Old Age Insurance
Program Gels Final
Approval, Congress
(By Associated Press)
An expanded old age insurance
program has won final approval
from a House-Senate conference
committee.
The bill would extend old age in- |
surance to 19-million workers not
covered at this time. Benefits would J
be increased up to 100 percent. Pay
roll taxes would be more than
doubled in the next 20 years,
i The bill now requires final ap

but that’s expected. Chairman Wal
ter George of the Senate Finance
Committee said the measure will
probably go to President Truman
next Monday.

PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., Aug. 2—
(tPi—A father and a mother, each of
whom lost a son when a B-36

Each had a son among the five air

Straley said. “Our story cannot be
told.”
She didn’t say why.
It is estimated that there are 429
different varieties of grapes.

'RED SHOES" WILL
BE SEEN TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
Many motion pictures are devoted
to the subject of newspapers, or deal
with them somewhere along the
line. But when a newspaper uses a
motion picture as the spring board
for an editorial—that's news.
This happy circumstance has
overtaken 'The Red Shoes" not
once but twice in the course of its
reserved-seat showings throughout
the country.
Said the Youngstown Vindicator:
'The handful of special guests who
had the good fortune to see a pre
view of the fabulous movie ‘Red
Shoes’ yesterday afternoon . . . were
so pleased and astounded that at
the conclusion of the performance
they did not wish to leave their
seats."
The Cincinnati Enquirer felt al
most the same way. It said:' "After
seeing 'The Red Shoes’ ... we won
ier why Hollywood does not more
pften attempt something of similar
juality and beauty."
"Red Shoes" which opens tonight
»t the Gross 20th Century after its
phenomenal two year run in New
York and elsewhere, has established
aew standards not merely in tech
ilque and subject-matter, accord
ng to many critics, but in the
lumber and variety of laurels it
las gathered.

Authoritative sources in Paris, re

leaders have no hope of defending
Western Europe if a Russian attack

In "X” months—the number is

strengthened sufficiently to make a
