State Bank Bldg. w 05 m Social Security Numbers Must be Secured Failure to Secure Number or Loss May Lead to Much Difficulty in Getting Settlements. LINCOLN, June 24, Many Nebras ka wage-earners who are eligible for unemployment compensation bene fits, when they become payable under the Nebraska law after January 1, 1C39, may find difficulty in proving their claims clue to lack of a Social Security account number, it was point ed out in a statement issued by R. T. Malone, director of the Nebraska Un employment Compensation division. Cooperation of employers in report ing correct records for each employee lias been asked to assure prompt pay ment of benefits claims. "In checking over workers' wage reports filed with the division by em ployers of eight or more workers, who are therefore subject to the law, we find that many eligible Nebraska workers have failed either to apply for their Social Security account number or have lost the number after it was issued," said Malone. "Between 5,00!) and 7,000 errors have been found in workers wage reports, which must bs corrected. "Every covered worker whether under or over Go years of age must have a Social Security account num ber, so that an accurate check on his accumulated wage credits can be accurately kept. Workers w h o have not previously secured a Social Securtiy number should write im mediately to the nearest Social Secur ity field office for a r.ew number. Nebraska offices of the Social Se curity board are located at Lincoln Omaha, and North Platte." Wage reports and contributions for the second quarter of 1933, which ends June 30, may be filed and paid after Juh' 1, and must be submitted not later than July 31. "Some Nebraska workers have ob tained more than one Social Security number, secured while ' working for , differor.t employer.?,'' ?aid Malone. "This is confusing ar.d means thai such a person when filing a claim for benefits when unemployed in 1939 with the Unemployment Compensa tion Division may experience delay through the duplication of numbers or may not receive the full weekly unemployment benefits to which he would be entitled, due to the fact thai his wage records from which benefit amounts are computed would be listed under several different accounts. With two Social Security accounts numbers for the same worker, re cords of the division would possibly consider the worker as two separate persons." When the original Social Security number is lost, the worker! should notify his employer and immediately secure a duplicate and not a new number from the nearest Social Se curtiy board field office. Women, who continue to work aftei marriage, should also apply to the Social Security board offices for a change of name on their original ac count number, so that their wage records may be accurate. The Nebraska Unemployment Corn- pensation division i n a letter tc liable employers states: "The im portants of accurate Social Security account numbers may be appreciated I by the fact that application for bene fits after January, 1939, by an in dividual with an erroneous number would cause considerable annoyance to the employer, in addition to jeop ardizing the worker's claim. Much future correspondence and inconven ience will be saved employers in get ting these numbers correctly at this time, for all employees. Employers will also be protecting their own ac counts against the possibility of er oneous charges which would adversely affect their future merit rating,, by means of which wage contributions in the future may be materially re duced."

Jurgensen filed today as a candi date for re-election to his fourth term as lieutenant governor of Ne braska. The supreme court has under con sideration at the present time an ouster action brought by the attorney general to determine whether Jur gensen Is entitled to remain in office in view of his conviction of embezzle ment by a Lancaster district court Jury last March 7. He has appealed the case to the high court. Germany-Italy Make a Pledge to the Swiss Assure Little Mountain Republic Will Respect Its Neutrality in Letter to Envoy. By United Press Germany and Italy bound them selves today to respect the neutrality of Switzerland. Joachim Von Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano, German and Italian foreign ministers, made the pledge in letters handed to the Swiss min isters, at Berlin and Rome. Thus Switzerland joined Belgium in seeking the protection of new. specific pledges from individual gov ernment to keep them and their ter ritory inviolate in any European con flict. Belgium's neutrality concernr France and Germany, primarily, but Switzerland has frontiers on Ger many, Italy and France. It was understood that an official communique would be issued soon, announcing that by letter of June 21 from Count Galeazzo Ciano to Paul Ituegger, Swiss minister, Italy sol emnly engaged itself to respect Swiss neutrality. German recognition of Swiss neu trality was calculated to be of great importance diplomatically. In any general European war as conceived at present, the French-German fron tier would be visualized as a battle line. Belgium separates Germany r.nd France on the north ; Switzerland on the south, leaving an intermediate line oi which there is direct contact. In 1914 Germany invaded France through Belgium despite an inter national agreement that Bslgium should be neutral. However, Belgium recently sought recognition anew of her status as a complete neutral. Germany as well as France and Great Britain agreed specifically to recognize her as neu tral. Military experts, naturally con sidering everv eventuality, have spec ulated on the possibility that in case of war between Germany and France Germany might seek to march through Switzerland. Following Belgium's example Swit zerland row seeks to establish her self firmly as neutral. Hence the Ger man pledge was one calculated to be a historic document CCC ENROLLMENT JULY 6 LINCOLN, June 23 (UP) State Assistance Director Neil C. Vande moer today announced the next quar terly enrollment for CCC youths will be held July 6.

FREMONT. Neb., June 25 (UP) Plans for the circulation of a peti tion requesting Fremont business an l professional men to discontinue pur chases from Omaha wholesale firn: were made by the retailers commit tee of the Fremont Chamber of Com merce at a meeting yesterday. Tip committee took action during a di cussion to change the routing ( i alternate V. R. highway :,o for whirl: they held Omaha interests respon sible. Recommendations have been sent to towns along the Lincoln high way to take similar action. The concensus was that Omaha, re ceiving support and cooperation ii: its projects from outstate. has con tinually disregarded outstate inter ests and has worked against them. The speakers blamed the Omali.i Chamber of Commerce and motor club for taking the lead in the highway program. C. W. Motter, secretary of the i Fremont Chamber of Commerce said the campaign of Omaha was not the first time "Omaha has slapped out state towns in the face." Ho re ferred to the attempts of Fremont to honor the late A. H: Waterhotise by holding the district No. 2 teacher:; convention, a move he said was broken by Omaha school and busi ness interests. "Omaha must realize that a few programs of entertainment do not sufficie for fair play and square deal ing." he said. COLLEGE SHARES ADMINIS TRATION WITH STUDENTS TERRE HAUTE, Ind.
