WHILE THEY LAST S 5 10 em CAPITOL CORNER By Rep. Glerui Cunningham Washington, D. C. (Special) It is ironic that the latest threat to this American hemisphere and the Monroe Doctrine should come from Russia. For it was Russian threats over 135 years ago that prompted the Monroe Doctrine. " The Soviet Union had designs on Latin America and the north west coasts of United States. But President James Monore speeled out the doctrine that has come to bear his name in a message to Congress on Decem ber 2, 1823. President Monroe declared that "the American continents, by the free and independent con ditions which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." The Consumer Price Index, Which is the index used to deter mine the cost of living, will be revised. - There has been criticism -that the various items used by the Government in determiniing the cost of living do not reflect all the major categories where Americans actually spend their money. So a four-year survey of American family buying habits will determine how . we spend our money and in what major fields . Then the Consumer Price In dex will be changed to reflect this new information. v The census has been finished virtually everywhere, but the Census Bureau is having trouble getting the final results from some slum sections of New York City. , People in these sections refuse to give information, won't coop erate in returning forms, and won't take jobs of collecting the data. The Census Bureau also finds people from outside the area won't stay on the job long enough to pry out the Information. Widow Eligible For Husband's Social Security Widows age' 62 or over are entitled to full social security benefits on their deceased hus bands' accounts if they meet certain retirement tests, ac cording to A. F. Silber, manager of the social security district office in Lincoln. A widow's rate is 34 of her husband's monthly benefit a mount. Those who are insured on their own social security ac counts may choose to claim their widows' benefits at age 62 and later take lull benefits on their own accounts when they reach age 65. Any widow whose husband died fully Insured may receive widow's benefits tor all. months after she is 62 years old if her earnings from wages or self employment are $1200 or less a year. If her earnings are be tween $1200.01 and $2080 per year she may receive benefits for one or more months. Even when earnings total more than $2080. during the year, a widow may receive benefits tor any month in which she did not work in self-employmment or did not earn wages of more than $100. A widowed teacher who had reached age 62 last April re cently called at the social secur ity office. Her total earnings will total more than $2080 for 1960; however, she had com pleted her school term on May 27th and will not return to her duties until August 22 of this year. Since she will have earned less than $100 in the months of June and July, she was advised that she could file for two months of widow's benetits, at $65 per month. She restricted her application to widow's benefits. Then when she reaches age 65, based on probable average earnings of $250 a month, she will be eligible to claim full benefits on her own social se curity account, amounting to a bout $95 a month. This lady also asked about her widowed twin sister who earns $100 a month. Since at this rate of pay the sister earns no more than $1200 a year, she can re? ceive 12 months of widow's benefits for 1960 if she files her application before the end of the year. All widows who draw benefits are required to file an annual report by April 15, after any year in which their earnings exceed $1200, if they are under 72 year of age in any month of the year. Penalties apply to those who fail to make such' a report. Silber said that anyone who thinks she may be entitled to file a claim for either widow's insurance benefits or for bene tits on her own social security account, should get in touch with the Lincoln social security office as soon as possible. He also called attention to the fact that field representatives from that office make regularly scheduled visits to all larger communities. They will be glad to answer inquiries and assist applicants in filing their claims. A schedule of such visits is a vailable at all post offices and in most other public offices. Testimony before Congression aj committees this year disclos ed a U. S. loan of $3 million to the Netherlands to build houses for Dutch settlers in Sidney, Australia. This summer the Washington Monument is open until 11 p.m. and the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial are open un til 10 p.m. Previously they have closed at 5 p.m. National Park Service guards at the memorials report more people are stooDlne bv the mem orials at night than visit all day lone. It is thought that many of the evening visitors are residents of wasnington who have never vis lted the monuments.

He may be in a northwestern trout stream, or trolling a reservoir, or sit ting beside a farm pond In the southeast. He will be out in summer dog days and deep winter. He starts angling this month, on a pro- lect that is unique in the United States. He is a Game Commission fisheries biologist, who will be mapping and angling every stream and lake in Nebraska that supports a fishable popula tion. Hints and helps he picks ud from each area will be pass ed on to sportsmen via news- naDPr releases, and later a i brochure. "Too Many of our game fish are caueht by too few anglers," Keith Krecik of Valentine, dis trict Game Commissioner, said in releasing the information. "The old saying that 10 per cent of the fishermen catch 90 per cent of the fish is certainly true in Nebraska, particularly in the Sand Hills lakes and in the reservoirs. "We need more fishermen, and this project is initiated to help Nebraskans become better and more sucessful anglers." Keith Donoho, formerly fish eries biologist at Alliance, has been picked to head the project. He will spend full . time in checking waters over the state, determinining such things as where and how to fish, best baits to use for certain species, how deep to fish during certain times of the year, and anything THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WfFKLY JOURNAL Thursday, August 11, 1960 Section B ' FAGE THREE else that will help the average fisherman catch more fish. Part of his job will be to find out how the average fisherman can catch more fish during the hot months when most fishing generally falls off, and also dur ing the winter months. New fishing methods for certain species will be tried out. Donoho will also evaluate methods for better usage of non-game species. Starting point will be the reservoir area, later this month.

Furrer said that 2, 4-D is non poisonous to warm-blooded ani mals, and therefore fruits and vegetables that have been ex posed to the spray may be eaten without fear. "In fact the Federal Food and Drug Administration has estab lished a tolerance of five parts per million for 2,4-D on certain fruits and vegetables to testify to its safety," he added. Furrer said that although the fruits and vegetables are safe to eat, precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the plants since there is often a great loss in their productivity. He recommended the following measures to prevent accidental wind drift damage: Stay a reasonable distance away from the garden when spraying; Make sure the breeze is in the direction away from the garden; Use the amine salt form of 2,4-D rather than the ester form which is more likely to develop fumes. )T:u.i;u ui :uu A' KM TELEVISION Not a 21" . . .
