Japan.
