Postmaster Talks
To Office Managers
Postmaster Moore Hamilton
spoke on classifications of mail
and service offered under each
classification at the regular
'monthly meeting of the Nation
al Office Managers association
in the Medford hotel Monday.
John Patton, manager of the
local state employment service,
introduced Gordon DeCoss who
is to make a survey in Jackson
county of all male and female
employees as to their work
classifications. The survey is be
ing made under the supervision
of the state agency.
The business machine show
will be held Sept. 26, 27, and
28 at the Walker building, hours
11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, it was
announced by Monte Stram of
Davis Transfer and Storage
company.
Vern Bacon, a new member,
was introduced to the group by
Frank Martin of Ross Lumber
company. Bacon is an employee
of the Medford Credit Bureau.
The meeting was presided over
by President Alvin M. Miller.
"There was a big crop of beau
tiful rye," Ellender said. "About
350,000 university students were
there helping to save it it was
so big. They came from Moscow
and other cities in the East, and
lived in tents and worked in the
open fields. It reminded me of
my own college days when I
worked on farms during the
summer."
Asked whether he had flown
in any new Russian jets, Ellen
der said, "no."
"I saw only four jets in all the
time I was there,"' he said. "All
my flights were in Russian DC3s.
When I flew to Alma Ata only
two of the eight airports I landed
at had cement strips. The rest
were just fields."
Ellender said he found the Rus
sian people very friendly and
very curious.
"They are hungry for news," he
said. "I am going to tell (Theo
dore) Streibert (head of USIS) to
tear up his plans for USIS offices
in London and Paris. We don't
need them there. We could do
more good giving news to the
Russians."
Social Security
Coverage Explained
(Editor's Note: The follow
ing is one of a series of ar
ticles prepared by the Social
Security Administration des
cribing the important changes'
in the Social Security law
enacted by Congress this year.
According to the local Social
Security office, they will af
fect more than 600 women in
Jackson and Joiephine coun
ties, some 200" or 300 disabled
persons, and an unknown but
considerable number of law
yers, dentists and other pro
fessional people as well as
farmers.)
To become insured under so
cial security a person must have
been in work covered by the
law for a specified length of
time. The amount of work re
quired is measured in "quarters
of coverage" which, in a general
way, corresponds with a calen
dar quarter of work.
Coverage Varies
A self-employed person gets
four quarters of coverage for a
year in which he has $400 or
more in net earnings from self
employment. The usual require
ments for becoming insured are

