Run Into Snag New York The Young Americans for Freedom have run into another snag in lining up prominent, guests for their pro-conservative, anti-Communist rally here March The latest question is whether President Herbert Hoover will join in the meeting.

Lodge, former assistant secretary of labor for international affairs, told a brotherhood meeting Sunday: "lie, who in the name of anti-communism, plays on the fears or doubts of people and who questions American leaders whose proof of integrity is beyond a doubt, acts neither in the cause of brotherhood nor in the best intemti of the nation. Proposed River the power supply and demand warrant.

A controversy had developed over whether two low dams at Goat Island and Carters Island one hitch dam should be built. The division enginaer's report recommended the high dam at Trotters Shoals. It would he between Hartwell 1 and Clark Hill dams, some 30 miles souf h-southeast of Hart-well. The dam would be near Abbeville, S. and Elberton, Ga.

It would complete the development of the upper Savannah River. When the Trotters Shoals. Carters Island and Goat Island projects were suggested two years ago, South Carolina legislators expressed opposition. The further development of the river through dams was favored by Georgians. Bills were offered last year to authorize the Duke Power to build a retaining dam across the Savannah River at Middleton Shoals in Anderson county, S.

C. With construction of this dam, Duke proposes to build the largest steam power plant in the world at a cost of $280 million. Rep. William Jennings Bryan Dorn, D-S. urged passage of this authorization legislation.

He told the House that authorization must be approved this session for the power company to begin its other construction on schedule. He called the House's attention a resolution adopted Jan. 25 by the South Carolina General Assembly. It memorialized Congress to enact legislation authorizing Duke Power to build the retaining dam. Dorn said the Duke project would use $2G million worth of coal annually, furnish employment for many, and would pay federal, state and local taxes of about $18 million annually.

When the bill authorizing the Duke project was introduced last year, its sponsors said it would not be incompatible with either the high or the low federal dams under consideration in that area the Savannah River.

Construction of the 700,000 Trotters Shoals Dam and Reservoir on the Savannah River has been recommended by the South Atlantic Division Army Engineers. Sens. Herman E. Talmadge and Richard B.

Russell, Georgia Democrats, said the division engineer had informed them of his favorable recommendation after a long study of the project. The division engineer's report has been forwarded to the Army Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors for its consideration. The project would cover parts of Elbert and Hart counties, Ga.f and Abbeville and Anderson counties, S. C. The Board of Army Engineers and the chief of engineers must approve i before Congress can be asked to authorize it.

The dam and reservoir would have a hydroelectric power installation of 210,000 kilowatt capacity. The estimated cost is based on 1961 prices. The project also would require an operation and maintenance cost of $483,000 annually. The project would be the third unit in a comprehensive plan for development of the Savannah River Basin.

SIMS, Field Representative, Spartanburg, S. C. Question: My husband died 25 years ago. I am (VA. Can I get a widow's benefit from social security? Answer: No.

He died before 1937, the first year social security started, and so he had no social security credits. Question: I have been getting widow's checks since my husband died in 1956. My only child became 18 and my checks were cut off. Why? Answer: To get a widow's check you must be 62 or be caring for your husband's child who gets benefits. As your only child has reached age 18 and no longer gets payments, your checks stopped also.

Your checks may be started again when you are 62. Question: I am a minister. Can I get social security coverage? Answer: Yes, to get this coverage you must fi'e a certificate, Form 2031, with Internal Revenue. There is a time limit on filing thia certificate. For most ministers this time limit expires April 15, 1962.

Question: I'm still working and won't reach retirement age for another year. However, I would like to know about how much I can expect to receive when I retire. What should I do? Answer: You should call, write, or visit your nearest Social Security Administration office and ask for leaflet No. 855, "How to Estimate The Amount of Your Social Security This illustrated leaflet gives a step-by-stcp method of arriving at an estimate of the amount of social security henciits you will receive on retirement. Question: I was born in 1900 and plan to apply for my retirement benefits at apre 62 early in 1962.

What should I bring to prove my age? Answer: If at all possible, you should brine; in some record that was established before 1906. Some of the proofs which would likely be acceptable include old family Bible, old insurance policies, baptismal or birth certificates, a child's certificate showing your age as purent, marriage licenses, which show your age, old voting or poll tax records, military service records, census records, lodge records, etc. If you have no proof to bring in, you should come in nnyway and discuss your problem with your social security office. or to of "This is one place you've just gotta visit!" Have you ever had a friend approach vou with this type of declaration about a place he has just visited? Well, we would preface this column by just such an emphatic statement. Litchfield Beach, Litchfield Plantation and Litchfield Inn should be among the musts for travelers in South Carolina.

The name Litchfield rings a magic note in the history of the Palmetto State's coastal country. While the beach has its attraction and scores of homes have recently been built either by people seeking a place to spend their pleasureable moments or by contractors with sales in mind, the somewhat "spooky" area around the 167-year-old Litchfield Plantation house draws a large number of visitors daily. This house is believed by many local residents to be the playground for several ghosts. Alice of the Hermitage is supposed to return occasionally to search for the ring her lover gave her. Theodosia, who vanished in a storm at sea, is said to return by the trhostal route to shuffle along the long hallways of the house.

Then, there is the story of the jrenial Dr. Tucker, who supposedly rides up to the gate of the plantation house on horseback and rings a bell, fv-hfeh isn't there. This house, enshrouded in moss-ladened oaks at the end of a long typical tree-lined drive, will soon become a golf and country club. An 18-hole golf course will soon circle about the plantation and the old carriage house will become the pro shop. A few hundred yards to the south of Litchfield Plantation is All Saints W'accamaw Episcopal Church and burial ground.

It is here that a grave bearing a thick cement marker and the single word "Alice" entombs Alice of the Hermitage. Also, a monument to Thomas George Pawley, born in 1699 and the son of the man for whom Pawleys Island was named, stands guarding the entrance to the cemetery and acts as a mute witness to transactions in the little white-columned Episcopal church, where services have been hdd since 1767. The plantation and church are situated about four miles from plush Litchfield Inn, where pictures of the "Ghosts of Litchfield and Pawleys" line the walls. Near the inn, a group of apartment houses are beinir built for occupancy later this year. North of this section of the beach is a section of property owned by International Paper Co.

at Georgetown and which acts as a divider between Litchfield Beach and North Litchfield Beach. Modern beach homes have been constructed as the resort has grown over the brief span of three years since the development has been pushed along by Wallace Pate and company. Whether you wish to visit Litchfield Beach for a week or week end; or if its just a drop-in visit to see Litchfield Plantation and the surrounding history-filled area, you could hardly go wrong making this trip anytime during the year. The area is located just off the Ocean Highway Highway 17 a handful of miles south of Myrtle Beach. For further directions, ask your courteous service station attendant.

No Wonder Oklahoma City. A man pushed his pickup truck into a service station and told attendants he had run out of gas. The driver climbeS into the truck as an attendant began filling the tank, just behind' the driver's seat. Suddenly the driver yelled for the man to turn off the gasoline it was flooding the seat. A check disclosed someone had stolen his gas tank.
