Jacobson, man ager of the Medford social security district office. "This is an increase of about 27 per cent over last year," he said. Jacobson noted that statis tics are compiled for. the na tion in Washington, D.C., for the past year, and figures for specific areas are distributed several months after the year ends. Jacobson stressed that while the benefits are intended pri marily for the beneficiary's economic security, the pay ment of social security bene fits at the rate of $4,645,836 a year in Jackson county helps business in the commu nity generally because most of the money is spent imme diately on food, clothing; and other necessities. Retired Worker "Payments to a retired worker with no dependents receiving benefits averaged $67.50 a month nationally in February, and to a retired couple $119.40 a month," Jacobson said. The average for a widow with two young children was $165. The maxi mum payment for a family is $254. ' - "There were several rea sons for the increase in bene ficiaries over last year," Jacobson said. The long-term growth of the aged population and the proportion of the aged population eligible for benefits are important factors in the continuing increase in the number of beneficiaries. Otherf reasons for the in crease of beneficiaries 'are found in the provisions of the 1958 Amendments to the So cial Security Act, which now make it possible for the wife, dependent husband, and chil dren of a disabled-worker beneficiary to receive month ly payments. Tne amend ments also provide for bene fits to aged dependent par ents of a deceased worker even though other survivors are entitled to payments. Moreover, he pointed out, it is now easier for a dis abled worker to qualify for benefit payments. He no long er needs social security credit for 1V& years of work in the .last 3 years before he became disabled. If he worked -under social security for at least 5 years out of the 10 before he became disabled he mav be eligible for disability bene fits. ; Increases in Payments v ; Increases in average month ly benefit payments reflect the 7 per cent raise in bene fit amounts which became ef fective with the-checks' for January, 1959, Jacobson said. Average disability benefit payments also reflect the elimination of the so-called "offset" provision in the old law. Disability benefits under social security are now pay able in full even though bene fits are also payable under state workmen's .- compensa tion or under some other fed eral government program. For the entire state of Ore gon, social security payments at the end of February, 1959, were being paid to 150,384 beneficiaries at the rate of $9,402,349.00 per month. .

Kussoan Proposes Joint Bam (Project Moscow-(UPD -A prominent Soviet scientist Saturday pro posed Russia and the U.S. collaborate on building, a dam across the Berlin strait which he said would radically alter the clmate of Alaska, Canada and Siberia. Stalin prizewinner Peter M. Borisov, writing in the Literary Gazette, proposed linking Asia and North Amer ica by a gigantic concrete dam across the 50 miles sep arating Alaska from Siberia. The dam would Talock the icy waters of the Arctic cur rent from flowing south and allow warm gulf stream wa ters north into the sub-Arctic area, he said. Would Change Climate - Such a dam; he said, would reclaim hundreds of millions of square miles of territory on two continents from perm anent frost and would also improve the climate of Europe and northern Asia. Soviet engineers have pro posed similar projects before, but never-so far as is known -had they urged Soviet-U.S. collaboration. Now modern technology has made the project feasible, Borisov said. The , Literary Gazette ap pealed to scientists and en gineers throughout the world to contribute comments and suggestions fo rthe realization of such a project. Responsibility Of Russ.-U.S. Borisov said the dam should be the major responsibility of the Soviet Union and the United States, but since other countries like Japan, China, Germany, Poland and . the Scandinavian -: nations would beneit, they should eventually be drawn into participation. He - said the energy for building - the dam : could be supplied: by floating atomic power stations or by fuel de veloped locally, - since both Alaska and Siberia ? have large deposits of oil and nat ural gas. .. ' According to Borisov, 47 per cent of the Soviet .Union is in the area of eternal frost, and 70 per cent of .Alaska is similarly frostbound.. TO VISIT BRITAIN .
