Tuggle, electric sign manufac-

that one of his. brain children is fig-
uring in the battle of Britain. At
least the child looks similar.
Monday he noticed in the paper
the British were using a shell which
throws out a web of cables to «n-
snare invading airplanes. Tuggle
said that was his idea and that he
mailed blueprints of the device -to
the United States War Department
last May.
“It was jqst a screwy idea I hed,”
he said, “and I sent it to the War
Department to use if they

Altmeyer, chairman
Security Board, said
there would be “no retreat for social
Security as the result of the defense
program.”
Instead, he said, there was "like-
lihood of judicious strengthening of
the act as a bulwark for the internal
defense of the American
system.”
Altmeyer’s views were
in a statement reviewing
I of social security. The law became
effective Aug. 14. 1935.
“The stabilization of family in-
come represented by the social in-
surance and public assistance pro-
grams has become more important
than it ever was before,” Altmeyer
declared. “. . . No European nation
has found it necessary to curtail its
social insurance program in the face
of actual war.”
Reviewing activities under various
social security programs, he said
the unemployment service placed
more than 3,500,000 persons in jobs
last year.
Since the national defense pro-
gram has occasioned new demands
for apeeial skills, Altmeyer continu-
ed, the system of state employment

cial Security Board “has put thou-
