Many lose Benefits By Failing To File Retired Workers Losing Benefits Inaccurate advice from wellmean Ing but inadequately informed friends may be coating some retired worker* money in the form of old-age and survivors insurance benefits. Christian H. W. Luecke. manager of the Fort Wayne office of the social security Icoard said today. The same kind of advice also may be keeping benefit checks from widows, children and parent* of workers who die. Mr. Luecke said. To counteract thl*. Mr. Luecke advised that every worker who is 65 or over and has been working in Insured employment —generally business and industry -should get in touch with the nearest office of the social aecurity board Immediately for Information as soon as he quit* his job. Even a brief delay may result In -a material loss to retired workers. If he is qualified for benefit*, the board will assist him to file a claim , If he needs additional work In <;ovcred employment to qualify, he will be told Just how much more. Similarly, when a worker die*, if social security taxes have been taken from his pay. the widow or other close relative should contact the board * office immediately. Mr. Luecke said. Full assistance in completing claims will be furnished by the field office. Contacts may be made by viait, by letter, or by telephone. Several retired workers who have delayed in filing claim* have Informed the board that friends had told them they were not eligible. Mr. Luecke said. "The bust

Between whom?" Argus asked. "Bill and hie father. I couldn’t help overhearing it. I was in the living room and Bill was tn his father’s library with the door open. 1 couldn’t make out much of what was said but I beard his father accuse Bill of taking the cheek. Later I tried to ask Bill about it, but he wouldn’t tell ate anything." "Whoi did thia quarrel take place!" “Lett week. Wednesday or Thursday, I don’t remember." "Did Cynthia Lane know about tbe cheek ? Was that why she was trying to get to Carstairs Sr, through you!" Argus asked. “In away. Mr. Carstairs Is interested in politics. Cynthia didn’t know about the cheek but she did know about Syria and my father-fci-law. She wanted me to make Bill give her some money to keep quiet about hia father. She mentioned something about some letters. Bill had told me that she bad already approached him and he had told her to go to tbe devil—eo—l did too.” “Doe* your father-in-law know about this!" “No. I haven't told Mm.” “It must bo tough on you,” Ellen eaid. sympathetically. “Where was Bill between five and six-thirty «u Monday!." Argus queried* "Why, I don’t know," answered Dorry. “Ho earn* homo around seven and we went to the Penguin Club." * “And how about yesterday afternoon!” “I don’t knew, Mr Steele." Argue get up. “1 think 111 wake up that huabaad of yours and ask him a few questions." Ho walked over to the eoueh. Roughly he shook Carstairs' shoulder. The boy grunt“Let me do it, please," Dorry pleaded. She knelt down beside th* divan and took hia head in her arm*. She spoke to him and coaxed him in a low voice. Cantairs opened one bleary ay*.

We have the exact information.*’ "While provision is made tor' some back payment* on delayed claims, delay may reduce the [ amount of benefits, or wipe them i out entirely in some cases. "Many workers of retirement age tell ua that they did not realize that they may continue to earn credits toward lienefits after reaching age 66. or that they may work tn covered employment, even after benefit* start, without Mcrtflciug their retirement insurance rights." Mr. Luecke said. "The true facts are that a worker may qualify for retirement bene fits at any age above 65. and that h<* merely gives up his benefit for those months in which he makes aa much as 515 In covered employ inent. He might work one month and give up hi* benefit, and uot work the next month and receive hl* benefit. "If you live in or near Auburn, Bluffton. Columbia City.

Carstairs looked blank. “What day was it!" “Tuesday." “Tuesday—l dunno." “How about Monday at aix!” "What io thia!" Bill asked. “And what day io today, did you say!” "Wednesday,” Ellen supplied. . "You phoned Syria Verne from th* Penguin Club on Monday night,” Argus triad again. “Did you reach her!" “Line —waa —busy," Bill hiccoughed. “Did you know that Syria Verne was murdered on Monday night!’’ the detective asked. Bill s *y*a clouded. 1 beard about it,” be aaid. Argus held up th* cancelled cheek so that Carstairs could read it “Too dropped thia,” be said. “Gimm* that!" said Bill, making an unsteady lunge "Not until you’ve answered some ousetisM and maybe not then,” Argus sternly declared. “The police would undoubtedly be delighted to lay hands on this little piece of *videwes •'That’s my check,” Bill Interjected. "Braid**, what business is it of years!” "None,” said Argus, "If It didn't so happen that Syria Verne was once a friend of mine. I’m interacted in anything that might have a connection with her death. You war* known to have been interested in Syria you were calling her on the night of the murder— you disappear for two days and I happen to know that you had a row over th<* cheek, with your father. Yesterday another model was ahot during a fashion show one who knew too much about you and your family "Derry,” Bill turned to his wife. "What have you been telling this guy?" He look-d haggard. “Nothing. H*—he said he’d tell the policy if 1 didn’t answer hi* quest ions." “Blackman'" snapped Bill. "How much do yoa want?" “I want answers to my question*.
