The latest estimate’of the number of persons who will be required to ad minister the social security program when it is in full operation is 30,000. The work now under way in this bureau must be completed before the end of the year, for beginning on January 1, 1937, every worker reach ing the age of 65 will be entitled to retirement benfeits. - Monthly benefit payments for life will not begin until 1942, but any em ployed person reaching the age of 65 after the first day of next year can draw down from the social security account a lump sum amounting to 3 lier cent of whatever he may have earned after January 1, next, provided* he quit.s his job and goes war. , Say— “I SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE* Thank Yoi! ’ D.