one quarter of coverage out of
every two calendar quarters
elapsing after 1950, provided
there are at least six quarters of
coverage. Under the amended
law, a person who works con
tinuously after 1953 can become
insured with fewer quarters of
coverage.
This change in the law permits
seu-emploj-ed professionals and
others brought under social se
curity, as' of the beginning of
tnis year, to disregard their
years of non-coverage in acquir
ing an insured status under so
cial security.
ror example, ut. Jones, a
self-employed dentist, is now
age 63. He had never been in
work covered by social security
before January 1, 1956. Dr. Jones
will reach 65 in 1958 two years
after his self-employment first be
came covered under the amend
ed law. . . .
If his birthday is before April
1, he will need to have a quarter
of coverage in each of the eight
quarters elapsing after 1955 and
up to the quarter in which he
reaches 65. If all these quarters
are quarters of coverage, he will
be insured for old-age benefits
if he elects to retire at that time
Birthday Factor
If Dr. Jones' birthday occurs
in the second calendar quarter
oi tne year, he will need nine
quarters of coverage before
then: if he reaches 65 in the third
quarter of 1958, he will need 10
quarters of coverage before that
time. If his birthday is after the
end of September, 11 quarters
of coverage up to that time will
be required.
For death benefit purposes.
Dr. Jones would be insured as
early as. April 1957 if all six of
the quarters elapsing after 1955
and through the second quarter
of 1957 are quarters of coverage.
tie would not then be insured
for retirement benefits, as he
would not yet be 65, but if he
should die at that time, surviv
ors payments could be made , to
certain of his dependents, as he
would have met the minimum,
requirement of six quarters of
coverage.
Average. Earnings
Ordinarily, benefit amounts
are based on a person's average
earnings in employment or self
employment covered by the law
after 1950. If all the time elaps
ing after 1950 were used in fig
uring this average, self-employed
professionals newly brought
under social security would have
five years in which these earn
ings were not covered and would
count against them. The amend
ed law permits the dropping of
these five years.
A self-employed dentist, law
yer, or any other person whose
work was first covered by so
cial security this year, will not
have his average earnings re-
! duced when he qualifies for ben
! efits because his wo'k was riot
covered in the year & through
1955.
Adlai Urged To Take Campaign
'Down Every Farming Side Road'
Sioux City, Iowa lU.PJ Adlai
Stevenson was urged yesterday
to take his "grass roots" cam
paign "down every side road and
get the truth direct to the farm
ers" in his attack on Republican
farm policy.
The Democratic presidential
nominee received the advice at
a seven-state meeting during
which farm and Democratic
Party leaders gave him a hand
ful of brickbats to hurl at the
GOP farm program.
'Broken Promises
A number of farm leaders ac
cused the Eisenhower adminis
tration of a series of "broken
promises and praised the Demo
cratic farm plank as "the best
mat any political party has ever
had." The "goal of 100 per cent
of parity income" for farmers
was particularly noteworthy,
Glenn Talbott, President of The
North Dakota Farmer's Union,
said.
Other leaders urged, however,
that the Stevenson Midwest cam
paign must be more vigorous
than in 1952.
"We have never had a better
chance than this year," Paul
Opsahl, President of the South
Dakota Farmer's Union, said.
"But we have got to travel down
every side road and get the truth
direct to the farmers."
It . appeared Stevenson was
aware of this need and was map
ping plans to implement it.
Appearances Discussed
James Finnegan, Stevenson's
campaign manager, confirmed
that Stevenson would appear at
the National Field Days near
Two Women Killed
In Car-Train Crash
Jefferson, Ore. (U.R) Two
women were killed outright near
here yesterday evening when
their car was struck by a South
ern Pacific passenger train at
a private grade crossing.
State police identified the vic
tims as 53-year old Bernice Skel-
ton and 80-year old Maud Wied,
both of Jefferson.
Officers reported that the
northbound train struck the car
as it turned off the Marion road
onto the private road about one
half mile east of here. Apparent
ly the women failed to see the
train as it bore down upon them,
police said.
Mrs. Wied was a member of
one of the pioneer families of
this area, her ancestors crossing
the plains to settle in the Ore
gon country. Her twin sitter.
Myrtle, of Jefferson, survives.
Also surviving are 78-year old
twin sisters, Mrs. Sherman
Brown and Mrs. Henry Aloert,
both of Portland.

tional Committeeman Don Mitch
ell said he discussed several
other possible Iowa ?,-pearances.
although plans were not yet
completed.
Finnegan was "fully aware"
of the need for Stevenson to
campaign "often" in Iowa and
other Midwest states, he said.
Several farm leaders aimed
most of their barbs at Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra T. Benson.
Corbin Crawford, head of the
Iowa chapter of the National
Farmers' Organization, accused
Benson of "malfeasance in of
fice" and said the farmer "is not
interested in more broken prom
ises" from the GOP.
Kenneth Hones. President of
the Wisconsin Farmer's Union,
attacked Benson's handling of
the beef and pork purchase pro
grams. He said packers' profits
had gone up just about as much
as farm income from beef and
pork had fallen.
Benson, he. said, "transferred
farmers' income to packers'
pockets."
Must Get Income To Farmers
He said the Democrats should
stress parity of income, rather
than parity of price alone.
. This was echoed by Opsahl,
who said. "We've got to get in
come to the family farm if farm
ers are to stay on the land."
The Democratic farm plank
came in for repeated praise. Ste
venson's running mate. Sen.
Estes Kefauvcr, said the plank
was the "best ever adopted" and
he and Stevenson will "fight for
it"

Oregon Women Ask
Share of Bank hurts
San Francisco (U.R) Two
Oregon women who claim they
are descendants of one of the
founders of San Francisco's Hi
bernia Bank have demanded
their share of the bank's assets
which attorneys said "could run
into the millions."'
Mary Teresa Gentry and Viv
ian Clark Huntington filed suit
in Federal District Court yester
day alleging they were heirs of
Phillip Murphy, one of the men
who organized the bank in 1850.
The Misses Gentry and Hunt
ington charged that when the
bank was organized, each mem
ber shared equally in the assets.
They claimed old members were j
"frozen out," when the bank j
was reorganized. j
Walter McGovern, one of the
attorneys handling the suit, said j
his clients lay claim to a fund I
estimated at $8 million, "but the j
final accounting could run much
