Paris, Jan. 18. tP) The al lied communique tonight re ported: "A quiet day on the whole. Usual activities of patrols." PLANS OUTLINED IN ROTARY TALK Edwin Bates of Regional Of fice in San Francisco Explains Age Insurance Amendments to the federal social security act. passed by the Congress last August, now provide a' worker with insur ance protection for his family and also a monthly income for himself in his old age, Edwin Bates of the San Francisco reg ional office of the social secur ity board said today in an ad dress before the Medford Ro tary Club's luncheon at the Medford Hotel. The widow and dependent chil dren of an Insured worker who dies will receive monthly benefits If there is a child In the family under age 18 or under 18 and attending school. Bates explnlned. "This provision In behalf of sur vivors means that a worker's social security account no longer repre sents only a payment he will receive some 20 to 30 years In the future when he reaches the retirement age of 65." the speaker added. "It Is also a protection he has today for his family If he Bhould die and leave dependents." These survivor benefits will be raid If the worker has been employ ed at Jobs covered by the social se curity act In at least six calendar quarters since January 1. 1937. and earned at least 50 in each quarter from such employment. Workers who have attained 66 may also claim a monthly payment at this time If they choose to retire and have had the required six cal endar quarters of employment de scribed above. Wesley Hayes, manager of the Klamath Falls office of the Social Security Board, who accompanied Bates, pointed out that a worker who Is now 85 and has not had the required six quarters of employment may meet the requirement by work ing after that age. The employment of a worker la now covered regardless of age, Hayes said, this also being a new provision of the law which removed the "stop date" at 66 which had been a part of the original act. Many workers who reached 65 af ter January 1, 1837, when the law became effective, have received lump sum settlements. The social security board can now re-open the accounts of these workers and pay them a monthly benefit if they meet the re quirements. Hayes explained. The lump sum settlement will, however, be deducted from the monthly benefits to which the worker may be entitled.
