If you are, sec your Social Security of fice now, advises Edward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Medford office. By applying for your retire ment benefits a few weeks be fore you stop working, you can speed up receipts of your first check, he said. "Inquire before you retire," is a good rule to remember. Whether you've decided to re tire or not, you should visit the social security office a month or so before you reach retirement age. "We won't tell you whether you should retire," Jacobson explained, "but we can tell you when to apply for social security." By checking with the social security office before you re tire, you can be sure of receiv ing your first retirement check promptly. Payment of retirement benefits at age 62 is now possible for both men and women as a result of amendments to the social se curity law made last year. The social security repre sentative will, help you get whatever proofs are needed lo complete your application. For example, Jacobson said, you'll probably need to prove your age. The office can tell you whether any of the docu ments you have will do. Check with social security even if you're still working. You don't have to quit work entirely to get social security benefits. Many people have tilis wrong impression, and they are losing social security payments. The Medford Social Secu rity office is located at 1005 East Main st.. in the Mall building, and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Counsel With . . .

(UPI photo) Washington Report By William (c United Fenturg Syndicate ARMISTICE ENDS Washington - The long ar mistice in direct Republican presidential politicking which has persisted since election night of 1960 has now end ed. In the po litical calen d a r a new year has al ready opened, as from the morning after the Nov. 6 congressional and state elec tions. Already there is a stir ring among the various back ers of the broadened field of 1964 Republican presidential possibilities which those elec tions proved in the triumphs won by Governors-elect Wil lian Scranton in Pennsylvania and George Romney in Mich igan. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York still heads the list of these possibilities. But his old stand-out position has been compromised both by the successes of Scranton and Romney and by the fact he won reelection much less han dily than his managers had predicted. rpHE defeat of Richard Nix A on for governor in Califor nia has removed him from real consideration for the presidential nomination itself. It seems increasingly doubt ful, however, that has eras ed him as a major figure in the 1D64 rj.O.P. presidential convention. California's delegation to that convention will be im mensely important-and it is far from certain that even in his defeat Nixon will lack in fluence over which way this and other delegations will go. The Nixon haters, the most implacable band in American politics, have not been con tent simply to see him licked The Balkan-like vendetta with which they have pursued him even beyond the brink of his presumed political grave has been both cruel and fool ish. They have undoubtedly rallied to him-and possibly also enlarged-that large na tional political following which might otherwise have been content simply to call it quits and turn elsewhere. REPUBLICANS particu larly the organization types who usually control presidential conventions- have long memories. And they do not necessarily and always discard the leadership advice of losers.

White for one example, came back from two crushing presiden tial defeats to moid and mas ter succeeding G.O.F. conven tions as a backroom king maker. The shrill animosities of the hysterial kind of Demo cratic partisan - animosities which President Kennedy himself scorned by making a courtesy call upon Nixon his first business after defeating the former vice president two years ago-have left Nixon at least an enigmatic factor. Oth erwise, he might hardly have been a factor at all. Politics is not a business of sentiment. But politicians are not immune from the common American trait not to enjoy seeing a man kicked when he is down-and indeed some times to pick him up. dust him off and help him have another go. A MONG the major actual possibilities. Rockefeller has been handicapped by the unwisely extreme forecasts made for his reelection by some of his people-Rockefeller by 800.000 to one million. In fact, of course, he won by half a million-but now this is being described by backers of other Republican hopefuls as "only" half a million. Scranton and Romney have thus been promoted while Rockefeller has been put somewhat on the defensive. Their immediate problems are less than his, if simply be cause it is not constantly said of them ihat they won by "only" such and such. It is, therefore, less claimed than it was before the recent election that Rockefeller would be the more or less in evitable choice for 1964. Many Republican politicians for the first time are talking seriously, and not merely in a comfortably speculative vein, about Scranton and Romney -with a bit more emphasis on the first name because Scran ton has had previous political experience and because he comes from the bigger slate in electoral strength.

