The month following this next new moon of July 13 is indeed a momentous one for China.

It is the turning point in the whole Fat East situation, and with the slightest hint of a crack in Japanese defenses, the Chinese will rally aa never before, and actually accomplish something very unusual. Rumors of the use of poison gas used by the Japs on China have reached us of late. And the star map for China Governing the next indicates that it. may be used again. And if so, China's Allies will retaliate in kind.

Further details of employes' retirement plan, under which workers of Owens-Illinois Glass Co. and its subsidiaries will be given substantial retirement Income in addition to their assured benefits under Federal Social Security, were announced today in all of the company's factories and sales offices. The plan has been worked out by company officials as promised in an announcement last December when It was revealed that a large part of the organization's 1941 profits had been set aside a first contribution to the retirement plan. The step announced today affects only hourly employes and those who receive salaries and wages up to $3000 a year. Em- ployes in higher salary brackets covered by other provisions of the retirement Income plan which in their case Is supported in part by the company and partly by their contribution.

No employe contributions are involved In the part of the plan announced today which affects those receiving salaries up to $3000, but the benefits those employes will, receive upon retirement, in many' cases, will be more than 50 percent of their Social Security benefits and in some cases will equal the Social Security benefits as now provided. The amount to be paid each worker upon retirement will bt governed by the employe's years of service with the company. In a letter to the company em- ployes, J. Preston Levis, president, said: "It has been the desire of this company to design a plan which will assist you financially when, after many years of service, you are no longer able to continue regular employment with the company. "The Service Retirement Income Plan which is being presented to you now is the second step in the Retirement Plan program that was started last December.

Its purpose is to provide supplementary benefits, which when combined with Social Security benefits, will give you a greater retirement Income. "The company sincerely desires to continue its Service Retirement Income Plan indefinitely. However, because the company bears the entire cost, continuation of the plan depends on a great number of factors, such as the company's prosperity, its financial condition, possible changes in laws and general economic conditions. "This is your plan and the continued cooperation of all employes will assist materially in keeping It in operation." The 850-mlle-long Rhine has its source in the glaciers of the Swiss Alps.
