CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS
By 1)1,11 ADDISON
THE COMIC BOOK business, that
Peck's Bad Boy step-brother of
the newspaper funnies. Is grow
ing up. There's been a Justifiable
uproar over the terror books, the
horror books and the salacious
books as stimulators of Juvenile
delinquency. Reformers said,
"there ought to be a law."
Well, the comic book Industry
has taken a lesson from organized
baseball and the movies and is
taking steps to clean up Its own
business. Judge Charles F. Mur
phy will resign as a magistrate of
the City of New York on October 1
to become czar of the comics book
Industry.
Twenty three publishers, five en
gravers, seven distributors, six
printers and one mat maker of
the comics book industry are
drawing up a code of ethics for
comics books and will provide
Judge Murphy with a $100,000 bud
get to regulate the Industry.
'Die code will be the "stronROKt
ever ndopted by a mass media In
dustry." It will forbid the use of
the words "horror" and "terror"
in titles, and will ban all "lurid,
gruesome or unsovory lllustra
tratlons," The code also will bar the por
trayal of crime in any way that
would foster imitation or promote
distrust of law enforcement agen
cies. Suggestive scenes and sala
cious Illustrations will likewise be
banned.
We haven't seen any of Uie real
ly lurid books but there's no ques
tlon that millions of copies have
been circulated, particularly In the
cities, and It's good to see the
comics book people cleaning up
their own nest.
How effective the cleanup be
comes still remains to be seen, of
course. Judge Murphv, former le
gal counsel to the late Mayor La
Ouardla, will okay or turn thumbs
down 'on new books. A seal of ap
proval will be printed on all
"okayed" books, it will remain
lor all ocople connected with the
business, and the public, to make
the sell-censorship effective by re
fusal to handle those which don't
come up to standards of the code

ca, but even non-members are
going along with the movement

of these non-members, which pub

Social Security Official
Clarifies Work Question
By EVERETT EATON
Manager, Klamath Falls Office
Social Security Administration
"How much can 1 earn under
the new law and still keep my
Social Security Check?" This Is a
question frequently asked In the
Social Security office these days.
Until January 1, 1955 the old re
tirement test applies and benefici
aries who earn over 575. during a
calendar month in gross wages
will not be entitled to their old
age insurance or survivor's insur
ance check for that month. Cash
bonuses of any type are considered
as wages in determinuig the gross
earnings for the month in which
the bonus is received
Beginning January 1, 1955 Uie
new retirement test provided by
the 1954 amendments to the Social
Security Act will become opera
tive. The new test Is on an annua!
basis and will allow beneficiaries
of all categories to earn more and
still receive their benefit check
regularly. Those who work for
wages may earn $1,200 gross dur
ing a year and receive a benelit
check each month. I- does noi
matter whether the 11,200
earned in four or five months or
spread evenly over the year; you
will still be entitled to 12 benefit
checks for the year.
"What happens if my earnings
in 1955 exceed (1,200" Is usually
the next question, ln that case
you lose one benefit check for
each month. As an example if you
work steadily at $125 per month
you would earn 81.500 in 1955 and
your excess earnings would be
JO0. In that case you would be
entitled to eight benefit checks for
the year.
However, if your work Is season
al and you don't work in all 12
months of the year it is possible
to receive your benefit check lor
any month in which you do not
earn over $80., even though you
have earnings consldeiably in ex
cess of 1.200 for the year. As an
example many loggers work about
fix months during the year and
earn about $2,500. Such a bene
ficiary would be entitled to his
checks for the'other six months of
the year, provided he didn't earn
over SB0 per month.
The retirement test for self-employed
beneficiaries in 1955 will be
......, iitw th. umR as in the past
pxcent thev will be allowed $1,200
ln net earnings instead of $900.
u..... a KPif.errralovcd benelici-
ary must add any wages or other
earnings to his net business in
come in determining wnether his
.,rio ped $1,200. A
o,t.omninvpd benelicisry is
titled to his benefit check for any
month in which he does not render
substantial services in the conduct
of his business, regardless of the
amount of his net income for the
year. .
Thi is the last of a scries ol
articles explaining the 1954 amend
ments to the Social Security Act.
Anyone desiring further informa

The attractive early years, when

grnwr.-up approach to life and its
problems have certainly yet

to be careful crossing the street
and similar instructions from
grownups seem merely adding to
the confining and senseless rules
which are always interfering with
fun.

The problems ol youth arc every

Every parent and teacher should
understand this and operate their
relationships with the youths un
der their direction accordingly.
An excellent pamphlet on this
subject, called "Understand Your
Child From Six to Twelve,"
has been published by the nono-

with youngsters of these ages is
that It is so hard for the parents
to think back to these years them

True, most of us can remember

are showing up unexpectedly today
In three sectors of the economy'
metals, textiles and money.
In each case the shortage is
special, regional or temporary. But
it has been enough to raise pricu
or interest costs.
And it Is troubling- certain busi.
nessmen. Some are asking Wash.
ington to do something about it
There was so much copper earlll
er this year that producers ex.
peeled the 30-cents-apound price
to break any day.
Now there is so little to be had
that copper futures on the Ntw
York Commodity Exchange have
gone to their highest level in two
years.
And copper users are urging
Washington to release some of the
metal earmarked for the nation's
strategic materials stockpile so
that civilian and military produc
tion won't be held up by the
shortage.
The tight supply came about this
way: earlier in the year, when
copper seemed too plentiful in re
lation to demand, producers cut
back on the output of mines and
smelters. Stocks were held close
to the demand level.
Recently, a series of strikes both
here and in Chile has shut off
much of the world's c oppcr
sources. At tne same time, demand
for copper continued to rise in
Europe, which has been experience,
ing a boom rather than a reces
sion. Copper ,1s so short abrosd
just now that metal for quick it
livery commands premium prices.
American stockpiling also hss
tightened supplies of lead and zinc
enough to raise their prices in re
cent weeks.
Quicksilver has also been on the
short side, with prices going to the
highest level in years, and traders
unable to explain where all of the
mercury Is going unless into the
U.S. stockpile.
In textiles the short supply situa
tion is very spotty and is brought
about largely by consumer prac
tices. But demand for some items
Is big enough to lead some mills
to raise prices a little.
Buying practices have been the
cause of the spot tightness. Textile
buyers don't want to take any
risks these days so they have been
placing only small orders and ask
ing quick delivery.
Tightness in money Is even more
puzzling Just now since the Federal
Reserve banks have been keeping
the supply easy for the nation is
a whole. The tightness shows up
mainly in New York and Chicago,
while banks elsewhere mostly have
excess reserves looking for bor
rowers. The New York and Chicago
banks have been buying up the
U.S. Treasury offerings week by
week and slowly raising the in
terest costs to the government, as
the supply of money tightened.
Banks elsewhere haven't been
sending their Idle money in to take
up any of the supply of treasury
bills.
Money has grown tight in New
York and Chicago and Interest
rates have firmed there, while out
side these cities there's lots of
money in the banks, that is, if
not in your pocketbook.
