Maginnls. manager of the Klamath Falls office of the Social Security Board, today explained the effect of the board s announcement that upon request it will recalculate the amount of old-age and survivors insurance benefits available to once-retired workers to include credit for wages received since the benefits were first claimed. "This action," Maginnis said, Is intended to take into ac count the fact that many work ers past the age of 69, who have retired, and drawn benefits, have gone back to war since the country started its preparation for war. Originally, these work ers by filing a claim set their benefits so that they could not be moved up or down. But they returned to work unexpectedly. and generally have received higher wages than before. The board has therefore announced that, in order to meet the intent of the law, their benefits may be recomputed in order to credit towards monthly retirement benefits the wages they received after they bad once' filed a claim." 800 Benefit Approximately 800 workers In the area who are past age 69 and have received some benefits under social security have had their payments suspended and probably will benefit from the board's decision, Maginnls said. To prevent confusion or mis understanding, Maginnis issued the following conditions:: : (1) Increased benefits will be available only to workers 89 or older who have claimed bene fits and who subsequently have worked in lobs covered by the Social Security Act, and, gener ally at higher pay than their former average monthly waee. The benefit amounts of widows. orphans or aged parents whose benefits were It zed on wages up to the time of an insured worker's death cannot be changed. (2) Benefits will be recalcu lated, upon request of benefi ciary. (3) The announcement does not mean that any person may receive benefits while working In jobs covered by the law.. The law provides that benefits must be suspended for any month in which -. the beneficiary makes Now Th. news of the successful invasion of the Phil ippines stirred the nation. For it was an amazing achievement landing great numbers of troops and enormous quantities of supplies thousands of miles across the Pacific. It was a thrilling triumph for our Army, Navy and Merchant Marine. ' We railroaders got a special thrill from the news too, not only because we are Americans but also because we know now that months ago the Philippine invasion started on the railroads. And many a railroader who, in recent months, has worked double shifts to keep the war freight roll ing to Pacific Ports, knows that he, too, had a part in putting those men ashore on Leyte Island. This mighty blow at Japan placed an especially large burden on the Western railroads. Serving less populated territory, the Western lines nor mally do not have tha density of trafflo of th eastern trunk lines, and their trackage was de signed accordingly. Yet the western roads, in spite of a manpower shortage, have handled their enormous war burden efficiently and on schedule. Theirs has been a real achievement too more than $14.99 on covered Job. (4) There is no need for any body who has been working in covered employment - after he filed a claim to ask for a recom putatlon of his benefits as long as his pay stays as high as his average monthly wage between January 1, 1937, and the date he filed his claim. On the other hand, If his pay starts going down as a result of illness, re duced hours, loss of his job or for any other reason the work er who la 63 or older should consult the nearest office of the Social Security Board at once. The Klamath Falls office of the Social Security Board is lo cated at 208 N. Seventh Street Ruling Beneficial In time. Maginnls oolnted out. the new ruling will prove bene- nciai to many workers who at tain age 69, and face the possl- j Duuy tnat reduced pay. ' no matter what the cause, may re sult in reduced benefits. In the past, he said, some of the work ers have chosen to "freeze" their benefit amount by filing a claim even though they in tended to keen on worlclnff. That protected them against any ! arop in tne Denetit, Dut It also prevented any Increase. The net effect Is that a worker, upon reaching' age 63, may "peg" his benefit so that lt WlU not be reduced but can be Increased on the basis of his future work rec ord. : Oa Mall TMbuna Want Ada. fate Go without and bo to help speed we know the part we played in the Philippine invasion I rA y f- u XOaODS rwm NT f U IMS!

Try to boy at least one extra $100 Bond while this 6th War Loan Drive is on. THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION - Since Southern Pacific is the largest Western railroad and serves the major ports of embarka tion on the West Coast, a very large portion of the troops and war material destined for the Philippines moved over our rails. From now on, more and more of America's might will roll West over the railroads for the final showdown with Japan, Southern Pacific's 100,000 railroaders know well how important it is to keep these war trains rolling. But they need help. They need the help of thousands of men ( and women for this job. There's a job waiting for you inthesupplyline that backs up our men in the Pacific.
