YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
If you are covered by Social
Security you will be interested
in tlie following statement by
A. J. Altmeyer as Chairman, of
the Social Security Board:
“The (Social Security) 'Act
does not meet—and indeed was
never expected to meet—ALL
our security needs . . . Neither
the present law nor any other
act of Government can make a
man ‘secure.’ All social legisla
tion can do ... is to furnish
the individual a solid footing
on which to achieve security
for himself.”
I would be glad to explain to
you just how the Social Se
curity benefits apply in your
own case, and how life insur
ance can provide the more
complete protection you want
for your family and yourself.

BERLIN, Aug. 7, — UP) -*• East
Berlin was jammed with Com
munist youth today for a “world
peace festival" whose main theme
was hatred of the United States
and loyalty to Russia's Prime
Minister Stalin.
The tone for the $10,000,000
celebration was set yesterday In
fiery speeches at the opening
Hitler-style rally by last Ger
many’s Communist President Wil
helm Pieck.
About 80,000 blue-shirted young
Communists crowded a sports ar
ena in the Russian sector to hear
him denounce the “American-Eng
lishe warmakers.” In response, the
youngsters roared lustily:
"Long live the Soviet Union,
which gives the great example of
peaceful construction to the peo
ples."
Officials claimed that 2,000,000
youths' would take part irt the
show, but admitted that only 240,
000 were on hand in the city yes
terday. All but 10,000 of these were
from Russian-occupied East Ger
many.
The peace festival had to do
do without Traude Eisenkold, a
beautiful 19-year old blonde, w’ho
had been slated to queen the pro
ceedings.
After a big buildup as the “ideal
progressive woman," Traude fled
to the west and told reporters:
“I’d rather pound a typewrite,
even scrub floors, in the west than
be a Communist glamor girl in
the east.”

Spellbinding
'Alias Nick Beal'
al 20th Century
One of movieland’s most diabolic
ally fascinating men is holding audi
ences spellbound at the 20th Century
Theatre. He is portrayed by Ray
Milland. who has the title role In
Paramount’s mystery thriller. "Alias
Nick Beal." Milland has made this
devilish Beal a magnet to everyone
who seeks thrilling and suspenseful
entertainment. He is aided and
abetted by tense dramatic situations
and an unusual kind of excitement
provided by the off-the-beaten
path story. Gorgeous Audrey Totter
and Thomas Mitchell are Milland’s
co-stars and the people who suffer
most at his sinister hands.
The film’s exciting action rises
and ends in the shadowy mists of
a lowly waterfront dive in a major
uity. In between, three oddly con
trasted individuals weave the story
together. The plot concerns the
machinations of a wicked but ir
resistible man who infects with evil
everyone who crosses his path.
