McNutt Pledges Support

Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt has said that he will support whatever program is sponsored by the Social Security Board and the President. The SSB took the President’s press-conference statement to mean that the 27,000,000 or so persons now gainfully employed but not covered by Social Security would be given coverage. This would include old-age and survivors’ insurance. The SSB estimates the classes to be covered as follows: Agricultural workers, 3% to 4 million; farm operators, 6 to 7 mil-| lion; domestics, 2 to 214 million; Government employees, 4 million; religious and educational employees

MANY ARE THE ENTICING FEATURES about life in the Midwest, aside from our escaping automats at lunch hour and not having to go to Coney Island on Sundays. And one of the advantages, if you want to call it that, is’ the fact that our entertainment is pretty much sifted and culled before it gets to us. What I mean is that a play at English’s is more than likely a passable one or it wouldn't be there. One can assume- that it has been thoroughly “tried out on the dog.” The sane applies to the movies, although in a far lesser degree. By and large, we get our film entertainment here almost as soon as

“When the football season is over the best players re-form to make up the symphonic bands—and how they can play! Their interest in orchestral color combinations, and their development of the trumpet, obviously inspired by our fine jazz trumpet players, is supplying the vitality that is now suffusing American music.” “I went with Jack because I felt that under his highly specialized knowledge of distribution I could win a larger public. And I was right from the start. My first number for him was a band piece set to ‘Walt Whitman's lines which we called Freedom, Toleration and it sold well.
