PAGE TWO. SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD TO PAY OUT HUGE SUM | Washington.—Chairman Arthur J. Altmyer of the Social Security Board estimates $110,000,000 will be paid in monthly benefits to 485,000 persons next year, who become eligble under terms of the newly amended Social Se- curity Act. The board, he announced, has stop- | ped receiving claims for lump sum old age insurance benefits from per- sons 65 years old. As one of the con- gressional revisions of the law, which President Roosevelt is expected promp- tly to improve monthly payments are substituted for the lump sum under | specified conditions. Under the amended program, bene- | fits to workers reaching 63 years will become payable next January 1, in- stead of in 1942 as originally contem- plated. The only revision of the old age in- surance system which will take imme- | diate effect upon presidential signature | to the amendments is the termination of the lump sum benefits, Altemyer pointed oul. Monthly payments will go to work- ers over 65 years who have paid taves on their incomes or for at least half the time between the effective date and their attainment of 65 years.

Delegates will come from England, France, Belgium, Poland and Germany — countries in which the conference has been held in the past.

NEW JUNIOR COLLEGE | IS LAUNCHED AT MT. | | Mount Aloysius, one of Pennsylva- | nia's pioneer schools for girls, will | launch in September of this year its new educational venture in the form of a Junior College. It will offer a first | yea rof standard college work in the | fields of Liberal Arts, Home Econom- ics, Public School Music, Secretarial Science and Pre-Nursing. The school ,established in 1853 by a courageous band of Sister teachers, offered at that time those branches of study considered essential for the young woman. It then specialized in languages, painting and the home arts. With the advancement in fields of learning the school kept pace and now | ranks as one of the leading Academ- ies in Western Pennsylvania. It again takes a forward step into a field of growing importance—that of the jun- ior college. A Junior College is an institution of- fering two years of work of post high school nature, which is based upon and | fully accredited secondary school.

During the school year 1939-40 | Mount Aloysius will present the first year of Junior College and following year will find it extending its course of study to the full two years. Because of the central location of this institution many young women from surrounding high schools will find it possible to commute and enjoy the advantages of college and home THE UNION PRESS-COURIER. | life, a combination that is of great | value to the student. To those located | at a greater distance, the school of- | fers a residence hall in an atmosphere beneficial to physical, mental and mor- al well-bing. In opening its Junior College, Mt. Aloysius does not thereby regard its long established academy of grades and high school of less importance. It aims to extend to its student body op- portunities of educational advancement and to welcome within its portals yong women who have completed high school work and who look forward to cther branches of study under the care- | ful guidance of women who have de- voted their lives to the education of youth.

A SA Ae i and members, of their family never | saw them again. During the intervening quarter century Tulare county peace of- ficers made sporadic but unsuccess- | ful efforts to determine what hap- | pened to the couple. The two daugh- ters of the Wests, Mrs. Elizabeth Antony and Mrs. Mamie Higgins of | Los Angeles, despaired of learning the fate of their parents and became reconciled to a simple theory of disappearance. Found Father Changed Name, Then in 1936 they heard that a rancher named Jacob Clinton had | died in a little mountain community south of San Francisco. They sus- pected and finally learned definite- ly that Jacob Clinton and their fa- ther—Jacob Clinton West--were the Same person. From that one fact, officials un- wound one of the most bizarre stories in the history of crime in California. They learned that less than a year after the disappearance, West assumed the name of Jacob Clinton and married his wife's sis- ter, Mrs. Hattie Downhour. They learned that West constantly reassured Mrs. Downhour there was rio danger of bigamy because they “would never again hear from Lu- cinda’’—the first Mrs. West. explained his assumed name by say- ing he was a fugitive from Los An- geles authorities who wanted him on a forgery charge. Then, Mrs. Downhour told the au- thorities, when West was dying two years ago he called her to his bed- side. “Hattie,” he told her, “I have something to tell you, something about Lucinda. I swear by my God I paid $2,500 to a man to get rid of | her.” Jealously Guarded Secret. Mrs. Downhour said that was her | first inkling she had that her sister | had met with foul play at the hands | of the man who then was her hus- band. From that dying statement, Mrs. Downhour said, she understood why West refused to be given opi- ates when he suffered violent heart l al he fea g delirium he he body ey with tw 3 EF t, body of a woman found in the F s river near Visa- lia the year after th sappearance may have been Mrs. West.
