Are you planning to retire
the end of the year? 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.

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. Thomas E. Dewey,

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.

FREE WORLD UNITING VERSUS RECESSION
A series of events of potentially enormous bread-and-butter
meaning to the hundreds of millions of us who live
in the free world has just occurred in Paris and Brussels.
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.

'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

the play and several curtain
calls at the end. It was, all in
all, a most satisfactory open
ing for the season.
Following the play, mem

and most of the cast and other
company members attended
and mingled with the theater
patrons in a friendly fashion.
