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." LAND, FARM and

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

Fremont Business Houses Indignant
Over Change in Routing of
Highway No. 30.
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.