Grossly under-reported and underestimated here, these de velopments well may mark another milestone in the unifica tion of the Atlantic nations and in the common defense of the West against any enemy military, political or economic. Here is what has taken place. (1) In Paris, the top financial policy-makers of 20 nations, including those of Western Europe, the United States and Canada, met behind closed doors to work out policies to fight any threat of recession anywhere in the free world next year. The key word is "together." Not in all history have competing nations made this sort of effort to cooperate to combat general business downturn and to achieve prosperity for all. The effort alone reveals a new recognition that eco nomic deflation in one nation flashes trouble for all. Most significantly, the meeting resulted in approval by our foreign friends of U.S. plans to slash taxes next year to spur our economy's growth, in an understanding that the U.S. budget delicit caused by the tax cuts will not be "fiscal irresponsibility" and in an implied agreement that they'll not raid our dollar and gold reserves. (2) In Brussels, the leading policy-makers of the six na tions belonging to the Common Market met to work out their own programs to fight recession within Europe in 1B63 or thereafter. They also started tary and economic institutions down more of the barriers The era of "one Europe" is unfolding more rapidly than any one even dreamed. Consider what these developments could mean. In decades gone by, when the United Stales economy stumbled, we usually dragged Europe down with us, and independent action which European countries took and we took often helped turn a decline into a slump. In decades gone by when a great country fell into financial difficulties and the solidity of its currency became suspect, raids by speculations and self-protective steps taken by bankers in other nations frequently helped topple the troubled coun try's currency. But if the experiments initiated at Paris and Brussels turn into hard agreements, this will be no more. The free world's leaders will work together to avert business declines, and when we resolve to adopt coordinated policies to keep our economics growing strongly we will achieve the strong growth. We are the masters, not the servants, of our economic systems. We will work together to protect each other's currencies from attack and preserve each other's gold reserves, and when we do this each of us will be able to concentrate more on bolstering our own economics. We are the masters, not the servants, of the speculators. ' The 20-nation meeting at Paris was the Economic Policy Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a rital foundation of the At lantic Community. Our delegation, headed by the Presi dent's chief economic adviser. Dr. Waller H. Heller, ex plained our plans for substantial tax reductions to stimu late our economy, obtained the support of the Europeans for our plans. The six-nation meeting at Brussels was the Commission of the European Economic Community (EEC). At that meet ing "The Six" proposed a monetary union which the London Economist calls "the biggest monetary venture" since we created our Federal Reserve System. The commission also submitted plans for a "community" budget for The Six and for coordination of economic planning on an unprecedented scale. The cconomic-financial-commercial unification of the free world began in a faltering way at Bretton Woods in 1944. with the establishment of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. It has progressed since through the Marshall Plan, the European Payments Union, the various Internation al tariff-cutting agencies, the Common Market, the OECD, our new Trade Expansion Act, now these events. The free world is unifying and the limits and potentiali ties of this are only those of our own imaginations. Stop Me a local radio station recently tow.

Pacific Hwy. 772-6223 OREGON 'Shot in the Dark' Entertaining As First League Play Those who attend the the ater for relaxation and amuse-1 mcnt found it last night in I the opening play of the Broad way Theater league season in Medford. It was "A Shot in the Dark," starring the appealing little French actress, Annie Fargc, in a French comedy mystery which depends heav ily upon casual love affairs to keep the plot alive. Miss Fargc is billed as the star, and she really is the star. "A Shot in the Dark" was written by Marcel Achard for the French stage and adapted by Harry Kurnitz for presen tation in this country. It con cerns a wealthy and aristo cratic French couple, their parlormaid. Miss Farge's role, and their Spanish chauffeur who has murdered before the play opens but whose presence is constantly there because he had been the maid's lover and she is accused of killing him. Joel Thomas is the pompous Benjamin Beaurcvcrs, the wealthy Frenchman, and Frcddi Chandle is his wife. Robert Burr is a dedicated but vulnerable magistrate who questions the maid, Paul Bal lantyne is the chief prosecutor and Stanley Jay is the court clerk. Barbara Stanton is the magistrate's pretty, whole some wife. Needs To Be Sharp The dialogue is sharp and it needs lo be for the play has little action. For most of the first act, Miss Farge sits in the middle of the stage in a chair, the magistrate sits in his chair and the clerk sits at his table while the magistrate questions the maid. It is fortunate that Miss Farge is vital, pert and can dominate a stage while sitting in a chair. Otherwise, the play would be pretty much of a loss, in spite of the well-seasoned and comic lines. But Miss Farge's tiny body - she weighs about 90 pounds, fairly vibrates and she is extremely effective with a toss of the hand a shake of the head or a rolling eye. She makes the maid of casual morals an ap pealing and likeable person. Carried by the French dy namo, the play held last night's audience; there was much good, solid laughter, ap for holiday I I PT& -ft f i J7 A .MdjJ&E2Z2 , :i,;;:., L !
